How big? How fast? How deep? And what’s the tip like? The sweet science of ballistics measures our ability to self-defend in velocity, mass, speed, and construction. From point of aim to point of impact, the bullet describes a parabola with a right end and a wrong end. The right end is, of course, behind…
Memorial Day is more than a three-day weekend. Is it fortunate that, as the memories of war and the old soldiers who fought them fade away, so too does the fire and light of Memorial Day? Would the soldiers who lost their lives so we could hang on to our freedom be saddened that so…

The next time someone tells you that gun manufacturing “isn’t rocket science,” tell them about Jacob Grey Firearms. Ever seen the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey?

How would you create the perfect strawman gun-grabber? I know what I’d do. I’d start by taking an avowed Communist and dressing her up in $2,000 designer dresses that say “eat the rich.” I would then surround her with taxpayer-funded armed security. I’d make sure that she was always ready with a newsy quote about banning…

It means “extraordinary.” Extraordinary because we’re giving away not one gun, but four; extraordinary because we’ve collected the best of the best in gear; extraordinary because this comprehensive kit can scale up or down from “quick trip to the grocery store” to “aliens have landed…
Please be careful where you send your donation dollars … Today, we have a particularly disturbing report, courtesy of our friends at the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF).
