Fresh on the heels of its lawsuit challenging Denver, Colorado’s ban on “assault weapons,” the Department of Justice has now filed a new complaint in federal court taking on the state’s ban on “large capacity” magazines.  As Bearing Arms reported on Tuesday, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser was recently sent a demand letter from DOJ’s Civil Rights Division warning of litigation if the state continued to enforce its prohibition on the sale, transfer, and in many cases, the possession of ammunition magazines that can hold more than 15 rounds. Now the DOJ has followed up…

It also fired two drones at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, UAE authorities said Monday. Iran Says The US Is Lying About Striking Iranian Boats This news comes as the US announced it will temporarily pause “Project Freedom,” a “humanitarian effort” aimed at guiding vessels and oil tankers safely through the Strait of Hormuz, as the blockades affect global oil supply.

It isn’t often that a National Guard Assault Helicopter Battalion has to rescue hikers and their pets, but when they do, they’re well-equipped for the job.
