As much as gun-rights activists and pro-rights politicians have embraced the new Second Amendment Section within the Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) civil rights division, anti-gun advocates somehow hate the new office even more.That was made evident by a January 5 letter written to the DOJ by two longtime gun-ban advocates in the U.S. Senate. U.S. Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vermont, and U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, jointly penned a letter criticizing the new office, which is intended to protect Americans’ Second Amendment rights from infringements by all levels of government. As Harmeet Dhillon, assistant attorney general in the Civil Rights Division,…
The Supreme Court has explicitly stated that, in order for a modern gun law to be constitutionally sound, it must comply with the text of the Second Amendment as well as the history and tradition of gun ownership (and gun regulation). So far, though, the Court hasn’t given a whole lot of advice as to what constitutes a national tradition. In Bruen, SCOTUS doubted that “just three colonial regulations could suffice to show a tradition of public-carry regulation,” but declined to state definitely what would suffice; both in terms of the number of laws as well as when those laws…
This article was originally published by Joshua Mawhorter at The Mises Institute. After the failures of socialism—economically, historically, and ethically—the Left-liberal intellectuals, not wanting to abandon socialism, employed several new strategies. It has been suggested that these several manifestations can be subsumed under one general category—postmodernism. After a review of postmodern philosophy and philosophical influences, Stephen Hicks explains his central argument in Explaining Postmodernism: “Postmodernism is the academic far Left’s epistemological strategy for responding to the crisis caused by the failures of socialism in theory and in practice.” In other words, once socialism was discredited theoretically, economically (in several ways), historically, and ethically, those who were still ideologically committed to…
Taurus is starting 2026 with an all-new pistol series in the form of the new “duty-grade” TX9 pistol series. A new striker-fired platform that is essentially the final realization of the TX platform, full of all the features that Taurus has tested out and proven on previous generation pistols. The new duty series of pistols will feature three variants to start, including full-size, compact, and subcompact 9mm pistols, which can all share a serialized internal chassis, allowing users to switch between frame sizes as needed. company as its first purpose-built, duty-grade pistol platform. Expanding the highly successful Taurus TX™ Platform…
A common refrain from gun rights advocates–common because it’s true–is that gun control will work just as well as drug control has worked. After all, we just removed a dictator from Venezuela for his role in funneling cocaine into the United States. We’re still fighting the Mexican cartels to try and keep them from funneling their products onto American streets, and we have the Chinese helping the fentanyl trade. Drugs are all over the place, and despite being restricted even more tightly than guns are in many ways, we’re not doing a lot to stop…
There are plenty of reasons to be excited about the new year, but, unsurprisingly, the folks at GJ are most stoked to see what new gear comes out in 2026. If this week’s Emerging Gear is any indication, there will be plenty of cutting-edge tech, including exoskeletons that promise to minimize wear and tear on your body, and ultra-fast e-foils that speed through the water. Other new gadgets include a waterproof virtual dog leash and a nearly bombproof power station. Find it all below. High-Tech Leg Support (Photo/Ascentiz) Exoskeletons were a big trend in 2025, and Ascentiz is leading the…
Anniversaries are very important to many people, but particularly anti-gunners. I don’t think any amount of time is too great for them to try and use the anniversary of a shooting to push their gun control agenda. For example, Gabby Giffords was shot, along with many others, 15 years ago on Thursday. It was a tragic shooting, of course, and no one is going to say it was acceptable, but the truth of the matter is that it was a decade and a half ago.But for Giffords and her buddies, the anniversary is an opportunity,…
The first 48-72 hours of the investigation into what led to the fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis will shed more light on federal training and vetting practices though mixed messages from public officials in the investigation’s infancy are “not ideal,” a U.S. Navy veteran and former law enforcement member told Military.com.A national conversation that has included public protests remains ongoing following the deadly shooting of a Minnesota mother, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, 37, by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer on Wednesday. The Trump administration, shortly in the aftermath of the killing, accused the victim of “domestic…
Not only are all Jeep 4xe vehicles cancelled, but all Chrysler, Dodge, and Alfa Romeo plug-in hybrids (PHEV) as well. This change in powertrain offerings across all Stellantis brands is effective immediately, as there will now be no 2026 PHEVs. Rumors spread fast online yesterday about Stellantis cancelling all PHEVs, so I reached out directly to a spokesperson with the brand. “Stellantis continually evaluates its product strategy to meet evolving customer needs and regulatory requirements. With customer demand shifting, Stellantis will phase out plug‑in hybrid (PHEV) programs in North America beginning with the 2026 model year, and focus on more…
Ruth Birch and Julia Currey fell in love with each other while serving in the British Army. But because the U.K. had a ban on same-sex couples until 2000, Currey and Birch’s relationship was shrouded in secrecy until they eventually decided separate and leave the army. While the pain and humiliation they endured decades ago can never be rectified, Britian has found a way to honor LGBT veterans, while acknowledging a history of discrimination. A large sculpture, called “An Opened Letter,” has been placed in the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, England. In his first official engagement to support the LGBT…
Support for the lawsuit challenging California’s restrictive law requiring a background check for the purchase of ammunition is gaining steam. We recently reported how, in the case Rhode v. Bonta, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) and the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) kicked off the new year by filing a brief with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in support of the challenge. Since then, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and a coalition of 23 state attorneys general and two Arizona lawmakers have also filed briefs with the court in support of the challenge.…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at the End of the American Dream. Things are getting very tense in the Middle East. The Islamic radicals who are ruling Iran believe that the United States and Israel intend to use the mass protests that have been going on for nearly two weeks to try to overthrow their regime. If Ayatollah Khamenei and his top advisers reach a point where they are convinced that the Iranian government could actually fall, there is no telling what they might decide to do. Meanwhile, President Trump has declared that the U.S. is ready…
In the aftermath of what happened in Minnesota on Wednesday, the narrative surrounding ICE has gotten…interesting. I’ve seen people claiming ICE has no arrest powers unless someone is an illegal immigrant, which is a bonkers take, among other insanity. But the truth of the matter is that there’s been a lot of hostility toward ICE over the last year. It’s been reported that the ICE agent who took the shots on Wednesday had been dragged from another vehicle not all that long ago.And in Chicago, of all places, an indictment this week showed that a…
