GAW Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 Public Show Titles Dear WLS Question from Jakey Poo from Indiana Dear WLS Attention fustercluck, Jakey Poo here, I have a classic rifle I'd like to hang on my wall somewhere, but I don't want it to sit up there and deteriorate. What should I do to it, to make it last? I do want it to remain functional, even after a cleaning, not necessarily straight off the wall, and it has wooden parts. Not sure if that makes any difference in regards to oils etc. Thanks lady-boys. Question from Jeremy from Nebraska Jeremy from Nebraska. I haven't been listening long enough, but I'm curious what Shawn's problem is with Taurus. I know they're budget guns but their recent stuff seems to be pretty reliable. Show me on the doll where they hurt you.? Question from typicalpnwguy from Oregon Hey cult daddy's, I've noticed that Primary Arms hasn't been mentioned and is no longer the title sponsor. Why that be yo?Ps… I love you, say it back -typicalpnwguy WINNER Question from K.Y. Horseman from Oregon Dear WLS K.Y. Horseman SBR question Going to buy a Henry Supreme, and deck it out with Midwest furniture. I want to SBR it, but I don't know anyone around me that I trust to do it. Was going to send it to Jermey and let him do it, but don't know how to do the NFA paperwork since I'm sending it out of state to SBR it. Do I form 1 it before I send it to Jeremy? Can he ship it back to me after the work is done? Help me Thanks Question from Anonymous Coward from Texas Lucky BrainlessI have a question on how you identify the caliber of a barrel. I recently found several ARs I had put up pre-covid. The issue is I don't remember which are 556 and which are 300 blackout. How can I verify so I don't load them with the wrong ammo? I would rather not have to take them apart, or blow them up.

Officials determined that all alleged uncommanded discharges were traced to the trigger being pulled, with no mechanically caused accidental discharges ever recorded. Firearms mishaps represent less than 0.006% of all MHS pistols issued; the Pentagon attributes safety concerns to public speculation and online misinformation. The Gist: The Gist: Pentagon investigation concluded no mechanical failures in M18; all incidents resulted from trigger pull, including the fatal airman case initially misrepresented (two airmen pleaded guilty to false statements).

Defensive Line Starts at 0:54 The defense is older and more experienced overall compared to the offense, but there are some holes to fill. John Henry Daley transfers from Utah and claims to be ready to go. Aidan Hutchinson as his ceiling might be tough coming off of an injury, but Aidan Hutchinson's 2021 season was also coming off of an injury. There's also a version of JHD where he's not all the way back and is only pretty good. The other starter is either Cam Brandt or Dom Nichols. We're not hearing a lot about Nate Marshall. Benny Patterson, on the other hand, could be a guy that's coming on. A lot of the defensive ends have some experience and are just waiting for their turn. Defensive tackle is not as deep, has some question marks, and doesn't have an established star. Trey Pierce could be solid. Enow Etta has a chance of taking a big step forward. By the end of the season he was the one still standing up against Ohio State. Seth is not high on Jonah Lea'ea. Palepale is probably the 3rd defensive tackle, he's a big dude. Don't give up on defensive tackles. Everyone wants Alister Vallejo to be the high riser, the Mason Graham comparisons are out there. Bobby Kanka flashed in the spring game. Defensive tackle seems like a not great situation overall - there are a couple guys who are serviceable to good and then a lot of questions marks. You always need at least four. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP] 2. Linebackers Starts at 33:40 The group that is probably the most uncertain, more-so than defensive tackle. They had a first and second team of linebackers that have left after last season. We get to see Cole Sullivan again this year after he transferred to Oklahoma. Nate Staehling is the guy we're most excited about, the transfer from North Dakota State. It would be so lovely if he was a generic Iowa linebacker! He has the ability to take on a lead block. The other portal takes are much less inspiring. Troy Bowles, Chase Taylor, and Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng are the other major contributors. A lot of them look like safeties. Chase Taylor has high shoulder pads! Staehling probably starts with Bowles? After these three it drops off pretty quickly. The recruiting class has three guys that all ranked in flyer territory. Nobody in the program is complaining about defensive tackle, but there are a lot of concerns about linebackers. Keep the top guys mostly healthy and you've got a shot, though. 3. Hot Takes and Secondary Starts at 53:56 Takes hotter than that other week this summer that wasn't even Art Fair but it was like 100 billion degrees and Brian was sitting outside watching his kids play tennis badly. This is a surprisingly veteran group! Not a lot of questions at cornerback, your starters are Jyaire Hill, Zeke Berry, and they import Smith Snowden from Utah. Jyaire Hill has first round upside and this year should be a star. Zeke Berry is at least solid but is he better than that? Could Shamari Earls start over Zeke by the end of the season? The other cornerbacks are Jo'Ziah Edmond, I'Marion Stewart, and Jamarion Vincent. Vincent is a freshman and Stewart is a flip from wide receiver; they're not generating a lot of buzz. Seth is ridiculously high on Smith Snowden at nickel. At safety - is Rod Moore going to be healthy? He says he's healthy but he's on a pitch count. If he's healthy and he's Rod Moore he's one of the best safeties in the country, but he might not be Rod Moore. Chris Bracy transfers in from Memphis and is one of the best transfers in the country. He's a huge asset in stopping the run. Too bad he's not big enough to play linebacker. Mason Curtis got a lot of experience last year and is the 3rd safety, he'll get a lot of opportunities this year. Jordan Young has some upside despite inexplicable snaps last season. 4. Special Teams and Overall Thoughts Starts at 1:28:04 This defense feels like it's going to be pretty decent but there are a lot of questions. If you get the ceiling of a lot of guys on the edge and maybe Staehling then they could be really good. But the middle of the field and the backup defensive tackles are shaky. Will it be fine and are we just spoiled as Michigan fans? There are a lot of guys that will be big pieces on the defense in two or three years and they're on the roster right now. The secondary will be especially exciting if Rod Moore is back, but could weird teams like Iowa take advantage of what Michigan's missing? Also, Michigan has a college defensive coordinator and not Wink Martindale. Michigan imported Trey Butkowski (kicker) and Cam Brown (Aussie punter). Pat Narduzzi was really mad that he lost his kicker so he must be really good. He's not Moody or Zvada but he makes a lot of kicks. The 25 yard line is probably field goal range now, rather than the 35, Justin Turner is your likely comparison. Cam Brown's an odd one. He's a Hudson Hollenbeck comparison but kicks it a little further. Michigan's long snapper, Gavin Magorien, is the only Michigan player on the Freaks List this year. Who do you want returning kickoffs, Moa? And Andrew Marsh on punts?

We win national championships and commit crimes, we are now an SEC program. Michigan has a good dude in Kyle Whittingham now, though! Everyone deserves a freshly showered Brian Cook. What's your excitement level going into this season? It's nice that there are adults in charge now. Some of the things that felt 'off' last season make more sense. There aren't many players on offense this year who you wouldn't project to come back next year, it's a big building year. We're in 2015 mode right now. They actually imported an entire wide receiver room. It feels like Bryce lost a year of development but at least he goes into this year knowing what to expect. The strength and conditioning should be greatly improved, it's telling when coaches leave somewhere and end up at a worse program. 2. Quarterback and Running Back Starts at 25:15 It felt like last year was a lost cause. Pass protection wasn't good enough because the line was super young, the wide receivers were... not sufficient enough. Tyler Huntley in his second year at Utah ran probably three times as much as Bryce, he's still in the NFL with the Ravens. The potential is still there but it feels like he's still a freshman. They ran Bryce like you would run John Navarre, thinking nobody will expect this! This year it will be a team that runs the quarterback. This is the most talent Kyle Whittingham's staff has ever had, they come from a college background and should be excited to execute with it. Bryce struggled passing last year but he was thrown into a bad situation with his receivers. Do you think Bryce will have fewer pass attempts this season? Physically Bryce is everything you could ask for, he just needs to get there mentally. He hasn't been golfing this offseason. Progress is not linear, he might not look great early but hope for him to get slowly better over the course of the season and have a watershed moment by mid-season. Some QBs you can tell just aren't happening in the spring game, but Tommy Carr was happening. Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi is here but did not enroll for spring, he's a multi-year starter at Colorado State but lost his job. Chase Herbstreit and Brady Smigiel... don't exist right now. Running back is similar to last year where the one-two punch is among the best in the country and Bryson Kuzdzal is the third guy. This is Jordan Marshall's year and just by the way he talks there's no way he's not going to try and be the best running back in the country. Savion Hiter already looks like the best running back prospect out of high school in many years. Is Kuzdzal the ceiling for an RB3? Any other program who looks at this running back room will look at us and say "shut up". You wouldn't expect meaningful playing time from anyone else. 3. Hot Takes, Wide Receivers, and Tight Ends Starts at 1:14:40 Takes hotter than Ann Arbor during Art Fair. The wide receiver room... exists! Do you remember the last Michigan receiver to have a 1,000 yard season? Some guys just have it, Andrew Marsh has it. Who's the last Michigan receiver to live up to this hype? Nico Collins? They import JJ Buchanan in the way that Devin Funchess was a tight end, he's your jump ball guy. Salesi Moa and Travis Johnson are true freshmen but they're the next two guys being mentioned. Salesi Moa blew everyone away at the Polynesian Bowl, you hope for him to be Michigan's Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Travis Johnson seems to be WR4 but also one of the fastest guys on the team, how much play time can you expect? Jaime Ffrench comes in from Texas, Michigan barely had a receiver room when he committed, he's in a weird situation. Channing Goodwin is getting some chatter again. Who are the jet sweep guys, Moa and Marsh? This is the thinnest tight end room we can remember. There isn't a Colston Loveland type guy but Zack Marshall looked really good last year and has a captain mentality. They say Hogan Hansen is healthy and ready to go but he's been hampered by injury and is probably a bit behind physically. Jalen Hoffman is ready to step up and be that dude as a blocker. Also he can catch the ball! They're talking about freshman Mason Bonner in wide receiver-y ways. Eli Owens (Thump) wants to be Max Bredeson but it's only his 2nd year. 4. Offensive Line Starts at 1:57:36 Brian was despondent when linemen hit the portal in the offseason but they all came back. Jake Guarnera is the center and there's no question about it - that being locked down is so important. Andrew Sprague should also be great, he's the locked in right tackle. It's a good thing when Texas comes for your linemen (as long as you keep them). How good of a pass protector can he be, though? They just imported Jim Harding from Utah, regarded as one of the best offensive line coaches in the country. The offensive line has question marks but they're good question marks. Blake Frazier was the lightest guy on the line but he's put on 20 lbs, he should be improved at left tackle. Babalola's progress is the only reason he's not locked in. There's the "Rhino" role for a 6th offensive lineman so there are positions for everyone. They're hyping up Babalola a lot in practice. The incoming freshmen are great but they're freshmen. Evan Link looks to be your starting left guard, he massively improved at left tackle last year after a rough freshman year but this should be a better suited role for him. There's competition for right guard but not for left guard so he might be a pretty solid option. Right guard is a competition between Brady Norton and Nathan Efobi. People are very high on Ace Hamilton. The offense as a whole has a lot of talent but it's so young, they don't have a senior leader. This team will probably still feel like they're a year away.

