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…

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.…

The qualifying window remains open-ended until a termination date is announced. This builds directly on earlier recognition for the same type of mission. In 2019, the Defense Department authorized the Armed Forces Service Medal…
