It starts, as most government overreaches do, with a smile and a slogan. “Common-sense safety.” “Public protection.” “Progress.” In Canada, those words became the velvet glove around an iron hand — the one quietly prying firearms from the palms of citizens who never broke a single law. There were no midnight raids, no dramatic door-kicks, no revolutionaries storming Parliament Hill. Just paperwork, regulations, and a polite, bureaucratic coup carried out in the Queen’s English. Ottawa didn’t need to outlaw liberty all at once; it simply redefined it, one cabinet decree and regulatory amendment at a time. The result? Canada — the friendly…

In an industry where tech trends come and go, Aimpoint has done what few companies ever achieve: hit the 50-year mark without losing its edge. The Swedish optic maker that gave the world the red dot sight celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2025, and its dominance shows no signs of slowing down.

By 1975, Aimpoint was officially formed under the family-owned Sandberg Development. The company’s mission was simple but ambitious: build a sight that made shooters…
Russia just threw down the gauntlet. Their new 6.02×41mm prototype isn’t just another intermediate cartridge; it’s Moscow’s not-so-subtle way of telling NATO, “Your body armor won’t save you.” From the “Poison Bullet” to Today In the 1980s, the Soviet Union adopted the 5.45×39mm round for its AK-74 rifles. It earned the infamous nickname “poison bullet” thanks to its tumbling projectile that carved out horrific wound channels. Mujahideen fighters hit by the round often had to endure days without treatment, leading to infection, gangrene, and a reputation for grotesque battlefield injuries. Soldier of Fortune’s own Galen Geer even smuggled 5.45 ammo…

In three previous articles the author, a 68-year-old wilderness trapper from northern Saskatchewan, told of his life as a boy on the prairie, of his adventures in 25 trapline years, and of what he has learned about moose and other game in close to a half-century of hunting.

The Villa Verde Trail, a 27-mile path in northern Luzon, Manila, was a narrow, densely vegetated mountain path. Deeply entrenched along this trail was elements of Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita’s Shobu fighting force — 8,000 well-trained, disciplined and fanatical soldiers of within the Japanese army. The trail intersected Highway 5, a major Japanese highway and supply route. To eliminate the Japanese from Villa Verde would help to secure one of the few routes to the Cagayan Valley in Luzon. Gen. Walter Krueger, commander of the Sixth Army, knew the task would be no easy feat.“The enemy had made good use of…
This article was originally published by G. Calder at The Exposé. President Trump visited the UK this week, during which he urged Britain to use every tool available to secure the Channel. Claiming he saw “millions of people” flow into the US before his term, he told reporters that mass, unchecked migration “destroys countries from within” and advised Starmer, “I would stop it, and it doesn’t matter if you call out the military, it doesn’t matter what means you use.” Meanwhile, the Home Office has confirmed two removals to France under Britain’s new “one in, one out” pact. Supporters call…

Boone was present…
