Which makes me like most of them even more, to be honest. We’re still waiting to see the actual text of these rules published in the Federal Register, but based on the summaries provided on the ATF’s website, we still have a pretty good idea of what DOJ and ATF are trying to put in place. Everytown’s “Senior Firearms Analyst” and editor of the group’s Smoking Gun website Greg Lickenbrock claims the proposed rules “are clearly designed to benefit the gun industry,” which is a big problem for a group intent on destroying that same…
Good friends are hard to find. In military life, they’re both hard to find and hard to keep. What’s not hard is pausing on our own official Military Spouse Day to appreciate the ones we have. Like most aspects of military life, military friendships are unique, life-altering and often subject to change. It seems that once you find that one special person who shares your love for romance novels and overlooks your tendency for tardiness, her husband is give orders to move halfway around the world, leaving you back to friendship square one and wondering if you’ll ever find someone…
This article was originally published by Garrison Vance at Natural News. Senate Republicans introduced legislation on Monday to allocate $400 million in taxpayer funds for President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom project, according to a bill filed by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), and Katie Britt (R-Ala.) [1]. The proposal follows a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on April 25, which supporters said demonstrated the need for a secure facility on the White House grounds [2]. The president had previously stated the ballroom would be entirely funded by private donations, a point he made repeatedly in…
It’s just before dawn, and my feet crunch over dry gravel as I speed walk toward the sound of a gobbling turkey in the distance. The silhouettes of ponderosa pines are just becoming clear against the lightening sky. I make out a fading star, which slides beneath a hillside as I step out of a meadow and into a forest. A steep ridge rises in front of me, and I step hard into the dirt game path, feet clawing up as I close the distance, hoping to get close before light breaks and the turkeys fly down from their roosts.…
The shooting at Brown University was a rare moment of calamity in the relative calm of high-profile shootings in 2025, but it was enough to make a lot of people very scared and very nervous. Unsurprisingly, we heard the renewed calls for gun control, because some people just can’t help it, but the truth is that nothing much came of the incident, in part because there were still a lot of questions about the guns. That was muddied after the same gunman killed an MIT professor a couple of days later.Well, we know one thing…
The House is taking up a Senate-passed budget resolution that sets nearly $1 trillion in defense spending—roughly $500 billion below the levels President Donald Trump has publicly pushed—setting up a potential battle within the Republican Party over how far to go on military funding. The framework outlines roughly $5.5 trillion in federal spending for Fiscal Year 2026, including about $934 billion in national defense budget authority and a projected $1.26 trillion deficit. It also directs committees to draft legislation that could increase defense and immigration-related spending over the next decade. The GOP-controlled Senate approved the measure in a 50-48 vote…
Matthew Maddison, 37, a climbing coach for Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics, was arrested Tuesday for viewing and sharing child sex abuse material (CSAM). Authorities believe that Maddison had been engaging with this content since July 2024. The Investigation The case dates back to March 16, 2025, when an unnamed social media company filed a CyberTipline report with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. It informed the organization that an account had “uploaded and distributed suspected child sexual abuse material,” according to the affidavit of probable cause. Next, the IP and email address of the account…
Earlier this month, attorneys Alan Beck and Kevin O’Grady notched another win against the state of Hawaii and its restrictive gun control laws when a federal judge issued a final judgement in a case challenging the inability for non-residents to lawfully carry firearms in the state. Beck and O’Grady represented the plaintiffs in the case; a Virginia resident named Johnathan Solinsky and the Hawaii Rifle Association, who challenged that prohibition on Second Amendment grounds, and U.S. District Judge Jill A. Otake ruled in their favor on April 15. Otake’s injunction means that non-residents will now be…
KENT, WA — A quiet neighborhood turned chaotic just before 3 a.m. when multiple armed intruders forced their way into a home and ran into a homeowner who was ready. According to reporting from FOX 13 Seattle and KING 5 News, the family inside the home on Hampton Way woke up to what police described as a loud bang as suspects broke in overnight. From there, things moved fast. One of the homeowners woke her husband, who went straight to a safe near the bed, grabbed a firearm, and went downstairs to investigate what was happening inside his own home.…

With sine die approaching in less than a month, anti-gunners in the Minnesota legislature are putting their gun ban efforts into overdrive. On Wednesday, the Senate Finance committee approved a massive gun control bill that includes the ban on so-called assault weapons and large capacity magazines being pushed by Gov. Tim Walz, along with increased funding for the state’s “red flag” law and bans on both privately manufactured firearms and binary triggers. The omnibus gun control bill is now on the Senate floor and eligible for a vote at any time, though whether there’s enough support…