I am on the verge of checking mouth feel with my daily carry every time he goes ballistic.. reminds me of Jamie from progressive insurance commercials. #wlsislife #fuckSavage #agency171forever! Question from Josh from Texas Are newer production Winchester 94's in 30-30 good for plinking and fun range use? I heard I should buy an older production model. Curious to your thoughts.Josh WINNER Question from Anonymous Coward from OH So I have a 5″ Springfield Prodigy DS 1911. Sometimes, I conceal carry it with an IWB C&G Holster. The gun seems to ride too low in my waistline. I have tried both their plastic IWB clips and their metal Alpha clips. Are there any belt clips that you guys know of that will allow the gun and holster to ride a little bit higher. Thank you Question from Anonymous Coward from California I'm looking to up my 18650 stash and need some input from the almighty guntoob lords. I've got a surefire M640 DFT turbo scout and a streamlight protac (with arisaka adapter and surefire pressure switch tail cap – may matter for battery length?) I don't want to pay bullshit streamlight/surefire battery prices. Do you guys have any favorite cheaper alternatives? I know I need a protected high drain battery, but looking for something I can stock up on and not break the bank. I just got some keeppower 3500 mAh batteries from illumn for my fenix lights for $9/piece but I don't think they support high draw applications… or would they work? Any steering in the right direction would be greatly appreciated! #yéremyisafuddp.s. I have an XTAR charger so I don't need any fancy usb charge top bullshit p.p.s. Do you guys have any favorite battery storage containers for taking on hunting trips that keep them dry and protected but not take up too much room? I don't have the ability to 3d print, so looking to buy. Question from Chad from Michigan Up North Chad from Michigan I'm converting an AR in 5.56 to 300 blackout. What is a good barrel and block combo? It will be a suppressor host and basically strictly subsonic. (Because super sonic 300blk is retarded) Something like 8 to 12 inches. Also, suggestions on a big ol' quiet can under $800? Thanks, Question from Anonymous Coward from Arizona I wrote a while ago asking for recommendations on a light 6.5 Creedmoor rifle for hunting. In that question, I mentioned I wasn't interested in a Bergara after my first experience with them. I'm writing in again to elaborate as requested. It's kind of a long story so buckle up.I bought a Bergara B14-HMR in 6.5 CM and was pretty excited as it was my first “higher end” bolt action, or so I thought. I took it out shooting a few times and just couldn't seem to get it to group well and I was running out of adjustment on my scope. I was a bit confused but I figured id just double check all my mounting. So as I was cleaning it after that range trip, I looked at it from the front and thought the scope looked a little crooked. I got about a hundred second opinions and sure enough, something was off. I thought “there's no way the scope or the gun could be built that wrong”. I warrantied the scope rail and the rings as well as replaced them twice, but neither fixed the problem. So I started talking to the scope manufacturer and sent it in to be checked. They sent it back with a green light and said there was no problems. At this point I was several weeks into tracing down problems and emailing manufacturers so it pissed me off. I finally decided it must be the gun. I took it to a gunsmith and he started mounting a rail on it and everything finally became clear. Instead of starting all the screws a little then going through and torquing them like I had done, he installed the rear screws fully. One of the front screws was then dropped and immediately tried going in at a 45 degree Gun Industry News Thefirearmblog Steiner MPS 2.0 Micro Pistol Sight Steiner has released the MPS 2.0, an updated enclosed-emitter red dot sight building on the original MPS with reinforced design, improved ergonomics, larger buttons, easier maintenance, and extended battery life.

AGENCY BRIEF: STREET SWEEPER / USAS-12 DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE RECLASSIFICATIONWhat this really was: In 1994, ATF took lawfully owned shotguns and shoved them into the NFA “destructive device” category. No vote in Congress. No new statute. Just an agency ruling that turned specific 12-gauge shotguns into the same legal category as grenades. The targets were the Striker-12, the Street Sweeper, and the USAS-12. The Striker and Street Sweeper used revolving cylinders. The USAS-12 was a semi-auto, magazine-fed shotgun. They all fired ordinary 12-gauge shells, the same kind of ammunition people put through hunting pum

Le Mégalocéros ou Mégacéros était aussi appelé autrefois le "grand cerf des tourbières". Megaloceros giganteus fut le grand cervidé de tous les temps. Il ressemblait à un Daim de grande taille.Ses bois mesuraient jusqu'à 3,50 m d'une extrémité à l'autre. Les mâles atteignaient 2 mètres au garrot et les femelles étaient bien plus petites et plus graciles. Bien qu'il ait vécu dans toute l'Europe et dans une grande partie de l'Asie pendant un demi-million d'années avant son extinction récente (vers -5000 ans), il est souvent surnommé "élan irlandais" à cause des nombreux squelettes découverts dans les tourbières d'Irlande (certains sont visibles au musée de Dublin). Les scientifiques se sont longtemps demandé comment cette espèce a pu survivre si longtemps avec des bois si lourds et si encombrants. Les Cerfs géants vivaient surtout dans les toundras et les steppes ouvertes entretenues par les nombreux troupeaux d'herbivores, et non dans les forêts fermées comme les cervidés d'aujourd'hui.Le Cerf géant ne s'est donc pas éteint par la faute de sa ramure encombrante, qu'il ne portait en outre qu'en automne et en hiver, à l'époque du rut.___

