Virginia is the epitome of a swing state, at least over the last few years. From far left Democrats to conservative Republicans and back again, the state seems to swing like an unlatched screen door in a hurricane. Now the state has gone from Glenn Youngkin to Abigail Spanberger, and with her comes a litany of anti-gun proposals that Democrats in the Old Dominion State have long wanted to implement.And as NRA executive director John Commerford notes, this marks a change in the Second Amendment in Virginia.Perhaps no state is more steeped in America’s constitutional…
The Tango Innovations FCS is an integrated 2–10x scope that combines a laser, IR illuminator, and onboard ballistic solver in one unit. It merges optic, ranging, and laser functions into a fairly compact system designed to reduce rail clutter. The FCS, or Fire Control System, targets shooters who want speed, data, and simplicity without stacking multiple devices. Instead of bridging accessories, everything lives inside a single housing. Tango built the FCS around a native 2–10x optic with 0.2 MRAD adjustments. The system integrates a miniaturized laser derived from the Fire 4000, and pairs it with an IR pointer and flood…

The price of silver is surging as the demand for physical metals ramps up. The United States Mint raised silver coin prices by 85% (from $91 to $169), anticipating silver could soon exceed $100/oz, reflecting institutional expectations of a historic price explosion. According to a report by Natural News, some global entities have attempted to depress the price of silver. Despite years of alleged manipulation by JP Morgan and China to artificially depress silver prices, the metal has broken through $30/oz, with spot prices now near $93.52, proving paper-market controls are collapsing as demand for physical silver surges. Silver Price…
In the waning light on a chilly Wyoming evening, I lowered my head to the ZEISS Conquest V4 4-16X44 Riflescope, took aim at a distant target, and fired. “GONG!” That’s a hit. I adjusted my elevation turret more and took aim at a 600-yard target. “GONG!” Another hit. I smiled and got up from my seat. After only a few shots with the loaner rifle and scope I was given for this hunt, I felt confident. I hadn’t missed a single target. Over the next few days, I’d have the opportunity to build that confidence further, chasing coyotes on the…
After a weekend that saw a number of Trump administration officials arguing that carrying guns to protests is illegal or suggesting that carrying two magazines is a sign of nefarious intent, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt on Monday reiterated President Donald Trump’s support for the Second Amendment during her daily briefing. .@PressSec: “@POTUS supports the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding American citizens—absolutely… while Americans have a constitutional right to bear Arms, Americans do not have a constitutional right to impede lawful immigration enforcement operations.” pic.twitter.com/RUTna6A0e5— Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) January 26, 2026″The President supports the…
My family eats a ton of ground meat. It’s so versatile, and it cooks up quickly, a big plus while trying to keep up with two kids. We use it to make everything from tacos and spaghetti to burgers, sausages, and rice bowls. As a hunter, I harvest our meat myself, and, with our love for ground meat, a significant portion of it goes through the LEM #22 Big Bite 1.0 HP Meat Grinder. After a successful hunt, I power the big grinder up and have months’ worth of ground meat and sausage packaged and in the freezer in short…
A slate of gun control legislation is on the move in Virginia, with the Senate Courts of Justice committee holding a hearing today with more than a dozen anti-gun bills on the schedule, including a newly-amended ban on so-called assault firearms and large capacity magazines. Sen. Saddam Salim, the chief sponsor of the legislation, acknowledged that the bill is designed to gradually reduce the number of firearms “on the streets”, but noted that the bill grandfathers in existing owners.That grandfather clause, however, doesn’t extend to to “large capacity” magazines. In the substitute bill introduced before…
Not skipping a workout when the weather affects our plans, or when our schedules change, is a matter of priority, flexibility and quick thinking. However, with a well structured template that incorporates dynamic warmups, strength training and cardio options, you can maximize your results in just 20-30 minutes.Don’t fall prey to the “all or nothing” mentality. “Perfect is the enemy of good enough,” and sometimes that is all we have, depending on what life throws at us on any given day. Here is something I have used over the years in such situations:The ‘Half-the-Time’ Workout Template (with Options)If your normal…
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.
