For decades, “pro-gun Democrat” wasn’t an oxymoron. In fact, according to a recent commentary from Gun Owners of America (see below), there was a time when even lawmakers who generally supported gun control occasionally backed major Second Amendment initiatives when common sense demanded it. Today? That’s a different story. In a recent Minuteman Moment video, GOA’s Ben Sanderson argued that the modern Democratic Party has become so committed to gun control that many elected Democrats are increasingly out of step with their own voters. And that’s where things get interesting. Gun Owners Don’t Fit the Old Stereotypes Anymore One of…
The one downside of concealed carry versus open carry is that sometimes, you feel like you’re the only one in a given place with a firearm. That means that if something goes down, all the weight of the world is on you to do something about it, and it’s all because you don’t know who’s carrying and who isn’t. This isn’t a bad thing, mind you, but just something that plays in my mind, at least.However, new data suggests that my concerns probably aren’t well-founded.The CPRC hired McLaughlin & Associates to survey 1,000 general election…
If Hollywood made a movie about the average concealed carrier, they’d probably cast a retired rancher wearing camouflage, chewing beef jerky, and yelling at clouds. According to new research from the Crime Prevention Research Center, reality looks a whole lot different. In fact, some of the survey’s most surprising findings completely blow up many of the stereotypes surrounding who carries a gun. The CPRC commissioned McLaughlin & Associates to survey 1,000 likely general-election voters in May 2026. The results showed that 29.8% of likely voters carry a concealed handgun at least occasionally, up from 24.3% in a similar survey conducted…
Four Republicans crossed party lines on Wednesday evening, joining Democrats to pass a war powers resolution that checks President Donald Trump’s authority as it pertains to the ongoing conflict in Iran. The White House said it doesn’t matter. The vote marks a drastic shift from more than a dozen previous war powers resolution votes in both the House and Senate, as Democrats have lacked support from both GOP-controlled chambers to put a legislative check on the Trump administration’s military operation in Iran that began on Feb. 28 without congressional approval. An original vote was scheduled for May 21 but canceled…
This article was originally published by Vincent Cook at The Mises Institute. The socialists who have been taking over the Democratic Party lately have a problem—the state and local jurisdictions where they are able to seize power still have to compete with rival jurisdictions that are still relatively friendly to private property and capitalist businesses. The principal targets of egalitarian fury, namely possessors of great wealth, are strongly incentivized to escape from dystopian hell-holes created by socialists to saner locales. Even those who aren’t so clearly targeted as objects of envy suffer from the effects of economic and social decline…
The ATF has announced a slew of rule changes that will work out pretty well for gun owners. That’s the good news, though it’s not exactly breaking news. This follows decades of the ATF maintaining a certain hostility toward anyone who exercises their right to keep and bear arms and those who sell them guns. “Zero tolerance” may have kicked off under President Joe Biden, but there’s never been any reason to think folks in the ATF were upset by the declaration. Recently, Cam addressed a piece by ProPublica. It was supposedly taking issue with…
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — A museum in Georgia’s oldest city on Wednesday welcomed a truckload of treasures from the earliest period of U.S. history — 17 cannons that experts believe sank to the bottom of the Savannah River during the American Revolution and remained undiscovered for nearly 240 years. Workers carefully hoisted the big guns one-by-one from the back of a truck and wheeled them inside their new home at the Savannah History Museum, which will put them on display just in time for the Fourth of July celebration of America’s 250th birthday. “They look brand new,” said Andrea Farmer,…
People in Kenya are protesting the United States’ plan to create a quarantine facility in the country for Americans who may be infected with the Ebola virus. Kenya’s high court effectively delayed the Trump administration’s plan to send American citizens exposed to the Ebola virus to a quarantine unit at Laikipia Air Base in central Kenya. A judge at the court, the Honorable Lady Justice Patricia Nyaundi, said in a ruling that the next proceedings in the case would not take place until June 23rd, at which point a date for a full hearing would be set, according to a…
Wyoming by day is a playground without fences — biking, hiking, fishing, four-wheeling, or just picnicking on a carpet of wildflowers. But it doesn’t end when the sun slides behind the horizon. Come nighttime, Wyoming puts on a show unlike any you’ve seen before. Out here, where pronghorn antelope outnumber people and your campfire is the only light for miles, the cosmos comes alive. There’s just you, your rig, and a sky so dark and clear that you understand for the first time why it’s called the Milky Way. Wyoming has some of the darkest skies in the Lower 48…

Public lands employees were hit hard by mass firings in 2025. As part of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) job cuts, the National Park Service (NPS) lost around 25% of its employees. Some Western states like Nevada and New Mexico lost up to 20% of their public land employees. Now, understaffed parks like Yosemite and Arches face massive crowds and near-unprecedented levels of tourists, and scaled-back land management agencies are preparing for a potentially devastating fire season. In response, two congressmen introduced a bill that would block layoffs of public lands employees until 2030. The Bill The Public Lands Workforce Stability…
