Trauma kits and summer

Summer is here, and as we start to venture forth in to the world from our various bunkers, I started to wonder about the EDC trauma kit I carry, and how it looked a bit silly with shorts: If you don't have an SFD Responder, you need one. Comfortable, durable, and...

Not So Hidden Humor in Gun Owners’ YouTube Videos by Connie Hassett-Walker

In my work on gun culture, I have systematically avoided collecting systematic data on gun culture online. True, I have spent time with and attended a seminar by YouTube star John Correia of Active Self Protection.

Soundbites make for terrible policy

I know. We live in a world of soundbites. Particularly in the political realm. From "Lock her up" to "Zero-tolerance policy" towards undocumented immigrants, sadly the first round of Democratic debates in 2019 did nothing to improve this situation. To be fair, the...

Are we about to Lose our Rights?
