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,…

Unlike your experience in the military, promotions in the private (civilian) sector can be unpredictable. Your climb to the next level of responsibility and leadership may have less to do with your technical acumen, your longevity in the job and merit scores in your current role. Getting promoted in the private sector can have more to do with your reputation, likability, decisiveness and soft skills like your empathy, teamwork and work ethic. How and when companies entertain promoting employees is inconsistent and highly variable. One company may promote on a regular schedule – such as after 12 or 18 months…
United States President Donald Trump has chosen to delay a “very major attack” on Iran. The US ruler has instructed the Department of War to hold off on strikes for a few days to give Tehran a chance to accept the deal sent by Washington. The US is demanding that Iran accept the most recent deal, or else it will unleash an attack. Trump said the strike had been scheduled for Tuesday, but that he had ordered the Pentagon to stand down for now after Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and “some others” urged him to allow more time…
The automotive world frequently operates on the assumption that newer is better. Automakers are always chasing the latest tech and the latest design trends, competing against each other to stay ahead of the curve. Sometimes, however, sticking to what you know is the best way forward. Lexus, Toyota’s high-end sub-brand, has adopted this strategy with one of its models, the IS. The engine powering the IS has been around for 12 years. Its reliability has been a contributing factor to the good reputation of the IS, and it doesn’t look like Lexus has any intention of replacing it any time…
I’ve spent a lot of time behind glass over the years, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that high magnification binoculars are only as useful as your ability to hold them steady. At 16x, even the slightest hand tremor turns a crisp image into an abstract blur. That’s exactly the problem Sig Sauer set out to solve with the ZULU6 HDX OIS 16x42mm binoculars, and after putting these through their paces for several months, I can tell you they’ve done a remarkable job of it. Out of the box, the ZULU6 HDX binos carry that unmistakable Sig Sauer…
We’re learning more details about the two teenage suspects who authorities say are responsible for a shooting at San Diego’s largest mosque on Monday that resulted in the murders of three men. According to officials, the 17 and 18-year-old (who will not be named by Bearing Arms) who carried out the attack took their own lives after fleeing the mosque. Police first became aware of one of the teens when his mom contacted police to report a runaway. During the course of that conversation, authorities learned that several of the mom’s firearms were missing, as…
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth traveled to Kentucky this week to campaign against Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, in a move that has raised Hatch Act questions. Hegseth appeared at a rally for Republican challenger Ed Gallrein in Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District after President Donald Trump publicly targeted Massie over disagreements involving foreign policy and spending, in addition to Massie being on the forefront of wanting to fully release the so-called Epstein files. Promotional materials and local media coverage advertised the event using Hegseth’s official title, rather than presenting him merely as a private political activist. The administration…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge under the title Oil Slides After Iran Says US Agreed To Lift Oil Sanctions During Talks, Long-Term ‘Nuclear Freeze’ On Table Summary A flurry of (the somewhat typically-timed) Monday opener headlines has pushed oil prices lower, erasing weekend gains, including Al Arabia reporting that Iran is ready to accept a long-term nuclear freeze. Iran has submitted its latest proposal comprising 14-points through Pakistan, amid reports that the US has offered to lift sanctions on Iranian oil during the interim negotiating period. Reports further add that Russia’s offer to take and hold Iran’s…
The so-called vampire rule was, perhaps, one of the most idiotic concepts in American law. With the vampire rule, no other civil liberty is presumed to be restricted in a privately owned business other than the right to keep and bear arms. It’s called that because vampires have to be invited inside, much like gun owners in states like New York are. And, the state got smacked down pretty hard on Monday.As Cam noted yesterday, the Second Circuit isn’t exactly a pro-gun court, which means it has to be pretty egregious for them to call…
BEIJING (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin is traveling to China to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinping less than a week after U.S. President Donald Trump wrapped up his own trip to Beijing. Putin is scheduled to be in China on Tuesday and Wednesday in a visit likely to be closely watched as Beijing seeks to maintain stable relations with the United States while also preserving strong ties with Russia. The Kremlin has said Putin and Xi plan to discuss economic cooperation between the two countries, but also “key international and regional issues.” The visit coincides with the 25th…

Fred Minnick was at his wits’ end. The Army veteran had tried just about every form of therapy. Nothing worked. Nothing could stem the crushing tide of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that consumed his life. With nowhere else to turn, the Iraq War veteran believed he was left with three outcomes: prison, homelessness or ending his life by suicide. He tried that too. Still, nothing could strip away the pain. Until one day, a breakthrough. Determined to feel better, Minnick sat in the office of a Veterans Affairs therapist, like he had done many times before. But today was different.…
