Colion Noir is pushing back on the gun control narrative following a deadly mass shooting in Australia. He points to the attack as evidence that bans don’t stop determined evil. According to authorities, two gunmen opened fire during a Jewish community celebration marking the first night of Hanukkah near Sydney’s Bondi Beach. At least 15 people were killed. One attacker was killed during the incident, another was taken into custody in critical condition, and investigators are now looking into whether a third individual may have been involved. Australian officials labeled the attack terrorism. The shooters reportedly used long guns, and…

At least 15 people were killed after a mass shooting during a Hanukkah event at Australia’s Bondi Beach in Sydney on Sunday. Officials in Australia are vowing to further tighten the country’s already strict gun laws after what they said was a terrorist attack targeting Jewish people celebrating Hanukkah. On Sunday, December 14th, at 18:47 local time (07:47 GMT), police received reports that shots had been fired at a park in Bondi Beach. Footage verified by the BBC appears to show two gunmen firing from a small bridge near a car park on Campbell Parade, on the northern end of Bondi…

A New Jersey man’s firearms and permits were confiscated by authorities after a weird series of events and possible malfeasance. After filing suit, his oppressors indicate they want to settle. Elsid Aliaj had his firearms confiscated by the Fort Lee, N.J. police department. After an event that had to do with his wife and a miscommunication at a hospital, Aliaj ended up having his firearms and firearms identification card confiscated. The case is beyond strange and in the time since the lawsuit was filed, both the Bergen County Prosecutor’s office and Fort Lee Police Department…

Wall Street Journal reporter Mark Maremont is once again targeting Americans who lawfully carry concealed handguns. His latest article, “The Innocent Bystanders Caught in Deadly Crossfire of Self-Defense Shootings,” claims that legally armed civilians are putting innocent people at risk during self-defense encounters. According to research compiled by John R. Lott Jr., president of the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), the evidence does not support that conclusion. Maremont cites four incidents from 2022 to the present in which he claims concealed carry permit holders accidentally shot bystanders while defending themselves. However, Lott’s review of those cases shows that only two…

WASHINGTON (AP) — The two Iowa National Guard members killed in a weekend attack that the U.S. military blamed on the Islamic State group in Syria were identified Monday. The U.S. Army named them as Sgt. Edgar Brian Torres-Tovar, 25, of Des Moines, and Sgt. William Nathaniel Howard, 29, of Marshalltown. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds ordered all flags in Iowa to fly at half-staff in their honor, saying that, “We are grateful for their service and deeply mourn their loss.” The Pentagon’s chief spokesman, Sean Parnell, has said a civilian working as a U.S. interpreter also was killed. Three other…

The attack at Bondi in Australia was beyond awful. It was an act of terrorism perpetuated by a father-son duo that used the firearms still available in Australia to kill 15 people, as of this writing, though the body count may still increase. It was beyond terrible, and it was something that shouldn’t have happened. Especially if gun control works as people claim.It doesn’t, but many pointed to Australia as proof that it does, and this is not helping their case today.That won’t stop the folks at The Guardian, though.For almost three decades, Australia’s gun…

A new and potentially serious flu variant is currently spreading. A mutated strain of influenza A, H3N2 subclade K, is surging worldwide, sparking concern about a severe flu season in the United States. This new variant has already caused a surge in infections in Japan, which declared an influenza epidemic after experiencing an unusually early and harsh flu season, Dr. Robert Hopkins Jr., medical director of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, told TODAY.com. “Knowing that there’s a new mutated strain out there and H3N2 generally causes more severe disease is concerning,” says Hopkins. The variant has also been circulating…

The effort by several gun-rights groups to persuade New Jersey cities to voluntarily drop the excessively high concealed-carry permit fees imposed by the state continues to show success. On December 8, we reported that Howell, in Monmouth County, had become the twelfth municipality in New Jersey to refund all or substantially all the fees required to obtain a permit to carry. On December 10, Toms River city councilors voted to waive the fee, making that community the 13th to do so voluntarily. Toms River, the second largest municipality in Ocean County and largest to pass a fee nullification resolution, joined…

We know next to nothing about the suspect in the shooting at Brown University on Saturday that resulted in two people being killed and nine others injured, but that lack of information isn’t stopping gun control advocates from demanding changes to our laws.  USC women’s basketball coach Lindsay Gottlieb, who graduated from Brown, was quick to pin the blame for the shooting on the inanimate object that was used, rather than the person who pulled the trigger. “It’s the guns,” Gottlieb said as she began a post-game news conference at the Ivy League school. “It doesn’t…

After almost 21 years in the Air Force, Jeff Andrejcik was looking forward to retiring from military life, embarking on a fruitful career in the civilian world. Andrejcik’s service time included multiple deployments, highlighted by three combat tours in Iraq and the United Arab Emirates. The Air Force veteran served in several roles and had built a solid resume, landing a job with the federal government and moving his family to a base in Florida for a position he had worked years to acquire. Then came the gut punch.  President Donald Trump’s swift and indiscriminate overhaul of the federal workforce earlier this…
