The Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation in Oregon has been teaching important gun safety and marksmanship to youth for a decade. Radian Weapons recently made a generous donation to support the organization. Last month Kids S.A.F.E. announced that Radian generously pledged to support the youth-oriented organization by donating a rifle. Derek LeBlanc, the president of Kids S.A.F.E. recently reached out to say the organization just received the rifle and is excited to put it to use in training young firearm enthusiasts.“The Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting firearm safety education for children,…
Of all the contentious subjects in the car industry right now, the most contentious is probably subscriptions. Since people are already balancing subscription services everywhere else, it’s not a fun thing to discover in your car, too. They represent a potential revenue generator for car companies, so they’re continuing to investigate the idea. A new take on them comes to us from Ford with a patent that could make subscriptions less onerous, even if it doesn’t solve the main issues. Your Subscription Wouldn’t Be Restricted To One Car Credit: Ford What distinguishes Ford’s subscription idea is that it won’t be tied…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. We Are Witnessing the Commoditization of Machine Intelligence A new frontier model emerges every week — Grok, Qwen, DeepSeek, GLM 5.2 — each one matching or exceeding the last. Yesterday’s marvel is today’s commodity, and the speed of this cycle is staggering. Consider Fable Five: a model so dangerous it was recalled after hacking government systems in hours. Then it was re-released and immediately outperformed everything by 8x in real-world coding tasks. It doesn’t need babysitting. It’s like a heat-seeking bomb that solves in hours what used to take…
Cruising the logging roads of Washington state in my rig, it can be easy to lose your way. That’s why I’ve now made a GMRS walkie-talkie a standard piece of kit, and recently, I’ve been using the Cobra TrailBlazer 450 to keep in touch with trail partners on my off-road overnights. Just last week, I was high above the Skagit River staring down a washout, and keying up the 450, I was able to relay the info to the end of our convoy to begin finding a workaround. Bubblepack FRS radios would struggle to span the dense second-growth and switchbacks,…
The end of the tax stamp on suppressors wasn’t as good as we wanted, but it was a big step forward. Suppressors, often called “silencers,” aren’t the devices of spy movie infamy. They don’t deaden the sound until you can’t even hear it above a whisper, but they do work. They’re better thought of as safety devices, since they reduce the noise down enough that you probably won’t have as much hearing loss. And with the Big Beautiful Bill, we don’t have to pay an extra $200 to Uncle Sam if we want one.Not to…
For decades, tracking US vehicle sales was pretty straightforward. The quarterly numbers were either up, down, or stable, and fluctuations were noted if a typhoon hit Japan and flooded plants, or if a financial crisis or the 2001 terrorist attacks caused consumers to delay purchases. Credit: BMW It’s much harder to explain today’s US sales swings, which are impacted by consumers feeling an unstable economy, fuel prices gyrating, federal changes in emissions regulations, the elimination of federal tax credits for battery-electric vehicles, and a general feeling of uncertainty in just about everything. These changes are all pegged directly to the actions…
For over a century, the 1906 Antiquities Act has bestowed the president with extraordinary power over public lands. With one swift stroke of a pen, a president can create a national monument on federal land to protect historic landmarks or structures. Since the bill passed, 18 presidents have created 168 national monuments, but in the last decade, just two of them have been at the center of major political debate, and they are back in the news yet again. On Monday, President Trump signed an executive order to shrink Bears Ears and Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monuments. What Are These Monuments?…
A California gun shop in the Bay Area is facing a lawsuit over the sale of a shotgun to an 18-year-old who later used the firearm to take his own life, and the parents who initiated the civil suit are getting an assist from the legal wing of the gun control group Giffords. The lawsuit, filed on Monday in Contra Costa County Superior Court, alleges that the store was negligent for not assessing the young man’s motivation for purchasing the shotgun, as well as for selling him a gun that is not legal for hunting…
If you’ve ever introduced yourself as an Army or Air Force member at a joint command and tried to address a sailor by rank, you have probably been corrected — politely, or not. The Navy does not use rank for enlisted personnel the way every other branch does. It uses a system of rate and rating that is more specific, more layered and considerably more confusing until someone explains it clearly. The Three Terms and What Each One Means Pay grade is the starting point and the one term that works across all branches. E-1 through E-9 for enlisted, W-1…
When the Supreme Court ruled that Ali Danial Hemani could not be prosecuted under Section 922(g)(3) simply because he owned a gun while regularly using marijuana, the justices went out of their way to state that the Hemani decision wasn’t invalidating the statute as a whole. The decision, wrote Justice Neil Gorsuch, “does not address efforts to ban addicts or those presently intoxicated from possessing a firearm; other prophylactic laws Congress might adopt after determining that users of a particular drug pose a special risk of misusing firearms; §922(g)(1)’s provision disarming individuals convicted of felonies; or…
Sometimes military training doesn’t go according to plan. A viral video, first reported by the New York Post, shows what appears to be a Russian recruit losing control of a mounted helicopter machine gun during a live-fire training exercise with nearly disastrous results. The footage shows the rookie preparing to fire a YakB-12.7 helicopter machine gun that had been mounted on a fixed training stand. Moments after pulling the trigger, the weapon’s recoil spins both the gun and the soldier around the turret. Unable to hold on, the recruit is eventually flung from the mount and disappears from the frame.…
