While the Bruen decision laid out some rather specific groundwork for what gun laws can be considered constitutional and which couldn’t, it’s obvious that lower court judges aren’t rational creatures, just rationalizing ones. After all, how many times have we seen courts completely ignore the requirement for a historic analog, despite the clear directives from the Court? Yes, Rahimi muddied the waters a bit and gave greater leeway to the lower courts as to what can be considered an analog; sometimes, they don’t even bother.Enter Illinois and its ban on concealed carry on public transit.Gun…

The United States House Committee has voted to hold the Clintons in contempt of Congress with regard to the Estein probe. Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify in its investigation into disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The Clintons Refuse To Testify To Congress In Epstein Investigation According to a report by RT, nine Democrats joined Republicans in voting in favor of the resolution targeting Bill Clinton, while three Democrats backed the measure against Hillary Clinton. “By voting to hold the Clintons in contempt, the…

In the last year, the knife industry faced some challenges that could have had some long-lasting impacts. From the closing of a primary U.S. steel supplier to threats of tariffs that disrupted supply chains and pricing, 2025 was, in certain regards, a hot mess. During that time of unrest, rumors of a new super-premium knife steel started to float around the internet and in circles where knife nuts gathered. As political and economic factors around the industry have cooled somewhat, it’s time to see what MagnaMax steel is all about! Check out GearJunkie’s guide to Knife Steels. It Starts With…

A Maryland jury handed down a multi-million dollar judgment against Walmart this week, finding that the company was negligent in selling a shotgun to an employee who took his life with the firearm a few hours later.  The family of 23-year-old Jacob Mace filed their lawsuit against Walmart in 2021, about two years after Mace’s death. The complaint alleged that the retailer violated Maryland gun laws and company policy by selling the arm after store management had been made aware of his mental health struggles, though it appears that the verdict was silent on whether…

The Canadian snowboarder Ryan James Wedding, who spent the last year on the run from the FBI, has finally been arrested. Wedding is accused of running a violent drug trafficking organization, having been involved with several murders, and ordering the killing of a federal witness. In November, the FBI raised Wedding’s bounty to $15 million — the highest on its Most Wanted list. “Make no mistake about it, Ryan Wedding is a modern-day iteration of Pablo Escobar,” FBI Director Kash Patel said during a press conference announcing law enforcement action against Wedding. The drug trafficking ring he allegedly ran routinely imported…

One of the biggest announcements from Palmetto State Armory in 2026 was the resurrection of Advanced Armament Company (AAC) and their updated suppressor designs. With updated versions of iconic suppressors, AAC has also brought back its Multi Purpose Weapon (MPW). The original MPW was a collaborative effort between AAC and Knights Armament Company and was chambered in 300 Blackout / 7.62×35. The reintroduced MPW’s will be chambered in the original .300 Blackout, 5.56, 338ARC and 6mm ARC which seems to round out the product line and give more options to the end user. The most exciting options in the new…

Since its inception in 2020, Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s (CPW) gray wolf reintroduction program has been a hotbed of controversy. The plan to source wolves from Oregon and Canada and release them in Colorado has sparked criticism from livestock owners, as well as a split with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Now, the program has hit a major roadblock: CPW announced that it will not release additional wolves in 2026. The Gray Wolf in Colorado By the 1950s, the U.S. government helped eradicate the gray wolf in Colorado and much of the Lower 48 to protect livestock. Reintroduction…

Until a few months ago, I’d never heard of Saddleback Leather Company. But today, I’m looking at a $760 leather duffel bag that appears to be from another century. The Deep Pocket Leather Duffle shines with heavy hardware and sturdy stitching that could have been inspired by the 1800s. And frankly, barring some sort of over-the-top disaster, I expect it’ll still be going strong into the 2100s, well after I’ve moved on from this mortal plane. So, having had this overbuilt duffel bag for just a couple of months, approximately 0.17% of its 100-year warranty lifespan, I’m only slightly qualified…

The oral arguments in Wolford v. Lopez are over, but the complaints about the Supreme Court’s views on the Second Amendment from opponents of our right to keep and bear arms continues.  Cincinnati attorney Jack Greiner, who represents Enquirer Media on First Amendment issues, penned a column for the Cincinnati Enquirer in the wake of the oral arguments held earlier this week, and though he apparently gleaned all of his information about the arguments from press accounts instead of listening to them or reading the transcript, he’s got some strong (and stupid) opinions about the case…

While attending SHOT Show 2026 and cruising the firing lines of Industry Day at the Range, we came across a familiar – but new looking – CZ handgun that we couldn’t quite put our finger on (metaphorically – of course we shot it). What it ended up being was an originally designed CZ Model 75 with slight, modern enhancements while retaining an ethos for the past. This new offering is called the CZ 75 Legend 9mm! CZ 75 Legend The CZ 75 Legend looks like a true throwback to the past with its iconic plastic grips and its overall aesthetic…

Live Free Armory(LFA) has released updated versions of their Apollo 11 2011 style pistol family. The 2026 version of the Apollo feels like a night and day difference from their debut product. The Apollo 11 is nearly all machined in house, with the exception of springs, grip screws, and the magazine catch components that, in a 2011 style pistol, can streamline production by eliminating inconsistency and delays tied to vendor supply. The most exciting update to the design is the inclusion of an external extractor, much like some of the other recent 2011 introductions to the market. The biggest benefit…

This article was originally published by William L. Anderson at The Mises Institute. Since the 1960s, when racial turmoil exploded in the United States, there have been reparations demands, with groups representing black Americans calling for massive wealth transfers from whites and other economically successful ethnic groups to account for black chattel slavery in the US and the policies of Jim Crow. For example, during their heyday in the 1960s, the Black Panthers in 1966 called for a number of measures, including reparations, to bring about what they saw as justice. They included: We believe that the federal government is responsible…
