President Donald Trump said some unfortunate things after the shooting of Alex Pretti. When I say “unfortunate,” though, let me be clear. His comments regarding whether Pretti had a right to be armed that day run counter to what I believe when it comes to gun rights. I vehemently disagree with him on it. But, if the 2024 election–to say nothing of the two before then–I’m not sure my vote would be much different. After all, while he made that comment, and it was just the latest example of less-than-stellar Second Amendment credentials, he was…
If Virginia becomes completely untenable for me to keep living here, I’ll most likely move across the border to West Virginia. It’s still close to family and friends, and it’s red enough that I wouldn’t be too worried about a Democrat takeover (though the parts of West Virginia closest to D.C. are already seeing an influx of government employees moving in). I have to admit, though, that Wyoming is looking increasingly attractive as well, in large part because the legislature continues to find ways to strengthen our right to keep and bear arms. Following the 2025…
MDT has made a name for itself in the precision rifle world with modular, high quality chassis systems, accessories, and stocks. Beyond maintaining a comprehensive catalog and ecosystem, MDT continues to actively refine and expand its product lines. One of the most exciting recent additions is the introduction of inlets for two of North America’s most popular rifles, the Ruger American and the Ruger 10/22. Photo Credit MDT The MDT LSS line of chassis is arguably one of the most popular options for both new and experienced shooters. Much like Burger King, you can have your LSS chassis “your way.”…
Last year, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier stood firm on the Second Amendment by agreeing with a judge that a gun control measure in the state was unconstitutional. This law barred legal adults under 21 from carrying a firearm concealed. They’re adults, you see, but not adult enough for anti-gunners. He did what many anti-gun attorney generals would do when it came down to defending a law that went against their principles.And, it seems, anti-gunners in the Sunshine State are displeased with Uthmeier about this.In a written statement issued Monday, Broward State Attorney Harold Pryor…
Images by the author Even though I came to the bolt action rifle table a bit later in my life, I had been aware of the Scout rifle concept as envisaged by gun guru Jeff Cooper for decades. I just had no way to own one, nor a reason to. In more recent years, since becoming a writer, doors have been opened that were closed before. Also, Indiana changed its deer firearms season laws, and now almost everything from .219 up in bullet diameter is permissible. Those doors swung wide open. (It’s going to take an effort to decide whether…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. Sam Darnold just WON the Super Bowl…and LOST $71k because it was in California Watch as Boomer Esiason explains why the players should block any future Super Bowls in California… Here’s SchiffSovereign’s James Hickman to explain the farce… Yesterday, the Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. From a financial perspective, each Seahawks player will take home $178,000—payment for that particular game. Now, given that the Super Bowl was played in California—and the players earned money playing in the game— it’s reasonable for…
Since its inception in Portland, Ore., in 2012, The James Brand has steadily grown its reputation for quality knives. To be fair, the brand’s classy aesthetics were never in question. But the quality of its USA-made knives has grown steadily. Several models have received glowing GearJunkie reviews in just the last few years. Now, The James Brand has released what it’s calling “the finest and most technically advanced knife we’ve ever made.” That knife is The Barnes Stonewash + Damasteel. It’s the most beautiful version yet of The Barnes, a super-popular EDC knife that the brand first released in 2021.…
Ever since Alex Pretti was shot and killed by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, the left has been dinging the Trump administration over comments by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and others that suggested Pretti did something wrong by carrying a concealed firearm while protesting. “He was exercising his Second Amendment rights,” they’ve proclaimed time and time again… and they’re not wrong. The problem, though, is that they don’t really believe what they’re saying. It’s nothing more than a talking point to them. If they really believed that the Second Amendment protects the right to carry at…
For almost four decades, Kevin Charles Luke lived a life of service and sacrifice to the United States.A retired Army combat veteran who worked as a high-level civilian contractor at Central Command at MacDill Air Force Base, Luke was long entrusted with some of the nation’s most sensitive secrets.But it was an ill-conceived effort to impress a woman that precipitated the former colonel’s remarkable downfall.On Tuesday, a federal judge sentenced Luke to two years in prison for sharing classified battle plans with a woman he was dating.Luke, 62, stood in a Tampa courtroom weeping as he addressed U.S. District Judge…
