I’ve been a fan of Griffin Armament for a while, having used their M2 iron sights for years, enjoying the quality of their silencers, and, more recently, appreciating significant value in their optics line after reviewing the 1-10x Mil-R SFP LPVO. Perhaps I’ve been working backwards, but it made sense that I should take one of the company’s rifles for a spin, and what better than the close quarters configuration of the day, the Griffin Armament MK2 CQB 11.5″. As America’s rifle, the AR-15 has no shortage of manufacturers competing for a spot on your shopping list. Why shouldn’t they?…
Kyle Rittenhouse made a name for himself by defending himself from a mob that was clearly bent on murdering him. He fired four shots, killed two convicted felons, and injured a third who was pointing a gun at him. Not a bad night’s work. He was then forced to endure a ridiculous trial that was more about politics than the law, and deal with an entire segment of people who think he’s racist because he shot black people, even though everyone he shot was white.To say that it shaped him to some degree is putting…
If you’ve spent any time listening to the Shawn Ryan Show, you already know it doesn’t do highlight reels or Hollywood nonsense. And the recent conversation with Nick Brokhausen might be one of the most unfiltered looks yet at what close combat actually does to a human being—and how it never really stops doing it. Brokhausen, a MACV-SOG recon veteran who ran deep behind enemy lines in Vietnam and Laos, doesn’t romanticize anything. He talks about killing at arm’s length. About using an entrenching tool when there was nothing else. About a shotgun at eight feet and the kind of…
Gear doesn’t always need to be perfect, but it does need to make sense. At $75, that’s the lens through which I approached the Goodr Snow G Ski Goggles. These snow goggles sit squarely in entry-level territory with a price point that immediately sets realistic expectations. You’re not buying premium optics or cutting-edge anti-fog tech here. You’re buying something accessible, functional, and easy to live with. And to that end, they get the job done. I tested the Snow G Goggles for over 6 weeks, wearing them on multiple resort days. I also regularly sent them with my 8-year-old daughter,…
People say things off the cuff all the time that they later regret. Stuff like, “That Jeffrey Epstein seems like a great guy,” or, “Your sister is hot, honey.”Yeah, not great moves, to be sure. In the aftermath of Alex Pretti being shot and killed, the administration was full of people who stepped up to automatically defend ICE, but they did so by attacking Pretti, and not just for being there, but for being there while armed, with spare magazines.It wasn’t a good look, to say the least.We’ve called them out on it, and I’m…
Around 2 a.m. on Dawson Road in Albany, Georgia, a would-be burglar picked the wrong apartment complex. And very quickly found out why doors, windows, and personal space matter. According to police, an intruder broke into two neighboring apartments overnight, setting off a chain of events that ended with him being shot multiple times by an armed resident. The incident unfolded at an apartment complex on the 1500 block of Dawson Road, where residents were jolted awake by the unmistakable sound of glass shattering and doors being kicked in. In one apartment, a tenant said he woke up to someone…
Warn just expanded its top-shelf winch lineup with a more compact and stripped-down product line. Introducing the Warn ZEON XC line of winches. Warn ZEON XC (Photo/Warn) Take the tried-and-true ZEON XD lineup of 10000-, 12,000-, and 14,000-pound capacity winches and make them lower profile and more compact, but with the same guts, and you get the new ZEON XC. A new low-profile control box, as well as removing the armor from the ends of the winch, are the main things that make this new offering smaller and lighter. All that combines to make it ideal for mounting in tight…
Virginia lawmakers just advanced one of the most aggressive “assault weapon” bills in recent memory, and as Colion Noir points out, the danger isn’t in what Senate Bill 749 claims to target. It’s in what it actually criminalizes. SB 749 doesn’t focus on violent crime. It doesn’t hinge on how a firearm is used. Instead, it zeroes in on possession, redefining a broad category of commonly owned firearms and magazines as illegal based largely on cosmetic features. AR-15–style rifles, certain pistols and shotguns, and magazines holding more than ten rounds are all swept into the bill’s reach. And that distinction…
The Virginia House of Delegates approved eight gun control bills on Thursday afternoon, including a ban on the manufacture, sale, and possession of “assault firearms” and ammunition magazines that can hold more than ten rounds. 🗞️JUST IN: Virginia House Democrats pass common-sense gun safety legislation to SAVE LIVES pic.twitter.com/MLmNsznXjW— VA House Democrats (@VAHouseDems) February 5, 2026Bills banning the sale of commonly owned arms, expanding “gun-free zones,” and imposing storage requirements that will make it nearly impossible to easily access a firearm for self-defense aren’t common sense, nor are they about saving lives. These bills are…
The Mossberg 590R Chisel takes the proven 590 action and re‑packages it around modern ergonomics, adding features that make immediate sense to shooters already fluent with AR‑pattern rifles. At its core, this is still a 590—durable, simple, and parts‑compatible—but the execution is clearly aimed at shooters who value familiarity and modularity. Folding Stock That Still Functions The standout feature is the Chisel folding stock, which folds to the side and allows the shotgun to fire while folded. This keeps the gun usable in confined spaces without turning it into a range‑only novelty. The stock includes integrated QD sling points, adding…
Images by the author I have not had much experience with John Browning’s wunderkind, the .50 BMG. Let’s say that right up front. But I’ve always had a fascination with it, probably starting when I was a young pup, building plastic models of WWII aircraft and painting their “machine guns” a gunmetal color. I imagined what it would’ve been like to fire them. Fast-forward several decades, with two reviews under my belt of an Armalite .50BMG bolt rifle. Then add to that my recent review of the HM Defense Sniper Rifle in that esteemed caliber. I guess you could say I…
United States President Donald Trump has called for a cap on credit card interest rates, which he believes will help Americans save for a home. Trump says that the maximum interest rate credit cards should charge is 10%, and proposed that this go on for a full year. The average credit card rate was 19.62% as of January 21st, according to Bankrate. “I’m asking Congress to cap credit card interest rates at 10% for one year, and this will help millions of Americans save for a home,” Trump said Wednesday during a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland,…

Trump’s pledge to restore and enhance immigration enforcement would never be easy. For decades, corrupt political interests have depended on open borders, mass immigration (legal and illegal), and a commitment to corrupt government largesse for migrants versus the rule of law. Inevitably, left-wing activists would seize every opportunity to stop Trump’s deportation agenda, even if it meant violence, public disorder, destruction, or even death. One crazed Minnesota Karen, Renee Good, threw her life away to protect violent illegal migrants. Alex Pretti, a male Karen with a history of mental health issues, made a pretty dumb…
The original version of this article was published on BikeRumor. A major cycling event in Minneapolis has been canceled in the wake of ongoing protests against ICE. Quality Bicycle Products (QPB), one of the country’s biggest bike distributors, had planned to host an in-house trade show called Frostbike at the end of February. But because “current enforcement activities make it unsafe for some of our attendees to travel to the Twin Cities, then the event is not safe for all attendees,” QPB president Rich Tauer said in a cancellation notice posted on the QPB site this week. The event planned…
