The car is racing across the high Utah desert, your foot pressed to the gas, but someone else is steering and you’re blindfolded — like a high-speed trust exercise with an Abu Ghraib aesthetic. As the hood is pulled from your head, you grab the wheel, scant feet and split seconds for quick decisions as…
18 USC 929(R) is another of the many unconstitutional bullsh!t laws foisted on the American citizen by politicians who knew f@ck all about the subject they were pontificating upon, and cared less about the Second Amendment.

The world’s largest fully suppressed range day evolved into an important gateway to the fastest-growing firearms accessory on the market. And in its second year at the Clinton…
Beginning in World War I, there was a serious debate over how to arm aircrews. Many pilots carried a sidearm before planes were even armed, and the apocryphal story concerning the beginning of aerial combat, is that the first “dogfight” was with pistols from passing pilots.
