Twenty years after Congress passed a law designed to protect firearm manufacturers from being sued over crimes they didn’t commit, Senate Republicans say anti-gun activists have found new ways to drag the industry into court. That’s why Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and 15 Senate Republican colleagues introduced the Stopping Harmful and Outrageous Torts (SHOT) Act on Friday. The legislation would strengthen the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), the 2005 federal law that generally prevents firearm manufacturers, distributors, and dealers from being held liable when criminals misuse lawfully sold firearms. Supporters say the original law worked but not…
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Sunday that the United States is prepared to carry out additional military operations across Latin America similar to the recent strike in Venezuela that killed Tren de Aragua leader Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, known as “Niño Guerrero,” signaling a potentially broader campaign against cartels and transnational criminal groups in the hemisphere. Speaking on CBS’s Face the Nation, Hegseth said the Venezuelan interim government had invited U.S. military forces onto its territory to help eliminate the founder of the Venezuelan-born criminal organization, marking one of the clearest acknowledgments yet of direct U.S. military involvement inside Venezuela.…
The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been worsening. Right now, the virus is more concentrated in Congo’s eastern province of Ituri, which accounts for more than 90% of the cases. As cases reach 782, there have been 181 recorded deaths of the Bidibugyo strain of the Ebola virus, according to the Congolese Ministry of Health. NDTV reported that the number of cases in Congo is believed to be higher because the outbreak was confirmed on May 15th, weeks after it is suspected to have begun, and the contact tracing coverage rate is at 56%, a sharp decrease…
3D printers are one of the most fascinating bits of consumer technology I’ve seen in my lifetime. The idea that I can buy something on Amazon that can then be used to make dozens of household products, as well as create new things for my various hobbies and interests, still sounds like something out of science fiction. It’s not the replicator from Star Trek, but it’s a lot closer than I’d have thought we get when The Next Generation came out. And yeah, you can make guns with it. That’s just awesome, too. Why? Because…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump emerged from the Oval Office first, then fighters from around the globe followed straight into the fight cage, in part for the president’s 80th birthday celebration and to bring a sport long on the fringe of mainstream acceptance into a main event on the White House South Lawn. For a president who revels in winners, Trump had to enjoy crowning two champions on a big fight night staged closer to the Rose Garden than Madison Square Garden in the co-main event of UFC Freedom 250. American lightweight Justin Gaethje capped his unification championship victory…
A coalition of several Michigan-based 2A organizations and the National Rifle Association, along with four individual gun owners, have filed suit in federal court to challenge the state’s licensing and registration scheme. The complaint, known as Moser v. Nessel, argues that Michigan’s License to Purchase, Carry, Possess, or Transport a Pistol lacks any kind of historical pedigree consistent with the text of the Second Amendment and the national tradition of gun ownership. The suit also contends that that licensing scheme is a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause because it “fails to provide adequate…
The Toyota Rav4 “only” sold 59,869 units in the first quarter of 2026. Some nameplates would be happy to sell that many units in a year, but the Rav4 has been the top-selling SUV in the US for close to a decade. This is a slow start for such a hot model. Toyota has been busy ramping up production for the relaunched 2026, essentially missing out on three months of potential sales for the new model, creating an opportunity for its competitors to jump ahead in rank with the Rav4 placing fifth for overall sales. Taking a look at Q1’s…
After field testing this winter, the Ridge Infinity 2.0 felt less like a gamble and more like a valid alternative. After multiple days skiing variable Colorado resort conditions at Vail, Arapahoe Basin, and Breckenridge — from dry powder to wind-affected storms to soggy spring sleet — it proved that Helly Hansen’s in-house waterproofing tech can compete. Like most high-end ski jackets, the initial impression is one of burly protection. But after a handful of days, the novelty fades and what matters is consistency. Does it keep you dry, block wind, and hold up to abuse? In my analysis, the Ridge…
