Kevin O’Brien NY Boycott screen shot — closing in on 100 firms boycotting bad PDs. Many of you have read long-time gun blogger Sean D. Sorrentino before. But this week we salute him for making the New York Boycott List, a curated and growing list of gun and accessory firms that are telling New York law enforcement …
An Atlanta youth gang has watched too many Mafia movies: you know the scene, where the reluctant Mafioso has the organization’s retirement plan, or rather, lack of one, explained to him. Usually in the back of the head. “Never since I’ve been in law enforcement have I seen someone shot 15 times and live,” U.S. …
No, we haven’t become a sports blog. We’re referring to the battle of the Welcome Home Troops parades — a battle in which Mayor Bloomberg, who most emphatically does not welcome veterans to his fair city, has unilaterally disarmed. So in the Show-me State they rolled the floats, the vintage deuce-and-a-halfs, the veterans and the …

We recently discussed the future, if any, of the bayonet, a circa-15th-Century invention that turned a primitive musket into an even more primitive weapon, a pike. The death of the bayonet keeps being pronounced, and somehow the thing rises up as predictably as the bitten-bit actor in a summer zombie flick. Here’s a blast from …
Since 1988, a few short maxims, the Special Operations Forces Truths, have distilled the essence of what SOF means, does and is. The irony is that they were not written by any of the many legendary special operators: we do not receive them as part of our inheritance from Bank and Volckmann, Yarborough or Singlaub. …
First, we’ll warm up with the FBI. Then, we’ll single out a couple of recent disciplinary cases from ICE. From the Telegraph (UK): One male agent was sacked after police were called to his mistress’s house following reports of domestic incident. When officers arrived they found the agent “drunk and uncooperative” and eventually had to …
There’s only one Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and he has only one attitude to the nation’s veterans: To hell with ’em. We’ve recently seen how his cops and prosecutors threw a Marine in jail for gun possession, a very serious crime in NYC if you’re not a career criminal, who gets a pass. Then they threw …
Director Ridley Scott seems to do well in bringing nightmarish fictional dystopias to life, so he was an inspired selection for Jerry Bruckheimer and the producers of the movie version of Mark Bowden’s incredible non-fiction book,.
