The U.S. House just did something huge—by a razor-thin 215-214 vote, they passed H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Packed inside that monster bill?
Section 2 of the Hearing Protection Act, which completely removes suppressors from the National Firearms Act (NFA).
That’s right—no more NFA tax stamps. No more paperwork purgatory. No more waiting a year just to protect your ears.
If I was a Boer in today’s South Africa. I would either get out of there or get a gun, a LOT of Ammo & as many like minded friends as I could find ASAP . All I can say is Thank The Lord that I am an American! Grumpy
NY Post – DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro notched a significant legal victory Monday after retired four-star Navy Adm. Robert Burke was found guilty of bribery charges related to a scheme to steer government contracts to his future employer.
Burke, who served as the vice chief of naval operations during part of President Trump’s first term, was convicted of conspiracy to commit bribery, bribery, performing acts affecting a personal financial interest and concealing material facts from the US after a five-day trial. Formerly the Navy’s second-highest-ranking officer, Burke is now the most senior member of the US military to ever be convicted of a federal crime.
“When you abuse your position and betray the public trust to line your own pockets, it undermines the confidence in the government you represent,” Pirro said in a statement after the verdict. “Our office, with our law enforcement partners, will root out corruption — be it bribes or illegal contracts — and hold accountable the perpetrators, no matter what title or rank they hold.” 
A man in Wichita, Kansas has been arrested for stealing a historic cannon from the Spanish-American War, in order to settle a debt with a drug dealer who was threatening him.
The story reads like something out of a movie.
After being unable to load the cannon into his car, he returned with tools and cut the cannon into pieces, then brought one of the pieces to the dealer in order to prove that he was trying to pay off his debt. The dealer was unimpressed.
A Kansas man reportedly stole an 800-pound historic cannon from a local park for drug money, according to newly released court documents.
An arrest affidavit, obtained by KAKE News, states that Gordon Pierce III, 37, told Wichita police officers that he believed his life was in danger after a drug dealer claimed that Pierce owed him money, leading him to steal the cannon for money.
The report states that Pierce told police he went searching for copper statues to steal to make money to pay back the dealer and found the 800-pound cannon on the morning of April 2…
Due to the weight of the cannon, Pierce told police that he and the homeless man were unable to load the cannon into his Chevrolet Tahoe, according to the report. Pierce also told police he tried to pull the cannon with his SUV, but the chain kept snapping…
Pierce reportedly told police that over the next several hours he used a Sawzall to cut the cannon into four to five pieces, which he placed in his Tahoe, leaving the largest piece of the cannon in his friend’s garage.
This is why we can’t have nice things. Also, it bears repeating that most criminals are not very smart.
