How many times have people tried to sell you on the idea of a ban on so-called assault weapons by saying they’d not just reduce the number of mass shootings, but the severity? Can you even remember? It’s a common enough narrative, and one that’s been pushed for years.Some anti-gun voices can’t even remember a mass shooting that didn’t involve an AR-15 or some similar style of rifle. They literally can’t recall any such incident, though they happily scamper out of the discussion quietly but abruptly when you provide examples of such incidents, including Virginia…
Former White House adviser and conservative commentator Steve Bannon wants an expedited review of Sen. Mark Kelly, telling Military.com that he expects the Arizona lawmaker to be imprisoned for remarks he made towards U.S. military members.Bannon, in a phone conversation on Wednesday with Military.com, said that the punishment for Kelly and five other Democrats he refers to as the “seditious six” should be “severe” and time sensitive. Kelly and colleagues have been caught in a firestorm over remarks they made about the Trump administration and encouraging troops to refuse so-called illegal orders.The other Democrats are Sen. Elissa Slotkin (MI) and House Reps.…
Four New Mexico teens between the ages of 14 and 16 are accused of breaking into a gun store in Las Cruces last weekend; the latest in a string of incidents around the country where juveniles are committing brazen burglaries of gun shops. In this particular case, Las Cruces police say while four suspects are in custody, they believe other teens were involved as well. An officer who happened to be in the area heard an alarm from the store and discovered the break-in after the suspects fled. Other officers arrived within minutes, police said. The suspects…
During your time in the military, likely the last thing on your mind was how likeable and approachable others saw you. You focused on the mission. You completed tasks, projects and assignments to expectations. Whether those around you enjoyed being around you, felt they could comfortably talk to you, and wanted to be your friend was not your concern. And practically speaking, that makes perfect sense.By contrast, civilian sector employers pride themselves on having a branding and unique experience that carries through to the workplace. Brands are experiences, and companies treasure the promise of that experience meeting the needs and…
Black Collar Arms releases a new monolithic .22LR system built around 10/22 compatibility and maximum user customization. Black Collar Arms has announced the Texas Typewriter, a semi-automatic .22LR platform designed around a single-piece receiver and broad parts compatibility. The system will be offered as a complete firearm or as a builder’s kit in rifle, SBR, or pistol form. Instead of the traditional Ruger 10/22 split between a receiver and stock, the Typewriter uses a rigid monolithic receiver that accepts both the forend and rear stock directly. The company says this design reduces weight, increases strength, and provides a slimmer overall…
I’ve known a lot of musicians in my life, as I’m sure most of you have. Most have big dreams that never come to fruition. Sometimes, they do, though. The guy who used to deliver Chinese food to my house, for example, ended up winning American Idol one year, so yeah, some people achieve something special. But many of those who achieve success are so focused on their craft that they don’t have time to get engaged in illegal shenanigans.That doesn’t seem to hold true for rappers, though, as I’ve written a lot about those…
A semi-auto is only as good as its magazine. If it doesn’t feed, it’s useless, and the mag is often a critical failure point. Factory Magazines are usually the gold standard for most guns. They’re the ones the company provides, and hopefully tests, and generally what works well. Gun owners are always looking for options, though. Sometimes factory mags are hard to come by, or expensive, or both. It’s nice to have options, especially cheaper ones, although you often get what you pay for, so buyers beware. Sometimes, though, you find a mag that doesn’t outperform a factory mag but…
Figuring out which is the best tree stand for your hunt is no easy feat. It just isn’t a product that lends itself to an easy test drive. Tree stands often have a painful price tag and it’s one that isn’t easy to swallow if your stand makes your toes fall asleep mid-hunt. When it comes to hunting, the right tree stand can make a significant difference in your overall experience and your success in the field. The right tree stand not only enhances your ability to spot game and remain concealed but also provides the comfort and stability needed…
Being a responsible gun owner isn’t all that difficult, all things considered. Just follow basic firearms rules while carrying and shooting, keep the guns secure when not in use, and don’t be a moron in general. It’s pretty simple, or at least it should be. Unfortunately, it’s too much to ask of some people.One example may well be a man in Nebraska, at least if the charges against him are remotely accurate.The father of a 5-year-old boy who accidentally shot himself over the weekend was charged Tuesday for his alleged role in the incident.Trae Colvin was…
[Bainbridge, GA], November 25, 2025] – Taurus expands the legendary Raging Hunter® family with a powerful new chambering: the .350 Legend.

