After killing protestor Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol Police officer Michael Byrd attempted to purchase a shotgun later that year—but he failed the federal background check and was prevented from doing so.
Byrd’s failed FBI background check was revealed by House Oversight Subcommittee Chair Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., in a Wednesday letter to Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger. The letter was first reported by Just the News.
“In September 2021, Byrd attempted to personally purchase a shotgun but failed to pass the background check required by federal law. Byrd subsequently sought USCP’s help in resolving the issue with his background check,” Loudermilk said in his letter.
“After learning that Byrd failed his background check, USCP took steps to provide him with a USCP-issued shotgun and intended to ‘lend’ him a shotgun even if his background check ‘did not come through.’ Ultimately, Byrd failed his shotgun proficiency and was not provided a USCP-issued shotgun,” he added.
Loudermilk’s letter also revealed new details about other scandals involving Byrd, including the time he shot at a carful of juveniles while he was off duty in 2004, and the time he left his loaded service weapon in a Capitol Visitor’s Center bathroom. […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
