The greatest part about gear is that it’s always evolving and getting better. Nowhere is that more evident than at Denver’s Outdoor Market Alliance (OMA) gear show, where some of the hottest and most innovative brands gather biannually to show off their latest and greatest products. And this year, for the winter show, they brought their A-game. GearJunkie hit the floor of OMA running, buzzing around from brand to brand, getting the lowdown on some of the coolest gear we’ve seen all season. We saw premium rooftop tents with built-in couches, Kevlar avalanche airbag vests, the most versatile headlamp we’ve…
Usually, when I see something from outside of the United States that is even remotely associated with gun control, it’s someone who doesn’t live here saying that we should totally do what the rest of the world did because rights aren’t really a good reason to preserve a right, or something to that effect. Every now and then, though, we get something kind of based.I’m not quite sure I’ll put this piece in that camp, but I do appreciate it. After all, when someone looks beyond high-profile shootings and looks at American high-profile stabbings, it’s…
Costa Rica banned sport hunting years ago. And recently, it emphasized that point to the world. Under the country’s Wildlife Conservation Law No. 7317, hunting is broadly prohibited, with only narrow exceptions for population control and subsistence. If you’re a North American hunter hoping Costa Rica might one day reopen opportunities, this law makes it clear that’s not the direction they’re heading. Let’s break it down. Sport Hunting? Explicitly Prohibited Article 14 lays it out plainly: “Hunting for sport is strictly prohibited; hunting shall be permitted solely for population control and subsistence.” That’s not vague language. That’s a hard line.…
Global oil prices jumped by as much as 13% on Monday. This major spike comes after a round of intense joint United States-Israeli strikes on Iran triggered major concerns about global economic disruption of tanker traffic. Vessels travelling through the Strait of Hormuz have already been heavily impacted as attacks continue across the Middle East. Multiple vessels in the area have received VHF transmission from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards that “no ship is allowed to pass the Strait of Hormuz”, an official with the European Union naval mission Aspides told Reuters. The Strait of Hormuz is the narrow waterway between Iran…
After listening to the full two hours of oral arguments in U.S. v. Hemani on Monday morning, I’m willing to make a couple of predictions. First, a majority of the justices will find in favor of defendant Ali Danial Hemani, who argues that Section 922(g)(3)’s prohibition on gun possession for “unlawful” users of drugs violates his Second Amendment rights, and that the majority will not be the same makeup as the majority in Bruen or even the Rahimi decision allowing individuals subject to domestic violence restraining orders from being temporarily disarmed. Justice Clarence Thomas was the first justice to…
President Donald Trump’s Make America Beautiful Again (MABA) Commission has officially launched its long-range conservation strategy. And for hunters, it’s worth paying attention. Unveiled February 11, 2026, the initiative, called MABA 250, is being framed as a results-driven blueprint to conserve America’s lands and waters while expanding outdoor recreation opportunities. Chaired by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, the strategy is designed not just as a short-term policy push, but as a governing conservation framework looking ahead to America’s 250th anniversary and beyond. “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” –President Donald J. Trump pic.twitter.com/iaijFWLDdc— The White House (@WhiteHouse) June 29, 2025 The messaging is…
Wile the U.S. Supreme Court has been keeping almost a half-dozen cases dealing with whether or not adults under the age of 21 are fully vested with their Second Amendment in a holding pattern, the Supreme Judicial Court in Massachusetts will take up the issue in oral arguments today. Mikai Thomson, who was 20 when his car was stopped by police in Boston more than four years ago, was convicted of several charges including illegal possession of a firearm. Thomson and his public defender, however, have argued that the Massachusetts law forbidding under-21s from obtaining…
