Straw buys are overhyped as a source of guns, at least in my opinion, but they’re still an issue. Even if you dislike the laws that lead to such things, the truth is that it’s illegal, and it’s going to be leveraged for more gun control at every opportunity. Yes, even if there’s no interest in actually enforcing the laws in the first place. Which is why the National Shooting Sports Foundation is teaming up with the ATF and the Department of Justice.NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, together with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,…
Russian President Vladimir Putin met with U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner at the Kremlin on Saturday for renewed talks on ending Russia’s war in Ukraine. The meeting that lasted more than three hours behind closed doors ended without announcements of any breakthroughs.

Witkoff and Kushner are expected in Kyiv on Sunday. The talks come as both sides continue to escalate aerial attacks. Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy both agreed to pause strikes on each other’s…
The U.S. military has disabled advertising trackers on its phones and computers that can reveal a service member’s location, according to letters the armed services sent to Congress. Those disclosures, reported by Reuters and released Friday by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), show that most mobile-device protections were put in place only this year. The Air Force said it disabled advertising identifiers on its computers and phones about two months ago. U.S. Special Operations Command said it had “recently” disabled them on its Windows devices. The Army said it had blocked the identifiers on Windows computers “since before 2021” but had…

The Navy’s experiment with manufacturing replacement parts at sea during RIMPAC 2026 showed that 3D printers can shorten supply lines. It also exposed a harder problem: The machines accomplish little without qualified operators, reliable materials, sound certification rules and a system capable of moving finished parts where sailors need them. Morgan Bower, director of the FLEETWERX Innovation Hub, described those lessons in an interview with Military.com following the exercise. FLEETWERX serves as a partnership intermediary between the Naval Postgraduate School, military organizations, universities and private companies, helping the school bring outside technology into operational experiments such as RIMPAC. The exercise…

As autonomous cars become more visible in certain cities, self-driving technology is being tested in other modes of transportation for the U.S. military. In late August, the U.S. Army conducted testing on a commercial offshore supply vessel in Hawaii, completing an 18-hour, fully autonomous trip from Pearl Harbor to the Big Island. The ship is the length of a football field and was retrofitted in nine days by Sea Machines Robotics, a Boston-based company that builds autonomous software for vessel sizes 10 to 300 feet. Officials say the company’s SM300 autonomy package was used in the Army’s test vessel, in…
