Gov. Gavin Newsom announced he’d signed a slew of gun control bills into law. In similarly surprising news, the sun rose in the east this morning here in Georgia and is still expected to set in the west. One of the bills he signed would restrict 3D printers themselves, not just the 3D printing of guns as an activity.This is one we’ve spent a lot of time talking about, but now it’s here, and it has the potential to impact the entire industry, not just people stuck in hostile territory.So what does the law actually…
Iran’s currency fell to a new record low on Tuesday, with traders in Tehran exchanging more than 2.5 million rials to the U.S. dollar in a stark reflection of how the war in the Middle East has steadily eroded the Iranian economy. The latest decline came just 27 days after the rial hit its previous record low of 2.2 million to the dollar on Sept. 2. The currency has repeatedly reached new lows since the war began in February. The Iranian economy has been under duress for years in the face of international sanctions. But a U.S. naval blockade on…

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is adjusting its guidance on prescribing psychotropic medications. The VA announced Monday that it would put in place guidance on informed consent which it said would increase transparency for veterans before they receive psychotropic medications, which include antipsychotics, stimulants, antidepressants, anxioloyctics and opioids. Psychotropic medications are prescription drugs that affect chemical levels in the brain to change a person’s mood, thoughts, behavior, or perception. Medics use them to treat mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. “America’s veterans should get as much information as possible as they are deciding what treatment is…
The Army made a significant change to how it handles failed Tuition Assistance and Credentialing Assistance courses. Soldiers who incur two recoupment actions within the same fiscal year — meaning they owe money back because a TA- or CA-funded course wasn’t completed or passed — are now automatically suspended from requesting either program for a full 12 months. Where the Policy Came From The Army announced a broader policy overhaul in December 2024, following a review that found the Credentialing Assistance program’s cost had nearly doubled every year since its 2020 launch, according to the Army’s announcement. Christine Traugott, policy…
An en banc panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has reversed lower court decisions that found a pair of regulations imposed on gun buyers in Hawaii to be facially incompatible with the Second Amendment. One of the laws in question gives handgun buyers 30 days to purchase a specified handgun after obtaining a state-issued permit, while the other requires purchasers to “register and submit to physical inspection the firearm” in question. According to the majority of the en banc panel, these bizarre requirements are just part of a “shall issue” licensing system and are…
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — President Donald Trump returned to the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday at a tumultuous moment for the world — and for his presidency — and made the case that he’s shown fortitude while other leaders have equivocated. The president started his address ticking off progress — including adding private sector jobs, stemming illegal migration and curbing crime before turning to a fulsome defense of his decision to start a war with Iran. Trump accused Iran of stalling to make a deal to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz and negotiate an endgame to the war until…
I like doctors just fine, but I’m not overly fond of the various organizations that speak for doctors. The American Medical Association has been on my crap list for years, for example, because they routinely step into anti-gun arguments and don’t know what they’re talking about. They see the narrow view of things and think that makes them experts. Pediatrics, as a specialty, also does that. So when I saw that the city of Toledo was honored by the state chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics for its “safe storage” effort, I almost got…
President Donald Trump said his administration is seeking “a fundamental change in the situation in Cuba,” which he described as “an absolutely failed state” that “will fall” during a speech Tuesday at a United Nations gathering of world leaders in New York. Trump said Cuba is “under great pressure, the biggest pressure they’ve ever been under,” and is “failing,” in a speech to dignitaries attending the high-level week of the UN General Assembly. He said Secretary of State Marco Rubio was handling negotiations with Havana. “He’s deep into negotiations with Cuba. Let’s see what happens. We will not allow a…
An Uber Eats driver is now looking for a new gig thanks to the company’s driver disarmament policy, but police in Port St. Lucie, Florida say the driver was acting in lawful self-defense when he drew his gun and shot a man who had threatened him with a knife after a dispute over a parking space. The incident unfolded outside a Pollo Tropical restaurant in Port St. Lucie on Saturday afternoon. Port St. Lucie Police Chief Leo Niemczyk says a 37-year-old Christopher Harris started jawing with the Uber Eats driver outside of the restaurant and…
The Department of Defense (DOD) has confirmed the non-hostile death of a U.S. Army officer who was supporting ongoing operations in Iran. A defense official reportedly told Task & Purpose that the female soldier died after suffering a medical incident on a military flight en route to Saudi Arabia on Monday. The Pentagon updated the Defense Casualty Analysis System on Sept. 21, listing the death of the unnamed individual under “Overseas Operations.” The Pentagon’s database added that the service member was over 35 and that the death was “undetermined.” The identity of the service member was not released. Military.com reached…
I’m glad to see felons have a chance to get their gun rights restored. On November 4, the DOJ will accept the first 5,000 applications from the general public, and I expect those slots will fill pretty quickly, assuming there will be slots or something. We still don’t know. What we do know is that it’s been nearly 35 years since felons could get their rights back at the federal level. And not everyone is thrilled by this direction. In fact, as we’re looking at what’s going on here, we need to remember how the gun…
The United States plans to open two military bases in Greenland as part of a broader deal the two countries will sign on Tuesday, according to a report. The U.S. will open the bases in Narsarsuaq, an area with a very small population, and Mestersvig, a military outpost currently used by the Danish special forces unit, Sirius Dog Sled Patrol, according to Reuters, citing anonymous sources. President Donald Trump previously made threats to purchase or annex Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark, citing national security concerns. The president said its mineral wealth and strategic location made it key…
The recent opinion from the DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel finding the federal ban on handgun sales to adults younger than 21 unconstitutional appears to be having a positive effect on a lawsuit challenging the statute in question. Earlier this year a federal judge in Louisiana held that the law is unconstitutional and granted an injunction against enforcement, but only within the Fifth Circuit and only for individuals who were members of Firearms Policy Coalition, Second Amendment Foundation, and Louisiana Shooting Sports Association at the time the lawsuit was filed. The plaintiffs appealed the scope of…
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia bombarded at least four Ukrainian regions overnight with missiles and drones, killing five people, officials said Tuesday, and Ukraine’s forces damaged another Russian oil refinery in their latest long-range strike. The ongoing exchange of daily aerial attacks, while positions on the battlefield’s front line barely change, provided a backdrop to the visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the United States. Zelenskyy was due to meet other world leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump, at the U.N. General Assembly in New York. The Ukrainian leader is hoping to recruit their help to end Russia’s more…
Over 30,000 veterans’ sensitive health data was compromised after a cybersecurity breach took place at a genetic testing laboratory. News outlet FedScoop, citing an email a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) official sent to congressional staff on Monday, reported that a cybersecurity incident at the company Baylor Genetics around June 15 led to the information leak. The outlet said this led to an unauthorized third party accessing names, dates of birth, medical testing information, lab test results, health insurance date and partial Social Security numbers. Military.com verified the email and its contents after reaching out to the VA. “Upon learning…