Trong bối cảnh nhiều quốc gia đang siết chặt việc trẻ vị thành niên sử dụng mạng xã hội và thiết bị số, tại Hàn Quốc, vấn đề quản lý điện thoại thông minh của trẻ em cũng đang trở thành một chủ đề xã hội được quan tâm mạnh mẽ. Một khảo sát gần đây cho thấy phần lớn phụ huynh Hàn Quốc không còn xem smartphone đơn thuần là công cụ tiện lợi, mà là thiết bị cần được kiểm soát chặt chẽ trong quá trình nuôi dạy trẻ. Theo kết quả khảo sát do nghị sĩ Kim Young-ho, chủ tịch Ủy ban Giáo dục Quốc Hội Hàn Quốc, thực hiện với hơn 52.000 phụ huynh có con đang học tiểu học, trung học cơ sở và trung học phổ thông tại Seoul, Incheon và tỉnh Gyeongnam, có tới 98,1% người tham gia cho rằng “cần có mức hạn chế nhất định đối với việc sử dụng điện thoại thông minh của trẻ vị thành niên”. Những lo ngại của phụ huynh tập trung vào nhiều khía cạnh. Có 97,5% cho rằng smartphone làm tăng nguy cơ trẻ tiếp xúc với nội dung độc hại hoặc thông tin không phù hợp; 96% nhận định thiết bị này có thể cản trở sự tập trung trong học tập; 93,9% cho rằng trẻ khó tự kiểm soát thời gian sử dụng; và 90,4% cho biết việc dùng điện thoại cũng có thể trở thành nguyên nhân gây mâu thuẫn trong gia đình. Nghịch lý smartphone của các gia đình Điều đáng chú ý là dù nhận thức rõ các nguy cơ, nhiều phụ huynh vẫn cho con tiếp xúc với điện thoại từ rất sớm. Theo khảo sát năm 2023 của Quỹ Báo chí Hàn Quốc, 29,9% trẻ em Hàn Quốc đã sử dụng smartphone lần đầu trước 24 tháng tuổi, còn tỷ lệ tiếp xúc trước 5 tuổi lên tới 71,5%. Về thời điểm sở hữu điện thoại cá nhân, 15,9% trẻ có điện thoại trước khi vào tiểu học và 44,3% có điện thoại khi học lớp 1 hoặc lớp 2. Thực tế này phản ánh một nghịch lý trong các gia đình hiện đại: cha mẹ lo ngại tác hại của smartphone nhưng vẫn khó từ chối thiết bị này vì nhu cầu liên lạc, an toàn, học tập và sinh hoạt hằng ngày của con. Nghị sĩ Kim Young-ho cho rằng kết quả khảo sát cho thấy rõ tình thế khó xử của phụ huynh. Họ hiểu điện thoại thông minh có thể gây rủi ro, nhưng vẫn buộc phải trao cho con vì lý do an toàn và đời sống học đường. Từ thực tế đó, ông Kim đề xuất phổ biến một thiết bị thay thế gọi là “Edu Ansim Phone” – điện thoại an toàn dành cho học sinh. Thiết bị này sẽ duy trì các chức năng cần thiết như nghe gọi, định vị, ứng dụng an toàn, đồng thời hạn chế các tính năng có nguy cơ gây nghiện hoặc tiềm ẩn rủi ro cao như video ngắn, mạng xã hội, trò chơi trực tuyến và trò chuyện ẩn danh. Theo ông Kim, việc phát triển thiết bị thay thế không chỉ nhằm đáp ứng nhu cầu liên lạc giữa cha mẹ và con cái, mà còn tạo ra một lựa chọn trung gian giữa “cấm hoàn toàn” và “cho trẻ dùng smartphone đầy đủ chức năng”. Đây có thể là hướng đi giúp phụ huynh bảo vệ con khỏi nội dung độc hại, giảm nguy cơ lệ thuộc vào thiết bị số, nhưng vẫn bảo đảm yếu tố an toàn trong sinh hoạt hằng ngày. Trẻ nhỏ cần được bảo vệ đặc biệt trước màn hình Các chuyên gia cho rằng việc quản lý smartphone không thể chỉ dừng ở việc thay đổi thiết bị, mà cần bắt đầu từ nhận thức đúng về quá trình phát triển của trẻ. Theo Ủy ban Phát triển thuộc Hội Nhi khoa và Thanh thiếu niên Hàn Quốc, việc cho trẻ tiếp xúc với điện thoại thông minh, máy tính bảng hoặc TV từ quá sớm là xu hướng đáng lo ngại. Giai đoạn đầu đời là thời kỳ trẻ cần tương tác trực tiếp với con người, đồ vật thật và môi trường xung quanh, thay vì tiếp nhận các kích thích một chiều từ màn hình. Trẻ nhỏ dễ bị smartphone thu hút bởi hình ảnh chuyển động nhanh, màu sắc rực rỡ, âm thanh liên tục và các nhân vật bắt mắt. Những kích thích mạnh này khiến trẻ nhanh chóng bị cuốn vào màn hình, đồng thời dần cảm thấy các hoạt động thông thường như đọc sách, chơi đồ chơi, vận động, quan sát thiên nhiên hoặc trò chuyện với cha mẹ trở nên kém hấp dẫn hơn. Khi não bộ quen với nhịp kích thích nhanh và mạnh, trẻ cũng có thể khó thích nghi với các hoạt động cần sự kiên nhẫn, tập trung và suy nghĩ chậm. Vấn đề lớn nhất là màn hình thường chỉ tạo ra trải nghiệm một chiều. Trong khi não bộ của trẻ cần được phát triển thông qua các tương tác đa giác quan như nhìn, nghe, chạm, vận động, phản hồi cảm xúc và giao tiếp qua lại, smartphone lại giới hạn trải nghiệm trong hình ảnh và âm thanh trên mặt phẳng hai chiều. Điều này có thể ảnh hưởng đến khả năng tự kiểm soát cảm xúc, hành vi, sự tập trung, trí tưởng tượng, ngôn ngữ và kỹ năng xã hội của trẻ. Đặc biệt, trẻ nhỏ vốn chưa hoàn thiện năng lực chờ đợi, kiềm chế ham muốn hay chuyển từ hoạt động này sang hoạt động khác. Nếu thường xuyên tiếp xúc với thiết bị số, trẻ có thể dễ cáu gắt, phản ứng mạnh khi bị yêu cầu dừng xem, khó tập trung vào các hoạt động chậm hơn và phụ thuộc vào màn hình để giải tỏa cảm xúc. Thiết bị di động cũng có thể làm giảm chất lượng gắn bó giữa cha mẹ và con cái. Trẻ nhỏ, nhất là trẻ dưới 3 tuổi, cần được cha mẹ nhìn, nghe, ôm ấp, đáp lại cảm xúc và cùng tham gia các hoạt động thường ngày. Nếu thời gian này bị thay thế bằng màn hình, hoặc nếu cha mẹ thường xuyên dùng điện thoại khi ở bên con, sự tương tác trực tiếp trong gia đình sẽ bị suy giảm. Trong khi đó, mối gắn bó an toàn với cha mẹ là nền tảng quan trọng giúp trẻ ổn định cảm xúc, tự tin khám phá thế giới và phát triển quan hệ xã hội sau này. Tác động tới ngôn ngữ cũng là điểm cần lưu ý. Trẻ học nói hiệu quả nhất thông qua giao tiếp hai chiều: cha mẹ nói chuyện, trẻ phản ứng, người lớn đáp lại và tiếp tục mở rộng cuộc trò chuyện. Smartphone hoặc TV không thể thay thế quá trình này. Vì vậy, hạn chế smartphone ở trẻ nhỏ không chỉ là giảm thời gian giải trí, mà còn là biện pháp bảo vệ sự phát triển não bộ, cảm xúc, ngôn ngữ, khả năng tập trung và kỹ năng xã hội. Trong những năm đầu đời, điều trẻ cần nhất không phải là làm quen sớm với màn hình, mà là được chơi, được chạm, được vận động, được trò chuyện và được kết nối trực tiếp với cha mẹ cũng như thế giới thật xung quanh. Vì sao cần can thiệp sớm? Các chuyên gia Hàn Quốc đặc biệt nhấn mạnh lợi ích của can thiệp sớm. Nếu cha mẹ chỉ bắt đầu hạn chế khi trẻ đã hình thành thói quen phụ thuộc vào điện thoại, quá trình điều chỉnh sẽ khó khăn hơn và dễ dẫn đến xung đột trong gia đình. Ngược lại, nếu quy tắc được đặt ra từ khi trẻ còn nhỏ, trẻ sẽ dễ tiếp nhận hơn, ít phản kháng hơn và có cơ hội hình thành thói quen sinh hoạt lành mạnh trước khi bước vào độ tuổi đi học. Can thiệp sớm không chỉ nhằm giảm thời gian nhìn màn hình, mà còn bảo vệ những giai đoạn phát triển quan trọng của não bộ, cảm xúc và quan hệ xã hội. Khi trẻ có thêm thời gian đọc truyện tranh, vận động ngoài trời, chơi trò chơi cảm giác, khám phá thiên nhiên, học nhạc, vẽ tranh hoặc chơi thể thao, trẻ sẽ có nhiều nguồn kích thích lành mạnh hơn, thay vì chỉ tìm kiếm sự thỏa mãn từ thiết bị số. Nói cách khác, quản lý smartphone ở trẻ nhỏ không nên được hiểu đơn giản là cấm đoán, mà là một hình thức can thiệp sớm nhằm giúp trẻ phát triển khả năng tập trung, tự điều chỉnh cảm xúc, giao tiếp xã hội và xây dựng thói quen sống cân bằng. Không chỉ cấm, mà phải giúp trẻ học cách tự kiểm soát Ở góc độ sức khỏe tâm thần trẻ em, Giáo sư Lee Young-sik, Khoa Tâm thần học, Bệnh viện Đại học Chung-Ang, cho rằng không thể đánh giá tình trạng “nghiện smartphone” chỉ bằng số giờ sử dụng mỗi ngày. Điều quan trọng hơn là trẻ có còn khả năng tự kiểm soát ham muốn sử dụng thiết bị hay không. Vì vậy, giải pháp không nên chỉ là cấm tuyệt đối, mà cần giúp trẻ hình thành năng lực tự điều chỉnh và tự kiềm chế. Theo Giáo sư Lee, bước đầu tiên trong quản lý smartphone là khôi phục và củng cố quan hệ gia đình. Khi cha mẹ và con cái có đủ thời gian giao tiếp tích cực, trẻ cảm nhận được sự quan tâm thay vì chỉ bị kiểm soát. Khi đó, các giới hạn về sử dụng smartphone sẽ dễ được chấp nhận hơn. Ngược lại, nếu gia đình vốn đã nhiều xung đột, việc tịch thu hoặc cấm đoán điện thoại có thể khiến trẻ phản kháng mạnh hơn, thậm chí lén lút sử dụng thiết bị nhiều hơn. Vì vậy, việc giảm phụ thuộc smartphone cần được tiến hành bằng sự đồng hành, quy tắc rõ ràng và mối quan hệ gia đình tích cực. Giáo sư Lee khuyến nghị gia đình nên đặt smartphone ở không gian chung như phòng khách, tránh để trẻ sử dụng một mình trong phòng ngủ hoặc phòng học. Phòng ngủ nên được hiểu là nơi nghỉ ngơi, còn phòng học là nơi tập trung học tập, không phải không gian để trẻ cô lập bản thân và sử dụng điện thoại không giới hạn. Trong bữa ăn gia đình, tất cả thành viên, kể cả cha mẹ, cũng nên cùng nhau không sử dụng smartphone. Đối với học sinh, việc chia thời gian sử dụng thành các khung cụ thể, chẳng hạn sau khi tan học hoặc sau bữa tối, có thể giúp trẻ dễ kiểm soát hơn so với cách nói chung chung rằng “mỗi ngày được dùng 1–2 giờ”. Cha mẹ cũng có thể khuyến khích trẻ tự ghi nhật ký sử dụng smartphone để nhận thức rõ mình đang dùng thiết bị vào lúc nào, trong bao lâu và vì mục đích gì. Một điểm quan trọng khác là không nên dùng smartphone như phần thưởng để đổi lấy hành vi ngoan ngoãn. Nếu trẻ luôn được thưởng bằng điện thoại sau khi ăn, học bài hoặc nghe lời, thiết bị số sẽ trở thành nguồn thỏa mãn đặc biệt, khiến trẻ càng khó tách khỏi smartphone. Khuyến nghị từ chuyên gia tâm thần nhi khoa Ở nhóm trẻ nhỏ, các chuyên gia tâm thần nhi khoa Hàn Quốc cho rằng việc quản lý thiết bị số cần được thực hiện đặc biệt thận trọng. Bác sĩ Park So-young, giám đốc Phòng khám Tâm thần Sức khỏe Moa, nhấn mạnh rằng trong giai đoạn não bộ đang phát triển, trẻ cần được tương tác trực tiếp với con người thật càng nhiều càng tốt. Vì vậy, việc tiếp xúc với video, YouTube, trò chơi, hay các nội dung số nên được hạn chế tối đa. Theo bác sĩ Park, hình ảnh trẻ xem hoạt hình khi ăn ở nhà hàng, xem YouTube khi ngồi ô tô hoặc dùng máy tính bảng để học tiếng Anh tại nhà đã trở nên rất phổ biến. Tuy nhiên, nếu trẻ khóc lóc, ăn vạ khi không được xem, hoặc không thể ăn uống, ra ngoài, sinh hoạt bình thường nếu thiếu điện thoại, cha mẹ cần xem đây là tín hiệu cảnh báo. Dù trẻ nhỏ chưa có tiêu chuẩn chẩn đoán chính thức về “nghiện smartphone”, các biểu hiện như phải xem lâu hơn mới thỏa mãn, phản ứng dữ dội khi bị tắt màn hình, hoặc phụ thuộc vào video trong mọi sinh hoạt cho thấy gia đình cần kiểm tra lại môi trường nuôi dạy và cân nhắc tư vấn chuyên gia. Bác sĩ Park cũng dẫn khuyến nghị của Tổ chức Y tế Thế giới rằng trẻ dưới 24 tháng tuổi không nên tiếp xúc với màn hình; trẻ từ 2 đến 5 tuổi chỉ nên xem trong vòng 1 giờ mỗi ngày và cần có sự tham gia của người chăm sóc. Trước 6 tuổi là giai đoạn não bộ phát triển rất nhanh, trong đó những trải nghiệm hằng ngày có thể ảnh hưởng sâu sắc đến khả năng tập trung, ngôn ngữ, tự kiểm soát và phát triển xã hội của trẻ. Nếu trẻ tiếp xúc quá nhiều với các kích thích nhanh, ngắn và lặp lại từ smartphone, não bộ sẽ thiếu cơ hội phát triển cân bằng thông qua vận động, chơi tự do, tương tác với cha mẹ và trải nghiệm đời sống thật. Một điểm quan trọng khác là không nên gắn video với các sinh hoạt cố định như ăn uống, đi ra ngoài hoặc ngồi yên. Nếu mỗi bữa ăn trẻ đều được xem điện thoại, não trẻ có thể học theo mô hình “ăn cơm là phải có video”, từ đó từ chối ăn nếu không được xem. Vì vậy, việc sử dụng thiết bị số nên được đặt vào một khung giờ cố định, có giới hạn rõ ràng, thay vì dùng như công cụ để trẻ ăn ngoan, ngồi yên hoặc ngừng quấy khóc. Về nội dung, phụ huynh nên tránh các video có chuyển cảnh quá nhanh, màu sắc quá mạnh, âm thanh dồn dập hoặc tính năng tự động phát liên tục như YouTube Shorts, Reels và các video đề xuất tự động. Ngay cả với nội dung học tập như học chữ, học tiếng Anh hay bảng cửu chương, bác sĩ Park cho rằng không nên xem đó là giải pháp thay thế tương tác trực tiếp. Nếu sử dụng, cha mẹ nên cho trẻ xem trong thời gian ngắn, sau đó cùng trẻ nhắc lại, đặt câu hỏi và giúp trẻ dùng lại thông tin vừa học trong tình huống thực tế. Quan trọng hơn cả, cha mẹ cần duy trì quy tắc một cách nhất quán. Với trẻ nhỏ, người lớn phải quyết định loại thiết bị, thời gian, địa điểm và nội dung được xem. Khi trẻ lớn hơn, gia đình có thể cùng trẻ thảo luận để xây dựng quy tắc. Nếu cha mẹ thay đổi quy định tùy theo tâm trạng, trẻ sẽ khó hình thành thói quen tự kiểm soát. Bản thân cha mẹ cũng cần làm gương bằng cách giảm sử dụng điện thoại trước mặt con, thiết lập các khu vực không thiết bị như bàn ăn, phòng ngủ, khu vui chơi và giải thích rõ mục đích khi cần dùng điện thoại. Nhìn từ góc độ này, hạn chế thiết bị di động ở trẻ nhỏ không chỉ là kiểm soát thời gian xem màn hình, mà là quá trình xây dựng lại nhịp sinh hoạt lành mạnh. Khi giấc ngủ, bữa ăn, vui chơi, vận động, trò chuyện và tương tác với cha mẹ trở thành trung tâm của đời sống hằng ngày, sự phụ thuộc vào điện thoại sẽ giảm đi một cách tự nhiên hơn. Cha mẹ phải làm gương trước khi yêu cầu con thay đổi Từ góc nhìn giáo dục gia đình, chương trình “Family Day” của Samsung Electronics DS cũng từng đề cập đến vấn đề “cuộc chiến smartphone với con cái”. Trong buổi chuyên đề này, tiến sĩ tâm lý học Lee Hyeong-cho nhấn mạnh rằng cha mẹ không thể chỉ yêu cầu con giảm sử dụng điện thoại, mà trước hết cần nhìn lại chính thói quen sử dụng smartphone của mình. Trẻ em thường học từ hành vi của người lớn nhiều hơn từ lời nói. Nếu cha mẹ thường xuyên cầm điện thoại trước mặt con, việc yêu cầu trẻ tự kiểm soát sẽ khó đạt hiệu quả. Theo tiến sĩ Lee, quan hệ giữa cha mẹ và con cái có ảnh hưởng lớn tới việc phòng ngừa phụ thuộc smartphone. Khi gia đình có sự gắn bó, trò chuyện tích cực và các hoạt động chung, trẻ sẽ ít có xu hướng tìm kiếm sự an ủi hoặc giải trí duy nhất từ màn hình. Ngược lại, nếu trẻ cảm thấy cô đơn, bị phê phán hoặc thiếu kết nối với cha mẹ, việc kiểm soát điện thoại dễ trở thành một cuộc đối đầu. Vì vậy, cha mẹ cần bắt đầu từ việc tự đặt giới hạn cho bản thân, tăng thời gian trò chuyện với con và cùng con xây dựng quy tắc sử dụng thiết bị. Bên cạnh giới hạn, cha mẹ cần tạo ra các lựa chọn thay thế hấp dẫn hơn. Các chuyên gia khuyến nghị trẻ nên vận động đều đặn, chơi thể thao, học nhạc cụ, đọc sách, tham gia hoạt động ngoài trời, chơi cùng bạn bè hoặc cùng gia đình thực hiện các hoạt động chung. Đặc biệt, vai trò của người cha cũng được nhấn mạnh. Nếu người cha không chỉ xuất hiện như người áp đặt kỷ luật, mà còn là bạn chơi và người đồng hành, trẻ sẽ có thêm sự ổn định cảm xúc và giảm nhu cầu tìm kiếm niềm vui từ màn hình. Khi trẻ có một đời sống ngoài màn hình đủ phong phú, smartphone sẽ không còn là nguồn giải trí duy nhất. Đây là điều kiện quan trọng để việc hạn chế thiết bị số không biến thành cuộc chiến căng thẳng giữa cha mẹ và con cái. Giáo dục trẻ về ứng xử trên không gian mạng Ngoài việc giới hạn thời gian sử dụng, quản lý smartphone cũng phải đi kèm giáo dục văn hóa ứng xử trên không gian mạng. Trẻ cần được dạy rằng dù trò chuyện trực tuyến, các em vẫn đang tương tác với con người thật. Vì vậy, trẻ cần hiểu rằng không được chửi bới, nói xấu, bắt nạt, xúc phạm hoặc làm tổn thương người khác trên mạng. Không gian mạng không phải là nơi trẻ có thể hành xử tùy tiện chỉ vì không nhìn thấy mặt đối phương. Đây là một phần quan trọng trong giáo dục công dân số cho trẻ em và thanh thiếu niên. Vấn đề không chỉ của gia đình, mà của cả xã hội Nhìn tổng thể, xu hướng tại Hàn Quốc cho thấy việc hạn chế trẻ em sử dụng smartphone không còn là câu chuyện riêng của từng gia đình. Đây đã trở thành một vấn đề giáo dục, y tế và xã hội. Từ khảo sát phụ huynh, đề xuất điện thoại an toàn cho học sinh, cho tới khuyến nghị của các bác sĩ nhi khoa, chuyên gia tâm lý và chuyên gia tâm thần học trẻ em, điểm chung đều là: trẻ em cần được bảo vệ khỏi việc tiếp xúc quá sớm và quá mức với thiết bị di động. Tuy nhiên, hạn chế không có nghĩa là tách trẻ hoàn toàn khỏi công nghệ. Trong một xã hội số hóa, trẻ vẫn cần học cách sử dụng công nghệ đúng mục đích, đúng thời điểm và đúng mức độ. Vấn đề cốt lõi là người lớn phải đồng hành, đặt giới hạn rõ ràng, làm gương trong thói quen sử dụng thiết bị và tạo cho trẻ một đời sống ngoài màn hình đủ phong phú. Nói cách khác, cuộc chiến với smartphone không nên bắt đầu bằng sự cấm đoán đơn thuần, mà bằng một chiến lược giáo dục sớm, nhất quán và giàu tương tác. Khi trẻ được trò chuyện, được chơi, được vận động, được khám phá và được kết nối với gia đình, điện thoại sẽ không còn là nguồn vui duy nhất. Đó mới là nền tảng bền vững để giúp trẻ lớn lên an toàn, cân bằng và có khả năng tự kiểm soát trong thời đại số.
“Barn i mellanstadiet önskar sig fortfarande mest av allt tid med sina föräldrar.” Halva semestern har gått. Semesterkassan börjar sina, barnen börjar bli rastlösa och det är lätt att känna att man måste fylla varje dag med nya aktiviteter. Men måste en fantastisk sommar verkligen kosta så mycket?

