When my husband and I started dating in 2010, I told my dad, a retired Air Force Airborne Warning and Control System mechanic, that my date was a Black Hawk pilot. My dad made a face and said helicopters were just flying rocks and called them dangerous. He said he had no desire ever to fly on one.In 2013, my husband was deployed to Afghanistan for the first time. I was seven months pregnant and at home when the phone rang. I answered and heard my husband’s voice saying, “There was a crash. It wasn’t me. You won’t hear from…
As the legal court battle over the Trump administration’s efforts to ban certain books in Defense Department schools for military children makes its way through the courts, new details are emerging about the parallel effort to ban some books at the military service academies.In April, the Naval Academy became the only one of the three service academies to release a complete list of the books it pulled from its library following the orders of the Trump administration. Of those 381 books that were identified in the spring, an official told Military.com that 21 have been formally removed — including nine…

Canadians have a lot of gun control laws these days. They’ve always had more than us, but they used to be pretty free, all things considered. Then Justin Trudeau got caught in “brownface” from one of his cosplays, and rather than just apologize, resign, or do literally anything else, he decided to focus on gun control–he learned from former Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, apparently–and all was forgiven. So, he made life hard for millions of Canadians.But do you know who in the Great White North doesn’t care about that? Criminals. They get guns however they…
It never hurts to ask for some help from your friends. And it’s certainly paying off for Subaru. One of the last major automakers to enter the EV market, it will soon have three battery-electric vehicles in its U.S. lineup thanks to some assistance from Japanese giant Toyota. Subaru just pulled the wraps off its latest entry, the 2026 Uncharted, a compact crossover set to reach U.S. showrooms early in 2026. It follows the Trailseeker, launched earlier this year at the New York Auto Show, as well as an updated version of its original battery-electric SUV, the Solterra. The new…
The felony burglary trial of Minnesota State Senator Nicole Mitchell took a somewhat surprising twist on Thursday when the DLF legislator and Moms Demand Action ally took the stand in her own defense. On Wednesday, Mitchell’s defense attorneys said they weren’t sure whether she would testify, and said that the decision would be made after calling several other witnesses. Instead, Mitchell was sworn in around 9:45 on Thursday morning, and testified for several hours about her job history, relationship with her stepmother, and a number of other topics, all while managing to avoid any direct…
Some of the media have figured out that the bird flu has evaporated from headlines as the war-mongering has increased. However, even though it’s out of the news, the media that are still reporting on it have warned that avian influenza is still circulating. The United States has also ended its emergency response to the H5N1 HPAI (highly pathogenic avian influenza) as the infections in human beings have disappeared. U.S. Ends Its Bird Flu Emergency Response As Infections Disappear Bird flu has rapidly disappeared from the thoughts of most people and the headlines. But according to a report by Scientific…

There are more than 8-million people living in New York City, and every adult is subject to a rash of gun-related restrictions that make it nearly impossible to exercise their Second Amendment rights. Possessing a gun without a license can land someone in prison for years, but good luck getting a premises permit or a permit to carry in a timely manner; not to mention navigating a maze of red tape and forking over hefty fees to exercise a fundamental civil right. Casting a wide net of criminality over a constitutional right makes sense if the goal…
The anti-gun media is at it again, this time spinning away the decision by a group of Democratic attorneys general to drop their request for injunctive relief in the DOJ’s settlement with Rare Breed Triggers as a victory when that’s far from the case. As we wrote last week, the AGs dropped their request to halt the return of forced reset triggers seized by the ATF if they would be shipped to states where they’re banned after a federal judge essentially told them they had no case. Weeks ago, and shortly after the DOJ and Rare…

Human beings are born to fight. It’s honestly kind of weird. All of God’s creations have a violent streak. Your typical house cat will torture anything smaller than itself for fun. When your adorable puppy is violently shaking that little squeaky toy, in his mind, he is ripping the life out of some small, innocent creature. However, all that pales in comparison to homo sapiens. Humans’ Fighting Nature This curious drive toward pugilism pervades everything about our culture. Football is just thinly veiled small-unit combat. Feel free to raise your kids in a gun-free home if you wish. Just don’t…

When you think about suppressors, you probably jump right to rifles (unless you’re a movie buff, in which case it’s handguns).

Thanks to the team at SilencerCo, it can be done. Here’s what you need to know and why you should take a closer look at the SilencerCo Salvo 12. Salvo 12 The SilencerCo Salvo 12 is a suppressor that’s made specifically for 12-gauge shotguns. That means it’s a dedicated…
If you are new to deer hunting or long-range shooting, chances are that a rifle chambered in the .243 Winchester cartridge has come up in conversation as you weigh your options. That choice comes with good reason. The .243 offers a lighter bullet and consequently lighter recoil than bigger rounds that start with bigger numbers: .270, 7mm, .30, and so on. You get less movement of the rifle. This helps curb bad shooting habits and allows you to get off a quicker second shot if you need it. It also helps that manufacturers have long made shorter-stocked rifles intended for…
