The big takeaway from today’s poll by Roanoke College is that a majority of Virginia voters like the non-partisan way congressional maps are currently drawn and plan on voting against the redistricting amendment that would allow Democrats to gerrymander congressional boundaries and give them a 10-1 advantage in representation. As a Virginia resident I’m heartened to see majority opposition to the Democrats’ power grab, but I have to confess I was left scratching my head when I started to read the responses to the poll’s questions on gun control. A majority of Virginians support a…

This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. In a Monday televised speech on the occasion of Russia’s “Defender of the Fatherland Day,” President Vladimir Putin declared that the development of the nuclear triad “remains an absolute priority” for Russia, coming soon on the heels of the collapse of the New START nuclear treaty with the United States. The nuclear triad serves as the ultimate guarantee of Russia’s security and allows the effective maintenance of strategic deterrence and the balance of power in the world, explained Putin, calling it “our absolute priority”. Countries like Russia, which are seen by the…
What happened in Puerto Vallarta over the weekend was really concerning. This is supposedly one of the safest urban areas in all of Mexico, and that illusion was shattered in a single day. The Mexican government finally did something about one of the cartels, and then this happened. Moreover, they allowed this to happen by not acting sooner, at least in my opinion.But do you know who has thoughts? Old David Hogg.He has thoughts on who is really responsible.You guys wanna take a wild guess at where 90% of the guns used by the cartel…

It’s another day, which means there’s another person with some kind of derangement trying to mess with something associated with Trump while armed, and getting domed in the process. This time, it was a man who was killed by the Secret Service for trying to break into Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. He pointed a shotgun at agents and local law enforcement and got shot and killed for his trouble.FAFO.Now, as we learn about this individual, it turns out that he had an obsession with the Epstein files, and that’s likely what sparked his little trip.A GUNMAN…
Gun Owners of America is backing a bold new bill in West Virginia that could reopen the door to lawful machine gun transfers. Without repealing federal law. The legislation, SB 1071, would authorize the creation of a state entity to purchase and transfer machine guns to qualified law-abiding citizens under existing federal statutes. According to Gun Owners of America (GOA), the proposal is carefully structured around a specific exemption written into federal law. States can and should sell machine guns to the general public.” — GOA At the center of the debate is 18 U.S.C. § 922(o), commonly known as…
In the aftermath of the shooting in Rhode Island, we’re back to discussing if trans people are somehow more violent than non-trans individuals, with a lot of people offering up a lot of opinions on the topic. Honestly, I have my own thoughts on the subject, which we’ll get into later, but for now, what about the facts? What do the numbers actually tell us?The unfortunate truth is that most of those who are interested in compiling numbers are also inclined to fudge the numbers to make a point, based on what I’ve seen over…
People assume “pro-Second Amendment” always means gun makers and retailers. Not even close. Some of the most influential support comes from wireless, coffee, insurance, payments, education, and media—industries that shape culture, commerce, and public opinion. If you think “pro-2A” support only comes from the firearms industry, this list will change your mind. These organizations have gone on record through awards, public statements, sponsorships, or mission pages that explicitly align with the Second Amendment. 1) Patriot Mobile — Wireless / Telecom Patriot Mobile isn’t subtle about where it stands. In 2025, the company was presented with the “Business 2A Champion Award” by Women for Gun Rights—an award specifically…
China is urging the United States to remove all of its imposed tariffs that came in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s decision that officially struck down most of the tariffs enacted. In a statement on Monday, the Chinese Commerce Ministry urged Washington to lift the tariffs, arguing they now violate even U.S. domestic law. Trump immediately responded to the Supreme Court’s ruling by imposing a temporary 15% global tariff under a different law. Global Tariffs Raised to 15% According to Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, the administration is preparing alternative legal measures to reimpose permanent tariffs. Some of those policies…

In blue states around the country, the gun control lobby is trying to circumvent the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act by adopting “public nuisance” laws that allow gun makers, distributors, and sellers to be sued under claims that they “unreasonably” made, sold or marketed a firearm that is later misused in a crime. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals recently upheld New York’s “public nuisance” law, and today the National Shooting Sports Foundation filed a cert petition with the Supreme Court asking the justices to overturn that decision and strike down the law…

Across the country, a growing number of retail workers are choosing to unionize — including many who work for some of the outdoor industry’s most celebrated brands. On Friday, workers at a Patagonia store in Manhattan, New York, started the process of joining a labor union. A “supermajority” of the SoHo store’s roughly 30 employees signed cards indicating their desire to join the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). The workers are asking Patagonia to voluntarily recognize their unionization effort. If the brand declines, the employees will hold a vote to determine whether they officially join RWDSU. It’s only the…
Canada has never been as pro-gun as we have, but it’s been closer than many might think. It wasn’t that long ago that they could get a short-barreled AR-style rifle over the counter, for example, so they had that going for them, and we didn’t, so it wasn’t as bad as it is now. These days, they’ve basically banned the trade of so-called assault weapons and handguns. You know, most of the weapons people use to defend themselves.Nothing major.But there’s definitely resentment with the move, and while it might feel like a done deal, pro-gun…
On Sunday, Mexico’s Secretariat of National Defense announced that its special forces had killed drug lord Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes. The death of Cervantes has sparked cartel violence across the entire country. Cervantes, also known as “El Mencho”, was the head of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). He died from his wounds as a result of a military operation to capture him in the town of Tapalpa. El Mencho was wounded in a clash with soldiers in the town of Tapalpa, in Jalisco state, and died while being flown to Mexico City, the army said in a statement. He had…
I die a little bit inside every time I see the word “hybrid” in a ski boot description. It’s historically a euphemism for “great at nothing.” So I was feeling standoffish from the start with the Scarpa 4-Quattro GTs, less than eager to sink days of testing into a boring product and lots of uphill hours in an alpine boot masquerading as a legitimate touring option. I slipped the 4-Quattros ($670) on my feet and walked around. Huh, I thought to myself. Maybe this won’t be so bad after all. I grabbed a bundle of skis and set out toward…
The “red flag” law approved by voters in Maine last November is now officially in effect, alongside the “yellow flag” law that’s been on the books for the past six years. The differences between the two statutes are substantial, and though the “yellow flag” law remains in place it’s not likely to be used nearly as often as it has been. Unlike the new “red flag” law, the “yellow flag” process includes an evaluation by a mental health caregiver. It also limits the filing of petitions to law enforcement, where the “red flag” law allows…
KelTec just pulled the curtain back on something big. At ENFORCE TAC 2026 in Nuremberg, the Florida-based disruptor unveiled the all-new KP50 and MP50, marking its 35th anniversary with a platform that pushes the P50 concept into a new era. And for the first time ever, KelTec is rolling out a firearm built exclusively for military and law enforcement: the select-fire MP50. Let’s break it down. Same 50 Rounds. Completely New Approach. The original P50 made waves with its top-mounted 50-round mag. The KP50 and MP50 flip that script. Both models feature a bottom-insert, drop-free 50-round magazine system, a full…