Cast your vote! We're in the middle of the Fungus of the Year. An incredible series of stories about mushrooms, fungi, moulds, diseases – the poisonous and gorgeous organisms that surround our planet, gardens and —believe it or not— our food! Surprises galore: i.e. The Fungal Kingdom is larger than the Plant Kingdom! There are more fungal species than plant species – get your head around that! We could easily do a fungus story for each Jack Tame program between now and 2086 – My old mate Peter Buchanan (ex-DSIR – Manaaki Whenua, Bioeconomy Science Institute) has always been the storyteller and is now working with teachers. Let's start with a few amazing organisms. VEGETABLE CATERPILLAR The “Vegetable Caterpillar”, Te Awheto: a native mummified caterpillar and a native stick-like fungal fruiting body. The Caterpillar gets to a large form underground, where it can be consumed by a fungus. The “fruiting body” develops from the head of the dead caterpillar to well above the ground, where the spores are released (aiming to grab more live caterpillars!). Māori worked out relatively quickly that if Awheto was collected in good numbers and burnt, the powdered charcoal mixed with bird fat would create the perfect and stable black pigment, used to make Ta Moko. A Caterpillar, a Fungal Fruiting Body, a Barbeque, some Bird Fat and Black Charcoal… Photo / Supplied WOOD EAR FUNGUS I love the Wood Ear Fungus (Te Hakeke) in our Native forest. They look so Dark Brown and elegant on the dead native trees. Touch them and they feel like a human ear, chew a bit off and they are as soft as a human ear – in fact, they smell and kind-of taste like a human ear! ... But they don't! No smell – no taste, but a brilliant way to absorb smell and taste from cooked foods. It wasn't just the Māori who cottoned onto the way to harvest and cook with the ear fungus – the Chinese merchants that settled in Aotearoa realised that the New Zealand Ear Fungus was pretty closely related to the one in China! A significant trade with China (1870 – 1910) developed from a number of ports in Aotearoa – it was known as “Taranaki Wool”. Chew Chong was the leading ear fungus exporter and has been honoured in the NZ Business Hall of Fame for to the “Fungus Trade”. Photo / File | Peter Buchanan Landcare Research FISCHER'S EGG I am really keen to find one of these rare “truffels”, one fine day. It's from just a few places in the South Island: Nelson, Dunedin and Gore and is threatened with extinction (DOC, IUCN Global Red List). The fruitbodies of Fischer's egg have no opening through which to release their spores. Similar “stomach-like” fungi mostly depend on animals to disperse their spores after consumption of their fruitbodies… so, here's a question: Did the flightless Moa feed on (and disperse) Fischer's egg? Photo / Supplied Remember: the 18th of June is the last day to vote (click here or scan the QR code to do so). Have a look at stuff like this to find out more about fungi, and this wonderful book that Peter put together. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

