Time for States to Reclaim Their Sovereignty

Shared from Zite   Before that happens, there remains a window of opportunity for advocates of state sovereignty to pursue a bold course toward reigning in federal overreach. While the notion of nullification has maintained popularity among constitutional activist groups, it lacks teeth in an era where the federal Supreme Court holds final say over conflicts between federal and state interpretation. Instead, states might consider reforms which would reinvigorate state legislative power over their federal delegations, deterring bad law before it happens.

Getting Back to Basics: Combat/Tactical Shooting and Gunfighting with Pistol, Carbine/SBR and Shotgun!

Shared from Zite   As a member of Army Special Operations for more than 16 years, I've shot countless rounds from pistols, rifles and shotguns. During my years as a tactical shooter, like most of my peers, I strove to improve on my tactical engagements, where speed and accuracy were essential to success. My teammates and I spent hours every day with our personal weapons conducting drills to the minutia in order to hone our skills and squeeze out the most performance possible. During all this time on the range, and during all of our experimenting with new techniques, the fundamentals of marksmanship remained constant.