A bill before the U.S. Congress that would prevent law enforcement officers in the country illegally from carrying firearms highlights a loophole in the law that at least one gun-rights group believes needs to be addressed. Under normal circumstances, federal law prohibits illegal aliens from possessing firearms and ammunition. However, as Gun Owners of America (GOA) pointed out in a newly posted fact sheet, there have been at least three major cases where an illegal has been hired in a law enforcement capacity, drawing attention to a glaring issue with current federal law. “Congress introduces a GOA-backed bill to appeal an…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. The Opening Gambit in a New Type of War As the war with Iran entered its second day in early March 2026, a more sinister pattern emerged from the initial volleys of missiles and drones. The opening strikes by the Islamic Republic were not a maximal effort to inflict immediate, catastrophic damage on the United States and Israel. Instead, they constituted a meticulously calculated first move in a new, asymmetrical warfare playbook. This strategy is not designed to win a head-to-head confrontation with the world’s most expensive military, but…

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in U.S. v. Hemani on Monday, March 2, just a short time after the Court releases its orders from last Friday’s conference. That conference had multiple 2A cases slated to be reviewed, so it’s possible we could learn the fate of lawsuits like Duncan v. Bonta and Gator’s Custom Guns v. Washington (dealing with magazine bans) as well as Viramontes v. Cook County, Grant v. Higgins and NAGR v. Lamont (challenging “assault weapon” bans) in addition to hearing the oral arguments in the case that will determine whether the federal government’s ban on gun possession by…
Source: HOP Munitions The Bureau’s ammunition selection tells us far more about modern projectile science than it does about caliber wars. The FBI is widely reported to be issuing Hornady Critical Duty 9mm +P 135gr (FlexLock/FTX) as its current duty load. But if you stop there, you’re missing the point of the article. A recent deep-dive by HOP Munitions, along with a TFB video interview with a 23-year FBI veteran filmed inside the Bureau’s Ballistic Research Facility (BRF), lays out exactly why the FBI made the choices it did — and what that means for anyone serious about defensive ammunition…
A coffee can survival kit is one of those old-school ideas you don’t see as much anymore, especially now that most coffee containers are made of plastic. But if you can find an old metal coffee can, it makes a tough, weather-resistant container. Plus, it forces you to build a kit that’s simple, compact, and practical.The best part? You can keep one in places where you don’t normally store “real” survival gear, like your car, a boat box, an outdoor shed, kitchen cupboard, or pretty much anywhere. Most people will assume it’s full of coffee or random items like hardware.Now…
Iran has launched retaliatory strikes at United States air bases after joint attacks with Israel killed supreme leader ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The “martyr” was killed in the ongoing Israel-U.S. strikes, according to an official statement. The joint strikes, which Washington and West Jerusalem described as a “preemptive” operation, targeted the Iranian leadership. Military and nuclear-related facilities have also been struck. Trump said the attack was aimed at destroying Iran’s missile industry and navy, as well as forcing regime change in Tehran, according to a report by RT. “The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in…
Most people who have been convicted of a felony know that, at least for a while, getting their gun rights restored is kind of a forlorn hope. Even before Democrats gutted the ATF’s system for gun rights restoration, people didn’t just walk out of prison and, within a few years, get their rights back. That’s never going to happen without some massive changes that are about as likely as Sydney Sweeney confessing her undying desire for my body. Ain’t gonna happen.But notorious human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein seemed to think there was a way, because according…
by Lee Williams Gannett’s flagship, USA TODAY, actually warned its shrinking readership that gun owners may call out its staffers for using fake mass-shooting data in their reporting. In a story published Monday, reporter C. A. Bridges, who writes for the USA TODAY NETWORK, first claimed there have been six mass shootings in Florida this year, “double the number in the state last year at this time.” Bridges then admitted he got his mass-shooting data from the Gun Violence Archive, or GVA, and he warned that the GVA data could be challenged. “The GVA numbers, which have been disputed by…
In Illinois, possessing so much as a single round of ammunition without a Firearms Owner ID (or FOID) card is a serious crime. How serious? Well, residents of Lake in the Hills, Illinois got a first hand view of that law being enforced last Thursday, when a SWAT unit rolled up on a house where a 20-year-old man was believed to be possessing ammunition without a permit. “The search warrant was part of a joint investigation into illegal activity,” the Lake in the Hills Police Department said in a news release. A criminal complaint filed in McHenry County…
