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,…
Police are on the hunt for a woman who stands accused of stealing $8,500 from a bank by using a fraudulent military identification card. The Shreverport Police Department in Louisiana has asked for the public’s help in identifying the unknown woman, who is accused of stealing the money on July 15, at BOM Bank. Police said the woman used the ID to obtain a cash advance on the victim’s credit line. Bank representatives reportedly thought the ID was legitimate until the victim later discovered the unauthorized withdrawal and confirmed they had not allowed anyone else to access their account. In…
A 30-acre wooded property on a lake in western New York opened up as a free retreat where disabled veterans could rest and heal. But the land is claimed to be a private getaway paid for by strangers who thought they were helping veterans. On Aug. 12, Attorney General Letitia James sued the charity, Healing for Heroes, along with the married couple who founded and ran it, Thomas Nelsen and Jennifer Milchanoski-Nelsen, of Bemus Point. The lawsuit alleges the two solicited donations in the name of disabled veterans and then spent much of the money on themselves, renovating a bathroom,…
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 United States Justice Department has indicted Raúl Castro, the former ruler of Cuba. Similarly, this move mirrors the one made by the US that offered a pretext for the kidnapping of Venezuela’s ruler, Nicolas Maduro. Much of the world condemned the US’s handling of Maduro and the brief military action in Venezuela it took to remove him from power. Since then, the US has taken control of most of Venezuela’s oil. Trump Halts Second Wave of Venezuela Strikes As Global Outrage Grows Over Maduro Abduction The indictment of Castro was unsealed on Wednesday. It accuses Castro of ordering the…
NEW LONDON, Conn. (AP) — President Donald Trump told the U.S. Coast Guard Academy’s graduates on Wednesday that they show “unbelievable heroism and exceptional selflessness” but that the cadets will “be tested further” as they embark on their military careers. Trump’s remarks to the class of 2026 were the first time he has given a commencement address at one of the nation’s military academies after sending U.S. troops to fight a new war. He told the cadets that they will be America’s “first defenders” and “first responders.” “You’ve all been tested. You’ll be tested further and probably at higher levels…
The Supreme Court will address one way anti-gun Democrats have tried to limit the right to carry when it issues its decision in Wolford v. Lopez at some point in the next few weeks, but Second Amendment advocates are asking the justices to look beyond the “vampire rule” issue in that case and take on some of the other “sensitive places” that gun-controlled states have put in place over the past few years. Novotny v. Moore was filed by Maryland Shall Issue, Maryland Rifle & Pistol Association, Firearms Policy Coalition, Second Amendment Foundation, and several individual plaintiffs…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House is expected to vote on legislation Thursday to compel President Donald Trump to withdraw from the war with Iran, a significant test of lawmakers’ willingness to go along with a conflict the president launched over two months ago without congressional approval. The vote is the latest effort by Democrats to rein in Trump’s military campaigns by using the War Powers Resolution of 1973. Previous votes on similar resolutions have failed, but Democrats are hoping that Thursday could be a turning point. One by one, a small but potentially crucial number of Republicans have sided with…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream under the title: We Are Being Conditioned To Expect Some Sort Of A “Big Reveal”, And All Of A Sudden It Seems Like Just About Everyone Is Talking About UFOs And Aliens It isn’t just a coincidence that there has been an explosion in interest in the subject of UFOs and aliens recently. The truth is that we are being conditioned. For decades, books, movies, television shows, and video games have been conditioning us to think a certain way about encounters with very strange unidentified…
The purpose of the Second Amendment is the defense of this nation. Our Founding Fathers were generally smart men, and they recognized that defending our nation might mean fighting our government. It’s part of why they were largely distrustful of standing armies in the first place and preferred the militia. But, as things have chanced in the last 250 years, a lot of people figure that the purpose of the Second Amendment has also changed. They think it’s about hunting or, if they’re feeling charitable, about personal protection, and not anything else. It’s why they…
NEW YORK (AP) — Elon Musk announced plans Wednesday for one of the biggest stock sales ever by taking public a space company that is currently losing billions of dollars a year. A filing shows that his SpaceX lost $2.6 billion from operations last year on $18.7 billion in revenue, and the losses kept piling up at the start of this year, too. The prospectus did not put a dollar figure on the amount Musk hopes to raise, but various reports have put it at $75 billion or so. An offering of that size would easily surpass the current title…
Garett Bolles couldn’t help but think about his late grandfather, Ralph, while meeting a group of veterans last weekend in Colorado Springs, Colo. Ralph, a Korean War Army veteran, died about two months ago. He passed on the value of military sacrifice to his grandson, Bolles, the Denver Broncos’ All-Pro left tackle, who, in turn, is passing it on to his children. It’s the type of patriotic passion that motivates Bolles to spend time with veterans, hearing their stories and saying, “Thank you for your service.” “We, as American people, are blessed in so many ways,” Bolles told Military.com in…
