Special: Multiplayer FPS mechanics simulating gang-related activities including drive-bys and turf control Bullet Points Shootingnewsweekly Reality Check on Selling Used Guns from a Gun Store Owner A gun store owner provides practical advice for individuals looking to sell firearms, emphasizing that stores buy at wholesale to resell at a profit, resulting in offers significantly below retail or online private sale values. Condition, make, model, and current market demand heavily influence offers, with common guns often yielding low returns while rare or high-demand items fare better. Sellers are encouraged to understand these economics before visiting a shop. Availability: Best Use Case (selling/trading-in used firearms at retail gun stores rather than private sale or auction) Special: Pro: Quick, legal transaction with no advertising or stranger meetings; Con: Significantly lower payout than private sale due to store’s resale margin and overhead Bearingarms The Sad Demise of a Down Under Gun Shop An Australian gun shop is closing after decades in business due to increasingly restrictive firearms laws, declining customer base, and regulatory burdens that made operations unsustainable.

A Shooting News Weekly article in the “Going Ballistic” segment argues that gun control organizations’ strategy of using fear-based messaging to influence young adults on firearms policy has produced mixed results. Rather than uniformly driving support for stricter laws, the approach has sometimes led to increased interest in gun ownership and self-defense among younger demographics. The piece highlights polling and cultural trends showing that fear induction does not consistently translate into the intended political outcomes. The Gist: Affects U.S. young adults (primarily ages 18-29) and national gun control advocacy organizations such as those promoting restrictive firearms legislation. Impact: Undermines the political effectiveness of fear-based advocacy campaigns; may contribute to rising firearms ownership and Second Amendment support among younger voters, complicating legislative efforts at federal and state levels. Bottom Line: Fear-based gun control messaging does not always produce the desired anti-gun sentiment in young adults and can backfire by encouraging personal firearms acquisition. Tom's Hardware Researchers Train AI to Detect Concealed Handguns Using Wi-Fi Signals — Open-Source WiFireNet on 802.11a The experimental prototype cannot pinpoint the weapon's location on the carrier Researchers developed WiFireNet, an open-source AI system that detects concealed handguns by analyzing distortions in Wi-Fi signals caused by metal objects. The model was trained and tested on the older 802.11a standard, using Channel State Information (CSI) to identify how weapons alter wireless signal propagation. It achieves high precision in controlled environments without requiring cameras or traditional sensors. The Gist: Affects public spaces, transportation hubs, and venues using legacy 802.11a Wi-Fi infrastructure; tested on human subjects carrying or not carrying firearms in various configurations. Impact: Enables non-visual, privacy-preserving weapon detection for security screening; raises questions around surveillance expansion, data privacy of Wi-Fi CSI, and potential use in law enforcement or private security without physical pat-downs. Bottom Line: WiFireNet demonstrates that older Wi-Fi hardware can be repurposed for AI-driven concealed handgun detection via signal distortion analysis, offering an open-source alternative to camera-based systems with strong reported precision.
