Military movies based on true stories already have an advantage over fiction: Sometimes the screenwriter barely needs to embellish anything. Films such as Hacksaw Ridge, Black Hawk Down and The Outpost depict events that seem almost impossible. Look beyond the two-hour versions, though, and the real histories are often bigger, stranger or more brutal than what made it onto the screen.

Colorado used to be a fairly pro-gun state, but then the Aurora theater shooting happened, and it seems like the state absolutely lost its ever-loving mind. It’s been embracing more and more gun control, and the only reason it hasn’t had more is that Gov. Jared Polis has just enough libertarian leanings to keep some of the worst of it at bay.

The Pentagon’s efforts to test for low testosterone coincide with growing interest in the hormone…
Over the past few years federal courts have struggled and split over the question of whether adults younger than 21 are fully vested with their right to keep and bear arms. Some courts have argued that laws limiting the retail purchase of handguns or carrying a concealed firearm are fine, since in 1791 those under the age of 21 were considered minors.

Personnel near an operating diesel generator began reporting symptoms consistent with inhalation of exhaust fumes, including headaches, dizziness, nausea and respiratory irritation.

It’s been four years since the Independence Day parade in Highland Park, Illinois became a killing field, when a 21-year-old opened fire from the top of a building along the parade route and killed seven people while wounding more than 40 others. The killer is now serving multiple life sentences without the possibility of parole. Meanwhile, the state of Illinois banned the sale of so-called assault weapons as part of its Protect Illinois Communities Act. The longevity of that ban is in serious doubt after the Supreme Court agreed to hear a challenge to similar…
