I’ll be honest. I didn’t realize that Nancy Sinatra was still with us, but at the ripe old age of 86 the songstress is alive and well and sharing hot takes on social media. Sinatra received a lot of responses after expressing her desire to “eliminate all guns” in a post responding to another pro-gun control X user. Eliminate the guns. The founding fathers did not know about automatic weapons. https://t.co/37E5dQp1jm— Nancy Sinatra (@NancySinatra) July 27, 2026No, the Founding Fathers didn’t know about automatic weapons. They also didn’t know about the Internet, social media, or smartphones.…
Open-world RPGs usually occupy a conflicted spot, having to balance the freedom to go almost anywhere with gripping character-driven narratives that keep players hooked and dedicated to their overarching goal. While it’s not unusual for such games to lean more heavily toward one aspect, like Elden Ring trading classic storytelling for something more subtle, there are also great open-world role-playing games that walk the perfect line between these core pillars. That said, certain studios have become all but synonymous with superb stories placed into vast worlds driven by freedom and curiosity, CD Projekt Red in particular. By mastering the narrative…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream under the title: On August 12th We Will Witness A Total Solar Eclipse, A Rare Parade Of 6 Planets, And The Peak Of The Perseid Meteor Shower It is not often that we get to experience three major celestial events on the exact same day. On August 12th, a rare parade of 6 planets will be visible before sunrise. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn, and Neptune will all be lined up across the morning sky. The only planet that we will not get to see…
As we’ve noted since we started talking about the shooting this past weekend in Seattle, Washington state has embraced a ton of gun control laws in the last handful of years. Everytown ranks it in its top 10 states for gun laws, and none of that has seemed to matter one bit. This is important because, as we’ve also seen, officials were pretty quick to try and make it about the gun. Honestly, they shouldn’t have done that.After all, among the many anti-gun measures passed in the state is one banning privately made firearms, also…
The Navy is asking industry whether RVs, houseboats and temporary workforce camps could help cover a housing shortage that may approach 12,000 beds as barracks across the country undergo repairs, renovations and possible privatization. A July 24 request for information from Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command seeks “safe, habitable, code-compliant” temporary accommodations at 10 Navy locations. The service is considering conventional options such as apartments, hotels and modular buildings, along with containerized housing units, trailer parks, converted facilities and houseboats where local conditions allow. The request does not mean sailors will soon receive orders to report to a marina. The…
The federal government has issued guidance to veterans to help them avoid scammers who target recipients of benefit schemes. In a memo posted by the Federal Trade Commission, the agency warned veterans against those posing as staff from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to seize veterans’ money and data and provided them with go-to red flags to ascertain real VA staffers from scammers. “Scammers know that applying for veterans benefits is at the top of the to-do list when you’re getting ready to leave the military,” said the memo, published on Monday. “That’s why they pretend to be with…
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is “fomenting hate” after calling for the Israeli ruler’s arrest. Mamdani has described Israel’s military campaign against Palestine as genocide and called the Israeli prime minister a “war criminal.” The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in November 2024 over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in the enclave, including “starvation as a method of warfare” and “other inhumane acts.” Obviously, neither has been arrested, and Netanyahu and Gallant are still out committing the crimes they’ve been accused of.…
Oregon voters will not decide this November whether hunting, fishing, and many common agricultural practices should be treated as animal cruelty. The Oregon Elections Division announced that Initiative Petition 28 failed to collect enough valid signatures to qualify for the November 3 general election ballot. The campaign needed 117,173 valid signatures. State officials determined that 104,262 of the signatures submitted were valid, leaving the measure nearly 13,000 signatures short. What Initiative Petition 28 Would Have Done Black bear sow and cub; (photo/Shutterstock) Known as the People for the Elimination of Animal Cruelty Exemptions Act, or PEACE Act, the proposal would…
Last week on Bearing Arms’ Cam & Company I talked with firearms instructor Jackie Emslie about the 15th annual training event for women hosted by Legally Armed In Detroit, and I’m pleased to report that the event was a huge success. Founded by longtime Second Amendment advocate Rick Ector, the event has grown from about 100 women in its first year to more than 2,000 participants, most of whom have had little to no formal experience with firearms. The event, held at Recoil Firearms in Taylor, drew lines wrapped around the building as women of all experience…
