After more than a year of increased tariffs driving up prices, the U.S. business community welcomed a recent Supreme Court decision that ruled against most of the White House’s sweeping tariffs. Then they won another victory when the Court of International Trade ruled Wednesday that the White House must refund businesses for the illegal tariffs paid over the last year. But if consumers think that’s going to mean reduced pricing moving forward — that’s just not the case, according to business leaders interviewed by GearJunkie. After the court’s decision, President Trump used a different legal avenue to once again raise tariffs,…

Utah Sen. Mike Lee has unveiled a new bill that would allow individuals who can lawfully possess a firearm to carry a handgun in all 50 states, without the need for a state-issued permission slip.  Lee’s National Constitutional Carry Act would be a huge change to federal law, which at the moment leaves the right to carry and regulations around that right entirely up to the states. “The Founders established a national right to keep and bear arms, not to ask for permission from hostile local officials or risk imprisonment for crossing the wrong state line,”…

California Attorney General Rob Bonta is a piece of work. We thought Kamala Harris was bad in that role, but the truth is that Harris was always going to be held back by her inability to form actual sentences. Bonta, though, can. Unfortunately, he uses those actual sentences to repeatedly attack the rights of law-abiding Americans.His latest target, though, isn’t someone within his own state. He’s going after people who engage in perfectly legal activity elsewhere, all because some Californians break the law.A lawsuit filed by Calif. Att. Gen. Rob Bonta and San Francisco City…

With the ongoing bombing attacks obliterating Iran’s leadership, Iranian citizens are hopeful for a future that will include more Western-style freedom and less harsh treatment from a brutal dictator. But according to one major American gun-rights group, those citizens have an uphill battle given the fact that they lack the right to keep and bear arms.  “Iran does not have an equivalent of our sacred Second Amendment,” Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, said in a news release. “And right now, the Iranian people need it badly.
