Everytown rolled out a new anti-gun campaign this week titled “Debunking Gun Myths at the Dinner Table.” It crossed our desk here at The Truth About Guns the same way most Bloomberg-funded propaganda does, without warning and usually with a few unintentional laughs baked in. Right away, it was obvious this one was different. Not the type of messaging that could threaten anyone’s rights. Just bizarre. Odd enough to make you stop and read twice. Even by Everytown’s standards, the writing was sloppy and unhinged, something you don’t often see from a group with essentially unlimited cash courtesy of Michael…

Joining a growing list of ski patrol outfits around the country, Jackson Hole Ski Patrol (JHSP) announced on Nov. 20 that it was filing for a union representation election with the National Labor Relations Board. After months of patroller-led organizing, 93% of the 88 patrollers signed the petition to form a union. In the press release announcing the vote, JHSP referenced the inherent risk that their jobs pose, and the institutional knowledge and skills that make career patrollers so hard to replace. They also mentioned that while Teton County is one of the wealthiest counties in the U.S., it also…

More than fifteen years after the Heller decision, places like New York City still treat the Second Amendment like the bastard stepchild of the Constitution, and the right to keep and bear arms as a privilege to be doled out by the state.  In NYC, that includes requiring people who want to keep a gun in the home or carry one on the street to have a permit; a piece of paper that costs hundreds of dollars and often years of time to obtain. The city’s draconian gun laws aren’t stopping criminals from illegally carrying guns…

Sgt. Kenneth Nine was scheduled to ship back to the states that Monday morning. After partying until 5 a.m. on Dec. 7, 1941, the 27th Infantry platoon sergeant sat exhausted in front of Schofield Barracks.Then Japanese planes flew overhead, strafing everything in sight.Nine’s commanding officer ran up and said, “Get in the saddle because you aren’t going anywhere.”The 25th Infantry Division—just 67 days old—had entered World War II.The division had been activated on Oct. 1, 1941, when the War Department reorganized the old Hawaiian Division, splitting it into two separate divisions: the 24th and the 25th Infantry Divisions.This newly organized unit…

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has stopped work on a nationwide gray wolf recovery plan that it instituted just last year. The agency says the two wolf groups that remain listed under the Endangered Species Act no longer require a federal recovery roadmap. USFWS released an exception finding that removes the requirement for a federal recovery plan for the “44-State entity” and the “Minnesota entity.” The agency’s full rationale appears in the official FWS exception findings report. The agency said current data show both groups have reached a point where a recovery plan would not improve their conservation…

A group of six Democratic lawmakers with military or national security backgrounds released a video in November 2025 urging U.S. service members and intelligence personnel to refuse unlawful orders. Participants included Senator Elissa Slotkin, Senator Mark Kelly, Representative Jason Crow, Representative Chris Deluzio, Representative Maggie Goodlander, and Representative Chrissy Houlahan. Their message emphasized that the oath is to the Constitution, not to any leader, and warned that threats to constitutional order can arise “from within.” The lawmakers said troops “can and must refuse illegal orders,” a claim that is technically correct under military law. They framed the message as a…

On Thursday, President Donald Trump accused six Democratic lawmakers of “seditious behavior punishable by DEATH” after the lawmakers, all of whom are veterans of the armed services and intelligence community, called on United States military members to uphold the Constitution and defy “illegal orders.” “The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution,” Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan wrote in the X post. Along with the Michigan senator, the other five lawmakers appearing in the video are seen as possible future aspirants for higher office, who now, thanks to the video’s wide exposure, have elevated…

Back in 1980, Pete Gerber teamed up with knifemaker Blackie Collins to rethink the classic lockback folder. Their goal was simple: build a lighter, more useful everyday knife. The result was the Gerber LST — a synthetic-scaled, lockback pocketknife that helped define modern EDC. The LST quickly became an American staple, right alongside the Buck 110s and Case slipjoints favored on porches and in tackle boxes across the country. Its formula was straightforward: durable steel, featherweight handles, and a no-nonsense profile that just worked. Forty-five years later, that blueprint evolves into the new LST Ultra. Still made in the USA…

Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner, who’s vying for the party’s nomination and hoping to challenge incumbent Republican Susan Collins next year, has the backing of gun control activist David Hogg’s Leaders We Deserve PAC, even after a string of stories about Platner’s “problematic social media posts, a tattoo closely resembling a Nazi symbol and a sudden turnover in campaign staffers,” as Maine’s PBS affiliate recently put it.  Platner has also been trying to portray himself as a moderate on Second Amendment issues. Among those “problematic” social media posts were a string of comments on…

Longtime U.S. Rep. Nydia Velázquez of New York is stepping aside.In 1992, Velázquez became the first Puerto Rican woman elected to Congress. She announced on Thursday that she will not seek re-election in 2026, effectively culminating more than three decades of legislative service in the House of Representatives.The lawmaker, who represents New York’s 7th District which includes portions of Brooklyn and Queens, said in a statement that leaving next year is the “right” move and allows “for a new generation of leaders to step forward.””I grew up in a small town of sugar cane fields in Yabucoa, Puerto Rico,” Velázquez…
