The Supreme Court just dropped its final opinion in Case v. Montana, and if you care about the Fourth Amendment, especially as a gun owner, this one should make you uneasy. In a unanimous 9–0 decision, the Court ruled that police do not need probable cause to enter your home without a warrant if they claim they’re acting under an “emergency aid” or “community caretaking” function. Translation? If officers say they reasonably believe someone inside might need help, they can kick the door without a warrant, even if no crime is being investigated. That’s a serious expansion of government power.…
Two uniformed service members stand at the door.Inside the military community, that moment has a name: “the knock.”When a U.S. service member dies, casualty notification teams deliver the news no family ever wants to receive. For the families who answer that door, life instantly divides into before and after.In the hours that follow, casualty officers guide survivors through the formal processes of military loss, notifications, benefits, memorial services and burial honors.But after the ceremonies end and the headlines fade, the grief is only beginning.For more than three decades, the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) has quietly stepped in to help…
When a legislative measure has a nickname with the word “killer” in it, that’s usually not a good sign. Such is the case with L.D. 1821 currently under consideration in the Maine legislature. The measure, called the “FFL Killer” bill by the National Rifle Association, is eligible for a vote on the House floor, despite receive an “ought not pass” vote in committee last month. According to a legislative update from NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA), the measure purports to ensure responsible business practices by licensed firearms dealers, but does little more than impose costly burdens on already highly…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge under the title: Iran Says ‘No Room’ for Talks As US Seeks To ‘Partition Country, Take Oil’ – New Hardline Ayatollah Takes Command Summary: Younger, reportedly more ‘hardline’ Ayatollah takes command as regime stability continues: Military and political elites have pledged allegiance to Mojtaba Khamenei, who replaces his slain father as supreme leader and is viewed as a figure favored by the IRGC. Offramp, or more global shock & pain ahead? Trump, after seeing oil prices: Short-term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is…
While the outdoor economy is still growing, it’s going a bit slower than in previous years. Make no mistake: outdoor recreation is mega-popular in the U.S. and continues to expand. Unadjusted for inflation, the outdoor industry represented $696.7 billion of the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2024, according to data released last week by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. In raw dollars, that’s $1.3 trillion in economic output from spending on the most popular outdoor activities, including boating, RVing, and hunting. However, the industry grew by only 2.7% compared to 2023, when the industry saw a 5.3% increase. Perhaps…
Thousands of mourners of the late Reverend Jesse Jackson packed inside the House of Hope Chicago church, to say farewell to the civil rights icon on Friday. The church was brimming with dignitaries, including former Presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Joseph Biden, as well as former Vice President Kamala Harris, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and a host of other local, state and federal leaders. But in the crowd, stood retired Sgt. Major Hal P. McKinley of Indianapolis, Indiana, who came to pay his personal respect to the man he called “an inspiration.”“I had to be here, first because…
The Golden Row is a ski traverse in Tromsø, Norway, that consists of three peaks and three ski descents — and it ain’t a cakewalk by any measure. That’s what drew extreme backcountry skier and filmmaker Nikolai Schirmer to attempt it. In the winter of 2024/25, he and three other skiers set out to complete this infamously brutal ski route. It claimed drones, ski bindings, and even several of the athletes along the way. Only two of the original four completed the route. But the rewards for those who did were huge: massive descents, incredible powder, and bragging rights that won’t…
Long Island, New York, isn’t the most gun-friendly place in the world, but some people have guns there. Shocking, I know, but it’s true.Still, when you have a gun, either in an anti-gun state or not, it’s imperative that you handle it safely. It’s also imperative that if you hand that gun to someone who doesn’t know how to handle it safely, you instruct them immediately. For one guy, though, it was a rough time because he didn’t.It seems that you can get arrested for being shot with your own gun.Geonard Wade allegedly handed a…
Big ruling out of D.C. last week, and the internet immediately lit up with “circuit split!” and “SCOTUS incoming!” posts. Pump the brakes. Yes, this is a big win. No, it’s not the endgame. At least not yet. According to Washington Gun Law’s breakdown, the case, Benson v. United States, comes from the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, not the federal D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. That distinction matters. If this had come from the federal circuit, we’d likely have the kind of clean circuit split that forces the Supreme Court’s hand. But it didn’t. So technically, no split.…
United States President Donald Trump has downplayed the economic impact of $100 a barrel oil as a “very small price to pay” in order to keep up the war efforts. “ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. The surge in oil prices and subsequent damage to the U.S. economy could to be too much for many Americans. Right now, most everyday people are feeling the cost-of-living crisis as inflation crushes their purchasing power, and the costs of everything have skyrocketed. But you’ll get no sympathy from the ruling class, who are now telling people who can’t…
The National Shooting Sports Foundation hosts the Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade Show. SHOT Show® 2026 was one for the record books and Mark Oliva told Bearing Arms about it. The NSSF is the firearm industry trade organization. When pundits describe civil rights groups such as the NRA, Second Amendment Foundation, Gun Owners of America, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, etc. as the so-called “gun lobby,” they are being inaccurate. The NSSF is the true gun lobby and Bearing Arms took some time to chat with Mark Oliva about…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. There is no way to get around it. We are facing a major global economic disruption, and the longer this war goes on, the worse it will get. As I have reminded my readers on numerous occasions, our entire way of life is predicated on cheap energy, and the Middle East is the most important energy-producing region in the entire world. Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has been paralyzed, and energy infrastructure has been under attack by both sides. In fact, this morning Tehran was “covered in…
Brandon Herrera became the Republican nominee for the 23rd District of Texas Congressional race. This was after it was learned that Rep. Tony Gonzales was a lot worse than just being anti-gun. Now, the YouTuber will battle it out for the November election, and the anti-gun world seems to jump at the chance to pick up where Gonzales left off.As noted on Friday, Gonzales’s attacks on Herrera centered largely around taking clips out of context and misrepresenting jokes as heartfelt positions.Sure enough, we had plenty willing to do just that, and all between the time…
