Gunfire at a protest outside the United States consulate in Karachi turned a political rally into one of Pakistan’s deadliest recent street confrontations, with reports that more than twenty people were killed and over one hundred injured. Witness accounts, video from the scene and early official statements suggest that a mix of local security forces…
World War I has inspired some of cinema’s most searing stories, from mud-soaked trench dramas to sweeping desert epics. The strongest films about the conflict do more than restage battles; they interrogate power, class and memory, and show how an industrial war reshaped the twentieth century. Taken together, they form a kind of parallel archive,…
Firearms training is supposed to make students safer, more confident and more competent, not anxious about whether they will leave the range in one piece. When an instructor is careless, unprepared or more interested in their own ego than in student safety, the smartest move can be to step off the line and walk away….
The Best 9mm Self-Defense Ammo — Tested and Ranked If you carry a 9mm for personal protection, your choice of ammunition matters more than the rollmark on your slide. Modern bullet design has come a long way, but not every hollow point performs the same when you push it through denim, wallboard, auto glass, and…
If you’ve been hunting or shooting long enough, you’ve seen it: a rifle that was “dead on last year” suddenly printing three inches off at 100 yards. Zeroing isn’t complicated, but it’s easy to do it halfway and call it good. That’s how misses happen on opening morning. A proper zero is more than chasing…
When you’re choosing a handgun for self-defense, you’re betting on reliability, shootability, and practical performance under stress. That means manageable recoil, consistent triggers, usable sights, and enough capacity to solve a problem quickly. Some handguns miss that mark. They may be fun at the range, historically interesting, or easy to conceal, but when you measure…
Walk into any gun shop in 2026 and you’ll see something different from a few years ago. First-time buyers aren’t pointing at whatever’s in the case and filling out paperwork. They’re scrolling ballistics charts, asking about optic footprints, comparing trigger systems, and double-checking state transport laws before they ever commit. You can thank a mix…
The pump-action shotgun that startled German commanders in World War I was a relatively simple weapon, yet it triggered a legal and diplomatic fight out of all proportion to its numbers in the field. When American troops carried short-barreled “trench guns” into the mud and wire of the Western Front, they forced governments and lawyers…
If you’ve spent any time at a gun counter lately, you’ve probably noticed something: the used rack isn’t gathering dust anymore. Rifles and pistols that once sat for months are moving in days. Prices aren’t always bargains, either. In many cases, they’re creeping close to new-gun territory. This isn’t random. A mix of economic pressure,…
If you care about the Second Amendment, you already know the real action isn’t always happening in Congress. It’s happening in courtrooms. Since the Supreme Court’s decision in Bruen, lower courts have been wrestling with how far gun regulations can go under a “history and tradition” standard. Some laws have survived.
