California congressman Eric Swalwell is one of the most anti-2A politicians in D.C., and he’s not keeping his anti-gun activities confined to Washington, D.C.According to reports, Swalwell is now getting into the entertainment industry by serving as a producer on a new movie called The Gun on Second Street that looks to be chock full of gun control propaganda. Described as “an allegory of the gun crisis in the United States”, the film follows two Pittsburgh police partners and best friends who are called to an uneventful domestic violence dispute on Second Street. When Officer…
Carson Storch labeled himself a blue-collar athlete of the axle sports world. No wonder DECKED, the makers of workman-inspired truck bed drawer systems, liked him enough to sponsor him. “I do dumb stuff on my bike and get paid to do it,” Storch shrugs nonchalantly. This “dumb stuff” includes jumping out of perfectly good helicopters for cameras and ending up with a broken collarbone for his efforts. Or faceplanting after (kind of) landing massive jumps. His injuries paid off, because he also earned his way onto the podium of the FMB World Tour and Red Bull’s Rampage (twice). These gnarly…
One of the more vile moves Florida made after Parkland was to ban long gun sales to adults under 21. It’s bad enough to prohibit handguns for those lawful adults, but all long guns too? That means the Second Amendment doesn’t actually apply to them, which is heinous. And over the last few years, there have been efforts to fix that.Sure enough, there is one again this year, as the Florida House is set to vote on the measure.Needless to say, the media is ready to frame this as horrifically as they can. I mean,…
WATCHTOWER Defense is expanding its U.S-made firearm lineup with the launch of the APACHE COMMANDER, a compact double-stack 1911 built for everyday carry and hard-use performance. Veteran-founded and known for precision craftsmanship, WATCHTOWER says this is its first true tactical pistol. And it’s designed to run in the toughest conditions. Chambered in 9x19mm, the APACHE COMMANDER was built with concealment, fast draw, and durability in mind. It sports a compact profile, aggressive slide serrations, and an optics-ready plate cut right out of the gate. Everything is tuned to a duty-spec feel. It’s made for shooters who want a defensive pistol…
One of my favorite shows when I was growing up was MacGyver. Even as a teenager busy with school, work, and chasing girls, I made time for that show every week. Over the course of seven seasons, he used several different Swiss Army knife models, including the Spartan and the Tinker. I’d already had a Swiss Army knife for a few years before that TV show started, but it was because of MacGyver’s adventures that I started seeking out more of them. The Tinker was a particular favorite. It worked well enough when we were building forts and whittling sticks.…
Earlier today Tom Knighton covered the not-so-great news about the number of NICS checks performed on firearm transfers during Thanksgiving week, which were down about 13% compared to last year. One state that bucked the trend, though, is Virginia. The National Shooting Sports Foundation reports the state was among the top five across the country for both NICS checks in general and NICS checks on the transfer of long guns; a surge NSSF’s Mark Oliva attributes to concerns about a sweeping semi-auto ban coming as soon as the Democrats take complete control of state government…
On the surface, today’s Associated Press report about a significant decline in mass killings could be seen as a rare example of a mainstream press outlet not trying to scare its readers about “gun violence.” The AP’s headline, “Mass killings in 2025 in the US hit the lowest level since 2006” is unquestionably good news, and its lede is also straightforward in its reporting. A shooting last weekend at a children’s birthday party in California that left four dead was the 17th mass killing this year — the lowest number recorded since 2006, according to a…
About a quarter of U.S. service members and veterans who start psychotherapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) quit before they finish treatment, according to a recent study, with experts pushing for more effective long-term approaches to sustain mental health treatments.The study, titled “The Protocol Matters: A Meta-analysis of Psychotherapy Dropout from Specific PTSD Treatment Approaches in U.S. Service Members and Veterans,” was published in mid-November in the journal Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy through the American Psychological Association.It examined treatment methodologies for the approximate 7% of veterans affected by PTSD, per the Department of Veterans Affairs, which represents a number…
By Mossberg Press Release O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc. is proud to announce that it has been awarded a contract for approximately $11.6 million dollars to supply the U.S. Army with additional Mossberg 590A1 pump-action shotguns. First adopted by multiple branches of the U.S. Military in 1987, the Mossberg 590 proved its reliability and durability by successfully completing the rigorous MIL-SPEC 3443E testing protocol.Following its adoption, the U.S. Military requested a purpose-built variant capable of withstanding sustained, high-volume use in the most demanding environments. That requirement led directly to the development of the Mossberg 590A1 — a strengthened,…
This article was originally published by Rhoda Wilson at The Exposé. Dr. Vernon Coleman first became aware of the censoring of citizens by the British state in the 1970s and 1980s. In the 1980s, he wrote a good deal about the AIDS hoax, which the establishment didn’t like, and culminated in his book ‘The Health Scare’ being banned. “AIDS was the first attempt to control the world with a pandemic. And it was the similarity between the way AIDS was promoted and the way the coronavirus hoax was being promoted, which helped me understand the truth about COVID right at…
As winter approaches, many people across the Northern hemisphere are preparing for winter and engaging in their customary winterizing chores.Screens are coming down and storm windows are going up; doors, windows and electric sockets are checked for air leaks and sealed; furnace filters are replaced, chimneys swept clean, and the summer clothes are exchanged for winter clothes in the closets.A common-sense approach to managing heat in winter is defined by 3 things: insulation, conservation and prioritization.Want to save this post for later?

