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…
PHOENIX (AP) — All eyes were on Navajo Code Talker Thomas H. Begay. The 101-year-old veteran saluted while the national anthem played on Friday, kicking off a day of recognition honoring him and the other Navajo recruits who famously used their native language to keep military secrets during World War II. Begay, one of the last two living Code Talkers, made the long trip from his home on the Navajo Nation to the Arizona State Capitol for the event. He was joined by family members and dozens of descendants of other Code Talkers. “I am so damn proud,” said Begay,…

The United States once planned to drop more than 1,000 bomb-carrying bats over Japanese cities. A psychologist taught pigeons to guide missiles. Cold War troops were issued a recoilless weapon capable of launching a nuclear warhead. British engineers built a giant pair of rocket-powered wheels stuffed with explosives and expected the contraption to drive itself up a beach. These weren’t concepts that lived only on paper. Every weapon on this list reached at least the prototype or testing stage. Several entered military service, and some were used in combat. Here are 15 of the strangest weapons military engineers actually built.…

There was a time when completing a 100-mile hike would have been unfathomable for Army veteran John Filipkowski. After all, it took years to recover from the blast. Filipkowski, a Special Forces soldier, was serving in Afghanistan when an IED tore through his vehicle, flinging his body airborne and causing a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Physically, his body was so damaged that he was confined to a wheelchair, eventually using a cane for mobility. Mentally, the post-traumatic stress the former sergeant first class suffered from 11 deployments handcuffed him with anxiety and depression. Yet, there he was, along with a…

The Tumbler Ridge shooting was pretty terrible, but it also exposed the flaws in Canada’s gun control scheme. While everyone up that way seems to want to pat themselves on the back for responding as they did to the Nova Scotia shooting in 2020, Tumbler Ridge made it clear that you can’t just legislate away death and destruction. Hell, the shooter had even been red-flagged, and still was able to carry out the attack.Now, gun grabbers in the Great White North are demanding information on what kind of guns were used in the attack, though…
The stage is set, the arena is built, and the athletes are “juiced to the gills,” as swimmer James Magnussen put it. The competitors have spent months loading up on anabolic steroids, testosterone esters, growth hormones, and metabolic modulators, training on stimulants like adderall, with their eyes locked on the prize. There’s $25 million on line — if they can break records this weekend, some of them will be going home with a lot of money. The Enhanced Games are the newest, most bizarre, and intriguing pro sports event out there, and it’s causing a stir. Surrounded by controversy and…
This article was originally published by Lance D. Johnson at Natural News. The United States has just approved a $108.1 million sale of maintenance equipment for the HAWK missile system to Ukraine, a transaction that reveals far more about Western military vulnerability than it does about Ukrainian strength. This is not a story about a superpower arming an ally; it is a story about a desperate scramble to keep a 1950s-era weapons platform operational because modern alternatives are too expensive, too scarce, and too slow to produce. While the Pentagon frames this as routine support for a partner nation’s self-defense,…
I confess that I didn’t even realize Florida had a significant backlog in processing concealed carry applications. The Sunshine State may be home to some Second Amendment squishes in the legislature intent on blocking the repeal of the state’s “red flag” law and other restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms, HOAs that want to to curb lawful carry, and a few anti-gun mayors eager to challenge and overturn the state’s preemption law, but I haven’t heard many complaints about folks waiting for ages before getting their carry license. Florida Ag Commissioner Wilton Simpson,…
WASHINGTON (AP) — Tulsi Gabbard resigned as President Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence on Friday, saying she needed to leave office as her husband battles cancer. She is the fourth Cabinet member to depart during Trump’s second term, all of them women. In her resignation letter, which she posted on social media, Gabbard said she told Trump she would leave her job overseeing the coordination of 18 intelligence agencies on June 30. She said her husband had recently been diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer and “faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months.” “At this…
When a tornado comes, many people head straight down the stairs to wait it out. But if you live in an apartment, a home built on a concrete slab, or a mobile home, you probably don’t have a below-ground shelter. Effective survival does not include hoping for what you don’t have. It is about building a plan with options, and knowing exactly what to do with the space you do have. Ability and confidence come from having a solid plan before the sky turns green. Your preparedness helps figure all of that out, stripping things down to the essentials and…
NEW DELHI (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived in India on Saturday ahead of a meeting next week with his counterparts from India, Australia, and Japan, members of the Indo-Pacific strategic alliance known as the Quad. Rubio’s first official trip to India comes as Washington seeks to stabilize relations with New Delhi after ties soured over President Donald Trump’s tariff policies, which raised duties on several Indian exports. Much of Rubio’s four-day visit, however, will focus on a multicity tour, along with a gala reception in New Delhi marking the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence. “There’s a…
In Virginia, Democrats campaigned as moderates who wanted to focus on things like affordability. Taking office, though, they pivoted toward gun control and trying to gerrymander the state. The latter failed, but they’ve made the former happen with alarming speed.As we head into the midterms, though, the subject of guns, gun rights, and gun control will likely crop up here and there. We know where most Democrats will be staking their flags on the issue, and honestly, it looks like that might be pretty stupid of them.Stephen Gutowski at The Reload sent out his weekly…
