The U.S. Marine Corps is preparing for the AV-8B Harrier II’s final official flight next month, marking the end of more than four decades of service for the iconic jump jet. According to a Marine Corps administrative message (MARADMIN) released in March, the service will hold an official “AV-8B Sundown Ceremony” at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, on June 3, 2026. The ceremony will mark the end of the Harrier’s planned operational service life as the Marine Corps completes its transition to the F-35B Lightning II. The Harrier’s final public events will run from June 1 through…

TopOak’s Galaxy Pro is a lower-priced hardshell rooftop tent with a lot packed into it. It has an aluminum shell, roof bars, integrated power access, a heater vent, interior lighting, and enough room inside to sleep without feeling pinned against the walls. I tested the Galaxy Pro with TopOak’s Air & Foam Camping Mattress and 270-degree awning. The tent itself impressed me more than the full install did. Once it was mounted and set up, the Galaxy Pro was comfortable, practical, and easy to like. Getting it there took work. The mattress was one of the better rooftop tent sleep…
Don’t read the comments; something I can’t always do. What happens when the comments really fly off the handle? Our buddy Jason from Texas Gun Vault has a balanced approach. The internet is a vicious and crazy place. Ever since the days of BBSes and sending over a private “whisper,” people have been just awful in front of and behind each other’s digital backs. Content creators, writers, bloggers, journalists — pretty much anyone who puts themselves out there in the public, opens themselves up to an endless supply of scrutiny. Our good friend Jason from…
When it comes to the weather, this summer is looking like a mixed bag of extremes. On the one hand, we’ve got a “Super El Niño” brewing that could bring many severe storms. And when it’s not storming, most forecasters expect a hotter-than-average summer. Either way, an unpredictable climate means one thing for us GearJunkies: Make sure you’re prepared for any scenario. This week’s batch of new gear showcases just how useful camping gear can be when you don’t know what to expect from the Great Outdoors. We’ve got innovative coolers, reliable power stations, streamlined hydration, waterproof jackets, and a…
Memorial Day remembrance tends to cluster. In public memory and in public observance, it gravitates to certain conflicts and generations: World War II, Vietnam and, more recently, Iraq and Afghanistan. The ceremonies, the tributes, the coverage and the cultural weight of the day concentrate there. That is understandable. Those wars produced the largest losses, the longest national arguments and the deepest generational marks. But the 1.1 million Americans who have died in military service across this country’s history did not all die in those wars, and Memorial Day belongs to all of them — including the ones whose conflicts never…

The Montana is MKC’s first production-scale folding knife, following years of fixed-blade releases from the brand. It’s an EDC liner lock with a MagnaCut stainless steel blade, G10 scales, titanium hardware, and a deep-carry pocket clip.

Multiple lawsuits have been filed in both state and federal court since Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed a bill outlawing the sale, manufacture, and transfers of so-called assault firearms and large capacity magazines, as well as another measure prohibiting the carrying of “assault firearms” in most public spaces. Spanberger is also facing an enforcement challenge in addition to the legal challenges, with a growing number of county sheriffs and Commonwealth Attorneys declaring their intent not to enforce the new laws if they take effect on July 1. Earlier this week I reported on two prosecutors…
Bungie is reportedly facing another major round of layoffs, and Destiny 3 is not currently in active development. According to a new Bloomberg report cited by IGN, the Destiny 2 developer is expected to be hit with “significant” layoffs in the near future, creating even more uncertainty around the studio’s future after years of instability under Sony. The report arrives shortly after Bungie confirmed that Destiny 2 will receive its final live-service content update on June 9, 2026. The update, Monument of Triumph, will mark the end of active development for Destiny 2, though Bungie has said the game will…

A Houston police pursuit in 2022 could’ve ended with officers trapped inside a burning patrol car. Instead, it turned into one of those stories that sounds more like a movie scene than real life: a Tesla slamming into police, a violent crash, suspects bailing on foot, a patrol unit erupting into flames, ammo cooking off in the cabin, and officers still chasing suspects while their rifles melted inside the inferno. And now, for the first time, one of the officers involved is telling the full story exclusively to GunsAmerica. Houston Police Department Officer Vincent Li says the incident started during…
Pullups are among the toughest exercises in calisthenics, and as with any strength-endurance exercise, hitting a plateau is a challenge. Pullups require the strength to lift your entire body weight with your arms. Obviously, the heavier you are, the harder this exercise becomes. For those seeking to maximize pullup fitness, the first pullup is often the biggest challenge, as it requires greater strength. The next challenge is adding more repetitions, which requires building muscle endurance to reach 10 or more. Hitting a plateau is the next challenge, especially if you have a goal of 20 or more pullups. Here is…
HELSINGBORG, Sweden (AP) — NATO allies and defense officials expressed bewilderment Friday at U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement that he would send 5,000 U.S. troops to Poland just weeks after ordering the same number of forces pulled out of Europe. The apparent change of mind came after weeks of statements from Trump and his administration about reducing — not increasing — the U.S. military footprint in Europe. Trump’s initial order set off a flurry of action among military commanders and left allies already doubtful about America’s commitment to Europe’s security to ponder what forces they might have to backfill on…
Kris Brown has been in charge of Brady for almost eight years now, and has worked in the gun control lobby for nearly a decade; long enough that I wonder if she’s not a little burnt out by now. Some of Brown’s recent statements are so tired and stale that it seems like she’s just on autopilot, or maybe using AI to come up with her talking points. The latest example of her laziness comes from her Substack, in a piece that claims (yawn) Virgiinia Democrats “chose children over the gun lobby” by passing a…
Wargames are the pinnacle of strategic combat simulation in the digital space, offering the very best simulations that model military, political, or strategic operations. While many are descended from the tabletop genre of the same name, others have been more aligned with military training exercises, with a focus on realism and reenactment (or re-creation) of real-world scenarios. Despite the assumptions that might come from reading the name, wargaming is more than pitting two oppositional forces against one another and seeing who wins. They examine concepts beyond simple numbers and teach players how to assess scenarios, and explore how planning and…

We’ve seen a number of mass shootings on college campuses over the years, both here and abroad. The shooting at FSU last year is but a recent example.Despite the fact that the gun-free zone status of these campuses has never been respected by any would-be killer, mass or otherwise, campus carry remains controversial. Heaven forbid we allow legal adults to defend themselves. But some states have done the right thing, and New Hampshire was poised to follow. The state with “Live Free or Die” on its license plates could have done something about living free.Yet…
