A few years ago, it seemed like a week didn’t go by when I didn’t write about someone in the gun industry being deplatformed by their bank. This was an incredibly common occurrence, spurred on by New York state officials’ hostility toward the right to keep and bear arms. Since New York City is the financial capital of the world, those officials seemed to scare bankers into playing ball. But that was then, this is now. Since then, major steps have been undertaken to try to prevent that from happening.Unfortunately, we now know that Capital…

Seventy-five years after a U.S. Air Force transport plane disappeared over the Yukon with 44 people aboard, a team of volunteers and investigators plans to use artificial intelligence and satellite technology to find it. The Douglas C-54 Skymaster departed Elmendorf Air Force Base on January 26, 1950, carrying 42 service members and Joyce Espe, a pregnant military wife traveling with her toddler son for medical care. Two hours into the flight, the crew radioed that ice was forming on the wings, but conditions were otherwise normal. The plane never made its next check-in and vanished without a trace. After an…

With both sunny summer days and Memorial Day on the horizon, Team RWB (Red, White, and Blue) has come up with a plan to get people moving while honoring soldiers lost in battle. On May 1, the nonprofit organization launched “Memorial Minutes,” a fitness initiative challenging Americans to move 40 minutes every day through Memorial Day, paying homage to fallen service members. Team RWB’s goal is to rack up 1.3 million minutes, logging one minute for every soldier killed in action over the last 250 years, culminating with the United States’ milestone anniversary. Participants can take part in several activities,…

Fourteen soldiers from the 7th Army Training Command represented the Americans who liberated one of the worst Nazi concentration camps at a ceremony in Austria on May 10. The troops, assigned to the Joint Multinational Readiness Center’s 1st Battalion, 4th Infantry Regiment, provided the color and honor guards for the Mauthausen Memorial’s annual International Liberation and Commemoration Ceremony, according to the U.S. Army. JMRC troops have filled that role for three straight years. U.S. Marines from the American Embassy in Vienna also joined the formation. “Each of us here, every country represented, must use courage and clear vision to defend…

Canada has cracked down extensively on guns in recent years, as we all have probably noticed. On Thursday, I wrote about all the gun control laws that completely and totally failed to stop the shooting, but I missed one. It seems they have their own version of a red flag law on the books. That’s not really surprising, since they don’t see gun rights as actual rights anyway, but it appears that the killer in the Tumbler Ridge shooting had been “red-flagged.”And he got his guns back, which the police up there are now trying…
February 14, 1929, remains one of the bloodiest days in American crime history. Seven men lined up against a wall. Four men dressed as police officers. Two Thompson submachine guns, unleashing hell in a North Clark Street garage in Chicago. The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre shocked the nation and came to symbolize the savage violence of Prohibition-era gang warfare. What most people don’t know is that the guns used in America’s most notorious gangland slaying weren’t found in Chicago. They were discovered ten months later in a quiet Michigan town, following a traffic accident that would ultimately crack open the…
