Every year, brands trim the fat to stay lean in a constantly evolving automotive landscape. The transition to electrification keeps manufacturers’ sights fixed on new horizons, with little regard for the past—apart from nostalgic designs and decals. There are still nameplates that keep providing what we enjoy most about cars: the fact that they still need a driver behind the wheel. It’s easy to find a new car that can change lanes, brake, parallel park, and even call first responders upside down. But, what makes a car boring is exactly all of that. For us at CarBuzz to have an…

Some of the best meals I’ve ever had have been outside, hanging out around a fire at a campground, or miles into the backcountry. Maybe I was just hungry after a long day in the mountains. Or maybe food tastes better when it’s eaten outside. Either way, having a dialed camp kitchen makes those meals even more enjoyable to cook (and eat). Over the years, my setup has evolved as I’ve developed new systems and collected new gear. Once upon a time, my camp kitchen was pretty rudimentary. Those days are long gone, though. After years of slowly dialing the camp…

Guns are a key part of American culture, but we can’t escape that they’re also a key thing various extremist groups are going to want to get their hands on. Part of the reason our gun rights matter is that extremists will get firearms, and we need to be able to protect ourselves from such people. Other countries like to think they have a more enlightened approach to extremism. They have a lot of stern language about extremism, leave most people open to being killed without the means to defend themselves, and then, when something happens,…

Fresh on the heels of its lawsuit challenging Denver, Colorado’s ban on “assault weapons,” the Department of Justice has now filed a new complaint in federal court taking on the state’s ban on “large capacity” magazines.  As Bearing Arms reported on Tuesday, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser was recently sent a demand letter from DOJ’s Civil Rights Division warning of litigation if the state continued to enforce its prohibition on the sale, transfer, and in many cases, the possession of ammunition magazines that can hold more than 15 rounds. Now the DOJ has followed up…

A coalition of House Democrats introduced legislation on Tuesday that would prohibit additional federal funding for military action against Iran unless Congress formally authorizes the conflict through an authorization for the use of military force, or a declaration of war. The legislation, titled the “No Funds for Iran War Act,” is backed by 18 Democratic House lawmakers, including multiple military veterans and ranking members on the chamber’s House Armed Services, Foreign Affairs and Intelligence committees. The bill comes forward as the military operation in Iran, that began with strikes by the United States and Israel on Feb. 28, surpassed its…

Iran launched its first missile and drone attack on the United Arab Emirates since a ceasefire with the United States took effect on April 8th. It also fired two drones at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, UAE authorities said Monday. Iran Says The US Is Lying About Striking Iranian Boats This news comes as the US announced it will temporarily pause “Project Freedom,” a “humanitarian effort” aimed at guiding vessels and oil tankers safely through the Strait of Hormuz, as the blockades affect global oil supply. The U.S. military said two commercial vessels safely transited the key waterway…

It isn’t often that a National Guard Assault Helicopter Battalion has to rescue hikers and their pets, but when they do, they’re well-equipped for the job. On May 2, the Tennessee Army National Guard assisted the Nolichuckey Fire Department and local search and rescue (SAR) teams in extracting a lost hiker and his German shepherd from the Sampson Mountain Wilderness in the Cherokee National Forest. The hiker had gotten turned around and was stranded in a ravine overnight. The victim was discovered by rescue personnel in a hypothermic state, wearing just shorts and a T-shirt. He’d been missing for almost…

We all know how anti-gun California is. As a result, it was never a surprise that they’d crack down on privately made firearms. It wasn’t enough to mandate a serial number be obtained, which was already bad enough, but people could still pursue the hobby lawfully. No, they went full hog and banned all of it, even possessing the files. And then they started suing people who provided files for anyone to download, apparently thinking that shouldn’t be allowed since California is so important. After all, they try to dictate plenty to the rest of…

Wilson Combat is stepping into a slightly different lane with its latest handgun, and it’s not just another striker-fired clone. Meet the BULWARK. This new midsize 9mm is built around an enclosed internal hammer-fired system, aiming to deliver the trigger feel of a traditional hammer gun without the bulk—or snag points—of an exposed hammer. That alone sets it apart in a market dominated by striker-fired pistols. Instead of relying on a spring-driven striker, the BULWARK uses a fully enclosed hammer system. The goal here is pretty straightforward: combine the reliability and ignition consistency of a hammer gun with a clean,…