În episodul de azi vorbim cu Dominique și Corina, două membre ale rețelei Avort Accesibil, despre accesul la avort în România și dificultățile întâmpinate, de la spitale până la mediul politic. În prima parte vorbim despre situația legală și medicală în România, despre cum spitalele nu fac avorturi la cerere și despre alternativele care există în această situație, precum avortul medicamentos. În a doua parte vorbim despre contextul politic actual, unul care alunecă din ce în ce mai mult spre dreapta extremă și în care restrângere dreptului la avort va deveni, probabil, unul dintre subiectele cu care vor defila din ce în ce mai mulți actori politici. În încheiere discutăm despre cum ne putem implica, mai ales, în acest moment, pe partea de consiliere, pentru a contracara propaganda agresivă a rețelelor anti-avort. ===== Re(Surse): Avort accesibil website: https://avortaccesibil.ro/ ig: https://www.instagram.com/avortaccesibil/ Rețeua Women Help Women https://womenhelp.org/en/ Asociația Moașelor din România https://asociatiamoaselor.ro/ Arta: Maia Visha @maiavishaha ig: https://www.instagram.com/maiavishaha/ Muzica: Sunday Blue, de Sofia Zadar yt: https://youtu.be/_LjfosWJJDE?list=RD_LjfosWJJDE https://linktr.ee/sofiazadar
Palliative care in multiple sclerosis spans the disease course, from early screening and support after diagnosis to symptom management and quality‑of‑life optimization in midstage disease, and end‑of‑life care in advanced MS. This episode outlines a staged approach to palliative care, highlights the roles of neurology and primary care teams, and discusses tools such as patient‑reported outcomes and symptom scales to support ongoing assessment of patients and care partners. In this episode, Katie Grouse, MD, FAAN, speaks with Penelope Smyth, MD, FRCPC and Janis M. Miyasaki, MD, MEd, FRCPC, coauthors of the article "Palliative Care in Multiple Sclerosis" in the Continuum® April 2026 Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders issue. Dr. Grouse is a Continuum® Audio interviewer and a clinical assistant professor at the University of California, San Francisco in San Francisco, California. Dr. Smyth is the director of the Division of Neurology in the Department of Medicine at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Dr. Miyasaki is a professor in the Division of Neurology in the Department of Medicine at the University of Alberta and the zone clinical department head for Clinical Neurosciences at Alberta Health Services in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Dr Grouse: This is Dr. Katie Grouse. Today, I'm interviewing Drs Penelope Smyth and Janis Miyasaki about their article on palliative care in multiple sclerosis, which appears in the April 2026 Continuum issue on multiple sclerosis. Welcome to the podcast, and please introduce yourselves to our audience. Dr Smyth: Thank you, Katie. I'm Penny Smyth. I am a neurologist at the University of Alberta, a professor in neurology, and a clinical multiple sclerosis specialist. Dr Miyasaki: Hi, Katie. Thanks for having us. I'm Janis Miyasaki. I am a movement disorder neurologist primarily who also provides neuropalliative care at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada. Dr Grouse: It's so great having you today to talk with us about your article. I thought this article was really a wonderful take on the topic. I learned a lot, and I'm really hoping all of our listeners will take advantage of this article and take advantage of all the learning they can get from reading about this topic. So, I wanted to start with a more general question, which is, what is the key message from this article that you're hoping your readers will take away? Dr Smyth: In terms of key takeaways, I think it's our hope that neurologists will come away from reading this article with, really, an expanded understanding of what palliative care is and how that might be applicable to them in their care for their patients with MS along a continuum of treating people with MS, that there can be components of palliative care and strategies that can be integrated early after diagnosis in, really, anywhere along the continuum of caring for people with MS. We've called that kind of mid-stage. And then there are particular needs for people with MS and their care partners in late-stage or severe MS and end of life that might require different palliative care strategies. I think we kind of have maybe a bit of a bias sometimes in thinking of palliative care as more directed towards those that are near end-of-life. But in fact, it's a much expanded concept. Dr Miyasaki: And I'll just add that we also discuss a palliative approach, that palliative care skills and philosophies can be used by generalists---in this case, neurologists who are providing care to people with MS---and that adopting certain skills and communication techniques can help us better address our patients' and their families' symptoms. And also to keep in mind that for most people with neurologic illness, the unit of care is not only the patient, but it's the patient and the family, however that family looks. Dr Grouse: Now, Penny, I'm curious, how are early-stage and mid-stage multiple sclerosis palliative care strategies different from, say, a typical evaluation and counseling that a neurologist would give, say, an MS specialist or even a general neurologist? Dr Smyth: Thank you, Katie. That's a great question, and something that actually I learned in writing this piece with Janice and from her as a neuropalliative care expert. I think in terms of early strategies around palliative care that can be helpful to the general neurologist in their office, palliative care is about holistic support for patients and their care providers spiritually, emotionally, physically. There are components of palliative care and symptom management and making sure that the patient is at the center of the care, as well as support for their care partners with their holistic approach of relief of suffering as well as offering hope. When I started this piece, I was thinking that many of us neurologists, I think, often informally utilize many of these components already when we're dealing with patients early on after diagnosis in terms of communication, counseling, and education; going through their fear of an uncertain future; spiritual well-being; and then connecting them with supports for adaptive coping strategies. And then as well in mid-stage, which is really around what we can do in symptom management and improving quality of life, with screening tools and patient-reported outcome measures. However, I have to say that there are many unmet needs for people with MS and their care partners that they identify that are clearly not being met by us neurologists in this day and age. So even though we may be incorporating some of these strategies, I don't think we're meeting the mark all the time and hitting the target, especially in our busy office practices, in various ways. Dr Grouse: Given that, at a high level, what are some important early-stage MS palliative care concepts that we should be keeping in mind when we are counseling patients in these stages of the disease? Dr Miyasaki: An important concept to keep in mind for neurologists dealing with early-stage MS patients is that for us, we feel successful that we have made a diagnosis. And yet for the patient, it is taking away that hope. Maybe it's not MS. Maybe I just have a numb hand and it's gonna go away. And for us to appreciate that while we make this diagnosis multiple times a week---or, for MS specialists multiple times a day---for this person, it is the first time, the first experience, and it shakes their entire foundation of who they are as a person, how they will perform all the tasks and roles that they have in society, in their professional lives, in their family structures, and in their close, intimate relationships. As physicians, we may be overwhelmed by acknowledging that. I feel that it's important for us to understand the needs that our patients have and to allow them to have their feelings. You know, feelings can feel messy and time-consuming, and yet when we fully see our patients, I feel that this is the best of medicine. And it certainly is, in terms of palliative care, the principle that we seek. We accept all of the patient, the joy and the sorrow, the anger and the frustration. We accept it all, and we try to determine what will serve this person who is suffering in front of us now. Dr Smyth: There's another piece to this, which came up as Janice and I were writing together. We were talking about offering a prognosis to a patient as to how they would do, and this was something that I thought deeply about, because I said, we always communicate how uncertain the prognosis is and how we can't predict the future. And then she said to me, well, what about offering a roadmap to a person with MS soon after diagnosis as to how you're gonna determine how they do over the next couple of years? Which are really important years in terms of determining how patients are doing on their disease-modifying therapies, whether they're having progression or not, and things. It's a pivotal time. So, if you can offer a roadmap to a person with MS and say, look, this is when we will be following you up. This is how we will be following you with MRI and biomarkers if you have that available, and this is how we will determine how responsive you are and then how we move forward from there. Dr Grouse: Really important concepts. And the roadmap certainly makes a lot of sense to me and something that, apart from just being useful to the patient for so many reasons to help set expectations, you know, is useful for us to better partner with the patient so they understand this is sort of how we do things and everyone's sort of expectations are met. So, I think those sound like really great goals and things to keep in mind. Now, we talked about early-stage MS palliative care concepts. How does that change as you get into the mid-stage of the disease? Dr Smyth: Yeah. So, this is reflecting the fact that the course of MS is so different and the experience of MS is so different person to person. And so, what do we do as neurologists when we follow these people long-term over years and decades of living with their MS as their needs evolve, as their symptoms evolve, and as their disability evolves? Well, really, this is about the time of getting into, what are the symptoms that they're struggling with, what are the causes of their suffering at various points? And then how do we identify that, maybe with use of patient-reported outcome measures, screening scales, things like that. And then how do we direct symptomatic management to the specific symptoms that are causing distress to the patient? As well as trying to improve their quality of life in various ways, treating their comorbidities, making sure to check on exercise, healthy living, and that kind of thing. Dr Grouse: Now getting into, I think, topics that we're more used to thinking about when we think about palliative care: a lot of us, I think, are really unsure of the right time to discuss advanced care directives in the course of multiple sclerosis, and I think that's not helped by the fact that many of us are just, in general, not terribly comfortable talking about those types of things in general. What is your advice to questions like this? Dr Smyth: And this is something that, again, Janice and I had to come together on, because there is no universal accepted time for when is the right time in multiple sclerosis to discuss advanced care directives and goals of care. And in fact, when they have looked at it in the literature, different things have come out. It has come out that neurologists can be uncomfortable discussing this. There's unique challenges to people with MS in that they have a diagnosis at a young age with an uncertain trajectory of how their course of disease is going to go. And many of these things lead care providers to be somewhat hesitant as to when is the right time, as well as, there were identified barriers within patients themselves as to when the right time might be to discuss. In that, you know, some of the coping strategies might be, as identified by some of the qualitative studies that have been done on this, around the fact that they would prefer to focus on the present rather than the future. In some studies expressed an ambivalence as to when they thought the right time might be, as well as some negative experiences that they might have had from providers trying to discuss these things in their previous experience. So, I went back to looking at the European guidelines for palliative care in MS, who suggested when a person might have severe MS---which they define as walking with bilateral aids for at least twenty meters or an EDSS of six or higher---or trigger-based, when there has been a change in the patient's status, when there's been a decline in some way or progression. Now, this is a little different, actually, than what we offer other people with neurologic diseases, and I don't know if that's the right answer. And this is where I'm going to turn it over to Janice, because I think we could learn something, as neurologists who treat people with MS, from our palliative care specialists. Dr Miyasaki: I think of advanced care planning in a very different way. I think what a lot of the patients were expressing in the studies was that being asked about advanced care planning signaled to them in some way that they have reached this point in their illness where things aren't going so great and I anticipate that you may run into complications. Whereas in our movement disorder clinic, one of our fellows did a study looking at capacity for decision-making. And even in people who scored normally on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, they had impairments in some of the domains of decision-making. And so, our philosophy in movement disorders at least---and some of our patients are quite young who have multiple system atrophy, they could be in their forties---we take the philosophy that everyone over the age of decision-making capacity, which is generally eighteen, should have some goals of care established. And how I introduce it in my clinic is, you know, for the young resident, you want the full-meal deal, because the likelihood of the resident surviving the ICU admission is very high. And then when we look at me, who… I am older, the likelihood of surviving an ICU admission is considerably lower. And so, the appropriate goals of care might be that I am willing to go to the ICU, and if things go well, then they can continue. But if things are not going well, they can have a discussion with my personal directive or power of attorney to talk about what the goals of care should be. And then the other aspect is sometimes having the conversation with family is really important because most of our families in hospital express an uncertainty. Am I doing the right thing? And they want to do the right thing for their loved ones. And most people actually say, if you ask them, I don't want to burden my family with making decisions that are going to tear at their hearts. So, then we can't actually make good informed decisions for our loved ones unless we have clear conversations. I think it does speak to our superstitious beliefs that if we talk about death, it's going to happen. But I hope the listeners will take my word for it, it really doesn't. And someone had a really good saying about the advanced directive. They're kind of like evening clothes. You should take them out every once in a while and make sure they still fit. And so, when you normalize it in this way, it helps people to just say, oh, yeah, it's once a year. Dr. Miyasaki is gonna ask me about how do I feel about those goals of care. And then it doesn't have this portent of, oh, I'm not doing well. Instead, it's just, this is what we should all be doing for our sake and for our family's sake. Dr Smyth: Now, one thing that I have to add on to this is that it is important to try to establish advanced care directives before patients experience cognitive decline, because then that can make it a much more challenging conversation and brings nuances of challenge into the interactions, which, you know, are hard. Dr Grouse: And Penny, I'm glad you brought that up, because I was really struck by that point too when reading this article, how easy it is to miss the subtle signs that cognitive changes are happening. I think it's just- it's a good kind of segue into that topic in general, but it is such an important link to, you know, making sure that you get those advanced directives at a time when the patient's really able to express and understand what they're talking to you about. Now, on the topic of the cognitive screenings, what's a good way to do this type of screening, and why is this type of screening so particularly important in the case of multiple sclerosis? Dr Smyth: Yeah. Thank you, Katie. I think that it's important for our listeners to think about and recognize when we see our patients with MS because it is one of the invisible symptoms that people with MS can live with and may not be apparent on regular conversation in the office. So, it's important to deliberately ask about subjective challenges in cognition. Ask the partner about how they're doing in terms of their cognition in various ways. As well as asking them and exploring then, how are they doing in their professional roles if they're working or in their surroundings? How are they coping on a daily basis on a cognitive level in addition to a physical level? We know that cognitive issues are actually the biggest contributor for not working and are a huge driver of disability in MS in terms of functioning, even more than physical decline in many ways. So, it is important for us neurologists to keep top of mind and to think about and deliberately attend to. There are screening tests that we can do in the office. The easiest for us, which measures the verbal processing speed, is the SDMT test, which is a ninety-second test matching symbols and numbers. It's easy to do. You can train a MOA to do it before you see the patient and things like that, and it just gives you an idea as to where the patient is at. And usually they're having difficulties if they're greater than two standard deviations below the norm for their age, or if there's a significant drop of four or eight points, and that might signal to you that there might be more going on. You can explore it, and then if you do have this available, the ability to refer for neuropsychological testing if there's questions. But often we can't get it with the MoCA score, unfortunately. Dr Grouse: Talking about all these concepts, I think they all sound great. I think a lot of us hearing this will naturally say, "Yes, these are absolutely things we should be incorporating in the care of these patients." What I wondered about was, certainly we're all very busy, it is really hard to find time for a lot of these things. We don't always have access to specialists who can help us with some of these conversations. How can we find time, and how can we work this into the care of our patients effectively and still make time for all the other things we have to talk about, and make sure that we're seeing all of our other patients and staying on time and all of those things? Dr Miyasaki: Yes. I think that's the challenges of dealing with people who actually, over time, their care needs increase, is huge in neurology. I can't think of a single subspecialty where care actually gets easier. It's constantly getting harder. You know, having come from private practice, I completely understand my colleagues' challenges in the community. Some of the ways that other groups have managed this when they don't have government or university support in their center is actually to look at not-for-profits. There are a lot of not-for-profits that can help in terms of wayfinding for social services, explaining to the patients and the family what is available to them. And in fact, some of them can also provide some cognitive supports, as well as point them in the way of day programs. And many of them have very established caregiver support groups, as well as patient support groups for various stages of their illness. So, I think it requires for the individual or small or even a large group practice to be inventive, to look in your community and see what resources are available and free for your patients in order to establish that loose team without boundaries to help your patients. Of course, for those in academic centers, I know that times are tight for all of us, and if you haven't established a team, it is a challenge; and then learning how to write a business plan or a briefing note for your institution and to learn how to speak the love language of administrators, is really key to putting forward the needs of our patients. Which, compared to heart attack patients or hips and knees, they are very rare, and yet our patients can result in significant cost to the healthcare system. So, we do have an opportunity to make the case that putting a little bit of investment in the ambulatory setting can result in significant cost savings to the system when it comes to acute care hospitalization. Dr Smyth: So, I was thinking, Janis, as you were talking about that, when you were talking about not-for-profit groups, it's really the MS societies in various countries that are very active in this and have a lot of resources available, especially for care partners. Dr Grouse: Those are really great tips. Thank you for bringing those up as potential other resources we can take advantage of. I wanted to ask specifically about physician-assisted death and assisted suicide, which certainly does come up, especially in later-stage parts of the disease. How can palliative care specialists be helpful when patients do express interest in these types of interventions? Dr Miyasaki: As you know, Katie, in Canada, we've had a legislative right to access to what we call medical assistance in dying. When the legislation passed, one of my other colleagues and I felt that these were the only conversations we were having with our patients. In all this experience, I have sort of developed in my mind a framework of people who are what we call MAID-curious. They want to know what their rights are and how it would look, when they feel the time is close, for them to exercise that right. And then there are those who are fearful of future suffering. And some of them may have a very unrealistic view of what the future will look like. And this may be in particular for multiple sclerosis because many of the public's view is based on what treatment was like thirty years ago. It may not be informed by more recent treatment where patients actually do quite well, and the majority never get to progressive MS. And so, to explore and be open to that request is the first thing that is important. And then if the person has unresolved symptoms that, traditionally, we can't care for, the palliative care specialist can be very helpful because they just have inventive ways of looking at things. They look at it outside the box, and they have a different toolkit available to them. I would not want all neurologists to just send all these patients requesting physician-assisted death to their palliative care colleagues. But I think for those who are having unaddressed symptoms, it can be very helpful. Certainly, if there is an acute event in the hospital, then this is a time of crisis. And often hospitals will have an in-hospital palliative care team who can come and speak to the patient about what is going on and address some of their needs. And I would also like to emphasize the importance of spiritual care, because for many of our patients, they are not just having the physical suffering, they are also having the spiritual suffering of hopelessness or of feeling that they are a burden or that they just are not seen because a lot of the symptoms in MS are invisible. To have that understanding by a spiritual care counselor is really helpful for the people to feel understood and to reduce some of that suffering. Dr Grouse: That's a really great point, I think, to end on, and I think it really ties in a lot of the themes that we've been talking about today. Thank you so much for coming to talk with us today. It's been such a pleasure having you both here. Dr Smyth: Thank you. Dr Miyasaki: Thank you, Katie. Dr Grouse: Again, today I've been interviewing Drs Penelope Smyth and Janis Miyasaki about their article on palliative care in multiple sclerosis, which appears in the April 2026 Continuum issue on multiple sclerosis.

