Police in Seattle believe that the shooting at last weekend’s Bite of Seattle food festival was gang related, though most of those who were shot were just innocent bystanders. Washington has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country, including a ban on “large capacity” magazines, universal background checks, and prohibitions on anyone younger than 21 purchasing or possessing a handgun. Despite those laws, authorities say a 15-year-old is one of several suspects in the shooting… and right now, the only one who is in custody. Police believe three suspects were involved in a shooting…

Large numbers of fish are being cooked to death, unprecedented wildfires are ripping across the United States and…
Earlier this week, I wrote about the DSA and its stance on guns. While the current platform seems to suggest some kind of compromise on guns, where hunting and self-defense were seemingly respected, it was still completely unacceptable. Especially because socialism is the kind of ideology you can vote yourself into and have to shoot your way out of. The Second Amendment is the insurance policy for the Constitution, and since most of the rest of DSA’s platform is geared around upending the Constitution…well, you can see the issue.But the truth of the matter is…

Greece has approved a multibillion-dollar air defense purchase centered on Israeli technology, deepening a military partnership that has become increasingly important to both countries. The planned “Achilles’ Shield” will connect missiles, radars, sensors and command systems into a national defense network designed to counter aircraft, ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea said Friday it will deploy new long-range artillery systems this year that are capable of striking South Korea’s capital region and will commission its first naval destroyer in coming weeks. The announcement comes days after South Korea said North Korea’s newly revised constitution drops all references to Korean unification, in line with leader Kim Jong Un’s vows to terminate ties with South Korea and establish a two-state system on the Korean Peninsula. Kim visited a munitions factory Wednesday to inspect the production of 155-mm self-propelled gun-howitzers to be deployed at an artillery unit…

Jen Wilson, seated behind Bieron, filmed him on her phone and posted it to TikTok with the caption, “Scott Kelly, your resume was being reviewed at a Jonas Brothers concert tonight. Good luck.”…

Microstamping promises a neat crime-solving shortcut: fired brass that points police back to a specific gun. But once you look at the technology, the failures, the costs, and California’s history, this “simple fix” starts looking a lot more complicated. Microstamping is a technology that supposedly makes tracing brass at a crime scene easier by imprinting a set of characters that can be traced back to the individual gun. It’s become something of an anathema to the Second Amendment crowd. Do we know what it is, and do we know if it even works? Or is it just another way for…
The Institute for Primary Facts just opened the Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room, a library putting on public display more than 3.5 million pages of the Epstein files. Inside the New York installation, the Epstein files are no longer just another batch of documents floating through search results, social media posts, congressional hearings and half-remembered headlines. They are printed, bound and shelved. The archive takes up physical space, which is exactly the point. The reading room, located in New York City’s Tribeca neighborhood, compiles the Epstein-related records released by the Department of Justice into thousands of…
