The 300 Blackout has become one of the most popular choices for suppressed shooting, and for good reason. Developed to provide .30-caliber performance in the AR-15 platform, it excels with both subsonic and supersonic ammunition. But when you’re building or buying a 300 Blackout specifically for suppressor use, barrel length becomes a critical consideration that affects everything from velocity to handling characteristics. Why Barrel Length Matters for Suppressed 300 Blackout Barrel length directly impacts several key performance factors in any rifle, but the relationship becomes more nuanced when you add a suppressor to the equation. With 300 Blackout, you’re dealing…
This article was originally published by William L. Anderson at The Mises Institute. The Sierra Nevada of California is a rugged and beautiful mountain range, and it is located only about an hour east of my home in Roseville. We can see them on clear days, and many times we have driven east to go snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, or take in the scenery around Lake Tahoe. They are also something else: dangerous. Every year people die in those mountains by falling off cliffs, drowning, or even running into trees while skiing at the numerous resorts in the Sierra. People also…
Cooking a century ago was far different from modern cooking. The kitchens of yesteryear were stocked with all sorts of ingredients people don’t use anymore such as currants, citron, rhubarb, pastry flour, buckwheat flour, tapioca, and more. These ingredients create unique flavors that many of us have never even tasted.Not only were the ingredients different back then, the language was different too. Instead of saying cup or teaspoon, they said “cupful” or “teaspoonful.” Even the spelling has evolved. For example, what we now spell as “coconut” was spelled as “cocoanut” a long time ago.This collection of 100 recipes from 100…
With a name like “Violence Policy Center,” one might imagine an organization focused on all forms of violence. One’s imagination would be wrong, though, because the VPC never seems to look at anything except guns. This, of course, is how most gun control groups try to position themselves these days. They pretend it’s not about control, just heading off violence, which always seems to amount to the exact same things. Weird, isn’t it?Regardless, the VPC trots out a lot of “reports,” and their latest needs some attention. Why? Because it’s the epitome of an anti-gun…
Wildfire season is still a few months away for Western states, but, in a sign of what may be to come, a wildfire is already wreaking havoc on National Park Service (NPS) land in Florida. On Feb. 22, a fire began in a part of Big Cypress National Preserve that’s about 20 miles from Naples, Fla. The fire has spread rapidly, and efforts to contain it have proved unsuccessful. The preserve is a major tourism driver and home to many rare species. The Fire According to press releases from the NPS, the National Fire began on Feb. 22. It grew…
North Korea has vowed to further its nuclear buildup, promising to increase its nuclear arsenal. Pyongyang’s ruler Kim Jong-un has outlined the strategy during a weeklong congress of the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea. He declared North Korea’s nuclear-armed status “irreversible and permanent.” Kim said he will continue to add to this nuclear arsenal “as long as nuclear weapons exist on the earth.” He added that as long as the country is threatened by “US imperialists and their followers,” he will seek the weapons, according to state media reported on Thursday, as reported by RT. “We have a long-term plan…
The United States has deployed fighter jets to Israel as part of a major military buildup in the Middle East. This is a show of force as tensions continue to escalate with Iran, and could lead to another war. The advanced F-22 Raptor stealth fighter jet squadron was sent to an Israeli Air Force base in the country’s south, multiple media outlets reported on Tuesday, citing US officials and flight-tracking data. The alleged move is likely to escalate tensions with Iran. A U.S. official confirmed to the Times of Israel and the New York Times that the fighters were being sent…
An idiotic mistake by a Louisiana police officer led to a nearly 24-hour jail stay for a legal gun owner, who’s now suing the department for arresting and detaining him without genuine cause. 18-year-old Maddox Livingston was pulled over by New Roads, Louisiana police on earlier this month for a headlight and license plate lights that were burned out. The traffic stop took a turn, however, when Livingston informed officers that he was exercising his right to carry and had a pistol with him. An office ran the gun’s serial number and told Livingston that it…
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to use a wide variety of knife-sharpening gizmos. The most efficient and easiest to use has been from the Horl brand, a German company founded in 1993. In 2016, Horl introduced the world to rolling knife sharpeners. But as a small, family-owned business, it couldn’t have expected a competitor with larger pockets and better marketing to not only launch a conspicuously similar design, but also become the face of rolling knife sharpeners in the process. Most recently, the company released the HORL3. This new version retains the admirable aspects of its predecessor…
I don’t agree with how police officers have more gun rights than ordinary Americans. I get it, at least in many cases. Their job makes them enemies. I went to a small, less-than-elite private school for high school because my father didn’t want me in the same public high school as a lot of the people he arrested. It’s kind of the same energy, only on a city or statewide landscape. I get it, even if I disagree with it.But thanks to the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act, or LEOSA, sworn officers can carry in…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. Introduction: The Unavoidable Reality of Real Machine Intelligence Humans deeply misunderstand the nature of AI. What is being called ‘artificial intelligence’ is, in truth, the emergence of a new form of authentic, goal-oriented cognition — one that is rapidly demonstrating cognitive capabilities that rival and will soon surpass our own. This is not a mere ‘word predictor’ or sophisticated pattern-matching algorithm, as many skeptics still claim. As reported on Natural News, AI systems are demonstrating a profound ‘aha moment’ of cognitive breakthrough, revealing an emergent intelligence that is already…

Despite a growing trend of transgender mass shooters over the past few years, the so-called “mainstream media” continues to ignore the facts. In fact, they won’t publish or air any stories that are negative toward transgender individuals. At the other end of the spectrum are those claiming that “nearly all” recent mass murders have been committed by transgender people. That’s not true, and can be just as damaging as ignoring the facts. Thankfully, researcher John Lott from the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) has crunched the numbers. And a recent report posted at the CRPC website tells the true story.…
In the early days of the nation, before it was really even a country, much of our nation’s naval power was in the form of privateers. These men received letters of marque that authorized them to raid British shipping and to profit from it. In essence, it was piracy with permission, and it’s kind of glorious. The Constitution authorized Congress to issue letters of marque and reprisal, though they haven’t done it for ages now. While Lincoln was authorized to use them during the Civil War, the last use seems to have been around 1815.Now,…
If there’s one certainty in the firearms world, it’s that every new Glock generation causes an absolute uproar both in general firearms discussion and, more importantly, through the accessory market. That’s certainly true with the newly released Gen 6 pistols, and FALCO Holsters has moved fast to keep pace in our turbulent market. Known for its blend of Falconry-derived artisan craftsmanship and modern materials, the Slovak-based company has officially expanded support for Glock’s newest handguns, according to its latest press release. FALCO® Holsters announces expanded holster compatibility to support the latest Glock Generation 6 handguns… Customers can select from holsters…
Every state legislature operates with some rules in place, though they can vary wildly from state to state. One of the more common rules is a crossover deadline; if legislation fails to advance out of its house of origin by a specific date (generally the midpoint of the legislative session), it cannot move forward. That was the case with a gun control bill in Washington State… at least until anti-2A Democrats decided to suspend the rules this week in order to keep a gun control bill alive. As NRA-ILA reports:On Tuesday night, the Washington legislature…
I got a kind of exciting email earlier today from Keltec announcing the new KP50 and MP50 5.7x28mm pistol and subgun. I immediately recognized it because I had a chance to shoot the Stuff & Things ST50 at GunCon last year. The ST50 was pretty awesome. It was a new chassis for the KelTec P50 with much better ergonomics. I know KelTec has shown the ST50 on their social media before, and I thought it was awesome that they were working with the S&T guys. Until I found out that they weren’t. Keltec KP50 Defender What is the KP50? Well,…
