According to Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, anyone who regularly uses marijuana should be prohibited from exercising their Second Amendment rights; a bold statement in a state where gun ownership is common and marijuana is available for both medical and recreational use. Weiser was one of 20 attorneys general (all of them Democrats except for Ohio AG Dave Yost) to side with the Trump administration in U.S. v. Hemani, filing an amicus brief that argues “legislatures may, consistent with the Second Amendment, protect the public by imposing restrictions on firearm possession and carriage by habitual…
A few months back, I had the privilege of having Bo from S5 Tactical on my podcast to talk about his, at the time, new company producing U.S.-made G36 and UMP-style rifles and pistols. Coming away from that conversation, I knew I needed to learn more. Bo was gracious enough to grant my cohost Kevin and I a tour of the S5 Tactical/ Pacific Plastic Technologies (PPT) facility. a line of the injection molding machines used at PPT/S5 What’s in a Name? Bo watching his son Mike assemble a SG36 rifle S5 Tactical is first and foremost a family company.…
This article was originally published by John W. Whitehead and Nisha Whitehead at The Rutherford Institute. “How many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn’t see?”—Bob Dylan, “Blowin’ in the Wind” What does it say about a political movement that demands absolute reverence for life in the womb yet shrugs when the government kills, cages, or brutalizes the living? What does it say about a government—and a political movement—that claims to value the unborn, but once you are born, that concern evaporates? When life upon birth becomes expendable, subject to force, punishment, neglect, and…
I’m getting more than a little sick of seeing the various pieces claiming that the shooting of Alex Pretti is somehow evidence that the Second Amendment isn’t for everyone. Pretti was unimpeded until he laid a hand on a federal agent, and it’s unlikely that he would have run into any issues with his Second Amendment rights otherwise. I’m not saying he deserved what happened because of that, or the fact that he wasn’t exactly cooperating with the agents trying to arrest him, but I am saying that there’s more to the incident than the…
In the world of aftermarket firearms parts, there are, in my mind, generally two categories. Parts that add to what your gun can do, or parts that change how you do it. There’s been a steady stream of improvements and alternatives to the standard AR-15 charging handle design, and today’s featured product aims to reshape how the handle operates entirely. Enter the Devil Dog Concepts Hard Charger, a left-handed charging handle conversion that relocates the essential interface between operator and machine. Let’s check the tech specs, then get into installation and use. Tech Specs: Mil-Spec Anodized 7075 Aluminum and Stainless…
Birds were chirping, crocuses were peeping, and the sun bathed the valley in radiant rays. But winter still had a tight grip up high in the Rhône Alps. I stepped out of the helicopter and into the “safe zone” on a remote Italian mountain top. And just as fast as I arrived, the helicopter lifted its tail and pivoted back down to collect the rest of the team. Exhaling back into silence in a near-drunken alpine stupor, I looked out over the Alps, reflecting on just how I got here. Helicopter paparazzi in Italy; (photo/©Yann Allègre, Eleven) I was invited…
SDS Arms is an importer of a hoard of popular firearms, spanning rifles, shotguns, and handguns through their brands of Tisas, Tokarev USA, Spandau Arms, Military Armament Corporation (MAC), and Inglis. The last brand is the one we want to discuss because they have announced a new, modernized Hi-Power variant in the Inglis 2035. SDS Arms Inglis 2035 9mm The original Browning Hi-Power was introduced in 1935 and had the designation of “P35” as a model. Now, almost 100 years later (not quite, but close) Inglis is bringing this pistol fully into the 21st century with their Inglis 2035 rendition…
In order to avoid a humanitarian crisis, Cuba needs to strike a deal with the United States ruling class, said President Donald Trump issuing an ultimatum. Things are looking “very bad” for the Caribbean nation now that it has lost access to Venezuelan oil, Trump said. The Financial Times [behind a paywall] claimed earlier that Cuba only has enough oil to last 15 to 20 days at the current level of demand and domestic production. After Attacking Venezuela, Trump Threatens 3 More Latin Countries This most recent ultimatum comes just one month after the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro…
When you think of full-size over-ear headphones, you usually think of long flights or a quiet desk — not a high-intensity workout where you’re dripping sweat, your lungs are searching for oxygen, and your brain is looking for any excuse to quit. Usually, I’d tell you that mental grit is the only way through. But after a few weeks with the Skullcandy Crusher 540 Active ($210), I’ve found a pretty compelling alternative: sheer, skull-rattling haptic vibrations. Since I’m often coaching, I don’t usually wear headphones to work out. But I made a point of doing some solo lifting to see…