Dangerous. Brazen. Unprecedented. Uncharted territory. Reaction in the media world has been swift and severe to the issue of subpoenas to five New York Times journalists who reported on security questions involving the new Qatari-gifted Air Force One — a legal maneuver seen as a troubling escalation of the Trump administration’s campaign to control and intimidate independent media outlets. “The subpoenas are an extraordinary escalation in President Trump’s efforts to threaten and intimidate independent news organizations and have a chilling effect on the work of journalists across the country,” said Jodie Ginsberg, CEO of the Committee to Protect Journalists. Media…
If it weren’t for hysterics, anti-gunners wouldn’t have anything at all to hang their hats on, I suppose.I’m tired of it, but it’s just the cost of doing business these days. The ATF, which has been the anti-gun lobby’s lapdog for decades, is now acting in a manner to make life easier for law-abiding citizens, and the combination of losing ground and what is likely a sense of betrayal, because the law enforcement agency that jumped when the gun control lobby told them to is now ignoring their calls. They’re going to be riled up.As…
What would you do if a mountain lion started stalking you on a hiking trail? That’s the question at the center of a viral video that has sparked thousands of comments online and plenty of disagreement. In a recent breakdown, Colion Noir dissected the encounter, using it to explore a much bigger discussion about wildlife, self-defense and what people expect someone to do when an apex predator decides they’re on the menu. The video shows a hiker backing away while a mountain lion follows him through the woods. The cat repeatedly closes the distance as the man tries to scare…
Among 2026’s most hotly anticipated action games, Beast of Reincarnation might be the most unexpected. Coming from longtime Pokemon developer Game Freak, Beast of Reincarnation feels like a clear line in the sand, an emblem of the company’s ambitions beyond turn-based creature-collecting. After going hands-on with Beast of Reincarnation, GameRant sat down with Game Director Kota Furushima to talk about its goals, influences, gameplay-story connection, and more. The following transcript has been edited for brevity and clarity. This interview was conducted via a Japanese-English interpreter. Kota Furushima Talks Koo, Beast of Reincarnation’s Cute Canine Companion GameRant: Beast of Reincarnation has…
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he will respond to Ukraine’s recent strikes. As Ukraine continues to suffer setbacks on the battlefield, it has stepped up drone strikes on civilian targets and infrastructure, to which Putin says retaliation will be “several times” more powerful. Ukraine has recently intensified drone attacks on Russian energy infrastructure using Western aid and resources. It has also attacked residential areas in recent months, amid launching several hundred unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) a day on average. First-person view, or FPV, drones, including artificial intelligence-assisted models, have increasingly targeted passenger buses and private vehicles. Putin made the…
Beginning this week, adults in Kentucky who are under the age of 21 can exercise their right to bear arms either openly or concealed, though they still have more hoops to jump through than those 21 and older. Lawmakers in the Bluegrass state approved HB 312 earlier this year, and ultimately overrode Gov. Andy Beshear’s veto, setting up a “provisional” concealed carry permit for adults 18-to-20-years-old. The biggest difference between the provisional carry permit and the concealed carry license available for adults over the age of 21 is that the provisional license is recognized only within…
Suppressors aren’t just having a good year. They’re having a historic one. According to new reporting from NSSF, Americans are buying suppressors, short-barreled rifles and other National Firearms Act (NFA) items at a pace the industry has never seen before. If current trends continue, suppressor applications alone could approach 2 million by year’s end. The surge isn’t happening by accident. Lower costs, dramatically faster ATF approvals and growing interest from hunters and recreational shooters are all fueling demand. Tax Stamp Change Lit the Fuse The biggest catalyst came from Congress. After the One Big, Beautiful Bill reduced the federal tax…
The United States’ third-largest police force has let its contract with Flock Safety expire. On July 11, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD)—which, until recently, was one of Flock’s largest government customers—walked away from their contract. They cited that it wasn’t about cost; rather, they walked away due to data ownership. “This contract is not being renewed because of serious concerns around civil liberties and civil rights issues, particularly around privacy and the data that is being collected from these cameras,” Dean Gialamas, the department’s chief information officer, told ABC7 after the decision was made public. The LAPD will stay…
Newly surfaced images and animations from the canceled Doom 4 have given fans another look at id Software’s original vision for the franchise before rebooting it in 2016. The fourth entry in the original Doom run has fascinated fans for years, as it was allegedly the entry that would take the series in an entirely new, more mainstream direction before being scrapped. Doom 4 entered production in 2007 and was announced in 2008 before being canceled in 2013 after id Software decided to reboot the project altogether, eventually taking what was left and creating what would become 2016’s Doom reboot.…
Is the right to bear arms more fundamental than the right to keep them? What about the right to acquire a gun? It’s hard to keep or bear one if you can’t legally get one, after all. To date, the Supreme Court has rejected the idea that some of the rights protected by the Second Amendment are more important than others, but that’s exactly what the state of Delaware is suggesting in its latest defense of a law banning most young adults from purchasing and possessing firearms classified as “deadly weapons.”There are currently two lawsuits challenging…
