Sure, anyone can split a playing card with a .22LR, right? How about through the center of a Girl Scout Samoan cookie without harming said sugary treat?

Well it’s not just anyone in this case, but backyard rimfire extraordinaire .22Plinkster at work and surely he can get it on the second try at least– those cookies get expensive after a while.

From inside the Multnomah County jail, with a copy of the United States Constitution in his pocket, Ammon Bundy did a recent one on one interview in which he talked about life behind bars, the standoff and what it stood for, the death of LaVoy Finicum and a plea to the American people.

New video footage was released Tuesday evening of the encounter between Oregon protesters and law enforcement that left Robert “LaVoy” Finicum dead.

The video gave some greater insight into Finicum’s last minutes before he was shot and kille, but The Oregonian stepped it up a notch, zoomed in and slowed the video, showing Finicum’s hands were clearly in the air when bullets shattered the driver’s side back window of his truck as he stands just feet from it.

This panel discussion featured NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, Townhall’s Kimberly Corban and Mercedes Schlapp of Cove Strategies.

The event was organized by CPAC and NRA as an answer to the President Obama-CNN anti-gun townhall, “Guns in America.” The pro-gun rights advocates discussed the importance of the right to bear arms in America.

That master of the rimfire penetration video, 22Plinkster, answers the burning question that is, “Will a .22 go through a steel toe boot?”

After first verifying the combat boots are steel and not faux or phenolic, Plink uses some CCI Stingers fired through first a Browning Buckmark, then a Henry lever action rifle which provides a little jump in velocity, to do the field research.

Because, Science!

Earlier this month the carrier, while underway, consigned the mortal remains of six former service members to the embrace of the deep.

The Navy’s Burial at Sea Program continues a tradition dating back to the earliest days of mariners lost while on the waves. It allows deceased active, former and retired personnel of any of the uniformed services, as well as civilian mariners of the Navy’s Military Sealift Command and dependent family members to be committed to the deep.

While family members cannot attend as the ship is underway at sea, the commanding officer will notify survivors of the date, time, and coordinates where the committal was performed.

It turns out presidential hopeful Ted Cruz has some rather unexpected hobbies, like eating human hair and twerking. In fact, Cruz may be able to give Miley Cyrus a run for her money in a twerking contest any day of the week.

Okay, maybe not.

But “Bad Lip Reading” has put together a hilarious campaign ad full of voice overs. And when they say bad lip reading, they don’t mean bad like can’t read the teleprompter bad, they mean bad like okay, you should just be quiet now.

In classic, non-politically correct Saturday Night Live-style, the folks over at NBC took advantage of the political playground and asked “real Americans” what they think about Donald Trump as a potential candidate for president of the United States.

While those queried appear to be just average, ordinary Americans, their true colors start to show around the 0:44 mark.

Former first lady Nancy Reagan died Sunday at the age of 94 from congestive heart failure.

According to a statement from Joanne Drake, spokeswoman for the Reagan Library, Mrs. Raegan will be buried next to her late husband, Ronald, at the library in Simi Valley, California.

Nancy married Ronald Reagan in 1952 and the couple had two children. Mr. Reagan served two terms as United States president, during which time Mrs. Reagan founded the “Just Say No” campaign.

Later in life, Mrs. Reagan spent much of her time to caring for Ronald, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 1994. Ten years later, Nancy lost her husband of more than 60 years to complications from pneumonia. He was 93.

A couple of police officers from the Palisade Police Department in Colorado recently made a rather uplifting remake of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing.”

The introduction says it’s “to our brothers and sisters behind the badge nationwide,” and the police department posted it to their Facebook page with the caption:

We know it’s been a hard year so far for our law enforcement family. Always remember the brotherhood that we have and know it will always keep us together as we push through the struggle, don’t stop believing.

The post has since garnered over 1.2 million views, nearly 30,000 shares and over 3,000 comments, most of which are positive and encouraging. (Note: Watch to the end)

A Vimeo channel dubbed “Handgun Safe Research” released a video review of the Minivault Biometric GV1000S, a handgun safe that features a thumbprint reader to unlock the safe.

In the description of the video, the channel states: “Though it is a fancier, more expensive device, the GVB1000 is no more secure than the less expensive model; the mechanical components of the locking mechanism are accessible through holes in the side of the safe.”

The safe is one of more than 100 brands pre-approved by the California Justice Department and certified for sale.

Recent headlines have been filled with cases of students facing charges after using what is deemed by some as threatening emojis on social media and text messages.

Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of “The Young Turks” take a look at some of these instances and their perceived threats. Kasparian also compares these cases to other acts, such as publishing personal information about public figures, actions which are clearly terroristic in nature and meant to incite violence.

The good folks at The Shred Box show you the details of how to tell the rough “born-on” period for your Glock factory magazine.

When you take into account that the G17 went through at least 17 different variants between 1982 and 2010 alone, this is a watershed video for those of you with a ton of old Glock mags from a number of sources.

Switching between magnum pistol primers and 209 shotgun primers with no powder, TwangnBang made up a fresh batch of .45 Colt Jello rounds just like Mom used to make.

Using no gunpowder and some extra gooey strawberry Jello in a wax bullet system, he experiments between the two primer-only loads and got some really nasty results as the heat of the explosion burnt the gel, solidifying it on impact.

Maybe good for low-budget special effects on Indie movies on a non-OSHA compliant set though.

Cue the Cosby jokes here.

With the Golden Raspberry Awards out, it turns out 50 Shades of Grey picked up five Razzies and some 5.56mm love to boot.

The Razzies, held just after the only slightly more coveted Oscars, salute the worst that Hollywood has to offer each year and in their 36th consecutive embrace of the suck, handed 50SOG awards for worst actor, worst actress, worst screenplay, worst screen combo and the big enchilada, worst picture.

With that in mind, Richard and the Full Mag gang let rip on a copy of the film with a super sweet 10-pound SAW K as a coup de grace to help put down the wounded animal.

In more proof that the Richard and the FullMag guys have too much money on their hands, they drop a thermite grenade on a limo. (Kinda)

Ostensibly it’s a plug for the upcoming Gerald Butler movie London Has Fallen, and they didn’t actually have a legit thermite grenade– so they used a clay flower pot with 2-3 times the amount of thermite found in an actual TH3 grenade, then blew the whole thing up for effect.

Which should satisfy some of the inner pyro in you.

A guy intent on robbing a restaurant last week didn’t take into account one of the victims being armed as well, and the moment the tables were turned was captured on surviellence video.

The two men were standing at the counter when the suspect suddenly pulls out a gun and presumably demands money. The clerk empties the register as the customer calmly empties his wallet, waiting for the opportune moment to make a move.

In one fluid motion, the customer hands over his cash and grabs his gun from his waistband. Within seconds, he has the suspect on the floor surrendering.