Since launching in 2009, State Bicycle Co. has carved out a reputation for delivering functionality without fluff. Launched this year, the Titanium All-Road certainly fits that bill — quiet and unremarkable, other than the iridescence of its State logos. Still fun as hell, though. Bombing the first descent. Air roaring past my ears. Rocks pinging off the downtube at 30+ mph. Teeth clenched, bike launching off square edges, bottles launched. I didn’t once think about the bike. Turned around, hopped off to get my bottles. Didn’t look at the frame for paint chips or cracks. Three hours later, I still…
President Donald Trump has been the most pro-Second Amendment president in living memory, if not the most pro-2A since the era of the Founding Fathers. That is solidified already, even if nothing else comes from the White House during the next three years. It was never a high bar to clear, after all, and he vaulted over it.But that doesn’t mean there aren’t issues. The Department of Justice has done some very pro-gun things. It’s also holding firm in defending some gun control laws. That’s creating a bit of whiplash for many pro-gun folks like…
With the government shutdown over, for now, it’s time to think about how you can financially prepare for the next time your pay and benefits might be affected. Having a plan can make a pay or benefits disruption an inconvenience instead of an emergency.Government shutdowns aren’t uncommon. We’ve had four since 2000, and from 1980 to 2000, the government shut down six times. What made this particular shutdown difference was its length — a record 43 days — and the fact that the federal government paid troops without congressional action to guarantee military pay. The Pentagon performed some extraordinary maneuvers…
By Logan Metesh The November edition of GunBroker.com’s Top Selling Report presented by GunGenius.com, showed just how popular a particular shotgun’s lineage can be. In this case, it’s what I call the Remington “Model 11 Family” of guns, composed of the Models 11, 11-48, 1100, and 11-87. Together, they took all of the top spots in the used semi-automatic shotgun category.Model 11If you think that the Remington Model 11 looks similar to the Auto-5 (or just A5) shotgun, you’re right – and for good reason. The Auto-5, which was designed by John Moses Browning, is the parent gun…
Beginning in the 1970s, we saw the steady rise of “Wonder Nine” pistols—high-capacity 9mm handguns with a double-action first shot. They combined the Walther P38’s DA trigger with the Browning Hi-Power’s double-column magazine. The Beretta 92, SIG P226, and CZ 75 defined the category, but a number of affordable, serviceable pistols also appeared. One of the better ones came from Argentina: the Bersa Thunder Pro. The original Thunder Pro was a full-size, DA/SA 9mm with a 15-round magazine and a slide-mounted decocker. It wasn’t a flashy pistol, but it ran reliably and earned a solid reputation with many shooters. Bersa…
Gun Owners of America is sounding the alarm after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up DOJ v. Missouri, leaving Missouri’s Second Amendment Protection Act (SAPA) effectively dead. And according to GOA’s Ben from the Minute Man Moment (see video below), the blame sits squarely on the shoulders of Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Department of Justice. For a law designed to protect Missouri gun owners from federal overreach, the ending couldn’t be more ironic. GOA notes that Bondi’s DOJ attacked SAPA the same way the Biden administration did, even though President Trump had issued an executive order directing agencies…
Sleep is our No. 1 recovery tool from the day’s physical, mental, emotional, family and work stress. Stress is always going to be part of our day, and it makes sense to optimize our ability to recover from it and be better prepared for tomorrow. Too many times, in our work week, we carry over yesterday’s stress, reducing our sleep quality and setting ourselves on the path toward chronic, unresolved stress that is the foundation of chronic illnesses such as diabetes, stroke, heart attack and some cancers.You may not realize this, but your bedtime routine starts up to 12 hours before…
