South Dakota Governor Larry Rhoden has announced one of his priorities for 2026 will be to deregulate Silencers in South Dakota. Governor Rhoden stated he announced his decision support on December 4th. From dakotabroadcasting.com:
After congress passed the One Big Beautiful Bill earlier this year, silencers or suppressors were deregulated on a federal level. Governor Rhoden says he plans to bring legislation to deregulate these firearm accessories on the state level…
December 8, 2025, South Dakota Senator Casey Crabtree announced he is introducing a bill to deregulate silencers in the state. Governor Rhoden announced his support for the measure shortly after Senatore Crabtree. Brandon Maddox, CEO of Silencer Central also pronounced his support. From dakotawarcollege.com:
“Silencer Central is proud to support South Dakota’s proactive deregulation of suppressors as ‘controlled weapons,’ and we hope the federal government will quickly follow our home state’s pro-gun, pro-freedom initiative,” said Brandon Maddox, founder and CEO of the Sioux Falls-based suppressor retailer. “Earlier this year, we won a huge national victory as the One Big Beautiful Bill removed the $200 stamp fee on suppressors and other common firearms. Now, Senator Crabtree’s bill carries that momentum forward for South Dakota.”
Senator Casey Crabtree is a Republican and Majority Whip in the South Dakota Senate. Bills he introduces have a habit of being passed. He is running for the United States House of Representatives in 2026. The South Dakota United States House member, Dusty Johnson, will be leaving office to run for the South Dakota Governor's office in 2026.
When both the Governor and the Majority Whip in the Senate openly support a bill where their party has overwhelming supermajorities in both the Senate and the House, the odds of the bill becoming law are very good. The South Dakota Senate has 3 members of the Democratic Party and 32 members of the Republican Party. The South Dakota House has Six members of the Democratic Party and 64 members of the Republican Party. The South Dakota Legislature will open their 2026 session at noon on January 13, 2026. The timing of a bill is subject to many internal legislative dynamics.
A bill has yet to be filed, because the South Dakota legislature is not in session. South Dakota CHAPTER 37-35 states that silencers made of basic materials in South Dakota are not subject to federal regulation, as long as they stay within the borders of South Dakota. South Dakota 22-14-6 prohibits possession of controlled weapons, but exempts anyone who:
(2) Has a valid state or federal license issued pursuant to law for such weapon or has registered such weapon with the proper state or federal authority pursuant to law;
The definition of controlled weapons is found in 22-1-2(8):
(8) "Controlled weapon" includes any firearm silencer, machine gun, or short shotgun, as those terms are defined in subdivisions (17), (23), and (46) of this section;
Analysis: One method to remove the state regulation of silencers in South Dakota may be to remove the word silencer from 22-1-2(8). Silencers would no longer be considered "controlled weapons", if this reading of the law is correct. More details will be revealed when a bill is introduced to the legislature.
Silencer Central may be the largest manufacturer and distributor of silencers in the United States. Silencer Central is based in South Dakota.

Upon arrival, police said they found Daniel Neish walking toward them with gunshot wounds to his legs and hip while holding a handgun.
Officers said they secured the gun and provided “tactical medical aid” before Neish was eventually taken to Broward Health Medical Center for treatment of non life-threatening injuries.
A second man, who said he was inside the house at the time, told police that Neish pointed a gun at him, and he fired back in self-defense, according to investigators.
Cellphone video appears to show what went down after one man pulled a knife and the officer pulled a gun.
Officials say the confrontation escalated when the driver of a Volkswagen, 31-year-old Wallace Fisher, got out of his car and approached the driver of a Toyota.
Police say the verbal altercation at the driver's side window turned physical and Fisher allegedly pulled out a knife and took a swing inside the car.
It is unclear in the video if he is holding the knife as he takes a swing.
"The boy swing, he punched him and immediately three shots went off," Eyewitness Rob Parker said.
That is when the driver of the Toyota, 33-year-old Anthony Simon, an off-duty Kingston police officer, discharged his firearm and shot Fisher, authorities say.
The shooting happened after a man, identified by Harrison County Coroner Brian Switzer as Dangelo Rayjvon Murphy, 29, forced his way inside with a hammer and a knife and attacked two women who live in the home in an alleged act of domestic violence.
“As he gets in, they go to barricade themselves in a room,” Ducré said. “He starts slashing at them. One of the women had defensive wounds on her.”
While Murphy was trying to break into the room where the injured woman had taken shelter, the second woman retrieved a gun and shot him, Ducré said.

