Under federal law, “unlawful” users of drugs are not allowed to possess firearms. But what exactly does that mean? Is someone who smoked a joint ten years ago forbidden from exercising their Second Amendment rights? What about someone who occasionally uses drugs, but is not addicted to them? The Supreme Court will examine the constitutionality of Section 922(g)(3) in early March when it hears oral arguments in U.S. v. Hemani, but the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (and its parent agency the Department of Justice) are already taking a second look at the…
The newly released CZ 75 Legend recreates the original CZ 75 almost part for part, bringing back the pistol that reshaped the service‑handgun market in the 1970s. How the CZ 75 Filled the Gaps Others Left When the CZ 75 debuted in the early 1970s, the handgun market offered capable designs that still left feature gaps. Each popular pistol solved part of the problem, but none combined everything shooters were looking for. The Browning Hi‑Power provided strong magazine capacity but limited shooters to single‑action operation. The Walther P38 offered a double‑action trigger, yet carried only eight rounds. The SIG P210…
The Commonwealth of Virginia has a strange history with gun laws. What I mean is that depending on who is in power, it’s either uber pro-gun or uber anti-gun, and those seem to swing faster than a screen door in a tornado. After the recent elections, though, it’s clear the state is headed deep into the anti-gun side of things, with a plethora of gun control proposals already introduced, and there being little doubt of more to come.Which brings us to Lobby Day in Richmond. That’s the annual gathering of gun rights advocates outside the…
Ambient Arms suppressors utilize intake technology that pulls ambient air into the suppressor. This cooling and flow-through design cuts heat, reduces back pressure, and stabilizes bullets at the muzzle. Exo 5.56 Mini: Compact Can, Big Heat Management The Exo 5.56 Mini sits at the center of this lineup. The suppressor uses Inconel construction with an integrated flash hider. It targets shooters who want durability without giving up size. The Exo Mini 5.56 is 5.9″ long, which is an inch shorter than the full size Exo. This suppressor is 19.4 ounces, which is heavier than the Exo due to its inconel…
Pentagon Signals Rare Domestic ReadinessThe Department of Defense has placed roughly 1,500 active-duty Army soldiers on standby for possible deployment to Minnesota following escalating unrest in Minneapolis tied to federal immigration enforcement operations and a fatal shooting involving an ICE agent. Defense officials confirmed the troops were given prepare-to-deploy orders as a contingency measure after President Donald Trump publicly warned the federal government could invoke the Insurrection Act if local authorities failed to maintain order.According to defense reporting, the soldiers are assigned to the Army’s 11th Airborne Division based in Alaska. The unit specializes in rapid response in extreme winter…
Every now and then, I stumble on a survival hack that really makes me think, “Wait, why isn’t everyone doing this?” That’s exactly what happened when I came across this candle hack. In all the years I’ve been doing this, somehow I never heard about this one.The idea is to use steel wool in place of standard candle wicks, which slowly burn up over time. The steel gets hot enough to vaporize the wax and sustain a flame, but it doesn’t actually burn away like other wicks. That means the wick lasts practically forever. All you have to do is…
There’s something insane about the latest proposals to target 3D printers with state-level laws. New York has considered requiring background checks for printers, for example. While Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg wants manufacturers of 3D printers to create their software so their products won’t make guns or gun parts, he doesn’t have the authority to make anything stick. He’s trying to get voluntary compliance.But it seems Washington state isn’t worried about what manufacturers want to do. They’re just going to tell them.As 3D-printed firearms become a growing concern, Washington is the latest state to propose laws…
The suppressed TAO50 builds on Auto-Ordnance’s TAO50 platform with an integral suppressor paired to a muzzle brake. The system drops standard FMJ ammunition to roughly 110 dB on a sound meter, according to Auto-Ordnance. That reduction, combined with the brake, keeps recoil surprisingly mild for a .50 BMG rifle. Integrally Suppressed .50 BMG Design The barrel measures 20 inches on the suppressed model and sits partially inside the suppressor. About half the barrel extends into a large expansion chamber before the welded baffle stack continues forward. While the suppressor looks massive, the effective baffle section adds about 12 to 15…
A female soldier who was attacked and raped by a convicted serial predator at Fort Hood has filed a $10 million personal injury complaint against the U.S. Army, alleging that the service was aware of sexual crimes and physical abuse but did nothing to warn others or to put additional safety measures into place.Mayra Diaz, 22, filed the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) administrative complaint on Jan. 20 based on what she endured earlier this decade at Fort Hood (known as Fort Cavazos at the time) at the hands of Sgt. Greville Clarke, an Army noncommissioned officer who after three…
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…

Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn The Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn region is a magnificent area with high mountain ranges, glaciers and is actually the most glaciated part of the European Alps. Visiting this area can be done relatively easy by car and if you want to go up, by train up to 3,400 metres above sea level, the highest train ride in Europe, the Jungfrau Railway is very impressive (and expensive!). The area is on the UNESCO World Heritage list because of its unique and wide range of flora and fauna and geological importance regarding the creating of the High Alps.
