Pro-gun rights group Gun Owners of America has announced it is launching its first-ever digital magazine, an exclusive membership benefit for GOA members. According to Felisha Bull, Director of Communications for GOA, the new magazine will build upon the success of GOA’s State of the Second Podcast and will expand the State of the Second brand into long-form storytelling and analysis, tailored specifically for gun owners. “State of the Second will provide GOA members with in-depth, original content that blends advocacy, industry insight and exclusive access,” Bull wrote in a news release announcing the launch. “The magazine will feature expert gun reviews from trusted…
We stood at the top of a steep slope with tightly spaced trees. “Follow my ski tracks — we need to go either far left or far right near the bottom of this slope. That way, we can avoid cliffs,” my ski partner, Dane Tudor, said. Cliffs? I reached up and used my mitten to press the button on the ear pad of my ski helmet, pausing my music. I was testing the new POC Obex Connect. The sound quality was excellent, and the system was so easy to use that I was now hooked on listening to beats throughout…
Virginia Democrats are going full Big Brother with their Owellian language these days. They’re referring to their gerrymandered maps that are designed to give them a 10-1 advantage in congressional representations as a matter of “fairness”, and to make matters worse it’s blindingly obvious that most of these districts were handcrafted with specific Democratic candidates in mind. As it should. Dems DID draw these districts with specific candidates in mind. I live in VA-05, where Dems drew the map so Henrico Commonwealth Attorney Shannon Taylor could be their handpicked candidate. https://t.co/4jVM5IqEDe— Cam Edwards (@CamEdwards) February…
The videos from Kings & Queens of Corbet’s Couloir don’t do the competition justice. Watching as these athletes launch themselves out into space down into the gut of this iconic feature of Jackson Hole is a sight that’s hard to wrap your head around in person. From the bottom, the couloir looks much steeper. The athletes look like ants standing atop it. And when they come sailing over the edge, it’s hard not to let your jaw fall open. Kings & Queens is one of the most impressive live-action sports events I’ve ever witnessed. This year, the athletes really put…
Sig Sauer hasn’t been having the best decade, to say the least. Their P320 gets picked up by the military, which means massive contracts from Uncle Sam, as well as legions of private Americans picking the gun themselves because if it’s good enough for our boys and girls on the battlefield, it’s good enough for them. Then there were questions about whether it was truly drop safe.Then there were the unintentional discharges, many of which were caught on video that clearly showed no one was touching the gun when it happened.And the lawsuits.While Sig wants…
Maine Army National Guard soldiers are being praised for their “exceptional” work abroad, returning home on Valentine’s Day from a successful mission to Saudi Arabia.The Skowhegan and Lewiston-based 136th Engineering Vertical Construction Company of Maine was deployed in the fall of 2025, returning to Bangor on Feb. 14 to a host of greetings and salutations.”I am immensely proud of the 136th’s exceptional performance and unwavering dedication throughout the entire deployment and redeployment,” Lt. Col. Donald LaChapelle, Battalion commander, 133rd Engineer Battalion, said in a statement to Military.com. “The company executed their mission to the highest standards with unmatched professionalism, and…
Despite a United States-backed ceasefire that has been in effect since October 2025, the death toll in Gaza has topped 600. That number eclipses the thousands when accounting for those wounded in Palestine since the ceasefire officially began. According to a report by RT, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said on Monday that 603 people had been killed and more than 1,600 injured since the ceasefire came into force on October 11th, 2025. An unspecified number of bodies “remain under the rubble and in the streets,” as rescue teams cannot safely reach many areas, the officials added. It sure…
After a massive storm deposited feet of snow across the Sierras, 15 backcountry travelers were caught in an avalanche near Truckee, Calif., on Tuesday. Six of them were successfully evacuated by search and rescue (SAR). According to reports on Wednesday, nine members of the party remain missing. That makes this the most significant avalanche burial incident in the U.S. in the last decade. The group included 11 skiers traveling with four guides from Blackbird Mountain Guides. They were returning from a hut trip near Frog Lake and were navigating avalanche terrain as they exited. The avalanche occurred around 11:30 a.m.,…