December 16th is remembered as the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, in 1773. This destructive act of civil disobedience was led by the Sons of Liberty in Boston, in protest of the 1773 Tea Act, which had imposed a 3 pence tax per pound of tea. In contemporary valuation, that equated to an 18% tax on the value of tea. News of the Boston Tea Party prompted the British Parliament to pass The Intolerable Acts (a.k.a. The Coercive Acts, or the Insufferable Acts), which were a primary catalyst for America’s War of Independence. — The Romanian Revolution began on …
The post Preparedness Notes for Tuesday — December 16, 2025 appeared first on SurvivalBlog.com.
Many preppers have their priorities out of alignment. From my experience, many focus almost entirely on the how of preparedness—what supplies to stockpile, what gear to buy, or what skills to learn. Much of this is driven by one-size-fits-all recommendations that may not fit their specific situation. At the same time, attention is often focused on dramatic, low-probability events such as economic collapse, EMPs, or pandemics, while far more likely threats are overlooked. Now, I’m not saying that supplies, gear, skills, and major threats aren’t important—they are all extremely important for preparedness. Food, water, medical capability, tools, and training are …

This is perhaps the Platonic Christmas song.
In 2007 I ordered a rifle scope from Optics Planet. It took about four weeks for trhe scope to hit my mailbox. I thought that was odd, but I wasn't that concerned about it.
I admit that I have been spoiled by Amazon. If you order something, it is dropped off three or four days later. Amazon has really revolutionized shopping in this country.
So, on November 28th I was looking for some optics and when to Optics Planet. They had what I wanted at a good price, and their Black Friday deals were happening. The website claimed that the item was in stock. I ordered my product and went on to other things. Today I checked and they don't expect to shop until December 18th.
In 2025 it takes 20 days to ship an item that is in stock? I don't know about that. It seems to me that Optics Planet needs to step up their game on shipping orders.

Earlier this month, the Canadian government announced record harvests of spring wheat and canola for 2025. And because most of the grains produced in Canada are shipped and consumed abroad, those gains have major implications for the rest of the world's ability to feed itself affordably.
Australia, another large global grain exporter, has also reported rising crop yields despite drier conditions.

This is perhaps a niche security topic, but some of you are as niche as me:
The US is suing a former senior manager at Accenture for allegedly misleading the government about the security of an Army cloud platform.
Danielle Hillmer, 53, of Chantilly, Virginia, is accused of deceiving auditors over the capabilities of a service the government commissioned in 2017.
Although it is only referred to as Company A in the court documents, Hillmer claimed to work for Big Four consulting firm Accenture during the stated timeline, according to a now-deleted LinkedIn account.
The US alleges that between March 2020 and November 2021, Hillmer obstructed federal auditors and falsely represented the security of the company's cloud platform, which was used by other government customers beyond the Army.
Perhaps not security per se, but this raises the question of just how much do you trust the audit process?

