When our Founding Fathers crafted the Bill of Rights, it was with the understanding that these weren’t rights being created by the state, but being expressly preserved in order to keep the fledgling nation from potentially falling into tyranny. They saw natural rights as something innate in people that they got by virtue of being human, handed down by God. No, they weren’t perfect in their application of this principle, as we’re all well aware, but the Second Amendment preserved the right to keep and bear arms for the people.However, for the most part, we’re…
World records were expected to fall like trees at the inaugural Enhanced Games as drug-fueled athletes chopped them down. Instead, what the Games might have unexpectedly proven is that training with performance-enhancing drugs doesn’t guarantee wins or world records. Out of 22 events, only one world record was broken. Kristian Gkolomeev, clad in a futuristic, Enhanced-designed super suit, touched the finish of the 50m freestyle race at 20.81 seconds — 0.07 seconds under the standing world record. The accomplishment won him $1 million in prize money. “It was a great race, I had a lot of fun,” Gkolomeev said in…
There’s few names more ubiquitous than Wesson when it comes to firearms. I had a chat with Eric Wesson — the grandson of Dan Wesson — and he talks about everything Wesson. While attending the 2026 National Rifle Association Annual Meeting, Wesson stopped by to discuss family history, Dan Wesson Arms, and of course Daniel Baird Wesson — whom Eric refers to as “D.B.” This interview was made possible by Beretta Holding, the sponsor of the Voices of the Second Amendment at the NRAAM.When it comes to firearms and American history, the two are intertwined…
A Florida homeowner reportedly escaped an armed intruder by running to a neighbor’s house early Friday morning before Pinellas County deputies eventually shot and killed the suspect during a standoff inside the home. According to reporting from WFLA Tampa Bay 28 News, the incident unfolded just before 7 a.m. near Chandler Road outside Clearwater. Investigators say the suspect entered the home through the garage, where the homeowner unexpectedly encountered him while alone inside the residence. The press conference following this Florida home invasion shooting. [H/T Fox 13 Tampa Bay] That’s the kind of moment every homeowner hopes never happens. Officials…
FEMA is a somewhat controversial government agency. Some people love FEMA because they bring food and supplies after a disaster. Other people hate them because they don’t bring enough food and supplies after a disaster (or not quickly enough). Some people say FEMA is inefficient and a waste of tax money. Other people argue that they wouldn’t be so inefficient if they were properly funded. But whatever you think of FEMA, the people working there want you to be prepared. Why? Because the more prepared you are, the less you’ll rely on them for help when disaster strikes (and they…
Protecting or restoring a basic civil liberty should never be dismissed on any grounds at all, but I understand that anti-gunners tend to disagree with me on that. They argue against gun rights restoration and use all manner of studies to make their arguments that gun control increases safety. Those studies are garbage, of course, but they exist, and I’d use them if I were an anti-gunner, too. But what about using a couple of studies to fight back against a proposed law that would restore rights to a lot of people who attend or…
If you’ve been kicking yourself for only grabbing one surplus 1911 pistol from the Civilian Marksmanship Program back when prices were lower and supplies looked endless… well, CMP just gave collectors and shooters a pretty solid surprise. As of May 2025, the CMP has officially doubled the lifetime purchase limit on surplus M1911 and M1911A1 pistols from two guns to four. For anyone unfamiliar, the CMP 1911 program offers authentic U.S. military-issued 1911 pistols transferred from Army inventory. These aren’t reproductions or clone guns. They’re real-deal service pistols that were carried, rebuilt, mixed, refinished, and dragged through decades of American…
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) on Tuesday announced a new clinical trial of methylenedioxymethamphetamine-assisted therapy, more commonly known as MDMA, to evaluate the safety and efficacy when treating current and former military personnel for severe mental health disorders including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorder. The latest announcement comes on the heels of a strong federal government-wide push across multiple branches to study and, ultimately, lawfully recognize different modalities like MDMA, psilocybin, LSD and ibogaine. Legislation has been crafted on bipartisan levels in both the U.S. House and Senate to accelerate the pace for which the VA,…