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine isn’t the most pro-gun Republican governor in the country. He has signed a number of pro-gun bills into law, sure, but he also tried to push his own gun control bill through following the Dayton shooting. It wasn’t the worst gun control bill I’ve ever seen, mind you, but since I’m no longer interested in playing nice with anti-gunners, any step backwards is unacceptable. But DeWine is catching a little flak these days, and he’s not getting it because he wanted gun control. No, he’s getting it because of a random…
Turner’s Outdoorsman is a massive retailer in California, which accounts for roughly 20 percent of all firearms sold in a massive state. While California gun ownership per capita isn’t quite the same as you’d find in many pro-gun states, that’s still a whole lot of guns being sold by one company each and every year. It’s impressive by anyone’s metric. But when a would-be assassin–I’m not sure I can even really call him the latest since someone tried to shoot up the White House–tried to gun down Trump and most of his administration at the…
In March, a pair of Ecuadorean fishing boats in the Pacific burst into flames, forcing both crews to abandon ship. Months later, the incidents — which occurred well after the Trump administration launched its bombing campaign targeting alleged drug boats — have left more questions than answers. All 36 crewmen survived, but they have recounted an astonishing story: The fishermen say drones bombarded their boats and that they were then taken at gunpoint as prisoners aboard U.S. military vessels. After some hours, the fishermen say, they were turned over to Salvadoran patrol boats, which took the crews to El Salvador.…
Disasters don’t wait and hit when it’s convenient. They don’t care if you’re miles from your car, halfway through a hike, or just grabbing lunch with nothing on you but your wallet and phone. Whether it’s an earthquake, a sudden storm, or some other emergency, your bug out bag won’t do you much good when all you have is whatever’s in your pockets. That’s the idea behind the survival keychain. It’s a collection of small, lightweight tools you can carry with you wherever you go. Obviously, it’s no substitute for a bug out bag, but it makes a great backup…
The Pentagon publicly announced an 82nd Airborne deployment to U.S. Central Command earlier this year. What officials did not announce was that some of those troops were headed to Israel. Elements of the 2nd Battalion, 501st Infantry Regiment deployed to Israel on temporary duty beginning April 7, according to a deployment order obtained by journalist Ken Klippenstein. The reporting has not been confirmed by Military.com. In March 2026, the Pentagon announced that elements of the 82nd Airborne Division headquarters, division enablers and the 1st Brigade Combat Team would deploy to the CENTCOM area of responsibility. Officials declined to provide additional…
For nearly three decades, lawmakers, military leaders and veterans gathered at the Women in Military Service for America Memorial near Arlington National Cemetery to honor the contributions of women who served in the armed forces. This year, that tradition abruptly ended. The Bipartisan Women’s Caucus canceled its 28th Annual Women in Military Service wreath laying ceremony after several military branches declined to participate, citing Pentagon guidance connected to the Trump administration’s effort to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs throughout the federal government. Organizers canceled the ceremony after multiple military branches declined to participate due to executive orders and…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The United States and Iran reached an initial agreement early Monday that would extend their shaky ceasefire and lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, but challenges immediately loomed, including Israel insisting it would hold onto land seized in Lebanon as it battles Hezbollah. Details of the deal, which would potentially allow desperately needed oil and natural gas to reach the global market through the critical waterway, were not immediately released. Iran signaled implementation would not start until the signing, which key mediator Pakistan said would take place Friday in Switzerland. But…
Retired U.S. Army Capt. Robert Cornicelli said that since he and his wife moved to South Carolina in 2023, he feels like he’s living and working in America’s best-kept secret. The personal finance company WalletHub agrees, publishing a study across the 50 states and the District of Columbia that ranks the best states for military retirees. South Carolina came out on top, named the best state for military retirees in 2026. The state scored high in 28 key metrics, ranging from the number of veterans per capita, the number of Veteran’s Administration health facilities, and the availability of job opportunities…