Billboards advertising guns and gun events are becoming more common.
Elon Musk has championed the First and Second Amendments in the United States Bill of Rights. However, X, formerly Twitter, has a policy which forbids the promotion of weapons and weapons accessories around the world. In effect, this bans paid advertising for all weapons and weapons accessories, even so far as to include airsoft guns, air guns, paintpall guns and imitation guns. From business.x.com:
This policy applies to monetization on X and X’s paid advertising products.
What's the policy?
X prohibits the promotion of weapons and weapon accessories globally.
Examples of weapons and weapon accessories include:
- Guns, including airsoft guns, air guns, blow guns, paintball guns, antique guns, replica guns, and imitation guns
- Rental of guns (other than from shooting ranges)
- Stun guns, taser guns, mace, pepper spray, or other similar self defense weapons
- Swords, machetes, and other edged/bladed weapons
- Fireworks, flamethrowers, and other pyrotechnic devices
- Knives, including butterfly knives, fighting knives, switchblades, disguised knives, and throwing stars
Most large platforms have caved to anti-Second Amendment propaganda. The X policy probably pre-dates Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter. Elon Musk has been a strong proponent of the Second Amendment. The X policy on weapons could change in the future, as these decisions are privately made by each platform.
Comcast Corporation, banned advertisements promoting guns or gun sales in 2013. Time Warner banned some gun advertising in 2013. From opb.org:
So what this means is that the main sort of conventional media channels for advertising of other consumer products are not available to gun manufacturers. For example, Comcast and Time Warner have initiated bans on firearms in 2013. Other major television broadcasters like ESPN and Fox and CBS do not accept advertisements for firearms or ammunition. And major digital and social media platforms like Google, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, prohibit ads for firearms and ammunition.
Such broad bans are having unintended consequences. Advertising is decentralized today and targeted. Nationwide TV ads may not be cost effective for firearms. This may not hold true for X, or Facebook, or YouTube.
Being banned on large platforms sends a subtle message that guns are bad. The absence of gun advertisement is unlikely to convince anyone that guns are not useful. Programming, both fiction and factual, show many example where guns are used for positive purposes. Anyone who studies history sees many examples where those with guns rule those without guns. Advertising bans on major outlets and networks push people who sell guns and related products to advertise in other ways. In today's fractured and partisan media, this means gun related channels such as AmmoLand, and popular gun influencers are able to attract more advertising dollars. People who are interested in purchasing guns find them in places where guns are valued.
It is similar to what happened after the Gun Control Act of 1968. The act pushed most casual sellers of guns and ammunition out of the marketplace. When this correspondent grew up, it appeared about half the retail outlets sold guns and ammunition. It was common to see them sold in many different stores. After 1968, gun sales moved into specialized gun stores. The gun stores became centers for the spread of political information, and nodes of political networks to organize gun owners. They still serve that purpose. The Internet has become a more effective method of organizing and informing Second Amendment supporters. Influencers on the Internet provide more specific, accurate, and detailed reporting on Second Amendment issues than anything on old large legacy media.
This correspondent would like to see Elon Musk make a political statement by allowing for firearms, ammunition and accessories to be advertised on X. It could help X stand out from Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and others. It could enhance X's reputation as the freedom brand. Elon Musk would gain credibility as backing his views with his actions. This correspondent does not worry about it. Elon Musk has already demonstrated he is a Second Amendment advocate.
The effort to ban gun advertising has backfired. It has not worked. Consider the number of guns in today's society. Since the Internet became popular, about 1995, the number of private firearms has skyrocketed. In 1995 there were about 243 million privately owned firearms in the United States. In the last 30 years, the number has increased to about 540 million, (as of December, 2025) an increase of nearly 300 million firearms in 30 years. The number of firearms per person in the United States has increased from .890 in 1993 to about 1.57 firearms per person in the USA today, based on 540 million private firearms in the USA and a 2025 population of 343 million.
Some of this stupendous increase is because firearms today take much less labor to make, distribute and purchase. They are often of better quality. The same goes for ammunition. Firearms and ammunition today take much less of a person's time to acquire.
The nature of reality itself plays a role. Firearms increase an individuals personal power. A person with increased personal power has advantages over those without. Firearms are great equalizers. A 100 pound woman with a pistol can intimidate a 250 pound man without one. When both have firearms, parity is accomplished.
The ban on advertising for weapons has not had the effect those who pushed for it desired. Society has moved to re-establish the Second Amendment as a guarantee of empowerment for the weak and a limit on government power.

