When background checks for gun sales dipped below 1 million last July, anti-gun advocates sighed with relief. The nearly six-year-long streak had come to an end, and gun-banners were hopeful it would usher in a new era of lower gun sales. Judging by the latest March numbers, those hopes were false.

It is also a 13% increase over the February total. For comparison, the unadjusted March 2026 FBI NICS figure of 2,212,094 reflects a 10.5%…

Monumental battles between Allied and German forces in Holland, Belgium, eastern France, northern Italy and along Germany’s western frontier were still being waged when two American men — Frederick Ayer Jr. and Donald L. Daughters — stepped foot upon the pavement of the newly liberated Paris in August 1944. “The reality of the men’s identities and their reason for traveling to newly liberated Paris would likely have surprised even the most observant and intuitive onlooker,” writes author and historian Stephen Harding in his latest, “G.I.