A new warning is coming out of the Second Amendment community, and it’s coming from north of the border. According to a recent segment from Gun Owners of America’s “One in the Chamber,” Canada’s gun control efforts may be heading in a direction that a lot of American gun owners have been talking about for years: confiscation. Canada is considering door-to-door gun confiscation. The claim centers around Canada’s ongoing struggle to enforce its sweeping firearm bans. Back in 2020, the Canadian government banned roughly 1,500 models of firearms. Then in 2022, it effectively froze the handgun market. By 2025, officials…
There’s no question that the Jeep that most exemplifies the brand, is the Wrangler. There are, however, multiple versions of the Wrangler, from bare-bones to fairly plush. If you had to point to one trim as being the most emblematic of what a Wrangler should be (as well as its cousin, the Gladiator), it would be the Rubicon. That’s because it adds the features to ensure that you and your Jeep can go anywhere. Apparently plenty of people like it, because the Rubicon has reached its own impressive milestone: 1,000,000 sales. From One Trail To A Global Phenomenon Those sales…
There’s something very wrong with CNN.It’s bad enough that they jumped on the anti-gun narrative following the latest attempt on President Donald Trump’s life, but days later, they’ve clearly had time to reflect and course correct. I mean, the guy got all of his guns in California, the most gun-controlled state in the nation. His loadout was laughable, in a lot of ways, but it was more than enough to kill a whole lot of people, and we all know it, and all despite the laws in the Golden State, which did nothing to restrict…
In what could be one of the most significant regulatory shifts in years for gun owners and the firearm industry, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has unveiled a sweeping package of 34 rule changes, many of which directly roll back controversial Biden-era policies. The announcement came just hours after the Senate confirmed Robert Cekada as ATF Director in a bipartisan vote, marking the first time a Republican-nominated ATF director has been confirmed.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A man accused of trying to storm the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner with guns and knives and attempting to kill President Donald Trump agreed on Thursday to remain jailed for now while he awaits trial. Cole Thomas Allen did not enter a plea during his brief appearance in federal court days after authorities say he ran through a magnetometer at the Washington Hilton while holding a long gun and disrupted one of the highest-profile annual events in the nation’s capital. Allen was injured during Saturday night’s attack but was not shot. A Secret Service officer was…
Some in the pro-gun rights community continue to be hopeful that the Trump Administration will finally back away from enforcing the Biden Administration’s Final Rule on what constitutes a “firearm.” Others, however, remain somewhat hopeful but continue to pursue the demise of the so-called “Frame & Receiver” rule in the courtroom. As we reported a couple of weeks ago, on April 8, the Trump Administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) announced it would “maintain the current definition of ‘firearm’ and ‘receiver.’” However, after heavy pushback from gun-rights groups, the DOJ, less than a week later, informed plaintiffs’ counsel in cases challenging…
While United States President Donald Trump prepares to blockade Iranian ports for many more “months”, the price of oil spikes to its highest since 2022. The price of Brent crude oil rose to $126 on Thursday. As Fuel Prices Poised to TRIPLE, EU Mulls Rationing Gas Across Bloc Monday This news comes as US-Iran talks stalled and reports that Trump may extend the blockade of Iranian ports. On Wednesday, according to several media reports, including one from RT, citing White House officials, Trump ordered a plan to prolong the blockade of Iranian ports “for months” in a bid to pressure Tehran…
While most pro-gun control groups have responded to the sweeping reforms outlined by the DOJ and ATF on Thursday with vague complaints about “weakening gun laws” and “aiding violent criminals”, the Center for American Progress has actually identified one proposed rule change to bitch about. To be sure, the group’s press release also contains the same fuzzy objections that we’ve seen from the likes of Brady and Everytown. CAP claims, for instance, that DOJ and ATF “unveiled 34 proposed rules to weaken gun safety regulations that have proved effective in preventing illegal gun trafficking while…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran’s supreme leader said Thursday that the Islamic Republic will protect its “nuclear and missile capabilities” as a national asset, likely seeking to draw a hard line as U.S. President Donald Trump presses for a wider deal to cement the war’s shaky three-week ceasefire. Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei maintained his defiant tone since taking over following the killing of his father in the war’s opening airstrikes. In a written statement read by a state television anchor, Khamenei — who has not been seen in public since becoming supreme leader — said the only place Americans…
Wednesday’s announcement of nearly three dozen proposed changes to ATF rules and regulations is big news, and not just in 2A (or gun control) circles. Rather than straight reporting on the rule changes and what they mean for individual gun owners and firearm industry members, though, CNN bizarrely decided to tie in the news from the ATF with another big story this week. “Justice Department seeks to roll back gun control measures days after Trump assassination attempt,” is the framing CNN decided to go with. Days after a gunman charged security at the White House Correspondent’s…