La Sierra Leone cherche à faire valoir ses atouts pour développer le tourisme. L'un de ses joyaux se situe dans l'est du pays, sur le fleuve Moa : l'île Tiwai. Cette île intérieure regorge d'une biodiversité exceptionnelle, et notamment une grande variété de primates, ce qui lui a valu d'être classée au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco, en 2025. Les gestionnaires misent sur l'augmentation des revenus touristiques pour renforcer la protection du parc, et soutenir la recherche scientifique. De notre correspondant de retour de l'île Tiwai, Au cœur de la forêt luxuriante, c'est avec un large sourire qu'Amadou Youssouf accueille les visiteurs. Il est le responsable de la conservation dans le sanctuaire que constitue l'île Tiwai, en Sierra Leone. Gravement menacé à cause de la guerre civile, il y a une vingtaine d'années, ce sanctuaire de biodiversité se porte aujourd'hui mieux que jamais, grâce à la bonne gestion de l'ONG Environmental Foundation for Africa, qui est parvenue à le faire classer au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco : « Le parc a été sélectionné en 2023. Après avoir soumis nos dossiers, on a reçu la visite des examinateurs de l'Unesco, et finalement, le parc a été classé en 2025. C'est un grand succès pour nous ! On remarque déjà un effet sur la fréquentation du parc, le nombre de visiteurs a augmenté depuis l'an dernier. Cela nous donne plus de ressources pour protéger le parc et sa biodiversité exceptionnelle. » À lire aussiSierra Leone: l'île de Tiwai classée par l'Unesco pour sa biodiversité exceptionnelle Un centre de recherche scientifique Les visiteurs peuvent y admirer la grande variété de primates. À peine entré dans la forêt, on peut les voir sauter de branche en branche. Kinawa Kuruma est le guide forestier : « Il y a ici 11 espèces de primates ici, et notamment des cercopithèques diane. Ils sont très nombreux ici. On les reconnaît facilement, ils sont noirs et blancs, avec une teinture rouge dans le dos. Il y a aussi une grande variété d'oiseaux, comme des martins-pêcheurs à tête rousse. Les touristes adorent les prendre en photo quand on fait le tour de l'île en bateau. Nos visiteurs viennent de partout pour voir toutes ces espèces : on a des Américains, des Suisses, des Norvégiens... » L'île Tiwai n'est pas qu'une attraction touristique. Elle accueille aussi un centre de recherche scientifique, en partenariat avec l'université Njala de la ville de Bo, explique Amadou Youssouf : « Des chercheurs du département de biologie de l'université Njala viennent ici avec leurs étudiants. Ils mènent des recherches aussi bien sur la faune que sur la flore : les différents types de chimpanzés et d'oiseaux et la végétation, qui est aussi très riche. En ce moment, on accueille un doctorant. Il fait sa thèse sur le comportement des chimpanzés. Il a posé des caméras dans la forêt pour les observer. » Le succès du parc bénéficie aussi aux populations locales. C'était l'une des exigences de l'Unesco. Une partie des revenus issus du tourisme finance des projets de développement dans les villages voisins, notamment en soutenant l'agriculture.

With the announcement of their 25 rpm, I'm really beginning to have some doubts about their creativity of high performance cartridges. I have been shooting 300 wby mag for a long time and love the platform, but it seems like all of the newer better performance rounds are not coming from Weatherby. Most of the marketing I see from Weatherby is copying of homework from Hornady with like 15% more velocity. Curious if ya ll even have Weatherby on your radar or if I'm just living like it's 1994.

GOING BALLISTIC Professor Jens Ludwig Pushes Behavioral Training and Public Space Improvements for Gun Violence Reduction (Savage) University of Chicago Professor Jens Ludwig advocates alternatives to uncertain gun control measures, proposing behavioral training programs like ‘Becoming A Man' in Chicago public schools to teach de-escalation of conflicts and urban design changes such as converting empty lots to pocket parks. These interventions target intuitive human thinking patterns (95% of brain activity) and environmental factors in high-violence areas to prevent escalation to gun violence. Detailed in his 2025 book ‘Unforgiving Places: The Unexpected Origins of American Gun Violence,' the approach focuses on low-income U.S. neighborhoods without restricting firearms ownership.

The perpetrator violated federal law by possessing a firearm due to his prior felony conviction for shooting at a vehicle. The incident has sparked political commentary on gun control, with critics like California Gov. Gavin Newsom blaming the NRA and calling for restrictions. 13 U.S. Senators Demand ATF Stop Enforcing Vacated Biden-Era ‘Pistol Brace' Final Rule (Savage) Thirteen Republican U.S. Senators, led by Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), sent a letter to the ATF on April 15 demanding an end to enforcement of the vacated 2023 ‘Factoring Criteria for Firearms with an Attached Stabilizing Brace' rule, which classified most pistols with stabilizing braces as short-barreled rifles under the National Firearms Act. They urge the ATF to issue an interpretive rule clarifying that braced firearms are not SBRs and to seek a permanent injunction via ongoing litigation by Texas and Gun Owners of America. The rule was vacated by courts in August 2024, but ATF signals intent to continue its legal theory. REVIEWS Review: Brown guy 78 from Iowa Review from Brown guy 78, Solid gun knowledge, Shawn is deeply dove into giving the listeners knowledge, Jeremy is usually sick and snotty, but his knowledge is endless, Nick is the sharpest edge, maybe because he's silent most of the time. Aaron is absent . So yeah, great podcast! (Intentionally left Savage out.. fuck him.) 5 stars! Love this show! Review: Anonymous Coward from Florida PooP Review: Anonymous Coward from OR Hilarious that this guy is offended by Trump's actions where was he when Biden was falling down stairs tripping over chords calling out for a dead person in the crowd. Confused walking down the White House lawn passing the door He's supposed to be entering. Not sure where to go on stage....

