Bad political ideas like gun control behave a little bit like a virus. They start in one place, take hold, then spread out to infect other places. Yeah, the metaphor can break down after a certain point, especially if you’re an anti-gunner actively trying to break it, but you get what I’m saying. Bad ideas never stay in one place. Virginia lawmakers, who ran on things like affordability, have taken office and done really two things above all else: Raise taxes and restrict guns. Oh, and a gerrymandering attempt that’s so blatant that it laughable.We…
America’s national parks are beloved and receive hundreds of millions of visitors a year. While they certainly deserve all the attention they get, don’t forget that state parks can deliver a wow factor, too. And there are usually some cool ones within driving distance of the most popular national parks. If you’re headed to popular parks like Zion or Yosemite, fill out your itinerary with visits to the nearby state parks that have equally stunning trails and vistas. They’re also a great chance to escape the crowds, they’re typically cheaper to access, and some even allow dogs. We talked to…
The Department of Justice announced that a settlement agreement was met concerning censored online speech. The parties agreed that governmental agencies will not threaten social media companies in the future. Stemming from an executive order issued by President Trump, a settlement was reached in two cases concerning potential online censorship. The heart of the conflict was whether or not governmental agencies threatened social media companies in one manner or another to force them into censoring disfavored speech. The parties stipulated that the named governmental agencies would be barred from such threats. Considering the scores of…
Images by the author I wish I had invested in sights for AR-pattern rifles years ago… I could’ve retired all over. There is a vast ocean of sights, both iron and electronic, for the AR owner to choose from. I have reported on many of them over the years, especially those of the red dot variety, but there’s something special about “plain” iron back-up sights. If your optic fails at a critical moment, whatcha gonna do, to use the vernacular. If you have this set of sights, just flip them up, and you’re good to go. XS is a sight…
Braden Eric Peters, 20, the online “looksmaxxing” streamer known as Clavicular, was arrested Thursday in Fort Lauderdale on an Osceola County battery warrant tied to a February Airbnb fight. The arrest came the same week that Peters made headlines over a separate Everglades livestream that appeared to show repeated gunfire directed at an alligator. As of March 27, his Kick account also appeared to be unavailable, though no public explanation had been posted by the platform. Battery Charge Stems From February Airbnb Incident According to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded on February 2 to a reported battery at…
Our expert gear testers have been reviewing the best daypacks for more than a decade, hitting the trail to hone in on the perfect option for anyone. These packs have been taken from the desert slopes of the Sierra Nevada to the green forested mountains of the Pacific Northwest, and I’ve pulled together the winners from our travels. Our testing involved loading each pack up with typical gear for a day’s outing, hiking miles with each pack, and taking notes on each one. To choose the best of the best, I ranked each pack on quality, feedback from our testing,…
With Virginia gun owners under fire like never before and more than two dozen anti-gun measures recently passed by the legislature and forwarded to Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger for her consideration, a major gun-rights organization is speaking out against another proposal that would be devastating to gun owners. In a recent state alert to members in Virginia, Gun Owners of America (GOA) recently blew the whistle on a congressional redistricting scheme that could make things in the legislature even worse than they already are for those who support the Second Amendment. Virginia voters are being asked to approve a constitutional…
Many gun control groups have shifted their strategies over the past few years to appear more reasonable on the issue. Giffords, for instance, has an astroturf group of gun owners that supports all kinds of restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms, and Everytown for Gun Safety is now even offering online gun “training” that teaches the basics of gun safety along with a heaping dose of anti-gun rhetoric. Brady head honcho Kris Brown, on the other hand, is still hard at work to prevent gun ownership. At her Substack, Brown recently channeled…

Arms aching, shoulders straining, and knees screaming in agony, Jay Millard kept going. The former servicemember, who once tried to kill himself, knew he couldn’t stop. He had to keep crawling over the gravel, rocks, dirt and grass until he reached the summit of two of the highest points in the UK. For Millard, the pain was a small price to pay to honor all veterans who’ve died by suicide and to raise awareness of a growing problem in the UK. On hands and knees, Millard, who served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, conquered both Pen y Fan and Snowdon in Wales…
There’s a moment that happens in just about every concealed carry renewal class. Everyone shows up relaxed. They’ve been carrying for years. Nothing bad has happened. They assume they’re “good enough.” Then the first drill happens. Five yards. No timer. No pressure. Five careful shots. That’s when you see it on their faces. This isn’t what they expected. What happens when carrying a gun turns into a habit instead of a skill you actively maintain? After watching it play out repeatedly, a few patterns are impossible to ignore. The Guns People Carry and Why They’re Working Against Them The guns…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. China continues to signal, through overt public-facing propaganda, its readiness to challenge the U.S directly. Recent state media have published footage showing simulated naval conflict operations in the Caribbean, followed by the release of a video showcasing a hypersonic anti-ship missile capability. On Sunday, Chinese media outlet Global Times published a video on X featuring the YJ-20 hypersonic anti-ship missile. “An official Chinese media account, China Military Bugle, on Sunday unveiled the moment when a YJ-20 hypersonic anti-ship missile was launched from a Type 055 large destroyer of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA)…
One thing that annoys the hell out of me is the idea that fiction shouldn’t have moral white and black, but shades of gray. The idea that there aren’t really any good guys or bad guys is troubling. Sure, the truth is that everyone is flawed and I have no problem seeing that reflected in fictional characters, but we still need to see heroes and heroines on the big screen, the small screen, the printed page, and the video display of our computer or from our gaming console. We, as a society, need heroes. We…
