The state-level officials in Virginia are big mad these days. They were absolutely convinced that once they took office, they could do whatever they wanted, and the rest of the state would just fall in line. They campaigned on one thing, did a bait and switch on the voters, then seemed to think that everyone else just had to take it like a champ. And they’re not, particularly with prosectors who have already said publicly that they won’t enforce the new assault weapon ban. We’ve talked a lot about this already, but it seems the…

A group of 14 bipartisan lawmakers in both the House and Senate want answers on military service members’ protections as the Department of Defense for “the first time” acknowledged how location data is leading to active targeting in war zones. The May 28 letter, signed by U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Rep. Pat Harrigan (R-N.C.), expresses “serious concern” that DOD has not taken the necessary steps to adapt to counterintelligence and force protection threats posed by the collection and sale of personal information, including cell phone location data, by data brokers. The lawmakers wrote that while DOD has known…

The White House has signaled that it intends to hold a ceasefire agreement with Iran as long as no American troops are killed. United States ruler Donald Trump made the comment on his social media platform, Truth Social, while simultaneously blasting the four Republicans who voted the night prior to limit war powers as “GRANDSTANDERS” and “unpatriotic”. The vote, however, was largely symbolic, with most mainstream media outlets reporting that it has no real teeth to hold Trump back from using military force in Iran. A bigger issue for the US is that Iran continues to claim that no negotiations…

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down California’s “1-in-30” handgun rationing law last June, but some cities in the Golden State still have identical statutes in place. That list includes Los Angeles and Inglewood, and today the Firearms Policy Coalition and California Gun Rights Foundation, along with gun owner Thomas Lopez, have filed a federal lawsuit challenging the gun rationing laws.  Under the ordinances, no one is allowed to purchase more than one handgun every 30 days. After the Ninth Circuit struck down the state law, Democrats enacted a new “3-in-30” statute that took…

A federal lawsuit seeks to block Pentagon efforts to reshape Stars and Stripes, arguing recent policy changes threaten the editorial independence of the military newspaper that has served troops for generations. The lawsuit filed Wednesday comes after Defense Department leaders in January announced plans to “modernize” Stars and Stripes and refocus the publication on “reporting for our warfighters,” while moving away from what Pentagon officials called “woke distractions.” The announcement immediately raised questions about whether the department intended to narrow the scope of coverage at a news organization that has long operated with congressionally-backed editorial independence. Soldiers hold up the…

I’m not a big fan of HOAs as a general thing, and for a lot of reasons. Some are good, some aren’t, and they’re really attractive to the petty tyrants running around this country. To find out that a Florida HOA decided to ban guns in common areas didn’t actually surprise me, but it did bother me. That’s taking things way too far. And since this was in Florida, where the attorney general is a big fan of gun rights and the state’s preemption law, you just had to know something was going to happen.The…

If you’ve looked around YouTube lately and wondered why your favorite gun channels seem quieter, smaller, or harder to find, you’re not imagining things. According to Tactical Toolbox (TT), the tactical media space isn’t just experiencing a slowdown. It’s getting systematically buried. In a recent video, TT laid out what he believes is a platform-wide algorithmic squeeze that’s affecting nearly every major firearms, tactical, and Second Amendment-focused channel on YouTube. SEE ALSO: YouTube Nuked Big Horn Armory’s Channel Over Videos It Approved Years Ago His evidence? Two years of declining viewership data. According to TT, virtually every major tactical channel…

Over the last decade, open-world games have become so ubiquitous that they almost seem passé, and new releases need to push themselves further than ever before to leave their mark. Otherwise, in 2035, they might find themselves featured in retrospective discussions about fantastic games forgotten by time and players. Let’s take a look at a few open-world titles that suffered that fate, out of no fault of their own. Naturally, most releases cannot possibly remain relevant indefinitely, especially if they don’t form part of a franchise that churns out sequels eternally or reach a level of acclaim that cements their…

Seth Wilmoth’s running project isn’t just punishing — it also sounds like a darn good time. Last month, the athlete tackled a marathon of marathons while traversing 340 miles, passing through all 13 of California’s varied geographical “ecoregions,” and raising over $10,000 to support public lands. Called “Project Gold Rush,” Wilmoth’s mission was both a grueling endurance challenge and a fundraiser for state parks — as well as a bit of a publicity stunt for Skechers. He used two models of the brand’s long-distance running shoes to complete the challenge (so no, he didn’t tackle the marathons in sneakers). Running…

The ATF is doing away with its “Demand 2” program, which placed additional requirements on gun shops that sold at least 25 firearms that were subject to a trace within a calendar year. Gun control groups claim that those FFLs must be doing something wrong to generate that many traces, and under the Biden administration groups like Brady and their allies in the media engaged in a campaign to name and shame those shops once they’d gained access to the list of FFLs who’d received Demand 2 letters.  Under the Trump administration the ATF is…
