(Continued from Part 1. This concludes the article.) Some of the erroneous assumptions and operating principles that Western governments of today have been utilizing in their social planning schemes are these six stupid ideas: 1. The stupid idea that people and institutions can become perfect. The perfectibility of institutions and people is contrary to all natural law and historical precedent. People are imperfect by their nature and institutions which are composed of people are imperfect. 2. The stupid idea that economic output is everything which can be expressed as a regularly reported number which can be measured, and the number…

Armed Citizen® Today A scheduled custody exchange in the parking lot of a Cleveland police station on July 22 apparently turned into a heated argument between the father of the child and two women, one of whom was the mother, but eventually the parties disengaged and drove away.

The women returned to the police station, managing to enter the parking lot, but the father again rammed their vehicle there. The women and child left the vehicle and attempted…

Ask a half dozen hunters what makes the perfect UTV setup, and you’ll get six different answers. None of them are wrong.The UTV that hauled me around the Idaho mountains chasing bugling bull elk looked a lot different than the rig I use to hunt the soggy river bottoms back home in eastern North Carolina.Out west, a hunting rig needs to handle long climbs and steep terrain. At home, it’s more about mud, thick brush, and hauling deer. If it’s duck season, it might also end up loaded with decoys and an impatient retriever. And that’s the thing about building…

Taurus took the concept of a revolver that chambered both shotgun and centerfire cartridges and ran with it when the company introduced the original Judge in 2006. Over the past two decades, Judge models have remained popular, and the company has continued to add new variants and features to the lineup.

The new Taurus Judge is still a five-shot revolver that chambers both handgun and shotgun cartridges. The new Judge has a re-contoured frame, barrel and cylinder.…

On a recent ride to the grocery store, I pointed out a flock of geese to my daughters. My five-year-old piped up and told me she wanted to shoot one of them with her bow. I didn’t point out the legal or logistical barriers to her endeavor, but I did feel a huge sense of pride welling up.

While there’s a fine…

History repeats itself because mankind rarely pays attention to its own past. A quick look at the calendar recently revealed the fourth anniversary of the full-scale war in Ukraine. Since the Russian invasion in late February 2022, we’ve witnessed the largest military action in Europe since World War II. The scale of the destruction and the casualty numbers are staggering. Nearly 1.2 million Russian troops have been killed or wounded, along with more than 500,000 Ukrainian. Civilian casualties in Ukraine have reached 60,000.
