Officials in the United Nations are warning that without financial support, it will go broke. The globalist organization is facing massive financial setbacks after the United States made cuts to its budgeting rules, which require it to pay back some “unspent funds”. The UN added that unpaid dues from member states are also building. As the Trump administration slashes support over criticism that the U.N. has failed to promote U.S. interests, the United Nations is warning it could face a cash crisis by July. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres warns that outstanding dues reached a record $1.568 billion at the end of…

A few years ago, Tennessee passed constitutional carry. This was a landmark bill that was much needed. Now, law-abiding citizens don’t need to ask for government permission before exercising their constitutionally protected right to bear arms. And, of course, the anti-gunners in the state hated it.While there was a lot of doom and gloom predicted, constitutional carry is still the law in Tennessee, as well as the majority of other states, and the homicide rate crashed in 2025 despite the doomsaying from the anti-gun crowd.Wierd, right?Anywho, it seems those same anti-gunners wanted to make constitutional…
The anti-gun nonprofit 97Percent has quietly reemerged after lying low since getting caught plagiarizing photos of competitive female shooters to falsely portray themselves as gun-owner friendly. The organization has undergone significant leadership changes. Former executive director Elizabeth Troye—a onetime senior advisor to Vice President Mike Pence—has been removed from the website entirely. Taking her place is Christopher Carita, a former Fort Lauderdale police officer who was denied a disability pension just last year. The Police and Firefighter Pension Board rejected his application by a 4-3 vote, with the majority unconvinced that Carita’s claimed PTSD was “service-connected, permanent, and total.” Carita’s…
Better late than never. Just 3 days before the start of the US rally season, Mini has announced that it is in. The brand will run two very different vehicles in the American Rally Association series for 2026. While it made a few entries last year, this time it will be the full season. JCW Race Team Brings 2 Cars to Dirt & Snow (Photo/Mini) Mini is calling its efforts in the U.S. the John Cooper Works Race Team. Mini will write the checks, and LAP Motorsports will run the team. LAP was in charge of Mini’s rally efforts last…
In what can be described as a lover’s quarrel and misappropriation of emotions due to sour grapes from a set of aggrieved former directors, the NRA and their sister 501(c)(3) organization the NRA Foundation are embattled in a nasty lawsuit. The NRA proper alleges that the NRA Foundation has been withholding grant money to crucial flagship programs amongst other things. The Foundation has been tight-lipped concerning the filing, offering only some weak statements to the media — without answering any of the many follow-up questions. Now the NRA says they want to set the record straight with what’s going…

Some packs are made to carry gear. Others are built to carry mission-critical rifle systems without slowing you down. That’s where the new Spectre from Eberlestock lands. Shown around SHOT Show 2026, the Spectre is Eberlestock’s most ambitious sniper pack yet. And it’s clearly aimed at modern precision setups loaded with accessories. At the heart of the design is the new patent-pending RAID™ Scabbard. Unlike traditional open scabbards, this one is fully padded and enclosed, with dual YKK side zippers for fast access. It’s optimized for folding chassis rifles and built to accommodate clip-on night vision, thermal units, and weapon-mounted…
The AAC Frog Kit is FirstSpear’s maritime configuration of the Assaulter Armor Carrier, engineered for teams that move between boats, water, and land with armor on.

Steele Industries’ NightHawk-Pano brings manual gain and true articulation to a panoramic night vision system built for wider awareness and flexible use. Developed with Nocturn Industries, the NightHawk-Pano pairs Steele’s proven bridge design with a patented articulating arm to push panoramic NV beyond fixed layouts. The system targets professional users who want more control without adding unnecessary complexity. Steele plans to ship production units in Q3 2026. A Collaborative Take on Panoramic Night Vision Steele Industries partnered with Nocturn Industries to license its articulating panoramic bridge patent. That decision drives the NightHawk-Pano’s core feature set. The system delivers a 100-degree…
The Sarsilmaz 7/24 is a new steel‑framed, hammer‑fired 9mm pistol introduced as part of Sarsilmaz’s expansion under its global brand name. They said they took feedback from the K12 pistol to create this new steel gun. Built on an all‑metal frame, the 7/24 emphasizes weight, balance, and recoil control. The platform uses a DA/SA operating system, with a smooth double action at about 12 lbs and a light 2.5 lbs single action pull. Stainless‑steel construction softens recoil without compromising durability, qualities still favored by shooters who gravitate toward metal‑frame pistols for duty, range use, or competition. Design Lineage: CZ‑75 at…
L3Harris introduces the NOVA night vision goggle with a repair-focused design and unfilmed Gen 3 tubes aimed at large-scale fielding. Shown at SHOT Show 2026, NOVA targets users who need reliable binocular night vision without stepping into high-end, special-operations-only systems. The company positions it as a scalable option for military, law enforcement, and public users. Orders start now through U.S. distributors, with deliveries expected in Q4. A New Binocular Built for Scale NOVA is L3Harris’ latest binocular night vision goggle and a commercial offshoot of its BiNOD work for the U.S. Army. Development started in 2021 with a clear goal:…
The new Kite Optics Stabi One is one of those products that makes sense the moment you use it. It’s a fully stabilized 10×20 monocular that fits in a pocket, yet delivers a steady image normally associated with much larger binoculars or tripod‑mounted optics. At 10× magnification, handheld optics usually become shaky and fatiguing. The Stabi One solves that problem with an advanced image‑stabilization system derived from Kite’s premium stabilized binocular line, locking the image in place and making extended observation genuinely comfortable. Small Enough to Carry, Serious Enough to Use The Stabi One is smaller than a typical smartphone…
At SHOT Show 2026, Bersa showed up with a simple message: keep the guns slim, add capacity, and don’t blow the budget. The headline grabber is the BP13, an evolution of Bersa’s slim BP9 CC. What used to be a single-stack carry gun is now a 13-round, double-stack, without losing that thin profile people actually liked in the first place. BP13: Slim Carry, More Ammo The new BP13 stays compact but steps up capacity to 13+1. It comes optics-ready with a deep-cut slide that direct-mounts RMSc-pattern optics, keeping the dot low and clean. Other updates include: Aggressive front and rear…
The Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right “to be confronted with the witnesses against him,” but that right to confrontation doesn’t apply in civil cases. Colorado Democrats are taking full advantage of that loophole by advancing an expansion of the state’s “red flag” law to allow for so-called institutional petitions, reducing accountability and opening the door for false allegations to go unpunished. As Bearing Arms previously reported, SB26-004 enables “institutional petitioners” like health care facilities, behavioral health facilities, and schools, to the already expansive list of individuals that can petition a court…
Armasight has introduced its new Pro Series, marking a full internal overhaul of its thermal optics lineup rather than a minor refresh. Built around a newly developed 640 Gen 4 core, the Pro Series reflects a ground-up redesign focused on faster processing, smoother performance, and improved overall image quality. At the center of the update is a processor that is four times faster than previous generations, enabling 60 Hz refresh rates across the entire Pro Series line. The result is a noticeably smoother image with reduced lag, particularly when tracking moving targets or scanning dynamically. Image processing and video handling…
Images by the author unless otherwise noted Ruger has always had a place (or several places) in my gun safe. My very first centerfire revolver was a 7 ½” Blackhawk in .45 Colt, long about 1979. My fondness for R-branded guns grew, and I have owned many handguns and rifles sporting the Ruger logo over the intervening years. I don’t know how many 10/22s I’ve had, and the same goes for MK-series .22 pistols. Heck, I even owned their .45 ACP American pistol – remember that? I am a relative newcomer to Ruger’s centerfire rifles, having had limited experience with…
