There’s no doubt that Missouri is one of, if not the most, pro-gun states in the nation. I mean, this is a state that took sanctuary status for the Second Amendment and enshrined it into law via the Second Amendment Preservation Act. Unfortunately, that law was overturned by the courts, which cited the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. (Cool, now do immigration sanctuary laws, guys.)Now, the state is once again considering how to bulk up its protections for the gun rights of Missourians, while trying not to cross the line where the law gets smacked…
Regional organizations unite to strategize on Second Amendment defense The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) is organizing the first-ever New England Firearms Advocacy Conference, scheduled for May 30, 2026, at Castle of Knights in Chicopee, Massachusetts. The event brings together six regional Second Amendment organizations: Connecticut Citizens Defense League, Massachusetts Gun Owners’ Action League, Gun Owners of Maine, New Hampshire Firearms Coalition, Rhode Island 2nd Amendment Coalition, and Vermont Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs. Conference chair Holly Sullivan, who serves as CCRKBA Director, explained the strategic thinking behind the regional approach. “We wanted to create…
The Florida Department of Health’s officials have released an update on a measles outbreak at a university. There have been 46 confirmed cases of measles across Collier County from January 1st to February 7th. Fifty-seven students at Ave Maria University are quarantined, so far, as the school works on providing free vaccinations to those who may want them. The vigorous campaign to vaccinate the masses is being promoted as a way to protect the community. Local fire departments are also working closely with health officials to hand out vaccines. Collier County has said that the majority of the Ave Maria University…
Most flipper knives require a bit of actual flipping to open the blade. But with the WEKnife Speedliner, a late 2024 introduction designed by Tashi Bharucha, it’s more like pulling a trigger. WEKnife sent me a Speedliner Flipper Knife with a titanium handle around the holidays. I hadn’t sought it out, but it arrived with a brief note of thanks and carried my name on the handle. I didn’t think much of reviewing it until now, a couple of months later, as it has really earned a spot in my daily rotation. While the Speedliner seemed to garner a lukewarm…
New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment…and unconstitutional gun control. How is a state, with a population of just over two million people, always the vetting ground for gun control zealots’ bright ideas? Before legislation is handed over to legislators in “un-gun friendly” states like California, Illinois, New York and Washington, it always seems like gun control groups like Michael Bloomberg backed Everytown, or Giffords use New Mexico as a beta-test to see how much “they” can get away with before ending up arguing before SCOTUS. Under the abysmal “leadership” of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, the answer to violence committed…

As I make my way around a hairpin left, a 30-degree slope enters my vision. Undeterred, I turn on X-mode and start to ascend. The Dunlop Grandtrek all-terrain tires momentarily slip and strain as I climb. But the 2026 Toyota BZ Woodland dutifully marches up the grade, greeting me with a stunning vista of rolling hills and avocado farms beneath me as the cobalt Pacific Ocean wafts in the distance. With 8.4 inches of ground clearance, standard all-wheel drive, and nearly 400 pound-feet of torque to play with, the bZ Woodland makes ventures like this comfortable. And, thankfully, I only…
New Mexico’s legislature is supposed to adjourn at noon on Thursday, and the next 48 hours are going to be a chaotic rush to move bills before the deadline. Gun owners and FFLs in the state got a small bit of good news early Tuesday morning, when a House committee delayed a vote on SB 17, but it’s still far too soon to declare victory. The House Judiciary committee didn’t take up the sweeping gun ban and gun dealer bill until late Monday evening, and after about an hour of discussion decided to hold off…
In the quiet countryside of Polk County, Florida, long-range steel targets ring out past 500 yards and sometimes far beyond. According to a report from Gulf Coast News, civilians are training in what some describe as “military-style” skills at facilities like Bone Valley Industries, where retired Air Force two-star Gen. Rick “RB” Mattson is now a co-owner. What used to be considered an impressive 500-yard shot, Mattson says, is no longer unusual. Modern rifles, optics, and training have expanded civilian capability dramatically (don’t we know it!). Sharing the same grounds is another company, Barrel & Hatchet, owned in part by…
National Rifle Association members are navigating the conflict between the Association and NRA Foundation; the Friends of NRA Program is still on with funds going to other (c)(3)s. Earlier this year the National Rifle Association filed a lawsuit against the NRA Foundation. The NRA alleges that the Foundation is withholding crucial funds earmarked for NRA flagship programs. The NRA said that some programs — like ones benefiting law enforcement — were cut over 55 percent. NRA members and supporters have been worried about the state of the Friends of the NRA programs since this feud…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. By the time we got to this stage, I always thought that most people would understand what was happening. But of course, that isn’t true at all. Even though we are literally right on the brink of an apocalyptic war with Iran, most of the population doesn’t seem too concerned. But they should be. The Iranian regime has already shown that it is willing to gun down tens of thousands of its own people. When it comes to securing the survival of their regime, there is no…
Gun registration is something almost every anti-gunner wants, and every gun rights advocate opposes. It’s not just that gun registration leads to confiscation; it’s that it’s absolutely ridiculous if the reason is to combat crime, which is how it’s always sold to the American people. Luckily, we don’t have gun registration, do we?Uh…yeah, about that.I’ve always said that the Form 4473 we fill out when we buy a gun is a kind of registration in and of itself. It’s an inefficient one, but still registration. The upside was that with face-to-face transfers, you weren’t locked…
Mikhail Gorbachev had been the leader of the Soviet Union for just 13 days when he was suddenly faced with an international crisis.On March 24, 1985, a Soviet sentry shot and killed U.S. Army Maj. Arthur D. “Nick” Nicholson Jr. near a tank storage building in Ludwigslust, East Germany. Nicholson was unarmed and in his uniform. His vehicle carried clearly marked plates identifying him as a member of the U.S. Military Liaison Mission, an organization authorized by both governments to operate in the other’s territory.The U.S. Department of War officially considers his death a murder. It also considers Nicholson the…
