For years, Gun Owners of America has put out the State of the Second Podcast. They’ve interviewed a ton of people, and a lot of people tune into each episode of the latest and greatest in the Second Amendment world. But there are a lot of people who don’t listen to podcasts all that much. Unfortunately, I tend to be one of them. I listen to some from time to time, but I just don’t have a lot of opportunity to listen unless I just sit down to listen, at which point I start looking…
According to Poland’s ruler, President Karol Nawrocki, the country is in need of nuclear weapons. Citing a perceived “Russian threat”, Nawrocki said that Poland should be developing its own nuclear weapons program. The U.S. and Russia Are Seeking New START Nuclear Treaty Through Diplomacy While speaking to Polsat News on Sunday, Nawrocki said he is a “strong supporter of Poland joining the nuclear project.” “We need to act in this direction so that we can begin work,” the Polish president stated, adding that he does not know whether Warsaw would actually pursue this endeavor. Meanwhile, talk of obtaining nuclear weapons is…
Alabama rigs, also known as A-rigs or umbrella rigs, can seem intimidating if you’ve never thrown one. There are wild wires and blades everywhere, multiple soft plastics, and the thing looks like a chandelier. It certainly doesn’t look like something you just tie on and cast, which is true, but avoiding the A-rig is a big mistake. The fact of the matter is, A-rigs are one of the most effective bass fishing lures ever created. You can slow roll it in deep water, burn it around shallow structure, twitch and pop it, and everything in between. Its versatility and effectiveness…
The Bruen decision was a watershed moment for the American gun rights cause.Finally, the Supreme Court clearly articulated what common-sense Americans already knew: the right to keep and bear arms means that you have a right to have a gun on your person and carry it with you outside of your home. It’s a little disturbing that it took so long (couldn’t they have figured this out in 1803?), but better late than never. More federal courts are finally catching onto what the Framers intended and inscribed in our national charter.This is not the first time…
Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, a series of 21 islands and 12 miles of shoreline in Lake Superior, is one of Wisconsin’s natural gems. If it became a national park, it would be Wisconsin’s first. This week, lawmakers began the process to add the area to the national park system, but the measure is already sparking controversy. Here’s what you need to know. What Is Apostle Islands National Lakeshore? This series of 21 islands along Lake Superior is located in far northeastern Wisconsin, about 80 miles from Duluth, Minn. Highlights of the island include sea caves, sandy beaches, and the biggest…
We’ve reported several times about the onslaught of anti-gun legislation under consideration in Virginia since voters elected Democrat Abigail Spanberger as their new governor. Many of those measures are seeing great success, with the bill banning common semi-automatic firearms and normal capacity magazines already approved by the House of Representatives by a large margin. One egregious measure, however, has already met a timely end. House Bill 207 would have created an entirely new section of Virginia’s tax code dedicated solely to suppressors. If enacted, licensed firearms dealers would have been required to collect a $500 tax on every retail suppressor…
Though there’ve been numerous news stories over the past month about liberals and progressives embracing their Second Amendment rights, largely in response to increased ICE immigration enforcement efforts, we haven’t seen a lot of hard data to back up those claims. But a new report from the Minneapolis Star Tribune suggests that the phenomenon isn’t just a creation of the media, at least in the Twin Cities. The paper spoke to local sheriffs and licensing authorities in and around Minneapolis and St. Paul, and found that both concealed carry and permit-to-purchase applications soared in January. Hennepin…
On April 25, 1951, Sgt. Edward G. Bunn heard Cpl. Charles L. Gilliland’s automatic rifle firing in the darkness near Tongmang-ni, Korea. Gilliland always kept his weapon clean and fine-tuned. Bunn knew when his comrade was the one firing. In a chaotic firefight against waves of Chinese troops, the 17-year-old from Yellville, Arkansas, was using his weapon to hold the line.”If it weren’t for this young man, Charles Gilliland, I wouldn’t be standing here today,” Bunn said decades later.Gilliland never made it off that hill. His remains have never been recovered. More than seven decades later, the youngest Medal of…
At the 2018 and 2022 Olympics, cross-country skier Jessie Diggins won multiple medals and became the most decorated American ever in her sport. As her career reached new heights, she should’ve been on top of the world. However, an upcoming documentary shows that, behind the scenes, Diggins was unraveling. “Threshold,” which premieres on Peacock on Feb. 23, follows Diggins throughout the 2023/24 World Cup season as an eating disorder, which she had developed as a teen, reemerges. “I could feel that voice that wanted me to just disappear,” Diggins says in the trailer. “I couldn’t stand being in my own…
Immigration officials deported U.S. Army veteran Godfrey Wade to Jamaica while his appeal was still pending. His attorney said the federal government retains the authority to bring him back.Wade, a lawful permanent resident who lived in the United States for more than 50 years, was deported earlier this month after an immigration judge denied his motion to reopen a removal order that had been entered in absentia years ago.His attorney, Tony Kozycki, told Military.com that the case is now before the Board of Immigration Appeals and that the Department of Homeland Security can allow Wade to return while the appeal…
Since Alex Pretti was killed by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis last month, there’s been a lot of debate over the legality and propriety of carrying guns at protests. I believe that doing so is protected by the Second Amendment, but not every state recognizes that right. And while folks may disagree about whether or not it’s a good idea, I think there’s universal agreement that if you point that firearm at anyone when your life isn’t in danger, you’ve now crossed the line from constitutionally-protected activity into criminal action. Charges of felony pointing a firearm…
One thing many American gun owners do not realize is that several states have laws stating that suppressors are legal to use in those states as long as they are registered under the federal National Firearms Act (NFA). That is a positive thing, of course. However, it could leave those states in a dilemma. If and when the NFA is fully repealed, suppressor ownership and use in those states would no longer be legal until state laws are changed. That’s the idea behind South Dakota’s Senate Bill 2, signed into law on February 10 by Republican Gov. Larry Rhoden. In…
To call the Buffalo shooting an atrocity is putting it mildly. The racist motivation and nature of the attack make it more despicable than most other mass murders I’ve covered over the years, and those are bad enough as they are. But at the end of the day, the only person who was responsible for the killing is the racist jackwagon who pulled the trigger.Unfortunately, another member of the firearm industry has agreed to pay out over things that simply aren’t their fault. This time, it’s a company out of Georgia that was held responsible.The…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream. Whether we like it or not, AI is radically transforming virtually every aspect of our society. We have already reached a point where AI can do most things better than humans can, and AI technology continues to advance at an exponential rate. The frightening thing is that it is advancing so fast that we may soon lose control over it. The latest model that OpenAI just released was instrumental in creating itself, and it is light-years ahead of the AI models that were being released…