I know that New Mexico doesn’t have a lot of water, all things considered–yes, I’ve been there, and it’s a beautiful state that I considered going back to until recently–but there’s something in that water that needs to be studied, because it’s making people stupid. As Cam noted on Monday, New Mexico’s Senate just passed a gun control bill that would ban many popular semiautomatic firearms and standard capacity magazines. SB 17 is currently scheduled for its first committee hearing on Wednesday in the House Commerce and Economic Development committee.The Citizens Committee for the Right…
Saguaro National Park is 92,000 acres, but most people only see a tiny portion of what this Arizona landmark has to offer. The park has a few miles of scenic drives and some day hiking trails, but almost 80% of the park is designated wilderness. If you really want to explore its diverse landscape, you’ve got one option: backpacking. With zero drive-in campsites, the only way to camp in Saguaro is to hike in and stay at one of its six backcountry sites. Many of the park’s greatest landmarks are several miles into the desert, so backpacking through the park…
Louisiana Republicans are taking aim at one of the state’s most expansive “gun-free zones” this session with a bill that would allow lawful concealed carry on the campuses of colleges and universities that receive public funds. HB 99, authored by Rep. Danny McCormick, would allow “[a]ny individual who is eighteen years of age or older and who is lawfully permitted to possess a firearm pursuant to state and federal law” to carry a firearm on the campus of any college or university in the state, subject to a few restrictions.The provisions of this Section do…
United States President Donald Trump has threatened to block a major bridge between Canada and the United States over ownership concerns. The bridge is suspended between Michigan and Ontario, and Trump is demanding ownership of at least half of the crossing. In a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday, Trump said he would not allow the Gordie Howe International Bridge that connects Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, to open until the United States is “fully compensated” and Canada treats its neighbor with what he described as “fairness and respect.” “With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps,…
A federal measure that would restrict states and municipalities from imposing excise taxes that target the firearm industry and lawful consumers as a means of funding gun control programs is drawing support from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the firearm industry trade association. Larry Keane, NSSF senior vice president and general counsel, said the measure is a direct result of states targeting guns and gun owners with taxes to pay for anti-gun programs. “A growing number of state politicians are testing a new way to burden the lawful exercise of the Second Amendment by imposing targeted excise taxes on…
There are a number of ongoing lawsuits challenging multiple gun control laws in Delaware, including Rigby v. Jennings, which takes on the state’s ban on possessing, manufacturing, and assembling “untraceable” firearms. A U.S. District Court judge, however, granted a temporary injunction blocking enforcement of much of the law back in September, 2022. Apparently someone didn’t get the memo, because the state Department of Justice sent a letter to Judge Maryellen Noreika this week informing her of an arrest and prosecution under the enjoined statutes. Delaware informed the district court today in our lawsuit challenging the state’s…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadIn preparedness, your mindset is the foundation for every action you take. It can be the tool that ensures your safety or the trigger that invites disaster. As preppers, we often talk about having the right gear along with tactical and homesteading skills, but what happens when your own thinking becomes the biggest threat? This isn’t about complex survival scenarios. It can happen on any given morning when a simple decision goes wrong. It’s easy to get locked into a false sense of “I’ve got this,” where you override your better judgment. This is…

The tyrants that are running Iran have slaughtered tens of thousands of protesters, they have just deployed ballistic missiles that travel so fast that they can reach Israel in 10 minutes, it has been reported that…
“In common use.”I don’t like that being the standard for whether a gun can be banned or not, but that’s what the Supreme Court said, and that’s what we’re stuck with, at least for now. The phrase, though, applies to most things we’ve got banging around our gun safes, from the single-shot .22 rifle we taught our kids to shoot with, to the AR-15s we bought for various reasons up to and including the fact that some people don’t want us to have them.The idea of a firearm being in common use shouldn’t be a…
More power and more gold. The 2027 Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 becomes the 53, and those two things cover the bulk of them. The engine is a new inline-six instead of the old four-cylinder, there’s a new exhaust for more sound, and this SUV gets a drift mode for the first time. Plus, there’s a new Golden Accents Package for anyone who misses the badges on their late ’90s Lexus. Small Changes, Big Impact (Photo/Mercedes-Benz) With an all-new GLC just around the corner, Mercedes-Benz has made surprisingly significant changes — ones buyers will notice, starting with a new engine. The 3.0L…
