I have worked with Dr. Will Dabbs for much of my career as an editor and consider him to be both an exceptional contributor and a good friend. No matter the deadline or the assignment, I always know that I can count on him to deliver a well-rounded, thoroughly researched and — most importantly — utterly entertaining article. I also know that I can count on him to be a total “gun and movie nerd” and go all the extra steps required to ensure his work stands apart from the pack — which you will see examples of in this very article.

A civilian shooting instructor at the Letterkenny Army Depot pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter for the shooting death of a soldier at the facility earlier this year. According to information filed on Monday in a Pennsylvania federal court, 38-year-old Sean Stark admitted to conducting “firearms training in a grossly negligent manner and with reckless disregard for human life” when he shot and killed 18-year-old PFC Krystofer Lopez. In a press release, U.S. Attorney Brian D. Miller called the “circumstances” of the March 12 incident “heartbreaking” for Lopez’s family. “I hope this prosecution brings some relief for the family while ensuring that justice is delivered,” he added. Official details about the incident are scarce, as authorities have offered little information about it in court documents and public statements. However, the family has shared the details of their conversations with investigators. The victim’s parents, Carmen and Hector Lopez, told the local NBC affiliate WGAL that Stark failed to comply with training protocols. They explained that he was supposed to keep his pistol loaded outside the facility and unloaded inside the facility. While he did the former during a smoke break, he did not do the latter. Describing video from inside the classroom,…

It’s cold, it’s dreary, there’s lake-effect rain coming off Lake Erie, it’s miserable and it’s time for another edition of Wednesday Screencaps.Yes, I’m sick to my stomach this morning as it looks like Jaxson Dart is done for the season. I was feeling so good about that Giants OVER 7.5 wins. They had the young QB. They had the meathead running back. They had the wide receiver. They had a fairly favorable schedule.It’s all over. Meathead Jameis is now handing off to meathead Skattebo and then throwing the ball at the feet of wide receivers on five-yard pass plays. Guys, I apologize if you threw down money on the Giants on my advice. I didn’t think the QB would go down in Week 2.JAXSON DART KNEE INJURY EVALUATION CONTINUES WITH SERIOUS POSSIBILITY HE MAY MISS THE REMAINDER OF THE SEASONSpeaking of football, let’s attack a legitimate concern that I brought up to the FCC on Monday – the NFL Sunday Ticket commercial. I’m talking about the Jason and Kylie Kelce commercial that people are being bombarded with.It’s a serious question. If we pay for it, why don’t I get a moment of zen, or a moment of NFL history, as…

Well, congratulations, social media — you’ve officially ruined Arch Manning. Nice work! He’s now another robotic athlete with no emotions and, frankly, no personality.Well done!Manning, the biggest name in college football, was dragged through the mud last week because he laughed at an AI video of head coach Steve Sarkisian slapping ESPN reporter Holly Rowe. It was a silly video. It was clearly AI. It all stemmed from Sarkisian essentially blowing off Rowe, and ESPN, following Texas’ stunning Week 2 win over Ohio State.Take a look:TEXAS COACH STEVE SARKISIAN’S AWKWARD ESPN INTERVIEW DIVIDES INTERNET DURING TEAM’S WIN OVER OHIO STATEThat moment went viral, and led to several AI-generated videos of the interaction, including the one Manning mentioned in his press conference last week. He was asked about the interaction, and briefly talked about seeing all the reaction videos on X, including the AI one with Sarkisian slapping Rowe. REPORTER FOR THE ATHLETIC FUMES OVER ARCH MANNING, SILENT ON JOSH JACOBS’ ALLEGED VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMANYes, it was a silly video. Yes, it was a poor choice of words from Manning. And yes, the internet — and the virtue-signaling media — got so outraged by it, that Manning, and Sarkisian, were forced…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Six weeks before the midterms, President Donald Trump is complicating one of Republicans’ central campaign arguments against Democrats — warmly praising New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani after repeatedly warning voters about the rise of socialism and communism on the left.”I want him to be a great mayor, and he’s certainly got potential, got great potential,” Trump told reporters as he patted Mamdani on the back after the two leaders met Monday at New York City’s Gracie Mansion.The meeting, where the two leaders discussed cost of living and housing issues, isn’t sitting well with some Republicans fighting to keep control of the House and Senate in the midterms.”All of it is self-inflicted, off-message, not helpful,” a GOP strategist who asked to remain anonymous to speak freely told Fox News Digital. “None of these candidates out in these states, where these races are tighter and more competitive than they should be, are helped by any of this.”MAMDANI TELLS TRUMP BANNED NEWS OUTLETS ARE WELCOME AT NYC MEETING Another Republican consultant, who also asked for anonymity, argued, “This is a president who is in a fully self-indulgent period. It doesn’t seem like he really…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani fired back at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday after the Israeli leader accused him of supporting Hamas terrorists and inciting unrest against Jewish New Yorkers, escalating their long-running feud days before Netanyahu is expected in the city.When asked by reporters about Netanyahu’s video, Mamdani rejected the prime minister’s accusations.”We all know that what the prime minister has said in that video is not true,” Mamdani said. “What we do know to actually be the truth when it comes to the prime minister is that he is the subject of an International Criminal Court arrest warrant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.”NETANYAHU ACCUSES MAMDANI OF ‘FOMENTING HATE,’ SAYS RHETORIC IS MAKING NEW YORK JEWS AFRAID The ICC issued the arrest warrant in November 2024 over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity, but Netanyahu and the Israeli government have rejected the allegations and challenged the court’s actions.Mamdani went further, leveling additional accusations against the Israeli leader days before he is slated to speak at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.”And as the prime minister, he is the architect of horrific genocide…

After more than 125 years, the old toggle-top Luger still exerts its pull on some of us.Addiction takes many forms, and my current addiction is the Luger pistol. This classic handgun goes by several monikers, including P08 (Pistole 08 in German, referring to 1908, when the Imperial German Army formally adopted it), Parabellum (from Latin, “prepare for war”), and, less formally, ‘toggle-top’, a reference to its operating mechanism. However, Luger—named after its Austrian inventor, Georg Luger—is its most common designation.In all its models and variations, the Luger pistol is arguably the most collected and sought-after handgun in the world. Its nearest competitor is likely the iconic Colt Single Action Army revolver. From the moment I first experienced the feel of a Luger in my hands, I wanted one. Fate being fickle, my dream of ownership wouldn’t be fulfilled for 57 years. That’s one long wait.As this writer discovered, and as the author of “Valley of the Dolls”, Jacqueline Susann, somewhat notoriously put it, “once is not enough.” In short order, one long-wait Luger became three. Will it end there?Addiction is not easily cured.The mystique of the Luger and its addictive qualities are undeniable. A pioneering handgun design introduced in 1898,…