THE AGENCY BRIEF Agency Update THE HOOK (COLD OPEN) “If you've ever wondered when the federal government decided your constitutional rights needed a permission slip and a background check, welcome to the Gun Control Act of 1968.” THE INTEL (THE STORY) Why?: The 1960s were a mess of race riots, civil unrest, and high-profile assassinations (JFK, MLK, RFK). The political elite used the national panic to ram through a wishlist of federal gun control they had wanted for decades, convincing the public that the legal supply chain was the enemy, rather than the radicals pulling the triggers. The Play-by-Play: What it did: Backroom Deals: Domestic gun manufacturers essentially sold out the people. They backed the bill because it banned the import of cheap, foreign-made handguns—effectively wiping out their competition. The Media Lie: The press sold the GCA as a “targeted” bill to stop assassins. They completely ignored that it effectively criminalized the interstate market, invented the “prohibited persons” list, and choked off the legal supply chain for everyday citizens. The Reality Check (Hidden Incentives): Rumors: Rumor (Highly Credible): Senator Thomas Dodd explicitly modeled the 1968 GCA after Nazi Germany's 1938 Weapons Law. Dodd was a prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials and public records confirm he had the Library of Congress translate the Nazi law. The structural parallels involving dealer licensing, tracking, and “sporting” clauses are nearly identical. Rumor: LBJ's push for the law was heavily influenced by elite, backroom fears of armed Black Panther patrols in California, rather than just the high-profile assassinations. Gun control is in fact rooted in racism. THE 2A ANGLE (LEGAL & IMPACT) The Threat: The GCA is the mother-ship of modern federal gun control. It created the Federal Firearms License (FFL) system, age restrictions, and the “prohibited persons” list. The ATF's current “zero tolerance” strategy of revoking licenses for misspelled words is entirely dependent on the FFL chokepoint created right here in '68. Bruen Test: Regulatory Creep: Pattern 1: Regulate the seller instead of banning the buyer (creating the FFL dependency). Pattern 2: Exploit intentionally vague language (like “engaged in the business”) so unelected bureaucrats can expand the law later without a Congressional vote. Pattern 3: Frame rights restrictions as “regulating interstate commerce” to bypass the Constitution. Pattern 4: Build the architecture of a registry quietly through compliance paperwork (Form 4473). THE TALKING POINTS (ON-AIR READY) WLS IS LIFESTYLE GFEN's Gun Maker's Match GMM is an annual DIY gun competition event that is the first official shooting competition exclusively for individuals who make their own guns. Multiple stage events are conducted for both Kit Built and 3D Printed guns in Pistol, PCC, and Rifle Divisions, with a special side match for .22lr 3D Printed Firearms. Guns For Everyone National has created the first Competition Series for 3D Printed & Kit Built Firearms.0 THE ALLEY AuxArc 3D Printable Firearms Holsters and Gear @AuxArc is a MakerWorld profile specializing in 3D printable models for firearms accessories, including holsters compatible with Glock 17/19 and Ruger RXM, as well as storage solutions for ammo and batteries. Pinned models feature OWB and IWB holsters with options for lights like Streamlight TLR-1/TLR-7 and optic cuts. These are designed for 3D printing with some watertight and parametric features, but no detailed mechanical specs beyond compatibility are provided. GOING BALLISTIC National Rifle Association v. NRA Foundation Lawsuit (Washington, D.C.) The NRA Foundation faces ongoing transparency issues in a lawsuit filed by the National Rifle Association alleging illegal trademark use and failure to distribute funds. The Washington, D.C. Attorney General's office mediated the dispute but efforts failed, leading to a FOIA request (R005465-030626) for leadership details. The Foundation provided its 2024 Form 990 but refuses to disclose current trustees, officers, or salaries until the 2025 filing on November 15, 2026. New York Proposed Bills Reclassify BB Guns and Air Guns as Imitation Firearms (Savage) New York lawmakers have introduced bills in both the Assembly and Senate to reclassify airguns, BB rifles, and pellet guns as imitation firearms, requiring barrel plugs and toy-like coloration that would render them non-functional for firing projectiles. This aims to prevent police shootings involving realistic-looking airguns mistaken for real firearms. Paintball guns are exempted but face a raised purchase age from 16 to 18, while manufacturers would be deemed firearms industry members subject to public nuisance lawsuits. Colorado SB 26-043: Firearm Barrel Background Checks (Savage) Colorado Senate Bill 26-043 requires background checks, dealer transfers, and five-year recordkeeping for sales or transfers of firearm barrels, treating them like complete firearms. Non-serialized barrels must be serialized, with penalties including up to 30 days in jail and $500 fine for first-offense violations. The bill targets ghost guns but imposes compliance on all law-abiding gun owners in Colorado. Virginia HB40: Spanberger Signs Ghost Gun Ban (Savage) Virginia Governor Spanberger signed HB40, banning the manufacture, transfer, sale, importation, and eventual possession of unserialized firearms and unfinished frames or receivers in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The law establishes a serialization process for federal firearms licensees but includes no grandfather clause. Most provisions take effect January 1, 2027, with the possession ban effective July 1, 2027.0 OCC and FDIC Final Rule Prohibiting Discrimination Against Firearm Companies (Savage) The OCC and FDIC have issued a new Final Rule that prohibits banking regulators from using ‘reputational risk' as a basis for supervisory actions against institutions serving the firearm and ammunition industry. This rule ends the practice of debanking lawful gun businesses by barring adverse actions based on political, social, or constitutionally protected activities. The National Shooting Sports Foundation praised it as a significant victory under the Trump administration. FPC Statement on Trump Administration's Decision to Support Biden ATF ‘Frame or Receiver' Rule (Savage) Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) issued a statement criticizing the Trump Administration for maintaining the Biden-era ATF ‘Frame or Receiver' rule after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld it in March 2025. Despite FPC providing a proposed alternative rule in May 2025 and numerous other recommendations, the Administration informed FPC it would preserve the existing definition of firearm ‘frame' and ‘receiver'. FPC accuses the Administration of actively working against Second Amendment rights rather than protecting them. OCC and FDIC Final Rule Prohibiting Reputational Risk-Based Debanking of Firearm Industry The OCC and FDIC issued a final rule that eliminates ‘reputational risk' as a basis for supervisory actions against banks, directly addressing debanking of lawful firearm and ammunition businesses. This change prohibits regulators from encouraging account closures based on political or social views, promoting objective banking supervision. The rule responds to prior findings of inappropriate distinctions against gun-related companies by FDIC-insured institutions. Virginia Proposed Assault Weapons Ban: Gun Store Sales Surge in Henrico County Gun sales in Virginia have surged dramatically as residents rush to purchase firearms ahead of a proposed state ‘assault weapons' ban set to prohibit AR-15 possession after July 1, 2026, unless owned prior. Background checks rose from 47,069 in March 2025 to 79,

Are semi-auto .22s really that inaccurate? For years, shooters have believed that to get true tack-driving precision from a rimfire rifle, you had to use a bolt-action. In this episode of the Guns Podcast US, host Brent Wheat and co-host Roy Huntington sit down to shatter the long-standing myth about the inaccuracy of semi-automatic rimfires. Roy shares his recent hands-on experience with the incredibly lightweight and hyper-accurate Ruger 10/22 Carbon Fiber. Weighing in at under 4 pounds and boasting a crisp 2.25-pound match trigger, this rifle completely blew Roy away — delivering one-hole groups at 50 yards and even letting him shoot a wasp right in half! The days of spending thousands on aftermarket parts to make a 10/22 accurate might be officially over. Listen in as they discuss the golden age of firearm manufacturing, how modern CNC machining has drastically improved factory rifles, and why this sub-$650 out-of-the-box rifle is an absolute game-changer for squirrel hunters, weekend competitors, and plinking enthusiasts alike. Key Takeaways · The traditional myth that semi-auto .22 LR rifles cannot rival bolt-action accuracy has been shattered by modern factory designs. · Ruger's new 10/22 Carbon Fiber model weighs less than 4 pounds and comes factory-equipped with a match-grade stainless steel barrel and a custom 2.25-pound trigger. · During testing with CCI Subsonic ammunition, the Ruger 10/22 Carbon Fiber consistently shot ragged, one-hole groups at 50 yards. · At an MSRP of roughly $650, the Ruger 10/22 Carbon Fiber delivers performance that previously required $1,500 to $2,000 in custom aftermarket parts to achieve. Modern CNC and EDM manufacturing processes have ushered in a golden age of firearms, making high-precision, sub-MOA guns readily available straight out of the box. -- The Guns Podcast is presented by EOTech.

Double Tap - Ep 456 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: C&G Holsters (Code: WLSISLIFE) Midwest Industries (Code: WLSISLIFE) Blue Alpha Bowers Group (Code: WLS) Otis Technology (Code: WELIKESHOOTING15) Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 Public Show Titles GunCon.net Tickets on sale now. Use code AGENCY171 DEAR WLS Question from Kyle R I have a Henry Supreme in 300 blk out used as a range toy. With the SBR tax stamps going to $0, I am considering having the barrel cut and threaded to 11”. This is basically the end of the stock forearm. I'm running it suppressed with subs only, as God and Jeremy demand. Is getting 5” cut off worth the effort for the performance/enjoyment return? Question from Andrew H Hey dudes, long time listener here dating back to 2016 and second time questioner. I'm in the market for a semi auto .22lr handgun so I'm sure Shawn already hates this question. It's purpose would be for frequent cheap target practice, and maybe occasional EDC as I prefer to carry 9mm. I am kind of between the Walther P22Q (tactical?) or the Taurus TX22, however welcome the groups recommendations on other firearms as well. Historically I've disliked every Taurus I've held or shot. Reviews are mixed on the P22 but I like the look and feel better. Love the show and all you guys do. Thanks until next time. #ssb Question from Nick F this year I turn 44, naturally I'd like to get myself a 44 magnum. y'all got any suggestions to solve my dirty harry dilemma? Question from Kyle R I was excited last year for Ohio to be hosting Guncon, but disappointed I couldn't make it. Sounds like I missed a bullet though. With Patton trying again, this time outside of “BEAUTIFUL” Youngstown, I'll get a second chance. Are all of the cast planning on going? Could this be the trip that finally gets Shawn to quit being a Commie and move to a respectable state? Question from Ben Dover Can you suggest a decently light hunting rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor? I have a Bergara B-14 HMR and I'd prefer something that weighs a bit less. Not looking to get into a Bergara after my first experience GUN INDUSTRY NEWS TACWRK Announces Tasmanian Tiger TT Mega Mil OPS Pack 600 TACWRK, in collaboration with Ripperkon, has released the largest Tasmanian Tiger backpack ever built, the TT Mega Mil OPS Pack 600, boasting a 900-liter capacity in Olive.

It emphasizes quick adjustments without tools for various scenarios. Specific manufacturers, models, prices, or retailers are not detailed. [Springfield Armory] Echelon with Aimpoint COA Springfield Armory's Echelon pistols are 9mm platforms available in 4.5F full-size (4.5-inch barrel), 4.0FC hybrid (full-size frame with compact slide), and 4.0C compact (4-inch barrel) variants, each factory-equipped with Aimpoint COA red dot optic.

Slide integrates Aimpoint A-CUT interface with front hook and rear wedge mounting for low position and co-witness irons. [Primary Arms] SLx Compact 4-16x44mm FFP Rifle Scope – Illuminated ACSS Deka G2 Reticle (Nick) The SLx® 4-16x44mm FFP Rifle Scope extends the trusted SLx optic line into the mid-power precision space, delivering a versatile magnification range in a surprisingly compact footprint. At just 10.1 inches in length, this scope is purpose-built for agile, low-profile setups—ideal for designated marksman rifles, hunting carbines, or compact bolt guns. Its streamlined form factor doesn't come at the cost of performance, making it an excellent option for shooters who demand long-range capability without adding bulk.0 BULLET POINTS Kinetic Development Group SideLok Optic Mounts Kinetic Development Group reaffirms a disciplined approach to SideLok optic mount development, a quick-detach system for Picatinny rails using a tool-less push-button mechanism that ensures absolute return to zero and rock-solid stability. Made primarily from 6061 aluminum with black anodized finish, the series includes mounts for red dots, scopes (30mm/34mm), and risers, emphasizing precision engineering for reliable field performance. Specs vary by model, such as the 34mm Optic Mount at 9.4 oz or Aimpoint Micro mount at 2.7 oz. PSA Sabre Ultratech OTF The PSA Sabre Ultratech is an out-the-front (OTF) automatic knife manufactured by Palmetto State Armory in collaboration with Microtech, built on Microtech's flagship Ultratech platform. It features a 3.44-inch M390 blade with mixtape finish, lightweight aluminum handle, reversible pocket clip, and integrated glass breaker. Designed and manufactured in the USA, it offers smooth OTF deployment via side switch. Suppressor-Optimized Subsonic Ammunition Suppressor-optimized subsonic ammunition features bullets traveling under ~1,100 fps to avoid sonic cracks, maximizing sound suppression when paired with suppressors on firearms like those with threaded barrels. Key examples include .300 Blackout (subsonic 180-220-grain loads) and .338 ARC (subsonic 307-grain at 1,050 fps), ideal for stealthy or hearing-safe shooting in manually-operated rifles. Suppressors reduce muzzle blast but require subsonic ammo for full effect, with .338 ARC offering superior terminal energy over .300 Blackout out to 500 yards. NRA App The NRA App is a free digital application developed by the National Rifle Association for iOS and Android devices, designed to enhance member engagement through convenient access to resources like news, digital publications, local events, and member benefits.

