Now-former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin has never given the slightest impression of acknowledging the right to keep and bear arms is a real thing, and he’s certainly never taken a stand in support of that right. Instead, Platkin defended New Jersey’s ban on commonly-owned guns and magazines, restrictions on lawful carry in a host of supposedly sensitive places (including your own car), and attacked the firearms industry and makers of home-built firearms through civil litigation. In the wake of the death of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, though, Platkin has joined…
SHOT Show is wild, and chances are, if there’s a product you’re looking for, you’ll find it in Vegas. Heck, I saw a belt-fed grenade launcher mounted on a drone. Two, actually. But while all that is fun, I had a job to do. I put the distractions aside and searched out products that are a bit more practical, like flashlights. Everyone needs a flashlight, whether you’re a hunter, a shooter, or a camping enthusiast. The list goes on and on. The point is, flashlights are handy, and SHOT Show is oddly where many of the top names in the…
The bills Virginia gun owners are staring at are worrying to a significant degree. Not only do they ban so-called assault weapons and standard capacity magazines, but the magazine ban doesn’t include a grandfather clause. If you’ve got a buttload of magazines you’ve accumulated over the years, even for guns you no longer own, you could wake up one morning and find yourself guilty of a felony because an old magazine fell behind your nightstand.Now, it’s possible that it will get watered down to some degree. Still, I’m skeptical that it’ll happen, considering the so-called…
The United States has initiated large-scale, multi-day military drills in the Middle East, as a massive “armada” of ships makes its way to Iran. U.S. ruler Donald Trump has warned that “there is another beautiful armada floating beautifully towards Iran right now.” Fortunately, Trump has laid off the rhetoric of taking over Greenland for now. However, in exchange, he’s increasing military actions in the Middle East, likely gearing up for a war there. WAR ALERT: Trump Threatens Iran US Air Forces Central (AFCENT) stated on Tuesday that the “readiness exercise” is designed to demonstrate the rapid deployment and sustainment of combat aircraft. The operation…
The snowpack in Colorado is dismal, and warm temperatures across the state aren’t helping. Earlier this month, Vail Resorts announced that skier visits are down 20% this year as a result of the poor conditions. Ikon resorts must be feeling the sting, too. On Tuesday, Jan. 27, Ikon sent its pass holders an email offering $20 vouchers for anyone willing to come and ski in these less-than-ideal conditions. All you have to do is register for the “Ski & Ride Reward Program” online. Then, go ski and ride at any U.S. Ikon Pass destination. For each day you do (up…
I wasn’t expecting to find futuristic footwear at a nerdy electronics show. So, when I saw Fitasy’s booth at CES, I did a double-take. The brand was debuting eye-catching, monochrome recovery kicks called the Stride, which featured some fancy technology I hadn’t seen before. To make them, Fitasy takes a custom scan of your feet and prints shoes tailored to your foot’s dimensions. Cinderella would be envious of the fit. Naturally, I had to try these things on. And I’m not gonna lie, they impressed me. What Makes the Fitasy Stride 3D-Printed Recovery Shoes Unique (Photo/Fitasy) These mesh-like, rubbery shoes are…
You might think you’ve had s**t beer before, but I can guarantee — never like this. In the lead up to “the Big Game” (it’s the Super Bowl, sue me) Columbia Sportswear partnered with Portland’s Breakside Brewery to tee up a debut brew — Nature Calls — that fits in with the company’s “Engineered for Whatever” slogan. It’s not the first time the beer industry has dipped its toes in the outdoors. Busch Light launched decked-out camp koozies and even built a fishing hole in one lucky winner’s yard. And a bunch of ragtag Minneapolis bikers once launched a PBR into space — and filmed…
The Virginia Senate Courts of Justice Committee has already approved a half-dozen gun control measures, and the Democrat-controlled committee is likely to rubber stamp several more this afternoon. According to a legislative update from the Virginia Citizens Defense League, the committee will be meeting this afternoon with multiple gun bills on the agenda, including two bills that would create a new permit-to-purchase scheme that applies to every gun purchase in the Commonwealth. In order to get a permit, Virginians would have to submit their fingerprints to the Virginia State Police, along with proof of firearms training…
This article was originally published by James Bovard at The Mises Institute. On Saturday, federal agents in Minneapolis killed protester Alex Pretti, shooting him in the back 10 times after they had taken away the pistol he legally carried. White House Deputy Chief Stephen Miller quickly settled the issue: “A would-be assassin tried to murder federal law enforcement, and the official Democrat account sides with the terrorists.” A few hours after Pretti was killed, I commented on Twitter/X: “How many of the Trump supporters cheering the killing of the Minneapolis demonstrator today would also cheer for the FBI sniper killing Vicki Weaver…
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…
