Today, much of society seems to worship the military: “thank you for your service” and so much more is common, perhaps more than ever before, even in major wars. But at the same time, the way the military personnel is disgusting – especially on the part of government entities. We are reminded of Matthew 15:8: This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
Now, we here at TPOL in no way support worshipping the military. We point out the hypocrisy of those who do – one of many, of course.
Fox News recently reported on a GAO report about living conditions on military installations, making 31 recommendations that DoD is expected to have to implement after inspecting 12 different (unnamed) bases and posts.
The litany appears to be damning. Those of us with decades of military service, in some cases going back 60 years and more, know that most of these problems with barracks (dormitories to USAF and USSF folks) have been around for a long time. Those of us who are historians and especially those who ...
A common anti-Second Amendment talking point is that the Founding Fathers couldn’t possibly have imagined the evolution that firearms have seen since they had a key role in founding the United States. Of course, we know that to be untrue, due to the letter written to Congress in 1777 by Joseph Belton. In this letter, […]

This week on “Light Over Heat,” I talk about the TWO books I am writing on American gun culture, tentatively titled: GUN CURIOUS and GUN CULTURE 2.0.
In particular, I talk about what distinguishes them in terms of the substance and audience.
The explainer on the two books is only about 4 minutes long. The remaining 6 minutes of the video is me talking about how the book sausage gets made, the struggles I have had finding a publisher for the first book, and why I think I made a strategic mistake in the order I wrote them.

A surprise development has come to light in the Gun Free School Zone Case involving Gabriel Metcalf in Billings, Montana. As Gabriel was processing to be released from jail on his personal recognizance under the Federal charges, he was informed he could not leave. His attorney Russell Hart, is reported as saying no, we have an order from the judge for him to be released. Hart was then told the charges are not federal on this warrant; they are local charges.
The warrant had not been served, but the jail would not release Gabriel because of the existence of the warrant. No one could say exactly what the warrant alleged, because no one in the jail system or Gabriel or his Federal defender had seen the warrant as of early Thursday evening.

According to Public Information Officer Courtney O'Keefe, the incident started as a road rage confrontation between a 23-year-old man and a woman in separate cars. They were driving eastbound on 84th Street NE. At one point, the man got out of his car to confront the woman.
During the confrontation, the female driver informed the male driver someone was attempting to steal his car while he left it unattended.
When the man went back to the car, there was a physical altercation between the male driver and the 41-year-old man. The 23-year-old male driver then shot and killed the man attempting to steal his car, according to police.

Apparently the Hollywood writer's strike is over after five months, but the actors' strike continues. So we get the late night talk shows back... not counting that as a win.

While Judge Benitez’s ruling and reasoning were welcomed, it’s frustrating to many on the pro-gun side of the argument that judges continue to link the need for standard capacity magazines solely to domestic crimes. They should also be referring to citizens’ defense against government tyranny should the need ever arise as a justification for such magazines, as well as the possible need by citizens to protect the nation from foreign invasion sometime in the future.

Judge Overturns California’s 10-Round Magazine Limit—Again
Agreed. That Overton Window needs to be moved.
I'm sitting here looking for an adjustment tool to spin the screw on a Holosun 507k (which is a great CCW optic, don't get me wrong), and it's making me pine for the raw utility of the entire range of Trijicon MRDS sights... the RMR, SRO, RCR, and even the RMRcc ...which have elevation and windage screws designed so you can use the cartridge rim of a 9mm or 5.56 round to turn them in a pinch.
Not me but on loaves of bread.

Egypt purchased tooling for the Swedish AG-42 Ljungman in 1952, and adapted it to their 8mm Mauser caliber as the Hakim rifle. Later, they scaled the rifle down to 7.62x39mm as the Rasheed, and manufactured about 7,300 of them between 1966 and 1968. These rifles were issued to the District Ward Reserve Army (essentially a National Guard) and saw service in the Six Day War and the Yom Kippur War. Production ended in favor of AK pattern rifles, but the Rasheed is a very interesting and fairly rare Cold War rifle.
The Rasheed is one of only a few true direct gas impingement actions, with a tilting bolt to lock. It uses a 10-round detachable magazine, but was intended to be reloaded with stripper clips (interchangeable with SKS clips), and was not issued with extra magazines. The folding bayonet is very similar to that of the SKS as well. An adjustable gas regulator allows three different gas settings plus a cut-off position for firing rifle grenades.
A note on production numbers:
George Layman gives a number of 8,263 total produced, and this matches almost perfectly with the serial number database created by GunBoards forum ...
Over at Bobbi's blog, she mused:
"We've been sold a war on poverty, a war on drugs, a war on the border and a war on the sources of terrorism, but in every case, the conditions for victory are unclear, the price is higher than advertised and the sincerity of the pitchman is questionable."The whole "War on [Fill In The Blank]" is problematic as a mental construct. The concept of "war" promotes binary thinking, zero sum outlooks, and a willingness to transcend niceties and violate rights in pursuit of victory.

Previously the Mayo Clinic claimed Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine were “malaria drugs authorized for emergency use by the FDA during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the FDA withdrew that authorization when data analysis showed that the drugs are not effective for treating COVID-19.”
But now Mayo says:
“Hydroxychloroquine may be used to treat coronavirus (COVID-19) in certain hospitalized patients.”
This is kind of interesting and just proves that the FDA got into the business of prescribing medicine instead of approving it (for which they have now been totally slapped down). Just like ivermectin.