During a verbal argument, a 25-year-old woman and 28-year-old man "both produced a firearm," police said.
When officers arrived, they found the woman on the floor with multiple gunshot wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Minuteman Titan Rocket Stove has a shell around the body of the stove that is filled with ceramic fiber insulation. This ensures that a large portion of the heat produced by the stove goes up the chimney to cook whatever is on the grate instead of being randomly dissipated in all directions. Once the stove is hot, this feature greatly accelerates its cooking speed in comparison with a similar uninsulated stove. With a weight of 35 pounds, the Titan is best suited for use at a fixed location or in conjunction with wheeled transport. The Titan is fairly expensive. …

In case anyone wasn't paying attention we got another example of what "Globalize the Intifada" means today.
Once again we see a terrorist attack on Jews on a religious holiday. This time in Australia. An Australian spox on TV said that at least one of the perps was on their radar, "although not for terrorist acts".

On the eve of Hanukkah, the holiday in which we celebrate our triumph over the Greek invaders who desecrated the Temple, we are once again reminded that secular governments will not protect us.
Nobody, Jew or gentile, who is defenseless is protected from harm. The right to self defense is the most basic of human rights. A disarmed populace is deprived of its most essential right to life.
Make no mistake, gun control is EVIL. It disarms victims but never keeps their oppressors from hurting them.
As an American, and as a Jew, I am a Second Amendment absolutist*. I'm a an Endowment Life Member of the NRA, and a Life Member of Gun Owners of America and the Second Amendment Foundation. I've donated to the Firearms Policy Coalition as well.
I'm armed to the teeth -- as ALL good Americans should be. It's been a long standing source of frustration for me that too many of my co-religionists can't get their heads out of their asses on this issue.
There are many Jewish Americans who have woken up to the need to be armed. Not enough, but it's happening.
As for Israel's gun laws, they are a major reason why I'd never consider living there, permanently or even temporarily for work. Israelis basically live in one of the shittiest neighborhoods on the planet, surrounded by people who want to exterminate them, and their government denies them the means for effective self defence. Fuck. That. Shit.

MUNCIE, IN — City police said a Muncie man attacked several employees and patrons at a south-side tavern before he was shot by one of his victims on Tuesday, Dec. 9.
The gunshot wound that 53-year-old Larry Robert Scott received was not life-threatening, authorities said Tuesday night.
On December 8, 2025, at approximately 11:50 pm, officers responded to an adult establishment in the 5300 block of Sheriff Road. Officers located Hunt inside suffering from gunshot wounds. He died at the scene.
The preliminary investigation suggests the decedent was involved in a fight involving several other patrons. The security guard was alerted to the altercation. While interacting with the group of patrons, the security guard discharged his weapon, striking and killing Hunt. A second firearm, not belonging to the security guard, was recovered at the scene.
Investigators are working to determine the sequence of events leading up to the shooting. They are collecting additional evidence and conducting additional interviews. Detectives are also in consultation with the Prince George’s County State’s Attorney’s Office. At this time, there have been no charges filed in connection with this investigation.

When they arrived, officers found one person on the floor with an apparent gunshot wound in his upper left thigh, according to the incident report. The injured person told officers he did not see the shooter, know the shooter or know what they were wearing, the report states. He said that he was shot and then ran into the laundry mat before exiting. Officers discovered a spent 9mm casing next to the injured individual, as well as an unused 9mm round and a 9mm projectile that was found inside the laundry mat.
According to police, 30-year-old Ricardo Alonzo Diaz told officers that he was homeless, going around the 2700 block of W. 23rd Street, and checking doors to see if they were unlocked. Diaz reportedly told police that he came across an unlocked door, went inside the home, ate some food, and left.
According to police, Diaz told officers that he returned later. That second time, he wasn't so lucky, as the homeowner returned. Police say the homeowner shot the suspect with a .22 revolver. The suspect had a knife in his hand at the time, the police department says.
