After a crazed murderer opened fire at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, on Valentine’s Day 2018, lawmakers immediately went to work passing more restrictive gun-control laws. The attacker killed 17 and wounded 17 others, making it the deadliest mass shooting at a high school in U.S. history. Even some Republicans felt so much heat from constituents that they supported several proposals, and Republican Gov. Rick Scott quickly signed them into law. One new law was a ban that forbids lawful 18-, 19-, and 20-year-old citizens from purchasing long guns—both rifles and shotguns—in the Sunshine State. Ever since,…

A job announcement from a veteran-owned military contractor raised alarm on social media Wednesday over a potential escalation of U.S. military operations abroad. Manassas, Virginia-based Joint Technology Solution, Inc., has active job advertisements on Indeed and Glassdoor for on-call, part-time “personal effects specialists” to handle the belongings of fallen service members at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. The job notices, which aren’t dated, drew the attention of Rebekah Jones, an activist and climate scientist, who posted one on her popular X account. “Not a good sign for the United States that Dover AFB is ‘urgently hiring’ people to sort…
Buying guns does not always have to be justified or rational. Sometimes the best purchase is simply one that makes you smile. When shopping for a new gun, many of us fall into the trap of trying to rationalize every purchase. We start weighing specs, terminal performance, logistics, and hypothetical scenarios. The type of gun owner you are tends to shape those decisions, for better or worse. If guns are more than just tools or preparation for a Red Dawn style invasion, you may find enjoyment in the history, the mechanics, or the discipline involved in mastering different platforms. And…
U.S. sailors partook in a time-honored tradition of writing messages or their own names on bombs loaded onto planes during Operation Epic Fury.Sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln marked the ordnances they helped prepare for the mission, according to recent photos posted by the U.S. Central Command.

A Reactionary Edict from a Panicked President The order came via a social media post from a commander-in-chief who has just set the Middle East ablaze. On March 3, 2026, President Donald Trump announced he had directed the U.S. Navy to begin escorting commercial oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz and ordered a federal agency to provide political risk insurance for all Gulf maritime trade [1][2]. I believe this is not a strategic masterstroke but the frantic thrashing of an administration that started a war it cannot finish. It…
Carrying a firearm every day is something everyone should do. My preferred method of carry and what I recommend to gun owners is to carry on their body if possible. This is the safest way to carry your gun and ensure it is easily accessible at all times. Sometimes this just isn’t possible, especially for women, when our clothing and outfits can be a little more restrictive than those of our male counterparts. In these scenarios, it’s important to find an off-body carry method that works for you, is comfortable, and you are willing to train to use. There are…
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth acknowledged on Wednesday that some Iranian air attacks may still hit their targets even as he asserted that U.S. military superiority is quickly giving it control of the Islamic Republic’s airspace.The United States has spared “no expense or capability” to enhance air defense systems to protect American forces and allies in the Middle East, Hegseth told reporters at the Pentagon days after the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran in a war that has widened throughout the region.“This does not mean we can stop everything, but we ensured that the maximum possible defense and maximum possible force…
