New Mexico’s gun control push just got louder, and so did the backlash. Over the weekend, Senate Democrats advanced Senate Bill 17, a wide-ranging gun control package that would ban common semi-automatic firearms, .50-caliber rifles, and standard-capacity magazines. The bill passed the Senate on a narrow 21–17 vote and now heads to the House, where gun rights groups say the real fight begins. The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms wasted no time calling out the bill as political theater dressed up as public safety. “Senate Bill 17 would ban semi-automatic firearms and original capacity magazines,”…
Images by the author I recently reviewed a few products from HiLight Tactical, and the hits, they keep a’ comin’.

The Peak Performance series consists of one light in several configurations. You can choose what you want directly from the website, or buy the lights from third parties. Here’s what is available in terms of body and laser…
Given how good Wyoming’s gun laws already are, it’s tough for pro-2A lawmakers to come up with legislation that can continue to move the needle in the right direction. With the help of Gun Owners of America, though, Wyoming state Rep. Gary Brown, has come up with a proposal that does just that. HB 14 would require that “ff a person who is subject to criminal prosecution is found not guilty, has had the charges dismissed or is otherwise released from custody or further prosecution because the person reasonably used defensive force” in accordance with…
China has asked all of its banks to reduce exposure to American debt, citing rising market volatility and geopolitical risks. China has been steadily whittling away at its United States treasury holdings since peaking in 2013. Bloomberg [behind a paywall] has reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The shift away from American debt has seen China overtaken by Japan and the United Kingdom as the largest foreign holders. Since peaking at around $1.3 trillion in 2013, its holdings have fallen roughly by half to about $650–700 billion, reaching levels not seen since 2008, according to a report by RT. Investors…
Winning a tournament on the Bassmaster Elite Series is monumental. And doing it on your birthday? That’s just the “Cherry” on top. Hank Cherry, Elite Series veteran and Classic Champion, found himself in that exact situation at the start of the ’26 Bassmaster Elite Series on Lake Guntersville. It wasn’t just the fact that he won on his birthday that made the win so special. While he’s won multiple Classics, this is Cherry’s first-ever Elite Series win against the full field. And he certainly overcame adversity, ending day one in 64th place. But by the end of Championship Sunday, his…
The national park system is one of America’s crowning jewels, attracting millions of visitors every year. Like any popular vacation destination, though, sometimes they don’t quite live up to expectations. New data from a study of online reviews shows which parks tend to disappoint people the most, and the results might surprise you. The Study KÜHL, the outdoor apparel brand, surveyed 96,000 reviews from TripAdvisor and Google, pulled in January 2026. The study looked at the average star rating (out of 5) for all 63 national parks, and the percentage of reviews that were negative. It examined the most common…
We’ve reported in the past about how the Trump Administration has been somewhat wishy-washy on its Second Amendment promises, sometimes siding with gun owners and sometimes supporting arguably unconstitutional gun laws. Most recently, the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) has sided with gun owners in a court case challenging the constitutionality of Massachusetts’ handgun roster. On January 26, the DOJ filed an amicus brief with the Boston-based 1st Circuit Court of Appeals in the case Granata v. Healey, siding firmly with the plaintiffs, who argue the handgun roster is unconstitutional. As background, under the auspices of its approved firearms roster,…
This article was originally published by Michael Matulef at The Mises Institute. “The State is the great fiction through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.”—Frédéric Bastiat Bastiat’s insight grows more prophetic by the day. Watch what happens in any crisis. The reaction is predictable: people fracture into warring tribes, each certain it’s fighting for survival. Neighbors become informants, families split over ideology, and communities turn against themselves. While citizens exhaust one another in moral crusades, something else advances quietly—the concentration of power. Bureaucracies expand, authority tightens, and the machinery of control grows ever more intricate.…
For the past several years, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has been demanding the Democrat-controlled legislature deliver an “assault weapon” ban to her desk, and each and every session her fellow Democrats have declined to do so. In Grisham’s last year in office, though, Democrats are poised to deliver exactly what she wants; a bill that would take almost every semi-automatic long gun off the market in the Land of Enchantment. SB17, the omnibus gun ban, passed the Senate 21-17. It now moves over to the house side where we have to stop the…

When camping in the winter, staying warm all night can be a challenge. You can bring a good sleeping bag and extra blankets, but with the fire several feet away outside your tent, it can still get really cold in your tent if the temperature is low enough. But there’s a smart, efficient way to beat the cold: an underground tent heater.This clever bushcraft method uses a trench fire beneath your tent floor, designed to radiate heat upward through the ground all night long. It creates a deep bed of coals that stays hot for hours with no need to…

Democrats in Washington are advancing a bill that targets the use of 3D printers for making gun parts. HB 2320 was amended before it was voted out by the House Civil Right and Judiciary Committee, but not enough to make the legislation palatable to those who appreciate our First, Second, and Fifth Amendment rights. As NRA-ILA describes the legisilation: House Bill 2320 attempts to prohibit the private use of 3-D printers and milling machines for manufacturing firearms and firearms parts that are already illegal or restricted under state law. This bill also prohibits the possession of…