Star Trek icon George Takei opened with a Vulcan salute.Standing at the podium of the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan in Tokyo on Nov. 20, the 88-year-old actor—best known to many service members as helmsman Hikaru Sulu from Star Trek—greeted a room full of reporters, students, and Trekkies. Then he pivoted from science fiction to something far more grounded: the day U.S. soldiers with bayonets showed up at his family’s Los Angeles home when he was five years old.“We were forced at gunpoint from our home,” he recalled, before describing how his family was shipped to Camp Rohwer in Arkansas and…
I still haven’t forgotten the eyes of the first animal I ever killed. When I was 10 years old, my dad took me dove hunting near our home in South Texas. This seemed a natural evolution, I imagine, given that he’d shown my brother and me how to handle his .370 rifle and 20-gauge shotgun. I took deep satisfaction from the few times we actually shot the guns, usually at tin cans and glass bottles my dad set up at a quarry. And when my parents got me a compound bow, I joyfully practiced on a bullseye set up in…
On January 20, 2026, the Supreme Court is slated to hear oral arguments in Wolford v. Lopez; the challenge to Hawaii’s “vampire rule” that prohibits concealed carry on all private property unless the property owner gives their express consent. Ordinarily, the justices would divide time between the plaintiffs and the defendants, but the Department of Justice is now requesting that the Court carve out a few minutes for the Trump administration to weigh in as well. On Tuesday, Solicitor General D. John Sauer formally submitted the request to SCOTUS, noting that the U.S. government has…
Shawn Ryan’s latest episode serves up something you don’t see every day: Tucker Carlson laughing his tail off, slinging lead, and talking straight-up gun culture with zero filter. Ryan drags him out to the range for a raw, unscripted blast-fest featuring everything from cowboy-era revolvers to modern battle rifle, and Tucker dives in like a kid on Christmas morning. Right out of the gate, Tucker cops to his favorite rifle: a .357 lever gun, specifically a “Brazilian-made Rossi for $450.” He shoots it with iron sights, and (this part had Ryan howling) he chambers it in .38 Special for one…

Two major gun-rights groups have filed a motion with the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts to strike down the state’s restriction on the possession and carry of semi-automatic firearms and handguns by law-abiding adults under 21 years of age. For a Massachusetts resident to purchase or possess a firearm, they must first acquire one of two licenses: a firearm identification card or a license to carry. Only the identification card is available for adults who are 18-20 years old, however, and even with that license, it only allows residents in this age group to purchase and possess “…rifles…
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, who heads up the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, has already taken an active role in challenging infringements on our Second Amendment rights, but the Division looks to be expanding its 2A footprint even further. According to a report by Reuters, the Civil Rights Division is opening up a new office that’s dedicated exclusively to defending our right to keep and bear arms from government intrusion. The office, called the Second Amendment Rights Section, expects to open on December 4 and will be dedicated to investigating local laws or policies limiting gun…
This article was originally published by Connor O’Keeffe at The Mises Institute. Or, at least—according to Scott Kupor, director of the Office of Personnel Management—the Department of Government Efficiency “doesn’t exist” anymore as a centralized entity, despite having eight months left on its official mandate. Some key DOGE figures have left government entirely, while others have relocated to other executive departments. This has led many to declare this the death of DOGE and label the project an abject failure. Some proponents have pushed back against this characterization, arguing that the work of DOGE is continuing and that a transition from a…
When you hop on a plane or get in your car to visit New York or California, you don’t figure that you’ll be unable to attend church when you get there. You don’t assume that your ability to speak freely gets left at home along with your television and sofa. You don’t figure that the police there can search your belongings willy-nilly simply because your Fourth Amendment rights were still in the garage with those tools you never use. Oh no, your rights come with you.Well…most of them.Your right to keep and bear arms may…
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a matter of days, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll vaulted from being the leader of a military bureaucracy — where he’s been cutting red tape to quickly buy inexpensive drones — to a key negotiator in the Trump administration’s push to end the Russia-Ukraine war.The boyish Iraq War veteran, former venture capitalist and friend of Vice President JD Vance went from presenting President Donald Trump’s plan to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv to sitting down with Russian officials in the United Arab Emirates on Monday and Tuesday, heading up the latest phase of talks on a…
Duston Mullen has served among countless smart minds throughout his years in the U.S. Marine Corps and Army National Guard. But the individuals he’s been among as part of a military fellowship program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are some of the most “advanced minds” he has ever come across.Mullen is one of three Military Fellows with more than 80 years of collective military experience who are partaking in a 12-month program overseen by the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics (CTL), as part of a partnership with the U.S. military that dates back to 2006. Each year…
