Sorry, President Obama. As young women, we prefer an AR-15 “assault” rifle with a 30-round magazine for self-defense.
In fact, we wouldn’t want to be stuck at home without one. In the wake of mass murders like Sandy Hook and the horrific rapes and murders of thousands of women each year, pepper spray, mace, or five-round handheld pistols aren’t going to cut it. Continue reading “Why Young Women Want AR-15s”

Her office told the Washington Times she will hold a press conference Thursday.

Snipers are among the most valuable assets a military can deploy in battle and have become a pillar of modern US counterinsurgency tactics. While mile-and-a-half-long shots are possible, they’re not all that common. But with DARPA’s new One Shot XG scope system, any ol’ Killroy will be able to accurately fire an M24 up to a mile.

Israeli King Benjamin Netanyahu narrowly won reelection to his post as Prime Minister. Benny had planned a hard right wing regime with an emphasis on further settlements upon the lands of the Palestinians. It is being said now, however, that he will have a tough row to hoe in implementing his plan. Could it be that the people of Israel have seen the writing on the wall and realized that Benny is and has been leading them into extremely dangerous waters?
It has actually been quite quiet here in the United States in reference to Israel as of late. Could it be that a part of the awakening that has led to one consecutive month after another of record gun and ammunition sales includes the realization as to what Zionism is?
