Most of us have heard the same arguments for gun control our entire lives. Whether we believed them at any point or not might be something different, but we all heard it, and the older we are, the more annoying it likely becomes. After all, they’re the same arguments, and they’ve all been disproven by none other than reality itself. Look at the last couple of years, for example. We were told that the Bruen decision would result in more violence. Instead, homicides went down, including a record drop in 2025. Still, the arguments have been…

Gun Owners of America’s Erich Pratt took his message straight to Capitol Hill this past week, delivering pointed testimony before the Senate on what he described as ongoing threats to the Second Amendment. Chief among them, a massive federal gun owner database. Speaking before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Pratt got straight to the point. He argued that what the ATF has built is effectively a national registry in everything but name. Pratt warns a Senate committee about the ATF’s de facto gun registry. “In 2021, GOA exposed that the Biden administration had accumulated 54 million gun…

Springfield Armory is adding a little more precision to its Garrison lineup with the release of the new 1911 Garrison Target models in both .45 ACP and 9mm. At a glance, these stick pretty close to the classic 1911 formula (steel frame, blued finish, wood grips) but with one key upgrade aimed at shooters who want to tighten things up on paper: fully adjustable rear sights. That’s really the story here. Springfield took its existing Garrison platform and added a windage- and elevation-adjustable rear sight, giving shooters the ability to dial things in without swapping parts or heading to a…

For many of us who started our shooting career with an air rifle, our first BB gun still holds a special place in our hearts. Mine was a Daisy, although not the fancy Red Ryder received by Ralphy of Christmas Story fame. For generations, youngsters have learned the ins and outs of shooting and gun safety by using BB guns. But those growing up in New York might just be looking at the end of a longstanding tradition. A bill under consideration in the New York State Assembly takes aim at BB guns and the youth who use those guns…

As new parents, it’s important for us to keep up the hobbies that fulfill us and help instill a respect for nature in our young son. What better way to do that than getting out on the trail? But with toddlers, hiking can be a hit-or-miss experience. Child carriers make it easier, but not all are created equal. We’ve tried a few different ones so far, but landed on the Deuter Kid Comfort Pro Carrier. So far, it’s made hiking with our little one a ton of fun. The well-padded and spacious holding area lets kids sink in and get…

One issue with domestic abuse is that, absent physical evidence, it can boil down to he said/she said. Physical evidence is often covered up by the victim, or the abuser simply refuses to let the victim go anywhere where it can be documented. These are evil people, but they know that what they’re doing isn’t acceptable, so they want it hidden. Because of that, when a victim finally has had enough, they can find themselves on the receiving end of abuse allegations. Or am I the only one who remembers Amber Heard going on about…
