Vortex surprised me. At roughly $200, the Venom Enclosed Emitter delivers significant value, featuring a sealed LED emitter, modern design elements, and broad mounting compatibility, all in a lightweight package. I ran it through a battery of drills and live-fire testing; here’s what I found. Key specs (from testing) Weight: ~1.75 oz Dot options: 3 MOA or 6 MOA Battery: side-mounted (no need to remove sight to change battery) Brightness: 10 daylight settings + 2 NV settings Footprint: DeltaPoint Pro (mates to Glock, S&W CORE with plates; direct-mounts like Shadow Systems and Ruger RXM) Why the enclosed emitter matters I’m…
When Chef Tee Cozy lines up for the Chicago Marathon on Oct. 12, 2025, it’ll be the 11th time the head chef from Cozy Noodles n’ Rice, a Thai restaurant in Wrigleyville, Ill., has run the race. If there’s one thing apparent in the opening scenes of this new short film — the debut in the new PACE SETTERS series by iRunFar in partnership with HOKA — it’s that Chef Tee, who moved to Chicago from Thailand in 1996, loves his city. He also loves running. And he brings that same sense of love to all he does. [Editor’s Note: If you are unable to see the…
The gun control lobby spends almost as much time and energy trying to convince the public that they’re just interested in “reasonable, common sense” measures as it does trying to restrict our right to keep and bear arms. So I wasn’t exactly shocked to see Brady head Kris Brown declare this past week that “Brady is not opposed to the idea of restoring gun rights in principle,” but I was curious to see the fine print attached to that statement. Brown’s comment came in a Substack post devoted to the DOJ’s proposed rule on re-establishing…
This article was originally published by John W. Whitehead and Nisha Whitehead at The Rutherford Institute. “When they came in the middle of the night, they terrorized the families that were living there. There were children who were without clothing, they were zip tied, taken outside at 3 o’clock in the morning. A senior resident, an American citizen with no warrants, was taken outside and handcuffed for three hours. Doors were blown off their hinges, walls were broken through, immigration agents coming from Black Hawk helicopters … This is America.”—Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson When the government can label anyone or anything an enemy in order…
At 9,200 feet in the Colorado Rockies, the U.S. Army built Camp Hale in 1942 to train a new kind of soldier. The 10th Mountain Division was created to fight in snow, ice, and high-altitude terrain that had hampered armies for centuries. Its formation was the result of a civilian campaign led by Charles Minot “Minnie” Dole, the founder of the National Ski Patrol, who convinced Army leaders that the United States needed a force capable of operating in extreme cold-weather conditions.Over the next two years, thousands of men learned to ski, climb, and survive at Hale, developing tactics and equipment…
The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have filed a petition for en banc review with the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, seeking full court reconsideration of their ongoing lawsuit against New Jersey’s sweeping “sensitive places” gun-carry restrictions. The case, Koons v. Attorney General of New Jersey, challenges the state’s post-Bruen legislation, which designates an extensive network of “sensitive places” where even licensed concealed carriers are prohibited from possessing firearms. Critics argue the law effectively nullifies the right to carry across much of the state. A Law Designed to Defy Bruen Following the Supreme Court’s 2022 New York State…
Is the bike going to explode? I didn’t know, but I was about to find out. In September, I was riding the Santa Cruz Bullit X0 AXS RSV electric mountain bike, and following Kurt Sorge, three-time Red Bull Rampage winner, into the new double-black feature — a 30-foot wall ride — on Obsidius trail at the RED Bike Park. I was curious to find out how the new Santa Cruz Bullit would handle such a large drop — I’d never hit one that big on an e-mountain bike. Zoning in, I followed Sorge’s speed and mimicked his pop onto the…
FN America has announced that they are opening a new second manufacturing facility in South Carolina. FN America, the US subsidiary of Belgium’s FN Herstal, has been in operation for more than four decades. Its current guise is the result of a merger of the two separate prior iterations, FN Manufacturing and FNH USA. Beyond the Belgian and American operations, the company maintains a UK branch as well. Today, FN America is headquartered in McLean, Virginia, and their manufacturing facility near Columbia, South Carolina primarily handles military arms, such as the M249 SAW and M240 machine guns. Now FN America…
Five months after hundreds of gallons of toxic fire suppressant spilled at the Navy’s Red Hill fuel facility, sparking outrage from state health officials and environmentalists, military officials have yet to release their investigation or video of the spill. At the same time, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s probe initiated in January into that incident, as well as other spills of the fire suppressant—called aqueous film forming foam, or AFFF—has resulted in little information being revealed publicly about the circumstances surrounding the incidents. On Nov. 29 an estimated 1, 300 gallons of concentrated AFFF spilled from a pipe at Red Hill, prompting a major environmental cleanup…