Everyone in the Fifty States that has visited a supermarket or drugstore or discount/big-box store knows that Halloween is less than six weeks away.
Like every other popular holiday in the States (and no doubt much of “Western Civilization”), Halloween has been commercialized and profit-maximized to what would once have been considered unimaginable heights. We’ve been seeing the displays of candy and costumes and especially (at least to us, the dread specter of “pumpkin spice” everything edible or drinkable) for weeks.
But it isn’t just merchants and manufacturers who seek to maximize profit (or its equivalent) from the holiday. So too are the SJW and Woke enemies of liberty. Especially those who wish to and work constantly to end freedom of speech in the world.
Recently, an associate of TPOL was told by her corporate headquarters that she can no longer use the word “spook” when talking to people at work. Either as verb or noun. She was corrected when she referred to this period as being the “spooky time” as the once-beloved holiday approaches. That, she was told, is a no-no.

Paul Lazarsfeld and Wagner Thielens Jr. surveyed almost 2,500 professors right in the middle of the Red Scare on whether or not they were self-censoring in light of the political climate. Nine percent of professors said they were, which by historical standards is really quite bad. Today, in 2023, that number is almost 90%.

And what was the self-censor rate in the USSR? My guess is 99.9% or higher. It is what communists do. They have to do this because the system is so broken it can only exist upon lies. The truth must be censored to avoid the abandonment and/or destruction of the communist organization.
A good rule of thumb is that the more acceptable censorship, the more the society depends upon lies to exist.
"At least six men and two vehicles were involved in the killing of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar outside his place of worship, according to video reviewed by The Washington Post and witness accounts, suggesting a larger and more organized operation than has previously been reported."Modi can deny it 'til he's blue in the face, but two cars and six dudes is a hit squad, not some random street beef. Either the Indian government ordered it, which would look bad, or the Indian intelligence services are going around conducting rogue rub-outs without orders, which would look even worse.
Gabriel Metcalf home at in Billings Montana.
On September 21, 2023, a detention hearing for Gabriel Metcalf was re-opened, with a motion granted to the defense by Judge Cavan. The prosecutor, Thomas K. Godfrey, had opposed the hearing, claiming there was no significant change of information from the initial detention hearing held on August 24, 2023. At the end of the hearing, Judge Cavan released Gabriel on his own recognizance, with restrictions, to his mother's home at 430 Broadwater Avenue in Billings, Montana, where he has lived for the past decade and more.

Just after 8pm last night, a man armed with a gun approached a victim in the area of 15th and Page and tried to rob him of his scooter.

The controversial Gun Free School Zone case where Gabriel Metcalf has been in pre-trial detention for a month has a detention hearing scheduled for 9 a.m. Thursday morning, September 21, 2022.
Russel Hart, the federal public defender for Gabriel Metcalf, asked for the hearing citing new evidence which was not available at the first detention hearing. The hearing was held shortly after Gabriel's arrest by what appears to have been an ATF/Billings Police Task Force. The prosecuting attorney Assistant United States Attorney Thomas K. Godfrey had opposed the re-opening of the detention hearing, indicating Judge Cavan had sufficient information; that no significant new information was offered.

Officers say they received a 911 call reporting a break-in involving two men wearing masks and dark clothing.
They say the son of the caller got a gun and fired on the suspects. One was hit and killed. The second suspect jumped a wall and took off in a gray sedan, according to the residents and officers.
A short time later, police got word of a reckless driver in a car matching the suspect vehicle near Tropicana Avenue and Jones Boulevard. That same car was involved in a crash with two other vehicles near Tropicana and Decatur Boulevard.
Officers say the driver of that car had a gunshot wound to his leg connecting him to the alleged break-in.
The customer opened fire after two men broke in and tried to rob the establishment, police said. Authorities initially identified the shooter as an employee.
The two robbers, at least one of whom was armed and dropped his gun, fled the scene. The suspect who was hurt ended up in the parking lot of a nearby Northgate Market, where he was taken into custody by police officers and transported to a hospital. The other suspect managed to get away.

The Stanley Bull-Dog revolver is an English-production revolver which is marked as being “Hill’s Patent”. The gun uses an interesting simultaneous ejection system similar to the Fagnus – which one assume was the subject of Hill’s aforementioned patent. The guns were made in a variety of configurations (blue, nickeled, various barrel lengths and calibers, etc).
Hill’s actual patent (number 3645 of 1878) is actually a provisional patent relating to the lockwork that turns the cylinder. In fact, the ejection system used on the guns was invented by a Belgian named Jean Mathieu Deprez-Joassart five years earlier in 1873. Deprez-Joassart did patent the mechanism, and Hill appears to have simply claimed the system as his own and convinced a British gunmaker to pay him royalties for guns made with it.
Thanks to Select Fire Weaponry of Waukesha, Wisconsin for loaning me this revolver to film.
Thanks also to Littleton.Be for use of photos of Deprez-Joassart revolvers – you can see their whole page on the man here:

I'm not sure if you all remember Ibram Kendi (born Ibram Rogers), who coined the term anti-racist and made big bucks off off the term, but was unable to define it when asked (pro-tip, in order to state or set forth the meaning of a word, the word in question should not be used---otherwise it's circular and dumb).
He got his own center at Boston University (Dr. Ibram X. Kendi’s Center for Antiracist Research) that raked in millions and millions of dollars from outside donors. Over $43 million, as a matter of fact.

Predator hunting is as old as the need to keep the fox out of the chicken coop, but more and more people are beginning to embrace their roles in stewarding natural resources by trying predator hunting. My first post in predator hunting included getting the right gear and rifle set-up for the task. Next, in this series on “Predator Hunting Part #2,” it’s time to gain understanding of predators and how to find them and stop them. Let’s talk about getting out there and reducing the predators who want your chickens, or Bambi, for their midnight snacks. Here are more considerations for you to think about before heading out.