The sweeping gun ban bill in New Mexico that also includes a broad number of new mandates for federally licensed firearms dealers is on the verge of defeat, but Second Amendment advocates need to continue to keep up their pressure on lawmakers. As we reported on Tuesday, the House Judiciary committee did not take a vote on SB 17 during its meeting late Monday/early Tuesday. Instead, the committee said it needed more time to read through a number of proposed amendments. With the legislative session expiring at noon on Thursday, every hour of delay makes…

For a lot of rifle shooters, “Mauser 98” is shorthand for one of the best actions on the planet. Featruing controlled round feed, a big non rotating claw extractor, and a design that has been copied, tweaked, and argued about for well over a century, the new M98 Das Original leans into that legacy by sticking with the familiar action while layering in upgraded finishes, high grade wood, and chamberings that range from .308 to .416 Rigby, plus a first time factory .300 Winchester Magnum option for the platform. From the price tag alone, one can infer that this is…
“We need tighter gun laws.”Every time there’s a high-profile shooting, someone comes out of the woodwork to say just this. Never mind that we don’t necessarily know anything about how the shooter got a gun; the answer is always gun control in their minds. Take the shooting at a high school hockey game in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.Yes, this is tragic, and it’s not something we should ever see happen at high school sporting events. What’s also tragic is just how predictable these anti-gunners actually are.Child safety advocates renewed calls for tighter gun control measures following…
A GoFundMe has been set up for Army veteran Randy Santiago Cruz, a Seattle Seahawks fan who died two days before Super Bowl LX.Cruz, 72, of southwest Washington drew attention after the Seahawks sent him a “Salute to Service” care package while he received end-of-life care and rooted for his team, according to a Feb. 16 report by FOX 13 Seattle. Cruz reportedly hoped to live long enough to watch the big game taking place Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., when his Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots, but died two days before the contest.His family…
With Democrat legislators pushing the most anti-gun bills in recent history through the Virginia General Assembly, including a very restrictive ban on semi-auto firearms and gun magazines, many gun owners in the state thought things couldn’t get much worse. Time to think again. HB 1542 would prohibit carrying “assault firearms” in public places, including streets, sidewalks, and parks. And according to a report from the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA), the way the measure is written makes it far more dangerous than it seems. “Because of vague definitions, HB 1524 effectively criminalizes carrying any center-fire semi-automatic firearm…
The U.S. Virgin Islands government is currently being sued by the Department of Justice over several of its draconian gun laws, but the litigation isn’t stopping the territory’s legislature from working to enact even more restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms. Now the territory’s sole Second Amendment advocacy group claims the legislature is suppressing the voices of gun owners, in part by scheduling hearings with little advance notice. Getting to the legislature to testify can be a time consuming ordeal for those who don’t live on the island where hearings are taking…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. Introduction For years, the cumulative damage from decades of martial arts training lingered as a low-grade, ever-present pain. A damaged finger and a back that protested at the thought of a jog were my constant companions. The Western medical system offered little promise other than suggesting painkillers or invasive surgeries, options rooted in a profit-driven model that rarely addresses root causes [1]. As someone deeply committed to natural health and self-reliance, I was profoundly skeptical of any so-called ‘miracle cure.’ That skepticism was challenged, however, by the discovery of BPC-157,…
When it comes to emergency preparedness, most of us are just trying to prepare for the worst and learn how to take care of our families in a crisis. We’re not looking for trouble. But what if some of the very tools we rely on in emergencies are raising red flags? What if buying certain survival items is enough to land you on a list you never knew existed?Nowadays, nothing you do on the Internet is private. Even if you use a VPN, companies like Palantir and Microsoft can find ways to track and record everything you do, especially everything…
