The victim was saved by fast-thinking and -acting firefighters from FDNY Engine Company 9: Ming Guang Haung, 28, was arrested on Sunday after he allegedly used a meat cleaver to hack and slash at his wife. “He pulls a cleaver out of his waistband and starts hacking at this …
As gadget-minded gun guys, we’ve followed the development of TrackingPoint’s precision-guided firearms with great interest. We received an email from TP today with some of their latest, including a video with a little bit about their testing procedures, and a slight tease about their development process.

It was buried in an episode of “The Big Picture”; a syndicated TV program produced by the US Army from 1951 through 1964 (I’m not sure exactly …
What, no more Kalashnikovs? This overheated Russian report says that the Russian forces have stopped buying Kalashnikov rifles — and are even considering foreign weapons. The report’s from last September, but every once in a while someone in the Anglosphere discovers it, and next thing you know we’re hearing that Ivan’s 70-year love affait with …
It’s not all that special… it’s “just” a gun blog. But Everyday No Days Off, or ENDO as it’s called in the community, is one of our favorites. It has a certain… attitude. We were reminded of that when we saw the image here linked at GunsSaveLife.com, with a hat tip to ENDO. The graphic came …