Anti-gun lawmakers in Virginia, still celebrating a new Democrat governor, are wasting no time pushing dangerous anti-gun bills through the legislative process. Bolstered by the recent swearing in of Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger, the Democrat-led Senate Courts of Justice Committee on January 26 passed eight gun-control measures, most of which will now be considered by the Senate Finance Committee. Perhaps the most egregious measure, Senate Bill 749 bans certain semi-automatic firearms, including many semi-automatic rifles, pistols and shotguns, and arbitrarily limits magazine capacities. “With the removal of the grandfather clause for magazines, anyone in possession of magazines that exceed the arbitrary…
The saga of NRA v. NRA Foundation does not seem to be settling down. A new website has been published and it alleges to share so-called “facts” on the conflict.In early Jan. 2026, it was announced that the National Rifle Association filed a lawsuit against sister organization the NRA Foundation. The NRA, a 501(c)(4) is suing the Foundation, a 501(c)(3). The NRA alleges the Foundation is “repurposing millions of dollars that were contributed to support the NRA’s charitable programs,” that the Foundation is unlawfully using the NRA trademark — “trademark dilution,” and the foundation has “threatened misuse of approximately…
This article was originally published by Belle Carter at Natural News. Acting CISA Director Madhu Gottumukkala triggered a security review after uploading “For Official Use Only” government documents into a public version of ChatGPT in August 2025, risking exposure to OpenAI’s user base. The incident fuels existing concerns that CISA—originally tasked with infrastructure security—has become a tool for censorship, targeting conservative voices and election-integrity advocates under the guise of combating “misinformation.” Gottumukkala reportedly failed a counterintelligence polygraph test in July 2025 and attempted to remove CISA’s Chief Information Officer, raising internal tensions. His unauthorized ChatGPT use further damaged trust in…
It’s Monday, which means it’s time for yet another study that purports to show how gun laws are good, gun rights are bad, and no matter what the Second Amendment says, we should throw it all out the window and do what our betters think we should do. Some things never really change, do they?However, it’s important we look at these studies and discuss them, because if we don’t, someone else will bring them up and present them as if they’re unassailable facts.And we at least know what’s wrong with these studies.This one claims that…
Weatherby introduced the 25 WBY RPM, a modern, fast-twist 25-caliber cartridge built to drive heavy, high-ballistic-coefficient bullets at magnum-level speeds from standard long actions. New Cartridge Aims for Modern Ballistics Weatherby’s newest addition to its Rebated Precision Magnum (RPM) family packs a .257-inch bullet into a rebated-rim design with a fast 1:7.5 twist rate. This loading is called the 25 RPM. The company reworked its RPM case to fit long, sleek projectiles without losing usable powder space, making it easier to load heavy bullets with high ballistic coefficients. The RPM name stands for Rebated Precision Magnum, and this cartridge follows…
Outdoor Edge expands its replaceable-blade lineup with the VX7 and VX8, two compact folding knives that focus on blade rigidity, easy blade swaps, and budget-friendly pricing while maintaining a splash of flair and high-end feel. A Familiar System, New Handles Outdoor Edge built the VX7 and VX8 around its RazorSafe replaceable blade system, but these knives push the design in a more everyday-carry direction. Both models use a flipper opening with a smooth bearing system. No spring assists the action, even though I got the impression it was a spring assist when I first opened the knife. The bearing is…
Altama introduces the Legacy trainer, an overlasted performance shoe that pairs an aggressive outsole with a protected IGNITE midsole for off-road speed and all-day wear. These shoes will be perfect for anyone who is on the move in demanding environments. A New Direction for Altama Trainers Altama is stepping into new territory with the Legacy trainer series. The company built the shoe from the ground up as a mission-focused trainer rather than a casual sneaker. The Legacy marks Altama’s first overlasted trainer design, which means the upper wraps fully around the midsole for better durability and structure. The shoe targets…

Zero Compromise Optics debuts the ZC420 Hunter, a lighter and slimmer 4-20x scope redesigned for scabbards, packs, and real-world hunting. Weighing 20% less than the original ZC420, this optic punches way above its weight class. A Leaner Take on the ZC420 Zero Compromise Optics trimmed down its flagship 4-20x platform and aimed it squarely at hunters. The ZC420 Hunter drops weight by up to 20 percent compared to the original ZC420. That change comes from multiple small revisions rather than one big change. Everything that makes the ZC420 so amazing is still present in the ZC420 Hunter, though. Zero Compromise…