While much of the 2A world has been focused on New Jersey’s assault weapon ban taking a major legal hit, Washington Gun Law President William Kirk says two more bans in the same federal appeals court may not be far behind. In a new video, Kirk explains why he believes assault weapon bans in Delaware and the U.S. Virgin Islands are now on shaky legal ground following the Third Circuit’s recent decision in Cheeseman v. Platkin (also referred to as ANJRPC v. Platkin). According to Kirk, the spotlight should especially be on the U.S. Virgin Islands, where the U.S. Department…
Enlisting in the military is one of the biggest decisions you will make in your life, and the best choice depends on your personal career goals. Are you looking for a specific job? Do you want a physical challenge? What lifestyle do you want to live? Do you want to travel? Do you want to get your college degree? The answer to these questions may help you begin the process of choosing which branch of the military to join. Before you begin reading, I will tell you that I am a retired U.S. Air Force Major, who began military life…
National reciprocity, at a minimum, needs to happen. People with a driver’s license from Florida can drive in all 50 states and every US territory without a problem, even though driving is considered a privilege, not a right. Meanwhile, California can ignore a permit from Georgia without repercussions. It’s stupid. It’s always been stupid.And honestly, the arguments made against national reciprocity have always been remarkably stupid.And John Lott has already debunked many of them.As Lott explained, last year, when House Judiciary Committee passed national reciprocity along party lines, Democrats also opposed legislation that would have allowed…
Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. Police in Gastonia, North Carolina, say a man was shot last week while allegedly trying to kick his way into a disabled 75-year-old homeowner’s house. Instead of admitting what happened, investigators say he and his girlfriend drove to a nearby gas station and claimed he’d been wounded in a random drive-by shooting. According to reports from WCNC and WBTV, that story unraveled quickly. The homeowner, Donald Bolynn, told reporters he’d already been targeted once before. So when he heard someone trying to force their way into his Ware Avenue home again, he wasn’t…
Whether you’re being deployed or will be at home for some time, maintaining your car is important. One of the most important aspects of car maintenance goes beyond changing its oil or rotating the tires; It also includes recognizing signs of trouble early. This means paying attention to unusual noises, dashboard warning lights, and the way your car drives. If you ignore these issues, they won’t go away and will likely get worse, especially if your car often sits in a garage or on base while you’re gone. Small leaks can turn into big ones over time and worn parts…
The circuit court split over young adults and their Second Amendment rights could deepen now that a federal judge in Connecticut has upheld the state and federal laws that prevent adults under the age of 21 from purchasing, possessing, and carrying a handgun. Zachary Succow and Samuel Towne, along with Connecticut Citizens Defense League and Second Amendment Foundation, filed their complaint against Attorney General Todd Blanche and a host of Connecticut officials last May, and Judge Sarala V. Nagala held a two-day bench trial, followed by post-trial briefing and oral argument earlier this year. After hearing…
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) is pushing back against calls for more gun control following Sunday’s deadly shooting at Seattle Center, arguing the tragedy underscores a crime problem rather than a gun problem. In a statement released Monday, CCRKBA Executive Director Andrew Gottlieb criticized Seattle officials for repeatedly referring to the incident as “gun violence” while failing to focus on the alleged criminal behavior behind the attack. “It took 17 hours for police to acknowledge the suspect they had in custody is only 15 years old,” Gottlieb said. “And then Seattle Police Chief…
Despite both genres being individually well-represented, open-world RPGs aren’t actually all that common, so we need to cherish each one of them. Everybody knows Skyrim and The Witcher 3, or even modern greats like Crimson Desert, but the same cannot be said for every game. In fact, a few true gems have been largely forgotten by time, remembered only by select die-hard fans and referenced solely in these types of articles. Let’s change that. If you find yourself staring at your video game library, unsure what to play, then these forgotten open-world RPGs could bring a spark back into your…
B&T USA is making a big investment in its American manufacturing footprint, and the company says customers should start seeing the benefits almost immediately. The firearms and suppressor manufacturer announced this week that it has significantly expanded its production facility in Herriman, Utah, transforming what was a small operation into a full-scale manufacturing hub in less than a year. The numbers tell the story. When B&T USA began upgrading the 88,000-square-foot facility in late 2025, the operation consisted of just three employees, two industrial 3-D printers and a single CNC machine. Today, the Utah location employs more than 55 people…
