It can often take months for prosecutors to decide whether or not to pursue charges in a shooting where the person who pulled the trigger acted in self-defense and defense of others, even when the circumstances appear to be pretty cut and dried. So, the fact that prosecutors in Wayne County have already decided that an April 19 shooting was a justified use of force is pretty incredible, especially since three people were killed in the shooting. The facts in favor of the armed citizen must be pretty compelling for prosecutors to swiftly conclude he…
This article was originally published by Ryan McMacken at The Mises Institute. Donald Trump ran for the presidency as a populist, and he won as a populist. All the usual suspects—such as Hillary Clinton—condemned him as a populist. The political playbook his campaign followed served up the typical populist fare for the voters. That is, Trump promised to serve the “common people” by fighting against the ruling class, “draining the swamp,” punishing the corrupt, ending the government gravy train, and generally throwing a monkey wrench in the whole ruling class’s machine of exploitation. But now, with nearly three years still…
It’s impossible to say when the first bricks were made, but the walls of ancient cities have been found and determined to be thousands of years old. The walls of Jericho were dated at 7,000 years old and made of brick.

The ancient Egyptians were known for their stonework when constructing the pyramids and the sphinx, but their bricks were used to construct mostly homes and smaller…

Images by the author Reloaders like to control all aspects of their craft – this I know from first-hand experience. From sourcing components like cases, bullets, powder, primers, etc., to getting things ready to go to “press”, the more control you have over things, the better. Nowhere is that more true than with case preparation. You cannot create top-quality reloads without having a good foundation for them to begin with. Cartridge cases comprise that foundation. Good quality cases are necessary to create uniform, consistent loads regardless of caliber or purpose. Whether you are blasting steel targets, running tactical courses, or…

If you tell an anti-gunner that they see the Second Amendment as a second-class right, they’ll likely scoff at you. They’ll say that no right is absolute and that wanting a few restrictions isn’t the same thing as thinking it’s a second-class right. Never mind that they would never tolerate the level of intrusions we see in the Second Amendment exist in the First. Want to require special licenses before starting a blog or Substack? You’re a monster! Want to require a permit before buying a gun? GENIUS!So yeah, they see it that way, even…

Similar language has already been enshrined into law in California, and several other Democrat-run states, including Maryland, have taken aim at the popular pistols as well. Republican lawmakers in the Connecticut House tried to push back on the measure, but were simply outnumbered when it came time to count…
