Anytime the ACLU makes a stand even somewhat related to gun rights, it’s news. For a long time, they ignored the Second Amendment, arguing that other groups handled that right just fine, so they focused on other rights. Then, they became downright anti-gun, and it pissed a lot of people off. I mean, I value all of my rights, and I recognize that my Second Amendment rights are the insurance policy that keeps the rest safe should the courtroom fail. But, when there’s another right they like that seems to be tied in, they can…

I started off today’s posts with the news of two gun control bills heading to Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s desk, so I think it’s fitting that my last post of the day focuses on a new poll that found the Democrats’ extensive anti-gun agenda is broadly unpopular among residents of the Old Dominion  The survey of 800 likely voters was conducted by Quantus Insights in mid-February, and contains a number of interesting findings. Among them:84% of those surveyed agree that the right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental freedom protected by the U.S.…

The 300 Blackout has become one of the most popular choices for suppressed shooting, and for good reason. Developed to provide .30-caliber performance in the AR-15 platform, it excels with both subsonic and supersonic ammunition. But when you’re building or buying a 300 Blackout specifically for suppressor use, barrel length becomes a critical consideration that affects everything from velocity to handling characteristics. Why Barrel Length Matters for Suppressed 300 Blackout Barrel length directly impacts several key performance factors in any rifle, but the relationship becomes more nuanced when you add a suppressor to the equation. With 300 Blackout, you’re dealing…

This article was originally published by William L. Anderson at The Mises Institute.  The Sierra Nevada of California is a rugged and beautiful mountain range, and it is located only about an hour east of my home in Roseville. We can see them on clear days, and many times we have driven east to go snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, or take in the scenery around Lake Tahoe. They are also something else: dangerous. Every year people die in those mountains by falling off cliffs, drowning, or even running into trees while skiing at the numerous resorts in the Sierra. People also…

Cooking a century ago was far different from modern cooking. The kitchens of yesteryear were stocked with all sorts of ingredients people don’t use anymore such as currants, citron, rhubarb, pastry flour, buckwheat flour, tapioca, and more. These ingredients create unique flavors that many of us have never even tasted.Not only were the ingredients different back then, the language was different too. Instead of saying cup or teaspoon, they said “cupful” or “teaspoonful.” Even the spelling has evolved. For example, what we now spell as “coconut” was spelled as “cocoanut” a long time ago.This collection of 100 recipes from 100…

With a name like “Violence Policy Center,” one might imagine an organization focused on all forms of violence. One’s imagination would be wrong, though, because the VPC never seems to look at anything except guns. This, of course, is how most gun control groups try to position themselves these days. They pretend it’s not about control, just heading off violence, which always seems to amount to the exact same things. Weird, isn’t it?Regardless, the VPC trots out a lot of “reports,” and their latest needs some attention. Why? Because it’s the epitome of an anti-gun…

Wildfire season is still a few months away for Western states, but, in a sign of what may be to come, a wildfire is already wreaking havoc on National Park Service (NPS) land in Florida. On Feb. 22, a fire began in a part of Big Cypress National Preserve that’s about 20 miles from Naples, Fla. The fire has spread rapidly, and efforts to contain it have proved unsuccessful. The preserve is a major tourism driver and home to many rare species. The Fire According to press releases from the NPS, the National Fire began on Feb. 22. It grew…

North Korea has vowed to further its nuclear buildup, promising to increase its nuclear arsenal.  Pyongyang’s ruler Kim Jong-un has outlined the strategy during a weeklong congress of the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea. He declared North Korea’s nuclear-armed status “irreversible and permanent.” Kim said he will continue to add to this nuclear arsenal “as long as nuclear weapons exist on the earth.” He added that as long as the country is threatened by “US imperialists and their followers,” he will seek the weapons, according to state media reported on Thursday, as reported by RT.  “We have a long-term plan…

The temperatures had plummeted for the first time all season. Welcoming the stormy weather, I summited an in-bounds uphill route just as the sun peaked over Colorado’s Gore Range through scattered clouds. I snapped into my ski bindings for an unspoiled powder run, and then squeezed in two more before the resort’s lifts started to hum. By the time I reached 11,000 feet, the wind was harsh and howling. I was wearing Outdoor Research’s new Powderverse Ski Pants and Jacket — thankfully, I was layered for the turbulent conditions. Frozen flakes bounced off my legs. I felt protected against the icy gusts by the Powderverse…

Our nation is a nation of immigrants, sure, but the bulk of our early culture was essentially English culture transported to the colonies, then the new nation. After all, that is the nation of our roots, for the most part. But, in the course of the American Revolution 250 years ago, we started moving in a very, very different direction. Now, we may share the same language, more or less, but the similarities mostly end there.Want proof of that? A political party named Restore Britain, which is considered far-right by British standards, has a proposal that…

It’s 6:00 p.m., and I’ve just landed in Panama, a place I’ve never been and where my 2 years of half-assed college Spanish courses are doing no favors. I make my way out to the pickup area and promptly get into the wrong Uber, starting my ride to God knows where. This would mark the beginning of my several-day fishing trip to rural Panama, chasing all kinds of ocean species and outdoor adventures at Los Buzos. Perhaps my only touchstone of normalcy and confidence was my pocket knife; I don’t go anywhere without an EDC. For this adventure, I chose…
