Guns are a key part of American culture, but we can’t escape that they’re also a key thing various extremist groups are going to want to get their hands on. Part of the reason our gun rights matter is that extremists will get firearms, and we need to be able to protect ourselves from such people. Other countries like to think they have a more enlightened approach to extremism. They have a lot of stern language about extremism, leave most people open to being killed without the means to defend themselves, and then, when something happens,…

Fresh on the heels of its lawsuit challenging Denver, Colorado’s ban on “assault weapons,” the Department of Justice has now filed a new complaint in federal court taking on the state’s ban on “large capacity” magazines. As Bearing Arms reported on Tuesday, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser was recently sent a demand letter from DOJ’s Civil Rights Division warning of litigation if the state continued to enforce its prohibition on the sale, transfer, and in many cases, the possession of ammunition magazines that can hold more than 15 rounds. Now the DOJ has followed up…

A coalition of House Democrats introduced legislation on Tuesday that would prohibit additional federal funding for military action against Iran unless Congress formally authorizes the conflict through an authorization for the use of military force, or a declaration of war. The legislation, titled the “No Funds for Iran War Act,” is backed by 18 Democratic House lawmakers, including multiple military veterans and ranking members on the chamber’s House Armed Services, Foreign Affairs and Intelligence committees. The bill comes forward as the military operation in Iran, that began with strikes by the United States and Israel on Feb. 28, surpassed its…
Minnesota just took a big step toward sweeping gun control but whether it actually becomes law is a different story. An expansive gun bill cleared the state Senate, targeting so-called “assault weapons,” “high-capacity” magazines, ghost guns, and binary triggers, according to reporting from FOX 9 Minneapolis–St. Paul. Will this Minnesota gun ban prevent the next shooting? Supporters are calling it a win. Critics are calling it unconstitutional. And right now, it’s stuck somewhere in between. The push comes in the wake of the Annunciation church shooting, where the attacker fired more than 100 rounds in just minutes. Families affected by…
We don’t often dunk on undeserving cars, but spotting a struggling Suzuki Jimny on the highway the other day reminded me just what a terrible car it actually is. Yes, it’s an epic off-roader, but very few of us actually have to drive over a mountain to get to work. As a result, Jimny ownership means living with a highly compromised yet cute car that can only do one thing. Many of you won’t agree with the cars on this list, which includes a Jeep for the very reasons mentioned above. But rest assured that I will also make a…

Iran warned that any foreign military entering the strait would be targeted, insisting that safe passage through the waterway must be coordinated with Iranian forces. –RT. “Based on the request of Pakistan and other countries,” as well as “great progress” in talks with Iranian representatives, Washington and Tehran have “mutually agreed” to…
The ATF has rolled out a lot of new rules, and on the surface, they all seem to tip things in our favor. Yes, it’s a refreshing change of pace. However, now that we have the actual text of what’s changing and what isn’t, we can begin an in-depth analysis of just whether we’re getting good news or a turd sandwich dressed up like good news. The Second Amendment Foundation announced in a press release that it would begin its own look at these changes.The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) released for…
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Iran with more bombing Wednesday if it doesn’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz after a report that an agreement is emerging to end the war. Trump posted on social media that the war with Iran could soon end and oil and natural gas shipments could restart. But that all depends on Iran accepting a reported agreement that the U.S. president did not detail. “If they don’t agree, the bombing starts,” Trump wrote. Trump’s threats came after China’s foreign minister called for a comprehensive ceasefire in the Iran war following a meeting with…
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Russia is shifting from individual recruits to ‘professional’ networks to carry out a campaign of sabotage and other attacks across Europe, Poland’s internal security service said in a report published Wednesday. European officials and law enforcement have previously warned that Russia is waging a hybrid war against Europe, including sabotage, arson attacks, and vandalism, as well as influence operations. The Associated Press has tracked more than 150 such incidents linked to Moscow by Western officials since the invasion of Ukraine. Many of the people involved were recruited online as disposable agents and some had no idea…

Seconds count in any high-flying military rescue operation, whether it involves an injured patient or a soldier in desperate need of medical attention. The Oregon National Guard has mastered these operations by identifying a problem with a newly-issued rescue device, coming up with a solution that has become the new standard for medical evacuations throughout the entire U.S. Army. That solution turned out to be a strap named SK-1189, or Skedco. In June 2025, Oregon became only the third unit in the Army to receive the Vita Vertical Rescue System, or VRS—an advanced hoist stabilization system that stops rescue baskets…
