The one thing that Vox correspondent Ian Millhiser gets right in his coverage of the Supreme Court’s oral arguments over Hawaii’s “vampire rule” is that he anticipates the law will be struck down when the Court issues its opinion in Wolford v. Lopez. Almost everything else in his column, however, is so colored by his animosity towards the Second Amendment that it defies reality, like his claim that the oral arguments show the Court’s framework for Second Amendment cases is falling apart. The Supreme Court’s Republican majority spent much of Tuesday morning trying to figure out…
We recently reported that a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals declared California’s ban on open carry in most parts of the state unconstitutional. On January 2, the panel, in the case Baird v. Bonta, held that the Golden State’s ban on open carry in counties with a population of more than 200,000 people violated the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms as applied to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. With its 200,000 population threshold, the law actually prohibits open carry in areas of the state where 95% of Californians live and work. “For most of American history,…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. Introduction: The Dangerous Crossroads of Tyranny and Alliance The geopolitical stage is set for a showdown not seen in generations. US President Donald Trump has imposed a blanket 10% tariff on imports from eight European NATO allies—Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Finland [1]. The stated reason is naked coercion: these nations dared to deploy small military contingents to Greenland in opposition to Trump’s renewed and aggressive campaign to purchase—or seize—the vast, resource-rich Arctic island [2]. This is not merely a trade dispute. It is an act…
As Cam talked about on Tuesday, the Department of Justice is looking to ease a few gun restrictions. The reason is pretty simple. The midterms are coming up, and they want gun rights voters excited and turning out in massive numbers. I get it. I truly do.And the DOJ has done more for gun rights than any other DOJ in my memory, at least. The problem is that the bar wasn’t exactly difficult to clear. An ant couldn’t limbo under it, for crying out loud.So let’s look, first, at some of the ideas being floated.According…
A “historic” energy deal is now on the table between the United States and Venezuela, tying the arrest of former leader Nicolás Maduro to a sweeping effort to reopen the country’s oil industry to foreign investment.The Trump administration says it is facilitating talks with oil companies to rebuild Venezuela’s badly weakened oil infrastructure after Acting President Delcy Rodríguez delivered a state of the union address this week in Caracas urging major changes to the country’s hydrocarbon laws. The proposed reforms aim to loosen restrictions on foreign participation in Venezuela’s oil sector, which has collapsed after years of sanctions, mismanagement and…
TTAG has boots on the ground at SHOT Show 2026 (Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade show), and we were in attendance at Beretta’s private Range Day to check some of their new items as they celebrate their 500th Anniversary of being in business this year. The biggest announcement there was the new Beretta B22 Jaguar! Beretta B22 Jaguar .22 Long Rifle The newly debuted Beretta B22 Jaguar .22 Long Rifle isn’t a reproduction of their older Model 71 Jaguar; rather, it is something entirely new, fresh, and simply borrowing from that old moniker with a new name. From the outset, Beretta…
“Guys like Woody, they saved the world.” That’s how Robert Koch, the mayor of Roxbury, Massachusetts, described retired Brig. Gen. Enoch “Woody” Woodhouse, who celebrated his 99th birthday last Wednesday in a party fit for a Boston-area legend. Woodhouse is one of the last surviving members of the famed Tuskegee Airmen, an all-Black fighter pilot squadron that flew many important missions during World War II, despite facing racial segregation and discrimination in the U.S. military. “When you look back, and it’s not that long ago, World War II, what it meant for the world, and Woody served with incredible dedication, of course,…

Steyr’s ATD and ATC pistols blend a hammer-fired trigger feel with striker-style safeties, creating a drop-safe handgun platform aimed at duty, self-defense, and competition use.

