Chicago pretty much dictates politics for the rest of the state. That means Illinois’s anti-gun bent isn’t because of most of the rest of the state, but because people in the Windy City want gun restrictions. And, of course, they don’t work.But as you already know from the headline, this is a bit of a weird story. It’s not a shocking one, though, because nothing about this is truly surprising, overall. That’s probably the only surprising thing about it.The father of a rapper whose album release party was the setting of a River North mass…

As we reported earlier today, a group of Democratic attorneys general who were seeking an injunction halting the ATF’s return of some forced reset triggers to their rightful owners had a very bad day in court this week, with the U.S. District Court judge overseeing the case essentially telling the anti-gunners they didn’t have a case. New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and his colleagues must have seen the writing on the wall, based on the motion they submitted after Wednesday’s hearing. HILARIOUS: Two days after a hearing that went extremely poorly for them, the anti-gun states…

The vast majority of us are familiar with America’s National Parks. But what about the National Seashores? In short, national seashores are a part of the National Park Service (NPS) but have a different designation — like a national monument or national forest. Federally appointed by Congress as coastal areas that are of natural and recreational significance, national seashores focus on the preservation of a coastline’s natural values, while also providing water-oriented recreation and education. So, what makes National Seashores special? These coastal areas have rich, biodiverse environments that are critical to protecting coastal communities and ecosystems from extreme weather.…

The World Health Organization has warned of a possible “biological risk” after Sudanese fighters took over the National Public Health Laboratory in the capital Khartoum. Violent clashes erupted between the Sudanese military and the Rapid Support Forces, the paramilitary group battling the army over who gets to control the masses, in the northern part of Khartoum state. Many foreign nations made efforts for rapid evacuation of people from the country as violence marred a fragile United States-brokered ceasefire. Gunfire and the roar of fighter jets were heard in Khartoum on Tuesday, half a day after the announcement of a 72-hour truce…
The term “mass shooting” is one popular phrase for describing a certain kind of incident, but another term often used is “active shooter incident.” And we’ve been hearing all about just how many such shootings there have been, with numbers muddied by overly broad definitions that include things that shouldn’t be included. That’s just for mass shootings, though. Gang shootings tend not to be lumped in with active shooter cases, and for good reason. They’re not remotely the same. And it seems such shootings decreased in 2022. Active shooter incidents in the United States in 2022 decreased, while the number…
Hearing protection often goes through the same incremental improvement process that firearms gear and ammunition do.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — An Iranian court issued a $312.9 million judgment against the United States over a 2017 Islamic State-claimed attack on Tehran, authorities said Wednesday, the latest judicial action between the nations amid their decadeslong enmity. Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency, in reporting the decision, offered no direct evidence to support the court’s allegation that American officials had any part in the June 2017 attack that killed at least 18 people and wounded 50 others. The assault saw gunmen attack Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s mausoleum and the country’s parliament, starting an hourslong siege. However, the court ruling comes…
To understand the new politics stance and other pro nationals of recent times, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement of the latest generation. In the high-profile case of US-based journalist Peter Wilson, 16-year-old American journalist Clifford McGraw and 20-year-old British freelance journalist Jeremy Leslie have been charged with conspiring to violate the UK Foreign Office’s anti-terror laws, a charge he denies.