As we’ve been reporting here at Bearing Arms, a growing number of prosecutors and sheriffs across Virginia are declaring they won’t be enforcing the state’s ban on “assault firearms” and “large capacity” magazines if the laws takes effect on July 1. In addition to legislation prohibiting the sale, manufacture, and transfer of these commonly-owned items, there’s also a law set to take effect that will ban the carrying of so-called assault firearms in most public spaces. Several Commonwealth’s Attorneys and sheriffs, however, have said they believe the new laws are unconstitutional and have no plans…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran on Tuesday denounced U.S. strikes a day earlier as a sign of “bad faith and unreliability” as negotiations continue toward a possible deal to end the war. The U.S. military has characterized Monday’s strikes in southern Iran as defensive, saying targets included missile launch sites and boats placing mines, and said the U.S. acted with “restraint” in light of the weekslong ceasefire. Iran’s foreign ministry called the strikes a ceasefire violation and warned that Washington would bear responsibility for “all consequences,” without details. “The Islamic Republic of Iran will leave no act of…
Yosemite National Park is one of America’s most iconic landscapes, and millions of people visit each year to get their chance to explore this magical place. The popular park has always experienced crowds, but a timed entry system, which limited the number of people admitted into the park at any one time, helped mitigate the congestion. Then, in early 2026, the National Park Service (NPS) announced it was abandoning the reservation system, which had been in place since 2020. Memorial Day posed the first real test of how the park would fare without it, and after the busy holiday weekend,…
Not a day seems to go by on social media where someone in the US doesn’t get a lecture from a European about how our gun control laws, or lack thereof, are some kind of social rot and that we’re completely wrong for not following their lead. After all, those deaths from gunfire are preventable, right? How dare we not take those precautions as they did!Well, I’m sorry that I’m not tripping over myself to “prevent gun deaths” by making it harder to defend myself, while they have people dropping like flies because they can’t…

As any business owner will tell you, “if you build it, they will come” isn’t necessarily the case. Having a product or service that people want is criticial, but creative marketing is also pretty important in terms of getting folks through the door. One range in the Chicago suburbs appears to have hit the bullseye with one of its offerings. New York Post reporter Georgia Worrell recently wrote about her first-hand experience at a “Pistols and Pilates” class at Eagle Sports Range in Oak Forest, Illinois, where two dozen women spent an hour on…
The best-selling vehicle in the US has just run into another roadblock. Ford has been struggling with F-Series pickup production and supply chain issues since last year, but the latest four-day stoppage has nothing to do with aluminum.

The latest Iranian-linked alleged assassination plot targeting Ivanka Trump, combined with yet another purported attempt to harm the president, displays how rising levels of political violence have become more routine. Federal authorities on Friday accused an Iraqi national with alleged ties to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of plotting to assassinate the president’s daughter as retaliation for the 2020 U.S. drone strike that killed Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani. The suspect, identified as 32-year-old Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, was reportedly arrested in Turkey earlier this month before being extradited to the United States, according to the Times of Israel. Authorities…
Washington state lawmakers have passed a steady stream of gun control legislation in recent years, including waiting periods, “red flag” laws, universal background checks, and bans on “high capacity” ammunition magazines and so-called assault weapons. Despite those restrictions, or maybe even because of them, residents in one Seattle neighborhood say crime has become so bad that they’ve been forced to take dramatic steps in an attempt to keep criminals at bay. Folks who live on or near Aurora Avenue complain that drug dealing, prostitution, and shootings in the area are out of control. Despite pleas…
Americans have a long-standing love affair with the Jeep brand. It has symbolized adventure, freedom and luxurious capability – whether it’s the iconic Jeep Wrangler attacking the trails or the posh Grand Cherokee comfortably and safely transporting you and your loved ones. Sadly, there’s a little more to it than that. Behind the rugged exterior and beefy suspension parts that make our beloved Jeeps so capable is a reputation for spotty reliability. As Jeep pushes forward with new models and advanced powertrains, many buyers are wondering if the brand’s persistent reliability challenges have improved and if Jeeps are reliable. Not…
