If you are preparing for military service that involves intense physical training, you will want to be a cardio machine. Here are three standard methods of movement in the military: running, rucking and swimming. Depending on your job and branch of service, you may need to prepare only for running and rucking, but swimming is also used in some jobs and makes for a great non-impact cardio activity regardless.The following workouts are more about building aerobic and anaerobic systems for longer-distance movement than for shorter-distance timed events, such as fitness tests — though you will see longer-distance runs, rucks, and…

After a volunteer “peacekeeper” shot and killed an innocent bystander at a No Kings protest in Utah earlier this year, a pair of Democrat lawmakers are hoping to use the incident to make some changes to the state’s self-defense statutes.  State Sen. Kathleen Riebe and State Rep. Rep. Verona Mauga are offering up legislation that they say would prevent a repeat of the shooting this past summer, which eventually led to Matthew Scott Alder being charged with manslaughter in the shooting death of protest attendee Arthur “Afa” Folasa Ah Loo. Alder said he fired his weapon…

The term “gun lobby,” at least here in the US, tends to be thrown around more as a pejorative than anything else. It’s nothing but a way to pretend that the only people who really care about our gun rights are the people who stand to profit from guns. Never mind that guns don’t just magically appear in people’s homes with a non-voluntary deduction from their bank accounts. People make the choice to buy them, and those people are often folks who value their right to keep and bear arms.In Australia, it looks as if…

While the Trump Administration has said it would protect the Second Amendment and even recently created a Second Amendment Rights Section within the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, it continues to fight to save the NFA’s registration power now that the $200 tax is gone. And that staunch defense of what is arguably unconstitutional, since the tax law no longer has a tax attached, is drawing the ire of many in the gun-rights community. “In a stunning, ultimate betrayal of the Second Amendment, the Department of Justice responded to GOA’s One, Big, Beautiful lawsuit with a new attack on…

As my bird dogs and I neared the end of a cat tail slough, I watched two roosters flush wild 80 yards ahead of us, out of range. I grimaced, felt my lower lip crack, and tasted blood as a 40 mph gust ripped across my face. Yet another wasted effort. It had been a brutal week in South Dakota, with waist-deep snow covered in an inch of ice, temperatures approaching -20, and birds scooting across the icy landscape ahead of us. We were trying to keep up, but it was impossible. Every step sent me and the dogs plummeting…

This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog.  Hundreds of millions of people all over the Western world are enjoying the holiday season as if nothing has changed.  But meanwhile, the pounding of the war drums just continues to intensify.  If the world keeps going down this path, next year’s holiday season could look completely different. Unfortunately, most people seem to assume that everything will magically work out just fine somehow.  That greatly frustrates me, because ignoring the reality of the crisis that we are facing is not going to fix anything.  If ordinary citizens…

For the last week, we’ve written a lot about Australia and Bondi Beach. There’s no doubt that what happened was beyond awful, and there’s no doubt that an anti-gun nation would simply double down on gun control, which is precisely what happened. Even before the bodies were cold, the government called for more gun control. No one really knew all that much about what happened, where the guns came from, or anything else, but the calls came just the same.It wasn’t much different from what it is here after some tragedy, only lawmakers there have…

I’m lucky enough to have spent a lot of time running suppressed handguns. Although they’re often extremely simplified on both television and video game mediums, one component that almost always gets left out is the suppressor piston (also known as a muzzle booster, booster piston, booster, piston assembly, or historically as a Nielsen device). This one is a fairly simple part of the real secret to making most pistol suppressors work reliably on recoil-operated firearms. Suppressor pistons handle the extra weight of the added suppressor, so your gun cycles without a fuss, leading to a probably frustrating experience. In this…

The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division (and its Second Amendment Section) have filed a brand new lawsuit against the District of Columbia’s Metropolitan Police Department over D.C.’s ban on so-called assault weapons, asserting that the prohibition runs afoul of the right to keep and bear arms.  The DOJ has previously argued against Illinois’ ban on a vast swath of semi-automatic rifles, shotguns, and even some pistols; participating in oral arguments before the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals earlier this year. Today’s lawsuit, however, is the first time that the DOJ has filed a complaint…
