Imagine my delight when I learned there was an anti-gun candidate for Montana Governor named Bussy Excuse me, “Busse.” (If you’re not familiar with what that struck-through misspelling means, Urban Dictionary can catch you up.) You see, our puckery little Democratic candidate is doing his best to hold in several years’ worth of hot air….
When it comes to gun laws, Massachusetts is nearly as bad as New York … just quieter. Massachusetts doesn’t have a divisive governor like Kathy Hochul, nor does it have the same extensive record of trying to dodge the provisions of the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision.

The Magnum Research Baby Eagle III has one impressive set of grandparents. From the tried-and-true, combat-proven CZ-75 design, which inspired the Israeli Weapon Industries Jericho 941, which then inspired the all-metal Baby Eagle. The all-metal Baby Eagle engendered the third-generation, polymer-framed Baby Eagle III, the lightest and most refined Baby Eagle yet. In this review, I’m taking…
We were all too busy laughing at Cheatle’s pathetic testimony to pause and laugh at Connolly’s pathetic questions. Let’s remedy that now! Did you tune in to the Congressional hearing when (former) Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle “testified” about her agency’s failures surrounding the Trump assassination attempt? During those hours, Cheatle stonewalled, obfuscated, gaslighted, and…
