In early March the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in U.S. v. Hemani, with the federal government defending the prohibition on “unlawful” drug users possessing firearms. Ali Danial Hemani was charged with violating Section 922(g)(3) after an FBI raid on his home turned up firearms and marijuana, with Hemani allegedly acknowledging using marijuana every other day. Hemani was convicted in district court, but the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned that decision after concluding that Section 922(g)(3) is overly broad and a violation of Hemani’s Second Amendment rights. According to the appellate court, while…
While perusing the Springfield Armory booth on the SHOT Show floor, we came across something that we did not expect in a collaboration between Aimpoint and Springfield Armory. It looks like later this year Springfield Armory will be releasing Aimpoint COA equipped models of their handguns. Springfield Armory X Aimpoint COA Handguns The recent popularity of the Aimpoint COA red dot, and its associated mounting system to handguns is undeniable. We are seeing it on a host of different military and law enforcement handguns where durability and reliability are paramount. Now, it appears that goodness is going to become available…
“Why do you think you need a gun? If you’re threatened, just call the police.”How many times have you heard that or something like it? The idea among many anti-gunners is that the police will swoop in to save your life, ironically, as they also try to claim the police are racist, evil fascists who are just looking for an opportunity to murder people. No, they don’t see the disconnect. Still, they make the claim that we should just call the police instead of defending ourselves pretty regularly.Yet look at Uvalde. The police waited for…

Microtech makes some seriously rugged knives, manufactured in the USA. However, the brand is arguably not as big in the outdoor world as the tactical one. This is largely owed to a majority of its knives being automatic, and thus, not as accessible to the general public. But in 2023, Microtech launched the MSI (Microtech Standard Issue). It’s not the brand’s first manual folding knife, but it certainly became its most popular. Not only is it the first Microtech knife with the brand’s proprietary version of M390 steel, M390MF, but it’s also the first to carry the re-engineered Ram-Lok. As…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. Introduction: The American Food Supply Is Being Poisoned, One Farm at a Time Beneath the pastoral image of America’s heartland, a silent, state-sanctioned crime is unfolding. Chemical and municipal waste, cynically rebranded by a slick public relations campaign, is being spread across the nation’s farmlands as ‘fertilizer.’ This material, known as ‘biosolids,’ is nothing less than processed sewage sludge—a toxic stew of human and industrial waste. [1] The practice represents a grave and under-publicized threat to public health, concealed by layers of institutional deception and fraudulent science. [2] This isn’t a case…
While sitting on the boat ramp at the end of an eventful day on the water, my snobby fly-fishing buddy turned to me and said, “Let me see that thing.” The “thing” he was referring to was the Shimano Compre Lite Spinning Rod in my hand. I handed it over and watched with a smirk as he guiltily flipped the bail on the reel and made a cast. A boy was about to turn into a man. The white rooster tail tied to the line shot across the river and landed on the opposite side with a plop. “Whoa, this…
Smith & Wesson expands the M&P lineup with the Metal HD and Competitor HD, two all-stainless, 5-inch pistols built for minimal muzzle rise. Both models use the same steel frame and barrel length, but they target different shooters. One leans towards duty and general use. The other focuses on competition. Both pistols share a forged stainless steel frame and a 5-inch stainless barrel with a 1:10 twist. The added weight pushes each gun to roughly two pounds unloaded. That mass helps keep the gun flat during recoil and speeds follow-up shots. Smith & Wesson also updated the grip texture, giving…
Military spouses understand “community” differently from most people. We build it, lose it and rebuild it faster than feels comfortable. When I think about how my military spouse community has changed over the past 20 years, I marvel at how much I have changed as well.Frequent moves, deployments and career disruptions can make lasting relationships feel just out of reach. And just when you find that community you have been waiting for, one of you will get orders.It’s important to remember that your friendships as a military spouse are often meant to be for a season. And it’s OK. We…
It’s a little too easy (at least for me) to dismiss alarming weather events. But there’s no denying that much of the country is about to get hit by a serious winter storm — and nothing reminds you of the importance of solid gear like a bone-chilling freeze. With several months of winter still ahead for many of us, it’s not a bad time to check out much of this week’s new gear. Comfy sleeping bags? Check. Down-filled mattresses? Check. Winter Olympics-style accessories? Got it. Cozy alpaca sweaters? Oh yeah, baby. Find all that and more in this week’s Emerging…
