There are a lot of times when we’re told we have to submit fingerprints. I had to do it when applying for my carry permit here in Georgia, for example, and that’s still the rule, though constitutional carry makes it a little less of a pain for most people. For NFA items like suppressors or machine guns, you’ve long had to submit fingerprints with your application. I always figured it was to make sure you were really you and not some felon pretending to be you, though it’s not like bad guys routinely send paperwork…

The American flag has always meant different things to different people. For many, it’s a symbol of freedom, military service, family, and the country they love. For others, it can stir up more complicated emotions tied to America’s past and present. That debate erupted this week after The View co-host Sunny Hostin said neighborhoods filled with American flags make her feel “unsafe” following a discussion about a recent white nationalist march in Washington, D.C. The Hill covered the exchange, which quickly lit up social media and drew criticism from Republican lawmakers. “There are times when I walk into a community…

Amid the fallout from PlayStation’s announcement that it will halt physical disc manufacturing in 2028, SEC filings reveal that Sony CEO Hiroki Totoki sold over half of his stock shortly after the news broke.

Healthcare workers on the frontlines of the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have begun an unofficial strike. Those on strike say that they are working in poor conditions with inadequate safety equipment and low wages. As of today, an X post by BNO News reported that 1,729 Ebola cases and 582 deaths have occurred in the DRC and Uganda, where the Bundibugyo strain of the virus is spreading in an already chaotic region gripped by conflict and mass migration. Government officials in Ituri said the missing payments are because of the broader implications of the outbreak.…

Eat My Brains: The name of a legendary rock slab in the trail network of Rossland, British Columbia. It starts with a narrow, loose talus entrance into a 30-foot rock roll, down a naturally rusted gold-and-copper iron hat. Essentially, those minerals are embedded in a volcanic sedimentary ore that originally attracted prospectors to Monte Christo in the 1890s. As I entered the loose talus, the bike slightly lurched forward as the motor engaged in Turbo, making the technical entrance that much more difficult. I gently tapped the brakes and controlled the bike. I stabilized and composed myself as I rolled…

It’s amazing how many journalists still claim there’s no inherent bias in the media, while every publication of any community above a few thousand seems to have an anti-gun editorial board. I’m not talking about the odd op-ed, because those are the opinions of individuals that may or may not reflect the publication’s management’s views.
