The company had already been struggling, and getting on the president’s bad side was the last thing it needed. Intel leaders immediately contacted the White House to set…
If you set out looking for an enemy, you’ll find one. Hell, you’ll create one if you have to. That is precisely what New York gun controllers are devoting their energy to these days, as they target what they say radicals refer to as the “New Second Amendment,” groups of like-minded individuals who share information on 3D printing and how to use it to develop and improve privately made firearms technology. Make no mistake, these groups, known as “3D2A” and ”3D Printing For All,” are now being investigated for nothing more than being gun enthusiasts who use open-source websites to…

When preppers brag about their setups, they talk about guns, water filters, bug-out bags, and stockpiles of beans. Fine, all good. But here’s the reality check: your stash will run out. Your ammo box will empty. Your garden won’t feed you if it doesn’t grow.
