You think everything is fine. You believe your hearing is normal. But people speak to you from the next room with their back turned and you miss it completely. Your spouse accuses you of selective hearing. You swear they never said that. The truth is harsher. Your brain has been quietly lying to you. You are not hearing entire words or sentences, and your brain fills in the gaps without asking permission. You feel normal. You are not. For me, it happened fast. After a short airplane flight, my hearing collapsed. Within days, I was stone deaf. Panic set in. I ran to doctors. An ear, nose, and throat specialist told me it was Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. Temporary, he said. Give it a month. You will be fine. I believed him and exhaled. A month passed. Nothing. I tested my hearing every day. Clapping. Voices. Telephones. Silence. I could not even use the phone. One month became seven. Seven months of isolation, fear, and professional damage. When sound finally returned, it was a cruel tri...

Government loves a good fairy tale, and the 911 system is their crown jewel. They never shut up about it. Slick brochures, patriotic commercials, smiling dispatchers wearing headsets. “Just call 911,” they tell you, as if that phrase itself were some sacred incantation that bends time and space. Here is the harsh truth. 911 is not a force field. It is a phone call. The best it can do is send people who are not there yet and will not be there when you actually need them. By the time they arrive, the stabbing is over, the fire is roaring, and the body is cooling. There is exactly one person guaranteed to be on-scene at the critical moment. You. Government hates that reality, because it ruins their favorite fantasy where you are a helpless dependent and they are the noble saviors. People call 911 because they need men with guns to stop monsters, and men with training to keep people alive and put out fires. That is fine, as long as you understand those men are incoming, not present. You ar...

Please stop pretending. New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022) is the law of the land. Not a suggestion. Not a political theory. Actual constitutional law. Meanwhile, in every big blue city, criminals roam like VIPs with lifetime memberships to the court system. Page after page of arrests. Case after case dismissed. Crime stacked on crime like frequent flyer miles. Accountability has left the building. So normal people finally wake up and say, “Maybe I should defend myself.” And what do they buy? Tiny, cheap pistols because that is what the culture told them to do. Then reality hits. Pistols are hard. They demand discipline, training, and real skill. Without those, a handgun becomes a noisemaker with anxiety attached. And that is when the political class starts shaking at the knees over the AR-15. Never forget the lives of you and your loved ones are much more important than the dictates of rogue politicians in the blue states. Here is the truth...

It is long past time for another federal amnesty for machine guns, suppressors, and all other items swept under the suffocating weight of the National Firearms Act. For nearly a century, our government has trampled on the Second Amendment, treating a constitutional right as a privilege to be taxed, restricted, and endlessly regulated. The plain truth is that the National Firearms Act was, and remains, an open violation of the right to keep and bear arms. Yet our courts have repeatedly turned their backs on this constitutional assault, refusing to restrain federal power or strike down the unlawful taxes and prohibitions that have smothered the freedoms of law-abiding Americans. In 1968, even Washington briefly acknowledged the injustice. During that rare moment, the government offered an amnesty, allowing the lawful registration of tens of thousands of NFA firearms, nearly 100,000 in all. But that mercy was fleeting; in the decades since, no administration has dared to extend such relie...
