United States President Donald Trump threatened Cuba with war earlier this week. He said that “we may stop by Cuba after we’re finished with this,” referring to the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran. Trump has already been involved in Cuba. He imposed an oil blockade on Cuba in February, while also repeatedly hinting at a possible regime change operation against the socialist island, located 93 miles (150 km) from Florida’s coast. He’s also already stated that he intends to have the “honor” of “taking Cuba” by military force. Trump: “I Do Believe I’ll Be…Having The Honor of Taking Cuba” However, Cuba’s…
Gun control advocates insist on arguing that gun control works. They go to great pains to “prove” it works, too, which means garbage studies, ridiculous claims, and correlation lacking causation except when it works against them. One of my all-time favorite arguments was one where someone tried arguing that the NFA was proof that gun control works because there are so few crimes carried out with machine guns since it passed. Never mind that it wasn’t sold to the public as gun control; it was proof. Especially with the 1986 ban preventing new weapons from…
Walking the floor at NRAAM 2026, every now and then you run into something that makes you stop and go—wait… what exactly is this supposed to be? That’s pretty much the reaction to the new Springfield Armory Model 2020 Heatseeker .308 Pistol. Is it a pistol? Technically, yes. Does it feel like one? Not really. Springfield Armory’s HeatSeeker Pistol. MSRP is $1,999. This thing is basically a bolt-action .308 stuffed into a compact, modular chassis, and it definitely leans more “mini precision rifle” than anything you’d associate with a traditional handgun. At the core, you’ve got Springfield’s proven Model 2020…
Over the past two years, there’s been an explosion of interest in the right to keep and bear arms in the Jewish community, and for good reason. With a growing number of attacks synagogues and Jewish worshippers across the globe, including the Bondi Beach terror attack in Australia and the recent attack at a Michigan synagogue that was thwarted by armed security, many members of the Jewish faith are taking a vested interest in their own security and safety. That, in turn, has led to the creation of a number of gun clubs and firearm…

We’re walking the floor at NRAAM 2026 and every now and then something stops you mid-stride and yeah, the new KelTec KP50 did exactly that. This thing is… a lot. In a good way. Right off the bat, the size-to-capacity ratio is what grabs you. You’re looking at a compact 5.7 pistol that can run 50 rounds standard, and if you throw on the jungle mag setup, you’re suddenly sitting on 100 rounds onboard. Flip it, reinsert, and you’re back in business. It’s one of those setups that makes you do a double-take the first time you see it in…
The best sun shirts act like wearable shade, protecting your skin while staying cool and breathable. To finalize this year’s rankings, three testers — GearJunkie Editor Chris Kassar, lead tester Ryan Kempfer, and contributor Rob Simpson — put 10 sun shirts through a grueling nine-month cycle. From Utah’s arches to the mosquito-heavy tundra of Katmai, Alaska, we logged more than 100 days and 400 miles on trail to find the best layers. We crowned the technical Black Diamond Alpenglow Pro Hoody as our best overall pick for its standout mix of protection, mobility, and versatility. Meanwhile, the Patagonia Capilene Cool…
Anyone who assumes women are the more docile sex has clearly never gotten between a mama and her kid. This is something that happens throughout the animal kingdom, but doesn’t stop there. Rudyard Kipling didn’t write, “That the Female of Her Species is more deadly than the Male,” for nothing. And a mom in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, went into mama bear mode when a group of teens was trying to rob her son.While humans weren’t gifted with fangs or claws by the Good Lord, it’s cool. We made our own, and she used them.At 11:20…
The right of the people to keep and bear arms isn’t about hunting. It’s never been about hunting. It’s about defending this nation, both from foreign invaders and tyrannical governments, and it seems some people are starting to wake up to that fact. Most gun rights supporters have obviously known this and have said so many times.The problem is that many others on both sides of the fence like to roll their eyes at it. They’ll tell us that we can’t take on the government and win, even if that’s not entirely true.Well, at least,…
When the siren wails and the sky turns that bruised shade of green, not having a good option is not an option. Your greatest asset in that moment isn’t luck—it’s a plan. And the cornerstone of that plan is knowing exactly where you and your family will ride out the storm. For many, the idea of a “safe room” conjures images of expensive, contractor-built bunkers that cost as much as a new car. But safety shouldn’t be a luxury item. You can build a highly effective tornado safe room yourself on a standard budget, using materials you can find at…

Beretta has just announced the official release of the newest family member of the rapidly growing 80X line. The new 80X Cheetah Tactical Special Edition is a dual-tone update to its compact .380 ACP SA/DA pistol that is intended as a dressed-up, yet more competition/tactical-friendly variation of the already popular modern 80X. The model pairs a black slide, barrel, grips, and magazine base pad with a bronze anodized aluminum frame, black G10 grip panels, a fiber-optic front sight, a blacked-out serrated rear sight, and a two-slot Picatinny rail. The barrel is threaded ½”-28 and comes with a single-port compensator mounted…
The wishy-washy nature of the Trump Administration’s handling of Second Amendment issues remains on full display as the saga of the Biden-era frame & receiver final rule continues to unfold. As we reported less than a week ago, the Trump Administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) recently decided to keep in place the arguably unconstitutional “Frame & Receiver” final rule put in place by the Biden Administration. At issue is the final rule, sometimes referred to as the “ghost gun” rule, that redefined important legal terms dealing with guns, including “firearm,” “receiver,” and “frame,” making the longstanding American tradition of building…
If you love hiking and weekend backpacking trips, you’ve probably felt the urge to take on a thru-hike. These multi-day adventures take hikers deep into wild, scenic places, offering a true escape into nature. They can also be mentally and physically challenging, and require more planning and logistical coordination than just an overnighter. Before you embark on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) or Appalachian Trail (AT), you might want to test the waters on a shorter, more approachable thru-hike. It could also offer an opportunity to test both yourself and your gear setup without committing to several thousand miles of…
When you start looking at high-end soft coolers, you usually run into two problems. First, they are often designed like high-tech dry bags, with stiff zippers that scrape your knuckles or narrow openings that make finding a specific drink feel like a game of Operation. Second, they cost a small fortune, often crossing the $300 mark before you’ve even bought a bag of ice. I went into testing the Trail Gate with a bit of skepticism, wondering if it could actually compete with the “status symbol” brands that dominate the campsite. After bringing it along to soccer games, grocery hauls,…
This year’s legislative session has drawn to a close in Alabama, and lawmakers left the state capitol without passing a bill that would have established a tax-free “holiday” on the sale of firearms, ammunition, and related accessories. As I covered back in February, HB 360 did have its share of opponents, including Democrat Rep. Barbara Drummond, who complained that it was “unfathomable” to her that lawmakers would nix the state’s sales tax on these items, even for a weekend. There was also opposition from pro-2A activists, who weren’t happy that the bill only carved out one…
