I try to pay as little attention possible to “influencers” in general, but 20-year-old Braden Peters, better known as “Clavicular,” popped up on my news feed this week after landing himself in hot water for a gun-involved incident in Florida. Peters is facing misdemeanor charges…

On Wednesday, Cam wrote about a YouTube channel publishing AI slop, claiming that carry permits were struck down nationwide. That’s one of those “big if true” moments that we all know isn’t true. They could have done that with the Bruen decision, if so inclined, and this is the…
