Aussie Madness

by Pawpaw in PawPaw's House on 2025-12-16T16:09:00Z

 It seems that in the wake of the Bondi shooting over the weekend, where Muzzie gunmen went berserk on a beach where Jews were celebrating, the Australian government is considering stricter gun regulations.

ABC News reports:

State and territory leaders have agreed to strengthen Australia's gun laws in the wake of the Bondi terror attack.

One of the two shooters had held a gun license for a decade and possessed six firearms. 

 Odd, I thought that murdering people was already against the law in Australia.

Weatherby has introduced two new dangerous game hunting versions of their Mark V bolt action rifle, dubbed Frontier  and DGR . The main differences between the two rifles are in the furniture and chambering options. Weatherby advertises these new products as rifles engineered to operate in the extremes and deliver when every moment matters.

Cold Snap

by Tam in View From The Porch on 2025-12-16T13:27:00Z

We're off to an unusually snowy start to the winter in Indy, having already gotten over a foot, total, for the season. We also just had an unseasonable cold snap, too. Note that the two are not necessarily connected. It can be extremely cold and not snow, and it can snow rather a lot with a temp in the low thirties, which isn't particularly cold for winter in these parts.

The thing about these arctic dips is that the polar air mass is like Mother Earth's beret. When she pulls it down rakishly low on one side, that means it's hiked way up on the other.

The cold snap is past, though, and we're supposed to be back into the fifties on Thursday. They're calling for warmish weather all next week, too.

South Dakota Governor Plans to Deregulate Suppressors

by Dean Weingarten in GUN WATCH on 2025-12-16T12:34:00Z



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.

FL: Ft. Lauderdale - Gunfight in Home, Police Investigate

by Dean Weingarten in GUN WATCH on 2025-12-16T12:33:00Z

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.

Preparedness Notes for Tuesday — December 16, 2025

by James Wesley Rawles in SurvivalBlog.com on 2025-12-16T07:04:02Z

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 …

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 …

POTD: Small Arms Training Aboard USS Milius

Today’s Photo of the Day shows U.S. Navy Sailors assigned to the Seventh Fleet conducting a small arms live-fire exercise on the flight deck of the guided-missile destroyer USS Milius (DDG-69) while underway in the South China Sea. Live-fire training at sea is said to allow crews to maintain weapons proficiency in the same environment where they operate daily, reinforcing safety, discipline, and readiness under realistic conditions.
In 2024, Remington (now part of “The Kinetic Group”) introduced a whole bunch of new ammunition lines, including several different variants of .22LR ammunition. One of those was their new Remington “Ranch Hand” ammunition, which we’ll be looking at today. Ranch Hand is an almost perfect name for the ammo if you’re trying to get people to think of it as workhorse pest-control ammunition, and today we’ll largely be judging it with that kind of performance in mind. Over the last 6 months or so, I’ve shot a collective 300 rounds of this stuff, and I have a few thoughts on what I think might be the best I’ve seen yet from Remington’s growing arsenal of .22 LR ammunition.

Optics Planet

 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.

Lawsuit over FedRAMP compliance

by Borepatch in Borepatch on 2025-12-15T14:16:00Z

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?

Theon International Plc has announced what is described as the largest single night vision procurement ever placed by a European NATO member.

(Oh, I forgot the NFL gets pissy about embedding its vids. Anyway, if you don't feel like clicking through to YouTube, it's Rivers' first TD pass since 2020. He seemed pretty happy.)

What a loss...

by Tam in View From The Porch on 2025-12-15T13:33:00Z

The sun went down on Saturday with the news of the shooting at Brown University in Rhode Island and rose on Sunday with reports of an antisemitic terrorist attack in Australia.

Then on Sunday night comes the news from California, where Rob Reiner and his wife had been found stabbed to death in their home in the Brentwood neighborhood of LA. The danger here wasn't a random shooter or an ideological terrorist; no, the suspect in the double homicide is the couple's own adult son.


I immediately thought about 99-year-old Mel Brooks, who has already buried his best friend, Carl Reiner, and now will be attending the funeral of his friend's son, who was practically a nephew to Brooks.

What a legacy Rob Reiner left, though! From his acting role as Mike "Meathead" Stivic in All in the Family to maybe one of the most amazing decade-long streaks in motion picture directing history, starting off with the iconic mockumentary This is Spinal Tap in 1984, followed by...



Knight’s Armament Silent Revolving Rifle

by Ian McCollum in Forgotten Weapons on 2025-12-15T13:27:28Z

In the early 1990s, Knight’s Armament was approached by an unnamed agency looking for a very specialized weapon. It needed to be a repeating firearm that left no brass behind while being effectively silent and [...]

The post Knight’s Armament Silent Revolving Rifle first appeared on Forgotten Weapons.

