Gun control proponents routinely dismiss our arguments that they treat the Second Amendment as a second-class right. They often offer the rebuttal that no right is absolute and that there are reasonable restrictions on all of them, which might technically be true, but they’re ignoring something important: no right is subject to the level of restriction that the Second Amendment is. Enter California, because of course it’s California.We already know what bills got signed.One of the most egregious was the new training mandate. Even people moving into the state have to not just register their…

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s military on Monday said explosions that injured three of its officers last week inside the heavily fortified Demilitarized Zone separating the Koreas were probably caused by North Korean mines. The South’s Joint Chiefs of Staff announced the preliminary finding after inspecting the site with the U.S.-led United Nations Command. The assessment could further heighten tensions between the rivals. Relations have deteriorated sharply in recent years amid North Korea’s accelerating nuclear weapons program and the collapse of U.S.-led diplomacy aimed at resolving the nuclear standoff. Three South Korean military officers were injured in two…

CUT RATES NOW! A patriotic Federal Reserve should put the United States first and cut rates. The Federal Reserve’s job is maximum employment and price stability. That mandate was written for the American people, not for foreign bondholders, not for the convenience of governments that fund themselves in dollars, and not for a global audience that likes high U.S. rates when it is convenient and complains when it is not. When public debt sits near 100% of GDP—the first time that debt held by the public has reached that wartime scale since the aftermath of World War II—and when net…

Combining finances is one of the first big money decisions a military couple makes, and it usually comes down to one question: Should you open a joint bank account? For most military couples, joint bank accounts make money management easier, especially with deployments, PCS moves and unpredictable schedules. But shared banking isn’t automatically right for every family, and it comes with a few tradeoffs worth understanding first. Here’s what military couples need to know about joint bank accounts, including when they make sense, when separate accounts work better, and how to protect your money either way. Pros and Cons of…

The FED Hiked. It’s Trump’s Move Next Kevin Warsh raised rates a quarter point on Wednesday, to 3.75–4.00 percent, and he did it for the reason a grown-up central bank exists: inflation has been too high for too long, and a strong economy can take a small insurance payment without stalling. The vote was 12–0. The statement was short and unmistakable. Activity is expanding at a solid pace. Productivity is strong. Capital investment is robust. Job gains have kept pace with the workforce. Unemployment has barely moved. Then the line that matters: today’s action supports a timelier return to 2…

Some air-powered guns are anything but toys. Others actually are. Either way, they’re considered great starter guns for many due to the lower cost, the lower power levels, and the lack of recoil. Hell, a lot of experienced shooters use them for target practice from time to time. They’re not firearms, though, and that’s an important thing to understand.For one congressman from California — I know, big shock — that doesn’t matter. What matters is that someone did something with one, and now, we’re all supposed to kneel to the fearmongering.Modern airguns can be powerful…
