The gun control lobby has spent a lot of time and money over the past few years trying to reinvent itself (at least in the eyes of the public) as a gun safety movement. They claim to just want “responsible gun ownership,” but their efforts make it harder be a lawful, responsible gun owner. In addition to banning commonly owned arms, the anti-gun movement pushes for laws that make exercising your right to bear arms an expensive and time-consuming process wrought with legal danger and subject to permission by the State. Then there are the constant attacks…
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) on Wednesday announced a new task force for the U.S. military’s first one-way-attack drone squadron based in the Middle East, as part of the Defense Department’s wide-ranging push to accelerate domestic drone acquisition and implementation.The launch of the Task Force Scorpion Strike (TFSS) is designed to attain low-cost and effective drones and field them to warfighters, following Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s directive earlier this year to boost affordable drone technology. A squadron of Low-cost Unmanned Combat Attack System (LUCAS) drones are already based in the Middle East.“This new task force sets the conditions for using innovation…
Congress may soon vote on national concealed carry reciprocity. If passed, the law would require all states to recognize carry permits and, in some cases, permitless carry from every other state. Here’s what that means under the current legal landscape. How Reciprocity Works Today “Concealed carry reciprocity” refers to whether one state recognizes carry permits issued by another. The rules vary widely: Some states recognize permits from every state. Others only recognize permits from states with similar requirements, such as fingerprinting, background checks, age limits, or live-fire qualifications. At least 10 states, including California, New York, and Oregon, refuse to…
The nostalgia is strong with this one. Star Wars fans may love to complain about Disney’s direction of the sci-fi franchise, but a new gear collection from Columbia proves that this fandom still gets the coolest stuff. Columbia has been putting out limited-edition Star Wars capsules for several years. It would be easy for the brand to just slap some Rebel Alliance logos on a jacket and call it a day. Instead, Columbia’s designers have tried to channel their own force powers and make something creative each year. They’ve put out ski gear inspired by Rogue Squadron jumpsuits, Darth Vader…
A lot of people are displeased with the Department of Justice. They see mixed signals from an administration that vowed to be strong on gun rights. They see them because they’re present. The DOJ will defend gun rights one day, and oppose them the next. It’s kind of causing a certain degree of whiplash. But as I noted on Tuesday at the above link, purity was probably never going to happen.For what it’s worth, though, Larry Keane of the NSSF is pretty happy with what’s happening overall.President Donald Trump signed his Presidential Executive Order Protecting…
Certain military retirees who buy dental insurance through the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) must choose a new plan for 2026 or be dropped from their dental coverage.FEDVIP allows military retirees to purchase dental coverage and active-duty families, and those enrolled in Tricare Reserve Select, to purchase vision coverage.

If … you wish to keep your FEDVIP dental coverage in…
Earlier today Tom Knighton covered the not-so-great news about the number of NICS checks performed on firearm transfers during Thanksgiving week, which were down about 13% compared to last year. One state that bucked the trend, though, is Virginia. The National Shooting Sports Foundation reports the state was among the top five across the country for both NICS checks in general and NICS checks on the transfer of long guns; a surge NSSF’s Mark Oliva attributes to concerns about a sweeping semi-auto ban coming as soon as the Democrats take complete control of state government…
The United States ruling class just announced that it will soon start bombing Venezuela’s land mass. The U.S. military has conducted a number of deadly attacks on boats it claims were linked to Venezuelan-led narcotics smuggling. These attacks amounted to war crimes. But now the “land strikes” announced by Trump will surely be seen as an act of war. U.S. ruler Donald Trump said that the military would soon start bombing alleged drug cartel targets on land. He made the comment to reporters in a cabinet meeting on Tuesday. The announcement comes amid a massive US military buildup in the…
In another edition of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing, at the same time the U.S. Department of Justice is arguing to limit the ruling on post office carry, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has published a proposed rule that would make it easier to transport National Firearms Act (NFA) items across state lines. Under current federal law, a gun owner must fill out an ATF Form 5320.20, Application to Transport Interstate or to Temporarily Export Certain National Firearms Act (NFA) Firearms (Form 20) in advance of the travel dates. It…
To understand the new politics stance and other pro nationals of recent times, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement of the latest generation. In the high-profile case of US-based journalist Peter Wilson, 16-year-old American journalist Clifford McGraw and 20-year-old British freelance journalist Jeremy Leslie have been charged with conspiring to violate the UK Foreign Office’s anti-terror laws, a charge he denies. On Monday, UK attorney Andy McDonald revealed that he had spoken. “Few worry about catching Covid anymore, as it’s just a matter of time before they do,” says Tea, a teacher at a school for…

To understand the new smart watched and other pro devices of recent focus, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement. Apple’s Watch records exercise, tracks our moves throughout the day, checks the amount of time we are stood up and reminds us to get up and move around if we have been sat for too long – let’s not forget Tim Cooks “sitting is the new coolness” line. What we like: Angled second screen is quite useful.Durability is top notch.Better dual-screen software.Powerful hardware features. What we dislike: Less battery life than other options.Keyboard and trackpad are flimsy.No…
