The Encryption Debate: Is Privacy More Important Than National Security?

The War on Gun Dealers
When I first read this article, it made me think about a gun shop in a town about 30 miles from me. For the longest time, it was the ONLY “grassroots” locally owned gun shop in town. It had been there since the late seventies and was locally owned. Due to the competition from an…
Awesome WW2 GunCam Footage with Ronald Reagan Narrating
I know there are tons of these types of clips floating around YouTube, but I thought this one was pretty cool. It shows some of the most hellish dogfighting of the war, as Germany threw all it had left at us as we pushed toward Berlin. It’s a nice touch too with that good ole’…

Active Shooter Scenarios should Drive your Firearms Training
By Hammerhead I am a big believer in having your firearms and self-defense training reflect the real-world threats that wait outside your comfort zone. When you look at the events in Paris, (Charlie Hebdo in January and the most recent attack in November) combined with the attack on the Police Officer in Philadelphia last week…
Texas News: The Agenda to “Re-Brand” and/or Do Away With Confederate History Continues
Once again we see History being stamped out in the name of “Political Correctness”. It amazes me how politicians up and down the chain on the Houston School board and in The City of Houston are more concerned with a School Name rather than a School’s performance record and if their students are actually LITERATE….
Military History: What the 173rd Airborne Looked Like Two Centuries Ago
Historic reoccurrence is a controversial concept. However, events, especially in military history, often take place in similar sites. The reason for this phenomenon is simple.
