Lonnie Dupre is a renowned Arctic explorer who can’t get enough of Greenland. He and his expedition partner, Pascale Marceau, are currently halfway through their latest adventure to the far north, but this time, they’re working out of their comfort zones. Dupre’s first expedition to Greenland was in 1997, when he and John Hoelscher became the first people to circumnavigate the country by kayak and dogsled. Then, in 2022, he returned with Marceau to travel by dogsled again, documenting how climate change was affecting Inuit communities. But ever since that first expedition, a thought has been growing in the back…
New York City’s ban on stun guns and tasers will remain in effect for now, thanks to a ruling by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals released on Monday, less than a month after oral arguments were held. In Calce v. New York City, the plaintiffs, including the Firearms Policy Coalition and Second Amendment Foundation, had argued that the ban on electronic weapons violates the Second Amendment. The Second Circuit’s decision largely mirrors what the district court had to say about the legal challenge; namely, that the plaintiffs failed to show the arms in question…
In an ill-advised move that has gun-rights organizations and pro-gun advocates angry, the Trump Administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has chosen to keep in place the arguably unconstitutional “Frame & Receiver” final rule put in place by the Biden Administration. “At this time, the [Trump Administration] has decided to maintain the current definition of firearm ‘frame’ and ‘receiver’ contained in that final [Biden Administration] rule,” the administration wrote on April 8. 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…
There’s something fun about skiing in a onesie. It’s cozy, a little ridiculous in the best way, and legitimately capable as a cold-weather base layer. The Smartwool Women’s Classic Thermal Merino Base Layer One Piece leans into that vibe. The design combines Smartwool’s classic 250g merino fabric with an all-in-one design that’s equal parts practical and playful. The concept is simple. Instead of a base layer top and bottom, the Classic Thermal One Piece connects everything into one continuous layer of 100% merino wool. That design eliminates the small gaps where cold air sneaks in between layers. It keeps the…
When we say that guns don’t kill people, people kill people, anti-gunners roll their eyes. They think it’s just some trite saying we use to shift responsibility or something, but the truth is that the problem is and has always been about people. People are dangerous. People decide to take lives. Even if guns were gone from the criminal world, we’d still see acts of violence.Take New York City. On Saturday, three people were attacked by a madman with a machete.As Ammoland editor Duncan Johnson notes, it shows the problem with banning guns in so-called sensitive…
The Middle East ceasefire and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz are on extremely shaky ground. The Israelis are desperate and will do whatever they can to reignite the war, Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi has told RT India. Iran Accused Israel and The U.S. Of Violating The Ceasefire Marandi is blaming the “desperation” to end the ceasefire and reignite the war on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “But right now there is a spoiler, and that is Netanyahu,” he added. Pointing to the pounding of Lebanon by Israeli forces, Marandi said that “this means the commitments given by the United…
New Jersey has some of the most restrictive gun control laws in the country, including a lengthy and needlessly expensive process to obtain a permit to carry. While those laws have proved to be an impediment to lawful gun ownership, as an incident in Union Township over the weekend proves, they’re not doing much to curb violent crime. One person was killed and six others were wounded at a Chick Fil A restaurant when multiple individuals opened fire in what police say was not a random attack. After the shooting, a man told CBS News New…
There’s a potential shakeup coming out of the ATF and according to the Gun Owners of America, it could be a big deal… depending on how far it actually goes. At the center of it all is the Biden-era rule that required gun dealers to permanently retain firearm transaction records, those ATF Form 4473s that document who bought what. GOA says that rule wasn’t just about recordkeeping. It was about building a registry. And now, with a new rule reportedly in the works under the Trump administration, there’s a chance to roll that back. The question is: How much? According…
A new final rule published by the Trump Administration’s Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has put an end to “reputational risks” as an excuse for banking discrimination. At issue is the practice of large banks “debanking” or refusing to do business with corporations, like those in the firearm and ammo industry, that are legal but some consider politically incorrect. Last December, the OCC released findings that over the past several years, large banks systematically “made inappropriate distinctions” of lawful businesses, including those against firearm-related businesses, to restrict access to banking…
