We’re still waiting to see if the Department of Justice will tell a federal judge in Texas that it plans on appealing his decision that many NFA regulations on suppressors, short-barreled firearms, and “any other weapons” are invalid now that the making and transfer taxes on those items has been zeroed out. As we reported earlier today, Silencer Shop, which is one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuits challenging the NFA provisions, plans on transferring suppressors to Brandon Herrera and State Rep. Wes Virdell at 12:01 AM CT on Thursday morning if the DOJ doesn’t…

Used by arrangement with John Wiley & Sons, Inc. What Is Military Discharge? A military discharge occurs when a service member is formally released from their obligation to serve in the armed forces. Each year, over 200,000 U.S. service members transition out of military life, entering the civilian workforce, education systems or retirement. Discharges can happen at the end of a service obligation, due to medical or personal reasons, or under disciplinary circumstances. The type of discharge…

Wind stings my bare cheeks as I absolutely fly over the powder-coated groomer at Vail Mountain. An unexpected storm had dropped 5 inches of fresh snow over the smooth face. With a historically poor winter in the rearview, I was going to make the most of this surprisingly soft morning ski test. I slarved a turn and felt a spray of powder plaster my grin. I railed a couple more carves, slashed some speed with another plume of snow, and coasted slowly into the chairlift, nary a person in line. The morning was unforecast and awesome, a near-perfect allegory for…
When the Bruen decision was handed down, anti-gunners lost their minds. That was especially true in New York City, which was at the heart of the decision. Now, they couldn’t subjectively decide who could carry a gun and who couldn’t. That’s not how rights work, and it pissed them off. Since then, we’ve seen a historic drop in violent crime. As Cam noted on Tuesday, some are expecting an even bigger drop for 2026.And now, as New York City experiences the benefits of Bruen, the NYPD commissioner isn’t giving any credit to the Supreme Court…
Are you always motivated to work out? If you are, what is your secret? How many of you have walked into the gym or stepped onto the track feeling sluggish and not quite mentally ready to train? But you showed up regardless, because you know that the solution is to “do the warmup.” The warmup starts, even though it is the last thing you feel like doing, but you do it anyway. Then something shifts. Five to 10 minutes into your warmup, the brain fog clears, your joints feel lubricated, your core temperature rises, and suddenly you are ready to…
Today is the deadline for the Department of Justice to inform a Texas judge whether it plans to appeal last week’s decision striking down the NFA’s registration and paperwork requirements on items that no longer have a making or transfer tax, and the plaintiffs in the combined Jensen and Silencer Shop cases are turning up the heat on the DOJ and Attorney General Todd Blanche. 🚨BREAKING🚨GOA, @SilencerShop, @TheAKGuy, & @WesVirdellTX have officially notified ATF & DOJ of our intent to transfer suppressors tonight, at 12:01AM CDT on 8/13/26, without complying with the currently enjoined requirements of the…

New Jersey’s crackdown on computer code written to 3D print gun parts will soon receive the Supreme Court’s attention. A cert petition has been filed with the Court in Defense Distributed v. Davenport, which challenges the New Jersey statute that makes it a criminal offense for a person to distribute to any New Jersey resident “digital instructions in the form of computer-aided design files or other code or instructions stored and displayed in electronic format as a digital model that may be used to program a three-dimensional printer to manufacture or produce a firearm, firearm receiver, magazine, or firearm…
All Jason Murchison wanted was to teach others how to surf. Now, he gets his wish. The Navy veteran, diver and surfer reached a legal settlement with Newport Beach, Calif., on July 28 that secures him the right to teach paid surf lessons on city beaches. It concludes a federal lawsuit that the Learn to Surf owner filed last year, allowing him to operate under the same five-year agreement that was previously granted to the three other city-approved surf schools. Murchison was represented pro bono by the Pacific Legal Foundation, a national nonprofit law firm that defends Americans threatened by…

The ATF got a bit of a body blow recently when a court ruled that the continuation of the rule requiring suppressors and short-barreled long guns to be registered was unconstitutional. After all, if the registration was to make sure people paid the NFA tax and there’s no longer a tax, then there’s no reason to register the guns. But, frankly, the Department of Justice is expected to continue the defense of the registration for some inane reason.A group of Republican lawmakers has another idea. They know that the ruling itself is limited in who…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he slipped away from Air Force One after a trip last month in Turkey because the Secret Service and military wanted him on a “different plane” due to a threat that he insisted didn’t scare him. Trump downplayed the extraordinary nature of the subterfuge involved in his flight, which saw him stow away in an airport catering container to sneak onto another plane while Air Force One was sent into the sky, essentially as a decoy. He also downplayed the risk to the people — White House officials, security and support…

Snipers are a special breed, warriors with a combination of shooting skill, cunning, and patience. Military history has shown that a single sniper in the right place at the right time can change the course of battle, even in the face of overwhelming odds. Here are the five most legendary among them: 1. US Army Staff Sergeant Adelbert Waldron As a member of the 9th Infantry Division, Waldron was assigned to PBR boats patrolling the Mekong Delta, at one point making a confirmed kill from a moving boat at 900 yards.
