Perhaps my favorite fiction author is Larry Correia. His Monster Hunter International series is incredible, though the Grimnoir series is my favorite. He’s done others, and one that I think a lot of people sleep on is the novel he did with John D. Brown called “Gun Runner.” It’s a science fiction work that, frankly, I enjoyed so much. While I’m hoping we get a second book there, it seems there’s something else in the works in that universe.A Kickstarter for a graphic novel version of the book.The 2021 Dragon Award-winning military science fiction novel…
Gun owners (or most of them, anyway) are rightfully delighted with U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix’s decision that much of the National Firearms Act has been rendered moot now that the making and transfer taxes on suppressors, short-barreled firearms, and “any other weapons” have been zeroed out by Congress in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. As Reason’s Jacob Sullum writes in his latest syndicated column, though, even folks who have no plans to purchase a suppressor or short-barreled rifle in the future should be pleased by how Hendrix reached his decision. Hendrix didn’t decide…
More than 100,000 surplus M14 rifles once used by the U.S. military are expected to go on sale to the public beginning early next year through the Civilian Marksmanship Program. The organization is a federally chartered nonprofit that plans to sell the guns. CMP CEO and board Chairman Jerry O’Keefe said the organization is targeting a price below $2,000 per rifle, though final pricing has not yet been announced.” Every buyer is limited to two weapons apiece, and sales are expected in January. The CMP could reconsider this limit as sales go on. CMP CEO and board Chairman Jerry O’Keefe…
I keep trying to keep myself calm regarding the court’s decision on the NFA registry requirement for suppressors and short-barreled long guns. I want it to mean the end of the NFA requirements entirely, and while they’re gone for now, there’s no guarantee they won’t return down the road. I want to temper my expectations. Still gonna SBR my home defense rifle and put a can on it, though.However, it’s always possible that an appeal will come.That’s not stopping Giffords from absolutely losing its mind over it.Trump’s Justice Department just failed to defend nearly 100…
The strongest connection we make with our cars often stems from spending hours with them, whether behind the wheel, washing them, or wrenching on them. A project car often requires lots of time from its owner, but some enthusiasts like to make it a little harder on themselves, and to that we say, right on. If you’re looking for a different type of project car, building a vehicle from a kit could be an option. There are dozens of companies offering iconic cars available as complete vehicles, or as “rolling chassis,” which require a little more effort than just plucking…
Military food may not be the first issue people think about when they talk about readiness. Robert Irvine thinks that’s a mistake. The celebrity chef says how America feeds its troops affects far more than morale, touching readiness, retention, military families and even long-term health. This is my fight, and it’s the most important thing I do in my life. In an exclusive interview with Military.com, Irvine spoke passionately about what he sees as one of the military’s most overlooked quality-of-life challenges: how America fuels the men and women it asks to serve. And for soldiers at installations like Fort…
While electric vehicles are getting more versatile and more realistic daily driver propositions by the year as manufacturers continually develop them, used examples that have seen their value drop considerably are generally still best suited for the city. Their limited ranges aren’t such a handicap when you’re spending most of your time threading between traffic and through tight city streets, while trips tend to last only ten or twenty miles as opposed to north of 200. Their instant torque and lack of a conventional gearbox also make driving in cities more straightforward and less frustrating than a normal car most…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. Asian and European equities climbed on Monday, while U.S. equity futures jumped and Brent crude fell, as signs of a possible U.S.-Iran deal boosted risk appetite. To note, the U.S. is on holiday. Both sides appear to be moving closer to ending the three-month conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. However, overnight comments from senior Iranian officials suggest gaps remain, particularly over the future of Iran’s nuclear program and uranium enrichment. “It is true that a consensus was reached on many of the topics discussed, but no one can…
A deadly shooting involving military police officers at Fort Hood over Memorial Day weekend has triggered a major Army criminal investigation and renewed scrutiny over security, use of force, and violence at one of the military’s most historically troubled installations. The shooting occurred on the night of Saturday, May 23, at the Belton Lake Outdoor Recreation Area (BLORA) near Fort Hood in Texas. According to the Army, two military police officers responded around 9 p.m. after reports of a large fight broke out at the recreation area during a crowded gathering. Officials said multiple gunshots were fired during the confrontation.…
A LEGO fan took to social media to show off an impressive build of a Big Daddy from the BioShock series, which they made following a MOC from another builder. The LEGO BioShock creator also made a mini-figure of Jack, the main protagonist from the first game, to go alongside the Big Daddy figure they created. In short, a MOC build stands for “My Own Creation,” a term for LEGO builds made without following a specific blueprint or plan. MOC builds allow LEGO fans to craft some builds using pieces from multiple sets and putting them together to create a…
Of all the iconic IPs out there, it’s surprising how up and down the popularity of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings has been. There is the incomparable movie trilogy directed by Peter Jackson, the decent but overstuffed Hobbit movie trilogy, and The Rings of Power TV show, which gets more hate than it deserves. Then there are the video games based on The Lord of the Rings, which are also a mixed bag. While The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is the most recent disaster, there are still plenty of great Lord of the Rings games to play…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Monday that any agreement with Iran should include a requirement for several additional countries, including Saudi Arabia and Turkey, to join the Abraham Accords, the U.S.-brokered agreements from Trump’s first term aimed at normalizing relations with Israel. In a social media post, Trump said negotiations are “proceeding nicely” but tied any eventual agreement to expanded participation in the 2020 accords. He pointed to Saudi Arabia and Qatar as countries that should “immediately” sign on, quickly followed by Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Jordan. Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates became the first countries to…
JERUSALEM (AP) — The deal being discussed between the U.S. and Iran fails to achieve any of Israel’s goals for the war, Israel’s opposition leader Yair Lapid said on Monday, as he accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of failing to influence a better agreement. Lapid, who is part of an alliance attempting to unseat Netanyahu in elections this year, said details of the emerging deal are “disturbing.” “The deal is bad for Israel, bad for the region, bad for the citizens of Iran,” Lapid told reporters in Jerusalem. Israel and the U.S. launched the war on Feb. 28 vowing to…
The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) is expanding rapidly. There are now over 900 suspected cases, as violence and displacement make it more difficult for health care officials to contain the outbreak. Out of the 900 suspected cases, 101 infections have been confirmed so far, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Kinshasa declared the epidemic on May 15, marking the country’s 17th recorded Ebola crisis since the virus was first identified there in 1976. Two days later, the WHO classified the Bundibugyo strain detected in the DR Congo and neighboring Uganda as a public…
There is a long list of James Bond adaptations out there, and 007 First Light is next in line to tell a new chapter in the beloved spy’s life. This time around, 007 First Light seeks to show a different side of Bond. Instead of a highly skilled and veteran MI6 agent, this version of the character is a rookie who is working his way up in the ranks to finally secure that coveted 00 status. Ian Fleming’s iconic character has been around for 73 years now, and there have been plenty of unique iterations in those seven decades. Between…
