A coalition of several Michigan-based 2A organizations and the National Rifle Association, along with four individual gun owners, have filed suit in federal court to challenge the state’s licensing and registration scheme.  The complaint, known as Moser v. Nessel, argues that Michigan’s License to Purchase, Carry, Possess, or Transport a Pistol lacks any kind of historical pedigree consistent with the text of the Second Amendment and the national tradition of gun ownership. The suit also contends that that licensing scheme is a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause because it “fails to provide adequate…

A federal immigration judge has granted asylum to a woman orphaned in Iran in the 1970s and adopted by an American war veteran, who immigration officials threatened earlier this year with deportation to the country with which the U.S. is now at war. Judge Andrew Fishkin’s ruling likely ends a monthslong ordeal for the California woman, one of thousands adopted from abroad who were never granted citizenship because of bureaucratic loopholes between adoption and immigration law. The woman has lived in the United States since she was adopted by American parents as a toddler and has no criminal record. The…

The right to keep and bear arms implies the right to acquire guns. It doesn’t spell it out, but how can one keep and bear something they are unable to acquire?  We all know that the government isn’t going to just give us guns. The crowd that likes guns tends to oppose government handouts, and because of that disparity, we’re never going to get universal gun ownership akin to the pushes for universal healthcare. No, we have jobs, so we can buy them on our own.But what if that’s not a reasonable proposition? What if…

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israelis from across the political spectrum reacted angrily Monday to the news of an initial deal between the U.S. and Iran, calling it a disaster for Israel and directing their fury at one man: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. As of early Monday evening, Netanyahu had yet to release a statement about the deal between the U.S. and Iran that extend their tenuous ceasefire and lead to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. But other Israeli government officials, rivals, politicians and commentators were quick to criticize the deal, marking a sort of informal referendum on the premier’s…

United States ruler Donald Trump appears to be the only one in power who thinks the Iran deal, scheduled to be signed in a special ceremony in Switzerland on Friday, was a good deal. Israel said that Trump screwed them, while US Congressman Seth Moulton says the deal is a “lose, lose, lose” for the US. Trump’s looming Iran peace deal looks like a “surrender document” to Moulton, a democrat. He said it fails to deliver anything America did not have before the war. The insinuation is that the war was started for no reason, and Americans were forced to pay…

In today’s era of maximally cushioned shoes, many trail runners crave connection: to the trail, to the sport, to the wild spaces they run through. The KEEN Wander, a new trail running shoe from a brand committed to environmental sustainability, delivers that connected feeling runners seek on their adventures — both to the trail and to the earth. The KEEN Wander; (all photos/iRunFar, Eszter Horanyi) With a low stack height and agile build, the Wander is a go-to companion for runners who don’t just want to run the trail, but want to feel it, too. The shoes offer an alternative…

The U.S. Supreme Court took no action today on the five cases dealing with bans on “assault weapons” and “large capacity” magazines that it’s heard in conference more than a dozen times, but it did address another 2A-related case that was discussed in conference for the first time last week. Unfortunately, SCOTUS didn’t grant cert in National Shooting Sports Foundation v. James. Instead, without a dissenting opinion the Court denied cert to the challenge to the New York law meant to facilitate lawsuits against firearm industry members by doing an end-run around the federal Protection…

The Toyota Rav4 “only” sold 59,869 units in the first quarter of 2026. Some nameplates would be happy to sell that many units in a year, but the Rav4 has been the top-selling SUV in the US for close to a decade. This is a slow start for such a hot model. Toyota has been busy ramping up production for the relaunched 2026, essentially missing out on three months of potential sales for the new model, creating an opportunity for its competitors to jump ahead in rank with the Rav4 placing fifth for overall sales. Taking a look at Q1’s…

After field testing this winter, the Ridge Infinity 2.0 felt less like a gamble and more like a valid alternative. After multiple days skiing variable Colorado resort conditions at Vail, Arapahoe Basin, and Breckenridge — from dry powder to wind-affected storms to soggy spring sleet — it proved that Helly Hansen’s in-house waterproofing tech can compete. Like most high-end ski jackets, the initial impression is one of burly protection. But after a handful of days, the novelty fades and what matters is consistency. Does it keep you dry, block wind, and hold up to abuse? In my analysis, the Ridge…

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine isn’t the most pro-gun Republican governor in the country. He has signed a number of pro-gun bills into law, sure, but he also tried to push his own gun control bill through following the Dayton shooting. It wasn’t the worst gun control bill I’ve ever seen, mind you, but since I’m no longer interested in playing nice with anti-gunners, any step backwards is unacceptable. But DeWine is catching a little flak these days, and he’s not getting it because he wanted gun control. No, he’s getting it because of a random…

The United States and Iran have agreed on a roadmap that will allegedly lead to peace and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The rulers have agreed on a memorandum of understanding (MoU) aimed at ending the conflict. The current war, which began on February 28th with a joint US-Israeli bombing campaign, has prompted Tehran to close the Strait of Hormuz to most shipping. In response to that economically devastating move, the US initiated its own naval blockade. Tit for tat strikes have also been ongoing, even though a ceasefire was agreed to in April. U.S. Begins Blockade of…
