I Don’t Believe in Coincidences
I joke that I’m not superstitious. When someone asked why that was, my response is simple: “because it’s bad luck.” Believing in luck creates luck. Believing in bad luck…well, you know. But coincidence, that’s a different matter. Last week, FBI Director Christopher Wray delivered pointed remarks with a simple message: the threat of Chinese Communist […]
Military Visual Augmentation System Promises Shooting Around Corners and More, But It’s In Development Hell
Technology has, slowly but surely, improved firearms. The oldest firearms weren’t very good at all, at least until European bellmakers improved on those early Chinese designs.

Why the US Military Sucks With Small Arms
People have always done stupid things. That’s a fact of life. However, thanks to the creature that is the Internet, the stupid things that people do now travel around the globe in minutes.

Sure, in a perfect world, depending on the situation, the […]
Gun Control for Americans, but Not for ‘Migrants’: Dems Want To Give Illegals Access to Automatic Weapons
Joe Biden and most of his Democrat buddies on Capitol Hill want to disarm everyday Americans. They support gun control, banning popular firearms, and civilian disarmament at every opportunity. They euphemistically call it “gun safety” legislation, but in reality it’s nothing more than making it harder for the average American to keep and bear arms […]
The Truth About the Florida State Guard’s Special Ops Unit
Founders want to create similar special operations units across a coalition of states, which would not be subject to federal oversight or presidential authority. When Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced he was “reactivating” the Florida State Guard nearly two years ago, veteran special operators and business partners Brandon Graves and Tom Morton knew they could […]
Every GOP Attorney General Warns Biden Admin Ministry of Gun Control Against Cutting Off Lake City Commercial Ammo
Every single Republican state attorney general sent the same message to President Joe Biden and his Office of Gun Violence Prevention. Don’t degrade military readiness or think about using Lake City Army Ammunition Plant as a pawn in their gun control game. The Republican attorneys general wrote in response to a letter sent by Democratic attorneys […]