THE ALLEY Silencer Central Suppressors Coming Off ITAR Regulatory Win The X post from Silencer Central links to a blog announcing suppressors being removed from ITAR regulations, reducing export restrictions and red tape for manufacturers. This allows focus on innovation and international sales while benefiting traveling hunters and shooters. No specific product model is detailed in the page content. GOING BALLISTIC The Trace Adds New Board Members: Elizabeth Weinreb Fishman, Trymaine Lee, and Julia Turner (Savage) The Trace, an anti-gun media organization linked to Michael Bloomberg's Everytown for Gun Safety, announced three new board members on March 22, 2026: Elizabeth Weinreb Fishman (media strategist with Surgeon General ties), Trymaine Lee (journalist with shared awards), and Julia Turner (former Slate editor and L.A. Material co-founder). The article scrutinizes their backgrounds for credential exaggerations amid The Trace's efforts to expand anti-gun advocacy. No specific legal cases, bills, or jurisdictions are mentioned.0 Shall Not Be Infringed Act (Introduced by Rep. John McGuire) (Savage) The Shall Not Be Infringed Act, introduced by Rep. John McGuire (R-Virginia) on March 16, targets gun-free zones by allowing individuals harmed in such areas to sue the establishing government entities for damages. It defines gun-free zones as areas prohibiting public carry under federal, state, or local law and ties compliance to federal funding like Byrne-JAG and COPS grants. The bill aims to hold states and localities liable if victims were legally authorized to carry in their home state and could have mitigated harm. ATF Admits It's Still Enforcing Pistol Brace Rules — Even After the Rule Was Killed (Mock v. Garland) (Savage) Despite federal courts vacating the ATF's 2023 pistol brace rule nationwide in cases like Mock v. Garland, a recent DOJ filing in Texas v. ATF asserts continued enforcement of NFA short-barreled rifle provisions against certain braced pistols. The ATF claims this aligns with pre-rule statutory interpretations under the National Firearms Act and Gun Control Act. Gun owners face renewed concerns over potential felony prosecutions despite the rule's defunct status.2818 Michigan's Extreme Risk Protection Order Act: Report on 89% Ex Parte Gun Confiscations (Savage) A report reveals that 89 percent of Michigan's red flag law gun confiscations in 2025 occurred via ex parte orders without prior notice to the subject. Ex parte orders increased by more than 30 percent from 2024, with 459 such requests filed in 2025. The law allows seizure from subjects including minors and even third parties under an expansive definition of firearm possession. H.R. 556: Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act – House Passage (Savage) The U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 556, the Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act, on March 23, 2026. The bill prohibits the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture from imposing blanket restrictions on lead ammunition or fishing tackle on federal lands without scientific support and consistency with state laws.

Men's Basketball vs Howard and Saint Louis Starts at 0:51 This is part one of a part two podcast! Which Robbie Avila nickname was your favorite? Of the last ten times Michigan has made the tournament they've been in the Sweet Sixteen nine. Were Beilein teams built better for the tournament than for the Big Ten? Howard shot 48% from three, the only reason they were able to get to 80 points. What Wisconsin nonsense is this? Michigan shoots 84% from two, one of those misses was from Oscar Goodman. Roddy Gayle was uninspiring in the Big Ten Tournament but returned to his March form. Moving on to Saint Louis, they're a dangerous offensive team but there was no way they were going to be able to check Michigan. Somehow Saint Louis was the #1 field goal efficiency defense in the country, it's a good sign that Michigan shot 1.35 PPP. Avila fell for Mara's fake pass. Since they started counting blocks Michigan is the first team to have all starters score 10+ points and have a block. The Mara we're seeing now is night and day from what we saw at the beginning of the season. Could you convince him to come back another year? What was up with that non-flagrant foul that ended up being a foul on Burnett? Technically it was a cylinder foul. High Point isn't a real school, you should only schedule real schools. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP] 2. Spring Football Bits Starts at 34:37 There are finally enough bits coming out of the spring! Ron Bellamy is back as director of player personnel, which makes all the sense in the world. Apparently Whittingham wanted to come back to Utah but he wouldn't have as much control over decision making so he left. What exactly happened here? We thought he was retiring but clearly he didn't. Manuel Beigel moved to offensive line, this is concerning because there are plenty of offensive lineman and this team needs defensive tackles. In more positive news, Savion Hiter is already running with the ones. His built is like Jabrill Peppers. The defense will "resemble the 2023 defense" in terms of style, according to Jay Hill. It will depend what they can get out of Zeke Berry and Rod Moore. Injured guys are still injured. Receiver depth is Marsh, Ffrench, Moa, and Buchanon. Defensive tackle tea leaves are... uhhh... concerning? You need four decent defensive tackles, they currently have three and there's no guarantee that any of them are good. Maybe that's why Hiter is getting so many yards in practice. The NDSU linebacker captain needs to simmer for a bit, he just got here. If one of the best offensive line coaches in the country is excited then we're excited. If Babalola actually starts he'll be an All-American. Sounds like they're kicking Link inside? 3. Hot Takes and Hockey Tournament Starts at 1:02:51 Takes hotter than Howard for the last 10 minutes of the first half. Michigan gets the #1 overall seed in hockey, their reward is a game against Bentley in Albany. They also won the Big Ten Tournament after a 7-3 win over Ohio State. They get medals but not stoats. Playing a team with tournament lives on the line was really good practice. They were so excited to win a banner. Did you know Gonzaga used to have a hockey team. Bentley is 23rd in NPI which is better than their conference usually does. Doesn't look like a team that will threaten Michigan but anything crazy can happen in this tournament. The matchup is there against Penn State but the vibes are annoying since Michigan has already played them five times (and lost once). Will the building have 12 people in it? Minnesota-Duluth had a really good nonconference run but fell off towards the end of the season. They swept Minnesota which doesn't mean much this year. Congratulations Western Michigan, you are a #1 seed and you probably get to play Denver at altitude if you win your first game. The committee doesn't want schools to have home games but then they either give schools "home" games or play in empty rinks. This game should be at Yost and it would be nuts, Michigan deserves the home advantage that they earned. If Wisconsin gets goaltending they're a top four team, if not they'll lose in the first round.

For millions of years, the islands of New Zealand remained a pristine wilderness, untouched by human footsteps. That changed in the 13th century when the world's most elite mariners executed one of history's greatest feats of navigation. Guided by the stars and ocean swells, the Māori arrived with a "Great Fleet" of double-hulled canoes, completing the final chapter of Polynesian migration. From the extinction of the giant Moa to resistance to the British, the Māori established a culture that endures to this day.

Double Tap - Ep 451 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Gideon Optics (Code: WLSISLIFE) Primary Arms Blue Alpha Rost Martin (Code: WLSISLIFE) Otis Technology (Code: WELIKESHOOTING15) Mitchell Defense (Code: WLS10) Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 Public https://welikeshooting.com/titles/ DEAR WLS Note Question from Mistertheguyaskingaquestion. I recently ordered my first suppressor since I live in a comme state now and they're trying to put a $500 tax on suppressors. I got a resilient suppressors, simple man 30 cal can. 2 questions. One, Is this a decent suppressor for the $500 I paid. Two, how many rounds do you think it will last. I will mostly be using it on bolt actions with occasional use on an ar. Great show! Question from Anonymous Coward from GA If reasonable fear of grave bodily harm justifies self defence, and whistles and bullhorns cause permanent hearing damage, why aren't we shooting protesters? Question from Dusky from Florida Dear WLS, We are seeing quite a bit of piston driven rifle systems, mainly AR (cause fuck everything else) hit not only the market but the front lines and the streets in some cases as it seems to be being issued more often. I understand the basic concept of the piston driven rifle; doesn't dump trash and heat into the bolt so much as well as other things… (maybe Jeremy can even explain some of the differences of some of the different piston systems, if we're lucky enough for him to oblige us in between burps and yawns and hitting his mic if he'snot playing clash of clans [love you Jerombe]) So why though? Probably has a lot to do with the previously stated reason, as well as running suppressors being common SOP for many, which brings up my question – Will we ever see more piston systems than DI? Do you think there will be a point where that happens, is there that much of an advantage for that to be a likely scenario? Thank you for your time. Dusky. Some notes. Question from DrCivilRightsGuy Hey guys. It's MLK weekend and I feel the Democrats sold black people a promise of prosperity and then decided to renig, ergo their situation may be worse now than before the civil rights movement. Many leaders came out of that flotsam, both MLK and Malcolm X rose above the rest. Both were very pro-gun but had different ideas on how to fight injustice. What does the cast think could have happened if the 70s went X's way instead of MLK's? What would both say about how things are now? Also, did nick just drop an n-bomb and then call those two heroes “sambos”? DrCivilRightsGuy Question from Anonymous Coward from Michigan With NFA stamps costing $0, I'm about to SBR a metric ton of lowers and would like to do my own NFA engraving. Anyone have experience with laser engravers and if so, any recommendation? Question from LagDemon from LagDemon if you had a mp5k/ clone and it had a 3 lug barrel and threads would you get a 3 lug mount or some kind of mount for the threaded? Question from Anonymous Coward from WA Cat Facts # 171 said Shawn likes going both ways with cats but wont have a threesome. I find this odd and wanna know why he doesn't have the courage to go all the way. We all know he has the balls but thats a whole nother story.

Double Tap - Ep 448 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Primary Arms Night Fision (Code: WLSISLIFE) Otis Technology (Code: WELIKESHOOTING15) Second Call Defense Mitchell Defense (Code: WLS10) Swampfox Optics Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 New Public notes page. DEAR WLS Question from Dependable Don Hey bob what's it going to take to get a couple Gideon optics in ace vr….. I know your listening make it happen and the fans will try to stop Aaron from doing a over the pants handy Question from Duke of Crude from Texas Duke of Crude: Why is 28 gauge becoming more popular than 16 gauge? I ve been dabbling into shotguns recently and have noticed a large amount of 28 gauge availability even at places like Walmart. Notes: Savage is now Jar Jar binks with his stupid ass avatars he uses on the show to match some of the stupid ass comments he says. Also this being written in January, will Aaron go through more jobs, relationships, or vehicles in 2026? Question from Anonymous Coward from Florida Hi. Could y'all explain the legal process of building an sbr at home? I asked a local shop about doing the paperwork through them just to make it simple and their $200 fee, while probably reasonable, kind of put a damper on my excitement for free tax stamps. I know I need to get fingerprints and pictures done and engrave my address on the gun. What are my best options for accomplishing those things myself? Question from Anonymous Coward from Nebraska Dear wls. I have a bolt action 6.5 creedmoor pistol if I SBR it and for whatever reason want to unsbr it what would I have to do? Question from Anonymous Coward from NC Question for the cast from RealDeal Episode 644 got me thinking about printing suppressors. What if a company sold you a mounting device, either direct thread or QD, that is made of a material that can handle the heat. Then that company will sell along with it a STL file that allows you a certain number of prints or unlimited prints of the actual baffles/can. It would thread onto the mount that is on your gun and you could print an unlimited number of replacement “cans”. Just a thought that popped in. Also the only serialized part would be the mount. So you can just throw away the printed portion and slap on a new one. Let me know your thoughts. #textwhiledriving #agency171 #wls Question from Jaqin Ta'Sox from CT From Jaqin Ta'Sox: Question: Can you choose the order that the episodes are loaded into podcasts or is my app screwing with me? I ask because I'll listen to an episode with a guest, the listen to the following episode in the app and it says we have a guest in the next show. I feel like it keeps spoiling the surprise.
