The court decision that opened up short-barreled long guns to be bought by some without having to jump through the NFA paperwork rigmarole isn’t a big deal. For the decision to apply, you have to be a member of a handful of groups or an organization affiliated with one of those groups. It’s not something everyone is just going to do. But for the leftists at The New Republic, the Trump administration’s decision to not continue fighting to defend the NFA in this context is the most horrible thing ever, because it makes “gangster guns”…
1x David Cyr thought he was going to lunch. Instead, a fellow Army first sergeant walked him into an education center, sat him down with a college adviser and changed the trajectory of his life. Cyr had spent years focused on his Army career while largely putting his education on hold. That day, however, he walked out of the education center as a college student. Looking back, Cyr considers it one of the most consequential moments in his educational journey. “Unless he had forced me to sign up for college, I may have just kept kicking the can down the…

A bizarre law in New Jersey that prohibits carrying almost anything other than a firearm for self-defense is being challenged by the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs and Knife Rights. The lawsuit, filed today in federal court, takes on New Jersey Statute 2C:39-5(d), which essentially criminalizes arming yourself in potential self-defense with anything that might be used as a weapon. There’s a carve-out in state law for individuals who possess a valid license to carry a firearm, and another exception for “[O]ne pocket-sized device which contains and releases not more than three-quarters…
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has approved over $13.6 million in funds to create a veterans cemetery in Augusta, Ga. Proper burials are important to honor deceased service members and to provide closure for their families. But military families in Augusta currently often travel long distances for burial services, like in Fort Jackson, Columbia, or to the Georgia Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Milledgeville. The $13,610,908 grant, awarded by the VA’s National Cemetery Administration on Sept. 16, intends to change this. It will create the largest veterans cemetery in the entire state, built on more than 200 acres of land…

From flying high to kayaking on the water, retired Air Force Lt. Col. Christine Hill has found her calling twice. A decorated pilot and former weapons systems officer for B1 bombers, Hill left military service in 2003, but still had a heart for the lives of active-duty soldiers, veterans and first responders and water. Twenty years later, she was invited to join “Heroes on the Water,” an organization that aligned with her passions. It offers therapeutic programs coupled with the feel-good benefits of kayak fishing to help military personnel and first responders being treated for trauma and PTSD take a…
The first-person perspective in video games is often used to make a game more immersive. After all, it mimics the view you would have if you were in your avatar’s shoes, rather than moving them around with a controller. While it’s most commonly used for first-person shooters, this perspective has a lot more to offer. Take these next games. They’re undoubtedly first-person games, but they don’t feature any combat to worry about. Instead, they’re all about exploration. What they do with that exploration varies, but it’s typically used to tell a deeper, more affecting story than would be possible if…
WASHINGTON (AP) — Crews are again draining the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool as President Donald Trump’s problem-plagued efforts to revamp the waterway pushes well past his initial goal of having it ready by July 4 to mark the nation’s 250th birthday. The president at first suggested his renovations would last a century. But, within weeks of the project originally reaching completion last month, the water was beset by an algae bloom and pieces of the new coating appeared to be peeling off the bottom. Trump has blamed the peeling on vandals, though critics allege it’s from shoddy repair work. Interior…
The U.S. Army is organized into three main rank groups: enlisted soldiers (E-1 to E-9), warrant officers (W-1 to W-5) and commissioned officers (O-1 to O-10). Each group reflects a different level of responsibility, expertise, leadership and pay. Enlisted soldiers make up 82% of the Army and get hands-on training, including for any career field that interests them. They perform most of the hands-on work, from combat roles to technical tasks, logistics, administration and more. As they advance into the noncommissioned officer (NCO) and senior NCO ranks, they become responsible for training, mentoring and managing lower-ranking soldiers. Warrant officers are…
