A turncoat who left a decades-long career in the gun industry to work for an anti-gun group has announced he is running for Congress in the state of Montana, raising a red flag with the powerful National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF). In his career, Ryan Busse spent 25 years working for a leading American firearm manufacturer, during which time the company produced more than 2.3 million rifles, pistols and revolvers. But as NSSF pointed out in a recent press item, after leaving, Busse took a high-dollar paid lobbying position with the national gun control group GIFFORDS Courage to Fight Gun…

This article was originally published by Zoey Sky at Natural News.  Yulia Timoshenko, a major opposition figure, is facing new criminal charges for allegedly organizing a scheme to buy parliamentary votes. This comes at a time when President Zelensky’s government is already unstable and struggling to pass legislation. The investigation is conducted by anti-corruption agencies (NABU and SAPO) that Timoshenko recently tried to weaken. Last year, she supported a bill to strip these agencies of their independence, which was only reversed after Western pressure. This makes the timing of the charges seem politically suspicious. Timoshenko denies wrongdoing, calling the raid a “publicity…

January is an underrated month for the outdoors. Depending on where you live, you might be knee-deep in the snow or simply a bit chilly. Either way, winter won’t keep us from skiing or camping — provided you have the right gear. This week’s gear roundup will keep you prepared while taking some weight off your shoulders. From backpacking tents and chairs that weigh less than a pineapple, to cute little YETI coolers — the ultralight crowd will find plenty to love here. But we’re also keen on some new BOA ski boots and some sweet wool threads from The North…

It was nearly 20 years ago when I slapped skins on my dad’s old 210cm telemark skis for the first time. Those first few tele turns made that much more unnatural by the headlamp-lit darkness and the icy bite of the evening wind. It didn’t help that his old Garmonts were at least three mondo sizes too big for my teenage feet. I was absolutely swimming.  Yet somehow it clicked. Dropping a knee weirdly made sense, even if my feet were a wobbly, sloppy mess and the telemark equipment of the day was a sketchily contrived deathtrap. Fast forward 2…

With no fee for NFA items like suppressors and short-barreled long guns, Americans are jumping at the opportunity to get things they likely always wanted, but didn’t want to have to fool with the tax stamp on. Let’s be real here, even in today’s money, $200 isn’t exactly pocket change. So, they’re taking advantage of the tax going away and embracing it.Sure, they still have to register them, but while that is working its way through the courts, it also offers up a golden opportunity for some weapons-grade trolling.For example, one gentleman registered a potato.“TATE001”That’s…

The Glock 43x is still riding a wave of popularity since it was released in early 2019, and it’s easy to see why. Compact, up to 15 rounds without resorting to extended mags, and the usual level of reliability Glocks are known for. Rumor has it that adding a small compensator utterly transforms this handgun in particular, so I sent out a request ASAP. I needed a threaded barrel to make this happen, and following the recommendation of a few friends who swear by SilencerCo, I picked one up. Let’s check the tech specs before we get to install and…