The blind straddled a big cottonwood grove, cedar-choked creek bottom on the left, harvested corn off to the right, and mature cottonwoods stretching ahead farther than I could see. Sundown was approaching when I picked up a hint of movement at the limit of my vision, far off among the trees. I focused my binocular on the spot and in a few seconds a buck stepped from behind a big, gray cottonwood.It was too far to count points, but the rack appeared tall enough, wide enough and heavy enough; even at first glance I was pretty sure this was a…
SAAMI, the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, has existed since 1913 with standardization of cartridge and chamber dimensions (and cartridge maximum pressures) as its primary focus. With hundreds of ammunition manufacturers and hundreds of barrel manufacturers, it’s critically important that a shared standard exists for everyone to follow. Now, SAAMI has weighed in on a standard for barrel threads. You know, the threads at the muzzle onto which one screws a muzzle device like a brake, compensator, flash hider, or silencer. As a firearm manufacturer myself (Black Collar Arms) and what you might call a “heavy user” of muzzle…
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is investigating the potential reasons for the spike in rare brain infections and abscesses in children. Cases of brain abscesses in children reportedly tripled last year in southern Nevada, and the CDC isn’t sure If COVID restriction could be to blame. Children are experiencing a debilitated immune function in the aftermath of the draconian COVID-19 scamdemic policies. Face masks and lockdowns have proved to be devastating to the immune system, but the CDC contends that they are not sure that that’s what causing rare brain infections in children in Nevada. Dr. Taryn…
WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, applauds U.S. Sen. Steve Daines’ introduction of S. 1185, the Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act, which would prohibit U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Forest Service (USFS) from banning the use of traditional lead ammunition and tackle absent approval by the applicable state fish and wildlife department and proof that lead ammunition and tackle is primarily causing wildlife population decline. The legislation has 24 Senate co-sponsors. .@JoeBiden and Senate Dems are determined to undermine our MT way of life.That’s why I’m reintroducing my bill to…
U.S. District Judge Stephen McGlynn’s decision to grant an injunction against Illinois’ ban on the sale of “assault weapons” and “large capacity” magazines has had an immediate impact since it was released late Friday afternoon. With the injunction in place, gun shops around the state were free to sell modern sporting rifles and magazines that had been off-limits to most gun owners since the ban was enacted back in January, and gun store owners reported big crowds throughout the weekend. When Roger Krahl, owner of RGuns in Carpentersville, heard about the injunction, he said the phones in his office lit up…
Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 49! COVID hit the firearms industry pretty hard but I think the most frustrating part about all of the shortages for me personally was the quick disappearance of primers and other reloading components. It didn’t take long into 2020 for me to quickly burn through nearly my entire inventory of reloading components and then I was left hunting at various local gun shows for overpriced trays of pistol primers. Long story short, I eventually gave up because it was much easier and far less expensive just to buy bulk ammo when I could find…

This article was originally published by Ethan Huff at Natural News under the title: Mobile Phone Data Shows That Post-Pandemic Cities Like San Francisco, Chicago, and Boston are MUCH Less Busy – Where Did The People Go? The downtowns of many American cities have become ghost towns, thanks to the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19). A new analysis shows that downtown activity in places like San Francisco, Chicago, and Boston has plummeted ever since the scamdemic – this is according to mobile phone data. According to data collected by the University of Toronto School of Cities, as of the fall of 2022, many major downtown population centers are much less…
Over the weekend, there was a horrific mass killing in Texas. If you spent much time on social media, you may have heard a little bit about it. It doesn’t count as a mass shooting because it was inside the home, but the nomenclature doesn’t really matter all that much. To those who cared about the victims, why would it? The latest about the killing: Five people are dead after being shot in a Texas home by a suspect armed with an AR-15 style rifle in a horrific series of “execution style” shootings, police said. A manhunt is currently underway…
