A recent hit piece on ERPO repeal efforts shows exactly how the Bloomberg-funded outlet launders gun control talking points as journalism — and why gun owners should keep treating its output accordingly. Give Chip Brownlee this much: the man can write. His recent piece in the Trace on Republican states rolling back red flag laws is cleanly constructed, well-paced, and professionally edited. It’s also anti-gun propaganda from beginning to end. Those two things are not in tension — they’re the whole business model. The Trace bills itself as “the only newsroom dedicated to reporting on gun violence.” That line has…
Nebraska is a weird state politically, in part because they have only one chamber to their legislature. Everyone else has two, which is strange. They’re also a heavily rural state, with a strong history of voting Republican, a supermajority in their one legislative chamber, and a strong base of support for the Second Amendment among most residents there. Just the same, they voted to ban guns from the state capitol. It’s bizarre and dumb, but they did it anyway.In the process, they limited entrance to the Capitol to just one point of entry. This is likely…
Photos by the author When you tell a fellow shooter that you just brought a brand-new Hi-Point pistol or carbine home, it seems that sometimes they want to light a candle for you or perform an intervention. They may look at you like, “What’s wrong with you, dude?” I often hear this when I mention Hi-Point to my shooting buddies. After the eye-rolling is done, I have one question for them: Can you tell me the brand and model of a $175 9mm (or 10mm, or .30 Super Carry, or .45 ACP, or .380 ACP, or .40 S&W) pistol or…
I’ve been competing in shooting sports competitions since 2014. I’ve shot everything from GSSF to Steel Challenge, USPSA, IDPA, PRS, 3 Gun, 2 Gun, AK Competitions, and more. What I’ve learned over the years from all types of competition shooting is consistency wins more often than shooters who try to “hero or zero” every stage. I’ve also learned that it always comes down to the Indian, not the Arrow, meaning skill beats buying guns/gear every time. I’ve watched shooters rise through the rankings in various shooting sports and have studied how they’ve improved so drastically. I’ve found that the best…
If you’ve bought 5.56 lately, or even just window-shopped, you’ve probably noticed prices creeping in the wrong direction. There’s a reason for that, and it’s parked outside a chain-link fence in Independence, Missouri. The Lake City Army Ammunition Plant — the single largest producer of small-arms ammunition for the U.S. military, and the source of an estimated 30% of the .223/5.56 sold on the American civilian market — has been mostly idle since April 4. Roughly 1,350 members of IAM Local 778 walked off the job after overwhelmingly rejecting Olin Winchester’s contract offer, and as of this week, the strike…
European American Armory just pulled the curtain back on its next move in the double-stack 1911 spacea nd it might be one of the more interesting carry guns on the floor at NRAAM 2026. At the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, EAA unveiled two new additions to its lineup: the EAA Witness2311 XXX series, a pair of sub-compact pistols that aim to shrink the footprint of a double-stack 1911 without giving up capacity. And right away, one thing stands out. This thing is thin. A Slimmer Take on the 2311 The biggest story with the EAA Witness2311 XXX…
While the Firearms Policy Coalition’s (FPC’s) recently released State Freedom Index gave the state of Vermont an 81.2% grade, some lawmakers in the Green Mountain State are trying to push that ranking down significantly. The legislative session in Vermont is quickly winding down, but that’s not stopping anti-gun lawmakers from trying to pass several serious infringements on the Second Amendment rights of lawful gun owners in the state. According to a legislative alert from the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA), anti-gun Democrats in Vermont are pushing two omnibus gun bills in an attempt to pass them before…
Every once in a while, something pops up on the show floor that makes people stop mid-sentence and go, “Wait… what?” That’s exactly what happened with the Tokarev TSP-12 shotgun at NRAAM 2026. Because this isn’t your typical pump gun. Not even close. Pump… From the Back? Here’s the hook: the action isn’t up front. It’s in the stock. Instead of racking a forend, you cycle the Tokarev TSP-12 shotgun by pulling the stock (or pistol grip) rearward. It’s a completely different motion than what most shooters are used to, and the first time you see it, it almost looks…
Some guns lean hard into tradition. Others go full modern. The new Chiappa Black Thunder revolver tries to live right in the middle and it’s a pretty interesting place to be. Old West Roots, Modern Attitude Chiappa Firearms took the iconic Colt 1873 Single Action Army blueprint and pushed it in a direction most purists probably didn’t see coming. You still get: Single-action operation Loading gate Manual ejector rod 6-shot cylinder All the stuff that makes a classic wheelgun what it is. But then they layered on: It’s not subtle. Built Around .44 Magnum The Chiappa Black Thunder revolver is…
This artilcle was originally published by Garrison Vance at Natural News. Introduction Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, the new Supreme Leader of Iran, requires a prosthetic leg and facial surgery after being severely injured in an Israeli air strike, according to a report citing confidential sources. The New York Times, citing four senior Iranian officials familiar with Khamenei’s health, reports that he was injured in the same strike that killed his father, former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei [1]. Khamenei, who was selected as Supreme Leader in March, has not been seen in public since his appointment, fueling intense speculation about his condition and…
Bike racks are a serious investment — one that hopefully outlives the bikes it carries. The goal behind the recently redesigned 1Up Recon hitch bike rack hits that mark. Now, it’s lighter, more secure, and easier to use. But it’s also now a rack that can actually last for a lifetime, thanks to the user-serviceability. Before we dive in, the 1Up Recon vertical carry rack hauls four, five, or six bikes, depending on the configuration. I spent a few weeks running shuttle laps and hauling my quiver of bikes with the 4-carry rack, abusing it as much as possible on…
ne of the first friends I made in the Second Amendment community was Amanda Suffecool. We made an appearance on Paul Lathrop’s The Daily Bullet and got to know one another. I’ve always loved the energy she brought to the Second Amendment world. This was before she was elected as an NRA board member, but she was knee deep in a new organization I’d not heard of at the time called Women for Gun Rights.Since then, she’s been a key part of trying to clean up the NRA, and it seems her work has been…
Springfield Armory is shrinking things down but not dialing anything back. The new Springfield SAINT Victor 9mm PDW shows up with a 5.5-inch barrel, a collapsible brace, and a layout built for tight spaces where size actually matters. This isn’t a range toy trying to look tactical. It’s a purpose-built compact. Short, Tight, and Ready to Move At just 5.5 inches up front, the Springfield SAINT Victor 9mm PDW keeps things extremely compact without turning into a novelty. Paired with the SB Tactical HBPDW brace, the whole setup stays tight to the body, easy to maneuver, and adjustable on the…
Most turkey vests come one way. Pockets stitched where the manufacturer thinks they belong, whether that works for you or not. The Chief Upland Flydown Turkey System takes a different approach. It hands you a blank slate and lets you build your own setup from the ground up. Pouches, seat, storage. You decide what makes the cut and where it rides. That kind of freedom sounds great on paper. In reality, it means a little more work up front and a little extra cost at the end. But if you’re willing to put in the time, you end up with…
There’s an old line that gets repeated a lot in this world: “The first rule of gunfighting is… have a gun.” Taurus USA is leaning all the way into that idea with the new Taurus 22TUC, a micro-compact .22 LR built around one simple goal: Make it so easy to carry that you actually do. Small, Light, and Always There The Taurus 22TUC is about as minimal as it gets. 10 ounces unloaded 5-inch overall length 1-inch width 2.5-inch barrel This thing disappears. Pocket, purse, ankle. Wherever you want to stash it, the 22TUC isn’t going to fight you on…
