As TTAG readers are well aware, the biggest problem with so-called “gun-free” zones is that only people who follow the law are gun-free in such zones. Criminals, who by definition aren’t restrained by gun laws, carry freely and prey upon those who are disarmed by the government. Now, a U.S. Congressman from Virginia has introduced legislation that would place the burden for those wounded or killed in areas where guns are forbidden on the government entity that instituted the restriction. Rep. John McGuire, R-Virginia, introduced the “Shall Not Be Infringed Act” on March 16. The measure would allow people harmed…

Source: The Second Amendment Foundation’s Investigative Journalism Project Here’s a question for you: Does it matter if a university psychiatry professor builds his career and reputation on anti-gun research that gets published in one of the most widely read medical journals in the world, without a single disclaimer, bias label, or conflict-of-interest flag? It should. And according to the Second Amendment Foundation’s Investigative Journalism Project, that’s exactly what’s been happening with University of Michigan psychiatry professor Brian M. Hicks, PhD. Hicks has made a name for himself and secured significant federal funding by producing studies that reliably arrive at one…
Denmark dispatched soldiers and explosives to Greenland in January as part of a contingency plan to obliterate key runways if the United States attempted an invasion, the country’s public broadcaster has reported.The strategy, which focused on landing strips in Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq, was designed to prevent U.S. military aircraft from landing troops and equipment. Danish blood banks even flew in supplies to treat potential casualties. The mobilization came amid President Donald Trump’s ongoing campaign to annex Greenland. He has threatened to seize the semiautonomous Danish territory by force, arguing that American ownership is vital for national and international security —…
When Springfield introduced its Croatian-made XD pistol a quarter century ago, I was already familiar with the P9—Springfield’s excellent CZ clone—so the new striker-fired, polymer-frame XD looked promising. It was. Since then, the lineup has grown to include long-slide and compact variants in multiple calibers, and the platform has steadily evolved. The latest iteration, the XD Mod 3, may be the best of the bunch—and at just over $300 at most retailers, it’s hard to ignore. Features and Design The Mod 3 retains the locked-breech lockup and angled camming surfaces of the original, with noticeably tighter barrel fitting. Like all…

This article was originally published by Don Stacy II at The Mises Institute. Commonly discussed in radical political circles is the Overton window (also called the window of discourse), which is typically defined as the range of subjects and arguments—public ideas—politically acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time. The Overton window varies over time (either by shifting, shrinking, and/or expanding), thereby demonstrating the gradual evolution of societal norms and values. Less well-known is that political commentator Joshua Trevino has hypothesized that the political acceptability component of the Overton window can be subdivided into six significant and separately identifiable degrees. These degrees of…
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence released its annual threat report Wednesday, outlining the broader intelligence community’s assessment of dangers to the U.S. and its interests and military installations abroad.In remarks to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard focused heavily on the threat of foreign terror groups with Islamist ideology to the U.S. and to “Western civilization.” The phrase, while absent from recent threat reports, “fits the broader approach the administration has taken to U.S. allies in Europe, which is arguing that the threat is to Western civilization from immigrants,” according to…

Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics This story, “Trapped in Devil’s Hole,” appeared in the Sept. 1963 issue of Outdoor Life. From the trail along the rim of the gorge, the Middle Fork of the San Joaquin River, whiplashing down its canyon 1,000 feet below, looked like a twisting silver snake. It was water that neither John McClary nor I had ever been on, and just the sight of it, even though it was still hours away, was enough to make a fisherman’s heart skip. We were in the rugged, high country…
