He was preoccupied with reattaching the severed tip of a finger, which he had hacked off earlier in the day with a machete as he trimmed birch branches above a bear bait. Over the next week, as I cleared trails with Popov, wrangled his 4-wheeler through the bogs of northern Saskatchewan, and hunted black bears in his company, he would occasionally unbandage the finger, urinate on it, and then rewrap it with…

Gun owners who have spent years navigating the paperwork jungle of the National Firearms Act just got some long-overdue good news. The ATF is proposing to remove the Chief Law Enforcement Officer (CLEO) notification requirement from Form 1, the paperwork used when making an NFA item such as a suppressor, short-barreled rifle, or other regulated firearm.

The summit carried the same energy as the Biden-Harris era’s gun control task forces, except this time, Everytown had to pay for it themselves. Without the defunct White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention to fund the…

The more famous of the two was the Eighth Air Force, the strategic arm whose four-engine bombers devastated Nazi Germany’s industrial capacity by day, while Britain’s Royal Air Force pounded it by night.