As of mid-morning Wednesday, the Democrat primary for Montana’s 1st Congressional District remains too close to call for media outlets, but it would take a miracle for anti-gun activist and former gun salesman Ryan Busse to eke out a win. With 96% of the votes counted, and about 2,500 votes estimated as still outstanding, Busse trails Sam Forstag by 2,859 votes. Forstag currently has 37.2% of the vote and Busse has 33.1%. In order for Busse to pull ahead, he’d need to win more than 90% of the estimated ballots yet to be counted. So while…
President Donald Trump has been publicly adamant about his desire for the United States to construct its own version of Israel’s “Golden Dome” missile defense system. The larger, still unanswered question is how much it will ultimately cost U.S. taxpayers. Dubbed the “Iron Dome of America,” it was one of Trump’s earliest directives as part of his second term, issuing an executive order on Jan. 27, 2025, saying that ballistic, hypersonic and cruise missiles “remain the most catastrophic threat facing the United States.” He conjured previous, similar aspirations by former President Ronald Reagan to want to construct a similar system…
Winter was slow and cold. For the most part, it felt like life in the Northeast was operating just above hibernation levels. So when spring came, I applied all of that reserved energy and enthusiasm to projects and activities — that meant a lot of upgrades around the house. Little did I know that I would end up relying on one knife to be there for me to open and break down boxes, score wood for cutting, and mark points on our walls to hang shelves and pictures. Last summer, Work Sharp, a brand known for top-notch knife sharpeners, tried…
When the Bruen decision came down and destroyed the whole “may issue” thing, the usual suspects lost their ever-loving minds. This, they claimed, would make our communities less safe. More guns being carried concealed would lead to minor disputes escalating into gunfights, they claimed. A couple of years later, and we’ve seen the single largest decline in the homicide rate in history, which kind of tells you just how full of it they were. While I’d love to chalk it all up to more guns on the streets deterring criminals, I’m not going to go…
The tire pressure light is one of the most common dashboard warnings drivers encounter, and it can appear suddenly, even on late-model vehicles from the 2026 Toyota Camry to the 2026 Ford F-350. When that yellow symbol lights up, it’s easy to feel unsure whether it’s a minor issue or something more serious. In this article, we walk you through exactly what the tire pressure light means, whether it’s safe to keep driving, what to do if the light is flashing, and the essential tools to keep in your car for unforeseen circumstances. Here are the best quick and practical…
The shooting in Cambridge, Massachusetts last month is a reminder of a painful lesson: Gun Control isn’t about safety, it is about control.The example shown in broad daylight for all to see was a career criminal who was released early by the Massachusetts Parole Board (no surprise there) walking down Memorial Drive in broad daylight, shooting indiscriminately. Tyler Brown, by most standards, should have been behind bars for a long period of time. Unfortunately for the Citizens of the Commonwealth, he was given “another chance” that he didn’t deserve by Judge Sanders. She ignored the…
So, where do we even begin with this particular story? Frankly, we’d love to get the inside scoop, and we spent a good portion of the day trying to find just that. At a glance, the photo above appears harmless enough. It’s a T-shirt with an American flag in the background, Ram Power in big letters in the middle, and a good ol’ Ram pickup truck front and center. But look closer. Is this actually a teaser for the upcoming midsize Ram Daktoa? Only if it’s an older Toyota. And we haven’t even discussed the problem with the Stars and…
The United States and Iran have exchanged missile strikes, signaling an end to an already highly unstable ceasefire agreement. The incident began after a US warplane fired a Hellfire missile at an Iranian-linked tanker near the Strait of Hormuz late on Tuesday. The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) warned that any violation of the ceasefire would bring a “harsh price” for the US military. CENTCOM, meanwhile, said its forces “remain vigilant and ready to defend against unwarranted Iranian aggression during the ongoing ceasefire.” Iran Confirms Ceasefire, Says Violations Will Result in Retaliation The US missile strike damaged the Iranian vessel’s…
If anyone thought Americans were done buying guns in 2026, the latest background check numbers suggest otherwise. The National Shooting Sports Foundation reported that its adjusted National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) figure reached 1,105,758 in May, marking a 3.2% increase over May 2025’s total of 1,071,685. In plain English: more than 1.1 million firearm purchase-related background checks were conducted last month. And that’s before you factor in permit holders in many states who can legally purchase firearms without generating an additional NICS check. Suppressor and NFA Checks Are Exploding One of the biggest eye-openers in May’s data wasn’t…
Ubisoft has confirmed that it’s remaking arguably the best game in the Rayman franchise, and it will release later this year. During the recent PlayStation State of Play, Ubisoft gave fans the first look at Rayman Legends Retold, including gameplay that showcased the game’s updated visuals and performance. Although the classic Ubisoft platformer series has been dormant for some time, Rayman is finally back with Rayman Legends Retold. Rayman is already having a big 2026, with Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition launching back in February. Aside from this re-release of the original game, Rayman Legends Retold brings the limbless hero back…
