The Liberal government in Canada is continuing its nationwide gun “buyback” of banned firearms, though we haven’t heard many Liberal politicians touting its success as of late. Instead, most of the recent headlines about the compensated confiscation effort have centered around localities refusing to participate. Most recently, the police department in Kingston, Ontario declared it won’t be involved in the federal effort, citing “concerns related to the program’s design, implementation, and potential impacts on local policing resources and public safety priorities,” identified by both the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police and the Ontario Association…
A man leaving a gun range found himself in a robbery attempt that quickly escalated into a shootout. And at least one alleged robber paid the price. According to a report from Click2Houston (KPRC2), Houston police say the incident unfolded near an apartment complex on Rampart Street and the Westpark Tollway. Investigators told reporters that the victim had just left a gun range when he was approached and robbed by a group of three men. Police say the suspects followed him to the apartment complex before the situation turned violent. During the attempted robbery, the armed citizen fired his weapon,…
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…
What state is the most hostile to our Second Amendment rights? There are several states in the running, but I might have to give the nod to Hawaii. In his latest legal filing, attorney Alan Beck notes that Hawaii County alone has settled seven lawsuits that challenge various gun control laws since the Bruen decision came down 3 1/2 years ago. Number eight may be on the horizon. Beck, who’s also taking on Hawaii’s ‘vampire rule” in Wolford v. Lopez, is once again suing the county; this time for taking longer than forty days to process…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog under the title: Optimism About The Future Plunges To An All-Time Record Low, And Credit Card Debt Soars To An All-Time Record High As long as you have hope, you can face whatever challenges are ahead. Sadly, Americans have been losing hope at a rate that is absolutely unprecedented. As you will see below, optimism about the future has fallen to the lowest level ever recorded. One of the biggest reasons why people are losing hope is because we have been in a historic cost-of-living crisis for almost this…
President Donald Trump has pulled the United States out of the World Health Organization. Considering what a trainwreck WHO was during the COVID fiasco, I can’t say that I blame him, though a lot of others heavily criticized the move. WHO doesn’t acknowledge the United States’ ability to leave the organization, but since there’s not a lot they can do about anything, I’m not losing sleep over it. Yet if Trump hadn’t pulled us out of the WHO, it might be a fine time to consider it, at least if the organization listens to a…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadOn a bitterly cold morning—when the pipes freeze up, and the faucets stop running—the reality of frozen plumbing hits fast. That was my experience last Saturday morning, with wind chills in the negative double digits. First thing in the morning, I noticed the toilet sounded odd. There was no water filling the tank after it was flushed. That’s when it hit me—”Great, my pipes must be frozen.” Up until that moment, I’d never dealt with frozen pipes, so the question popped into my head: “Okay, so my pipes are frozen, now what do I…

Garmin just kicked the laser rangefinder game into the next zip code. Meet the Xero L60i, a GNSS-enabled rangefinding monocular that doesn’t just tell you distance, it overlays mapping, navigation, and ballistic data right inside the optic. If you’ve ever wished your rangefinder acted more like a handheld GPS, this is it. The Xero L60i ranges targets out to 3,600 meters (and up to 7,000 meters on reflective objects in ideal conditions) through 7X magnification, while projecting a full-color, high-resolution display directly into the glass. Distance, mapping, navigation cues, it’s all layered into your sight picture via augmented reality. SEE…
