Anyone who understands that the essence of American freedom is that we have the right to defend our lives with modern and commonly owned tools we call guns, must then feel frustration whenever they read or listen to mainstream-media members who not only don’t understand this, but are also opposed to this foundational principle of our individual liberty. So, why is so much of the mainstream, legacy or corporate media opposed to our right to keep and bear arms? There are real answers to this question. To answer it, let’s begin with a classic film you likely have not heard…

In 2021, Springfield Armory made a splash with its SA-35 design, a modern rendition of the famous Browning Hi-Power handgun. Recently, the company has since expanded the lineup, adding a polished blued finish version and, now, a shortened, compact variant in the SA-35 4″.

I’m still reeling over what happened on the recent Easter Sunday.  It was early in the day when I trekked down to the barn to check on one of my heifers that was due to calve.  I had been watching her carefully as we got closer to her due date.  She wasn’t over-due.  In fact, she was right on time.  I had purposefully not made any Easter plans so I could be home if there was trouble.  And indeed, there was trouble. Her water broke at about 7:30 a.m. and I waited and waited for those two little hooves to…

The National Post, a Canadian news source, reports that “the majority” of law-enforcement agencies across Canada are disregarding their federal government’s mandated Assault-Style Firearms Compensation Program (ASFCP). Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba have recently been joined by Yukon and Northwest Territories police and police-union officials in announcing that they would not be participating. One official noted “significant gaps” in the program and noted that their forces “must focus on initiatives that have the greatest impact on community safety.” Another official stated outright that if gun owners didn’t proactively turn in firearms, “We’re not going looking for you.” Read the full…
