By a Long Shot

The previous record of 4 miles set in 2020 was defeated by a 4.4-mile target hit in the high desert of western Wyoming. The bullet took 24 seconds to hit the 8-inch bullseye… [More]

‘Activist Investor Lawfare’?

KE Arms Sued: What GWACS Armory Doesn’t Want You To Know — A Lawyer Explains [Watch]

As I indicated earlier, I don’t know anything about this and won’t have time to learn. There’s only one of me and the plate is overflowing with other priorities and commitments already. Full disclosure: I didn’t even have time to watch this 19-minute video in its entirety, either.

I’ll stipulate up front I have no familiarity with these products, this situation, or any of the players and claims involved, and can’t foresee making an effort to find out more.

I think I’ll do an article on this — just know that right now, there are already three in the queue ahead of it, so it’ll probably be a few days.