I recently picked up a bottle of Blackened Whiskey, curious to finally try this collaboration between the band Metallica and the late master distiller Dave Pickerell. Naturally, I paired the pour with a Blackened M81 cigar. The M81 itself is also a collaboration — this time between Drew Estate, Metallica co-founder and frontman James Hetfield, and master distiller Rob Dietrich, who has overseen Blackened Whiskey since Pickerell’s passing.



Blackened is a blended American whiskey, composed of straight bourbons, ryes, and other American whiskeys. Although it has been on the market since 2018, I had never gotten around to trying it. Interestingly, it was being served at the Metallica concert we attended earlier this year at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, VA — but only mixed with lemonade, with no straight pours available — so I passed.

The whiskey’s claim to uniqueness lies in its aging process. Barrels are placed in a room exposed to low-frequency, high-amplitude sound waves generated by curated Metallica playlists. These vibrations are said to increase interaction between the whiskey and the barrel wood, resulting in deeper flavor extraction.

On the nose, the whiskey presents relatively mild aromas of dark honey and caramel, along with soft sweet fruit notes. The palate delivers brown sugar, warm rye-like spice, and more sweet fruit, accented by a touch of smokiness. The long, spicy finish gradually grows sweeter as the evening progresses. Overall, I found the profile to lean toward the sweeter side, though a subtle spice keeps it from becoming cloying.



I’ve had a few Blackened M81 by Drew Estate cigars — a 5” x 43 Corona vitola — resting in the humidor since picking them up at a Drew Estate event in May 2024. These have been well-aged, as I held a couple back specifically for an eventual pairing with Blackened Whiskey.

The foot band proclaims “Maduro to the Core,” a reference to the wrapper, binder, and filler all being Maduro tobaccos, contributing to the cigar’s rich and intense character. The wrapper is Mexican San Andrés Maduro, the binder Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro, and the filler a blend of Nicaraguan Maduro and Pennsylvania Broadleaf Maduro, including bold ligero leaf.

The cigar delivers a robust flavor profile of dark chocolate, cocoa, and espresso, with black pepper undertones throughout. Perhaps due to 18 months of rest in the humidor, this particular example seemed slightly less intense than I recall from earlier experiences, though it remained full-bodied and richly flavored. As with the prior ones smoked, the draw was on the tight side.



Going into the evening, I expected the cigar might overpower the blended whiskey, despite the creators’ intention that the two be enjoyed together. Instead, the whiskey’s sweetness softened the cigar’s pepper and density — again, possibly influenced by the cigar’s age.

In the end, I enjoyed the Blackened pairing overall. The tight draw of the cigar proved distracting and limited some of the flavor expression. I’ll happily sip the whiskey neat again, though I suspect it would pair even better with a sweeter, creamier cigar. The ongoing search for better sip-and-smoke combinations is what keeps this hobby interesting.

Cheers!

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.

Minuteman Titan Rocket Stove, by Thomas Christianson

by Thomas Christianson in SurvivalBlog.com on 2025-12-15T07:04:10Z

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. …

Happy Chanukah

by Glenn B in BALLSEYE'S BOOMERS on 2025-12-15T00:19:00Z

 A happy Chanukah to all who celebrate it. Yes, I realize that Chanukah in 2025 has been savagely marred by the terrible attack in Australia and it will make celebrating this joyous holiday much harder to enjoy but Chanukah is a celebration of victory, of rededication of the holy temple and of hope for the Jewish people that their faith would survive. Thus, I can only wish you a happy one despite the terror of that attack.

My wife found this perfect Buck 110 lockback at the side of the road.  It slips out of my pocket too easily, so i ordered an add-on clip from NWLynch.  I needed to tap 2-56 holes.  And yes, for all the tips and drills that I own, I needed to buy both.

It holds in my pocket very nicely.

Hanukkah 2025

by Dave Markowitz in Blog O'Stuff on 2025-12-14T16:08:00Z

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".

I also saw over on X that per Israeli TV, supposedly the Mossad warned the Australian government of an upcoming terrorist attack. See: https://x.com/yudapearl/status/2000197269858271283

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.

In the aftermath of October 7th I put together a PDF book, "Guns for Jews," which is available for free from my Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18GXFERy8nH1iM6ERtLs-PXX3qXDo5C0K/view?usp=drive_link


*Absolutist, as in it is my belief that all Americans should be able to purchase military grade arms anonymously online and have them shipped to their door. Further, Constitutional Carry should be the law of the land.

MD: Security Officer Shoots Aggressor During Fight

by Dean Weingarten in GUN WATCH on 2025-12-14T12:41:00Z

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.

Surfing the net this morning, I found this video from Forgotten Weapons, talking about a French dueling pistol from the early 1900s.

As you know, I participate in the sport of Cowboy Fast Draw, which uses wax bullets against steel targets.  I had no idea that the French dueled with wax bullets.


Our club had its end-of-year banquet today where we gave away end-of-year awards.  We will start back shooting in January when we begin our competition season.
