Republic of China (Taiwan) Using Airsoft To Prepare For Invasion By Communists
From Unreported World (BBC):
First Responders Are The People Who Are Present When An Incident Takes Place
From Ammoland:
In reality, those professionals customarily considered “first responders” are, in fact, second or third responders to dangerous situations. It is critical to the Second Amendment movement that it is understood that the real “first” responders are almost always ordinary American citizens. The citizen who first encounters the person having a heart attack in the mall; the citizen who sees the criminal holding up a cashier across the street; the citizen attacked by a violent thug; the citizen who notices that the neighboring house is on fire: these are the true first responders.
How To Give Good Advice As A “Gun Person”
From The Truth About Guns:
If you should find yourself in a position where people are coming to you for “gun advice,” that can be an ego boost. You’ve been a gun person your whole life and now your neighbor Jim has come to you wanting to know which gun he should buy to protect his family.
The first thing you should do before you offer any advice is to take a deep breath, park your ego, and ask a few of questions to the person seeking your counsel.
Is There A Coordinated Attack on Civilian Ammo and Training?
These recent events could just be a coincidence:
ATF bans less-lethal training ammo:
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE, aka the ATF) has directed the Ultimate Training Munitions company to cease all sales to civilians in the United States, leading the company to announce it will no longer sell to civilians.
Rumor Biden admin orders Lake City to cancel civilian contracts:
However, we started hearing from a number of people late this week that Lake City had moved to cancel all of its commercial contracts. We’ve also been told that distributor supplies of .223/5.56 had begun to be drained, as a result of the move by Lake City and in anticipation of higher civilian ammunition demand following last week’s terrorist attacks in Israel. Then Staple Defense published this report.
One woman died and two men were injured Friday morning in an explosion at a Hornady Manufacturing plant west of Grand Island.
Biden Does 180, Signs Bill Funding Hunting and Shooting Sports
From Fox News:
President Biden signed bipartisan legislation Friday that reverses his own administration’s decision to defund school shooting sports courses nationwide.
The president signed the Protecting Hunting Heritage and Education Act, which restores federal funding for elementary and secondary school hunting and archery programs after the Department of Education began withholding such funding earlier this year. According to the White House, the legislation “clarifies that Federal funds may be used to provide certain weapons or training in the use of weapons within educational instruction or enrichment activities.”
Range Buddy App Will Help You Practice At The Range
From The Truth About Guns:
The Range Buddy app is basically a digital book of drills and qualifications that you can do at the range. Having it on my phone makes it extremely convenient to reference while at the range. I don’t want to dig through pistol-training.com to find the right drill when I’m at the range (RIP Todd). The Range Buddy app is an expansive list of drills and a few police quals that seem to be slowly expanding.
Shooting Sports Coming Back To High School
From The Reload:
High schoolers are falling in love with competitive clay-target shooting.
“In the beginning of my shooting journey I became hooked because it felt like the first thing I was pretty good at and I felt like I could excel at,” Brendan Birch, a recent high school graduate who competed for the Frederick Stars and Stripes, told The Reload. “What continued to grow my connection to this sport is the friendships and advice received from everyone around me.”
The Stars and Stripes are a clay target club team based in Frederick County who competes statewide in the Maryland Clay Target High School League and nationally in the USA High School Clay Target League. Both leagues are divisions of a broader organization, the USA Clay Target League or USACTL.
Defending Schools With Armed Teachers
From Slow Facts:
The solution is obvious, if invisible. The researchers who study school security told us what to do over a decade ago. Murderers stop killing our kids when they face an armed defender. The defender’s response time predicts the body count. The SRO can’t be on the bus before school and on the bus after school, but the bus driver can. The SRO isn’t at the choir practice before school, but the choir director is there. After school, the SRO can’t be at the ball field and in the music room at the same time, but the coaches and band director are certainly there.
Armed defenders are better than the statistics would indicate. The advantage of volunteer school defenders is that they are close to every student all the time. A mass-murderer never knows who is armed and ready to stop him.

Biden Admin To Pull Funding From Schools With Hunting Programs
From Bearing Arms:
According to federal guidance circulated among hunting education groups and shared with Fox News Digital, the Department of Education determined that, under the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) passed last year, school hunting and archery classes are precluded from receiving federal funding. The interpretation could impact millions of American children enrolled in such programs.
