This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. Negotiations with Iran have reached a breaking point just as a parade of 6 planets is appearing in the night sky and a major blood moon eclipse is approaching next week. The skeptics will continue to insist that this is “just a coincidence” even as the missiles start flying. The third round of talks between the United States and Iran has ended in Geneva, and they produced nothing. The U.S. wanted Iran to transfer all enriched uranium out of the country, to cease all future uranium enrichment,…

With some new, additional NFA barriers eliminated, I find myself rethinking niche suppressor designs that used to feel too costly to justify adding to the collection. Wipe-equipped cans use thin, often rubber, discs that the bullet punches through for superior gas sealing. On paper and often in video games and in movies, they promise exceptional, virtually Hollywood-quiet suppression in ultra-compact packages.

I see models like the Gemtech Aurora 2 available through Silencer Shop as more…