The lineup includes the ATD Compact, ATD Compact Comp, ATC Base 5”, ATC Rock 5”, and ATC Rock 6”. These pistols feel different the moment you press the trigger. The ignition system combines a trigger bar and hammer with a firing pin safety plunger. The plunger disengages only when…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon has ordered about 1,500 active-duty soldiers to be ready in case of a possible deployment to Minnesota, where federal authorities have been conducting a massive immigration enforcement operation, two defense officials said Sunday.The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military plans, said two infantry battalions of the Army’s 11th Airborne Division have been given prepare-to-deploy orders. The unit is based in Alaska and specializes in operating in arctic conditions.One defense official said the troops are standing by to deploy to Minnesota should President Donald Trump invoke the Insurrection Act, a rarely…
This article was originally published by Frank Shostak at Natural News. What is probability? The probability of an event is the proportion of times the event occurs out of a large number of trials. For instance, the probability of obtaining heads when a coin is tossed is 0.5. This does not mean that when a coin is tossed 10 times, five heads are always obtained. However, if the experiment is repeated a large number of times, then it is likely that 50 percent will be obtained. The greater the number of throws, the nearer the approximation is likely to be.…
The REI Campwell Down Parka is like a comforting cup of cocoa on a chilly day. After 3 weeks of testing this women’s parka around Colorado’s Roaring Fork Valley, I found it delivers serious warmth and coziness when you want it most. And it comes at a price that’s tough to beat. This jacket replaces REI’s older Norseland Parka, and while the name has changed, the intent remains similar. The Campwell leans hard into lifestyle warmth rather than technical outerwear, but it does it well. I mainly wore it in my hometown outside of Aspen during errands, evening walks, and…
There’s something insane about the latest proposals to target 3D printers with state-level laws. New York has considered requiring background checks for printers, for example. While Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg wants manufacturers of 3D printers to create their software so their products won’t make guns or gun parts, he doesn’t have the authority to make anything stick. He’s trying to get voluntary compliance.But it seems Washington state isn’t worried about what manufacturers want to do. They’re just going to tell them.As 3D-printed firearms become a growing concern, Washington is the latest state to propose laws…
The suppressed TAO50 builds on Auto-Ordnance’s TAO50 platform with an integral suppressor paired to a muzzle brake. The system drops standard FMJ ammunition to roughly 110 dB on a sound meter, according to Auto-Ordnance. That reduction, combined with the brake, keeps recoil surprisingly mild for a .50 BMG rifle. Integrally Suppressed .50 BMG Design The barrel measures 20 inches on the suppressed model and sits partially inside the suppressor. About half the barrel extends into a large expansion chamber before the welded baffle stack continues forward. While the suppressor looks massive, the effective baffle section adds about 12 to 15…
A female soldier who was attacked and raped by a convicted serial predator at Fort Hood has filed a $10 million personal injury complaint against the U.S. Army, alleging that the service was aware of sexual crimes and physical abuse but did nothing to warn others or to put additional safety measures into place.Mayra Diaz, 22, filed the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) administrative complaint on Jan. 20 based on what she endured earlier this decade at Fort Hood (known as Fort Cavazos at the time) at the hands of Sgt. Greville Clarke, an Army noncommissioned officer who after three…
Are you sick of polymer-frame, striker-fired handguns? Tired of the newest Glock imitator trying to promise a revolutionary design? Me too. So, after I saw the giant posters at Range Day advertising the Steyr ATD and ATC, I knew I had to zoom over there and check them out. I saw a hammer and a metal frame, and I had hope. The ATD I hopped on my “Lamborfeeties” and marched over to Steyr. What greeted me was a mix of black and stainless guns in various sizes and configurations. The ATD is a DA/SA (double-action/single-action) gun. I found myself a…
Base layers for women are one of those gear categories that don’t get much attention. When they work, you forget about them. When they don’t, you notice immediately. I tested the REI Co-op Midweight Long Sleeve Base Layer Top and Tights across a mix of activities, and I have some good news: They worked! I wore this set while resort skiing at Snowmass Ski Resort, uphill skiing at Buttermilk, trail running in the hills around our neighborhood, and hiking with our dog. As a true midweight synthetic base layer, this set is designed to add noticeable warmth while still functioning…
Dear Bearing Arms Reader,We are one year into the most successful presidential term in history. President Trump continues to prove his doubters wrong, posting victories many assumed were never possible. For the first time in 50 years, the U.S. achieved net migration in 2025, reversing Biden’s disastrous open border policies and sending more than 2.6 million illegal aliens home through deportations and self-departures. The Department of Homeland Security arrested more than 650,000 illegal aliens, including the worst of the worst – killers, rapists, gang members, and drug traffickers. Fentanyl trafficking at the Southern border has decreased by more than…
