The battery in Mario Romero’s phone was dying. But he had enough charge to see the social media posts about trouble breaking out around the city that August day. He and his colleagues from a local radio station were doing a live promotion at a Little Caesars pizza shop, but they decided to wrap things up early. While his co-workers waited for a few pizzas to go, Romero took the opportunity to solve his phone issue. “My cell phone, it’s old. No one had a charger like mine, and my battery was dying, so I headed to Office Depot to…

WASHINGTON, D.C. -(Ammoland.com)- A FOIA obtained by Cato Institute senior fellow Patrick Eddington shows that the United States Postal Service (USPS) inspectors have been monitoring pro-gun activists. The USPS Internet Covert Operations Program (iCOP) monitored the social media accounts of gun rights advocates from September 2020 through April 2021. The postal inspectors tracked the online activities of gun activists that attended Virginia Citizens Defense League’s (VCDL) “Lobby Day” and protests over the killing of Breonna Taylor. These actions alarmed Mr. Eddington. “The Post Office has no business devoting a cent of taxpayer money to monitoring groups involved in the political process,” Eddington told AmmoLand News. “Those officials who authorized…
As the Marine Corps focuses its attention on fights of the future, it’s no surprise that the service is undergoing significant changes. One of the newest is the activation of the 3rd Marine Littoral Regiment — the first such unit of its kind. Activated earlier this year, the regiment is intended to signify a major shift in the way the Marine Corps will operate in the Pacific. And one of the most impactful changes that have come from it, Marines on Oahu told Task & Purpose this month, is what a squad in the regiment’s littoral combat team looks like. Typically, a squad consists of…

Put simply, a forward assist manually forces the bolt forward if the cartridge doesn’t go into the battery. It is a physical option for resolving situations in which the return spring is unable to drive the BCG and bolt home. Read on to learn more. The side view of an AR15 forward assist and bolt carrier group from the Brownells “Smyth Busters” videos. The forward assist is a push-button assembly on many AR15/M16/M4 type rifles intended to help push the bolt carrier forward in situations where the return spring has failed to do so. This might be the result of more than…
Since the beginning of time, animals have used camouflage for survival. Animals conceal themselves from their predators as well as use camouflage to blindside their prey. Some animals, like the arctic fox, have evolved to change the color of their coat depending on the seasons to evade predators. Other animals, like the mimic octopus, can not only change their color to blend in with their environment but also change their shape and texture to mimic the surrounding environment, like rocks, sand, or plants on the ocean floor. Animals have also established a tactical way to move in their habitat to…
Somewhere in the deepest parts of the dark web, there’s a conspiracy afoot. Sowing division and tearing families apart, the war of the AR-15 Magazine rages on, and it’s not what we think. This isn’t the fight over what makes a high-capacity magazine, but over which one is the best. The factions are fuzzy, sometimes blending between polymer and metal construction, other times relying on reputation and history, but the truth about what makes an excellent AR-15 Magazine has to come out, and it’s not for the faint of heart. We concern ourselves with features such as construction, capacity, cost,…

In a preliminary hearing Thursday, the suspect pleaded guilty to charges of open murder and mutilation of a body after he killed, dismembered, and ate Bacon, a 25-year-old hairdresser from Swartz Creek. Video from the court, taken by MLive, shows the suspect’s attorney asking questions of fact before submitting his plea of guilty. A judge then spoke to the suspect. “The court agrees with the attorneys,” the judge said. “The court does find you guilty of open murder and dismembering a…
Meet the Davy Crockett: The words “nuclear weapon” and “small” typically don’t go together – and no one would consider the devastation that such a device could unleash to be small by any stretch of the imagination. Yet, during the Cold War, the United States Army developed what was actually the smallest weapon in the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) nuclear arsenal. It was the M28/29 Davy Crockett, essentially a recoilless rifle system that could be operated by a three-man crew. At the time, the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force maintained America’s strategic nuclear arsenal of long-range bombers as well as submarine and land-based ballistic…
I’m never planning on having kids. I would much rather own a Porsche and have a Portuguese water dog and golden doodle. Long term it’s cheaper, better for The environment and will never tell you that it hates you or ask you to pay for college.— David Hogg via Twitter https://twitter.com/davidhogg111/status/1571667750484860928?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1571668492708888576%7Ctwgr%5E3ba3e112d8bc40450cd04283ad7d7fcf9c2c3548%7Ctwcon%5Es2_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thetruthaboutguns.com%2Fyour-good-news-story-of-the-day-david-hogg-says-he-doesnt-intend-to-reproduce%2F Read this article in its entirety at The Truth About Guns.
