When I was in the Navy, as most people who served can attest, there were times when someone higher up the food chain needed volunteers for something, and you were told that you’d volunteered. As Navy stands for Never Again Volunteer Yourself, this happened to us fairly regularly. The term we used for this was “voluntold.” That’s what went through my head when I came across a piece talking about how the Canadian “buyback” of certain semi-automatic rifles, by which I mean most semi-automatic rifles, is framed as voluntary when it’s no such thing.I mean,…

During the Supreme Court’s oral arguments in Wolford v. Lopez, one of the questions the justices wrestled with was how much weight to give an 1865 law adopted in Louisiana that prohibited carrying a gun onto a plantation without the express permission of the plantation owner. Attorney Alan Beck and the DOJ attorney siding with the plaintiffs argued that the law was designed to target newly-freed slaves and as such should be disregarded; not only as a historical outlier but as a law that was repugnant to our Constitution. While Hawaii’s attorney Neal Katyal argued…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. Introduction: The Unavoidable Foundation The fate of a civilization is inextricably tied to the physical and mental vitality of its people. When a nation’s collective health fails, so too does its capacity for rational governance, economic productivity, and social cohesion. The crumbling pillars of American power are not merely political or financial; they are biological. The visible decay of its institutions mirrors the invisible decay within its citizens, a populace increasingly medicated, malnourished, and mentally diminished. No empire can sustain itself on a foundation of chronic disease and cognitive…
There’s a new kid on the block… sort of. SITKA, manufacturer of premium hunting goods, made a big splash by launching a new product line: SITKA Fish. It promises to bring the same high level of performance to the water that hunters have relied on in the field for many decades. The reasoning is simple. Almost every hunter is an angler as well. SITKA is already familiar with the customer base and certainly has experience making quality gear that can withstand the elements. “Fishing is more than a hobby for our customers — it is part of how they live,”…
Florida lawmakers are advancing a sweeping agriculture bill that includes a little-noticed provision with potentially far-reaching consequences for free speech. Section 47 of House Bill 433 expands Florida’s agricultural disparagement law in a way critics say could make speaking up for wildlife habitat and environmental protection legally dangerous. At issue is an amendment to Section 865.065 of the Florida Statutes, a law that allows agricultural producers to sue over public statements they claim falsely disparage their products. While similar “food libel” laws exist in other states, Florida’s proposed expansion is broader than most and, according to critics, crosses a line…
Never-Trumper and co-founder of the Lincoln Project Steve Schmidt has a plan to keep gun owners away from the polls this November: remind them of the recent comments made by Trump Administration officials like U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro, FBI Director Kash Patel, and even President Trump himself that have drawn pushback from Second Amendment advocates and organizations. Schmidt unveiled his plans during a conversation with former CNN anchor Jim Acosta, promising to highlight those remarks in a variety of settings between now and Election Day. Schmidt, who was a prominent Republican strategist known for…

US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro really stepped in it recently. She claimed that anyone coming from outside the district who had a gun was going to jail, and that upset a lot of pro-gun people who supported her taking that role It comes amid other unfortunate comments from Trump administration officials in the wake of the shooting of Alex Pretti, and that wasn’t great timing, to say the least.She tried walking back those comments, as Cam noted on Tuesday.There, Cam responded to Pirro’s statement by saying:Unfortunately for Pirro, I don’t think she did herself…
We recently reported how Canada’s pilot program for its so-called gun “buyback” failed spectacularly, yet the government decided to continue with the scheme anyway. Now, the federal government is facing open defiance from many of Canada’s provinces over the gun confiscation scheme. According to a report at the nationalpost.com, half of the provinces, along with two of the three territorial governments, have now said they would decline to participate in the “buyback.” That leaves only Quebec, British Columbia, the Maritimes, and Nunavut that haven’t said they wouldn’t participate in the program. The defiant nature of many provincial governments is greatly…
Officials in the United Nations are warning that without financial support, it will go broke. The globalist organization is facing massive financial setbacks after the United States made cuts to its budgeting rules, which require it to pay back some “unspent funds”. The UN added that unpaid dues from member states are also building. As the Trump administration slashes support over criticism that the U.N. has failed to promote U.S. interests, the United Nations is warning it could face a cash crisis by July. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres warns that outstanding dues reached a record $1.568 billion at the end of…

A few years ago, Tennessee passed constitutional carry. This was a landmark bill that was much needed. Now, law-abiding citizens don’t need to ask for government permission before exercising their constitutionally protected right to bear arms. And, of course, the anti-gunners in the state hated it.While there was a lot of doom and gloom predicted, constitutional carry is still the law in Tennessee, as well as the majority of other states, and the homicide rate crashed in 2025 despite the doomsaying from the anti-gun crowd.Wierd, right?Anywho, it seems those same anti-gunners wanted to make constitutional…
The anti-gun nonprofit 97Percent has quietly reemerged after lying low since getting caught plagiarizing photos of competitive female shooters to falsely portray themselves as gun-owner friendly. The organization has undergone significant leadership changes. Former executive director Elizabeth Troye—a onetime senior advisor to Vice President Mike Pence—has been removed from the website entirely. Taking her place is Christopher Carita, a former Fort Lauderdale police officer who was denied a disability pension just last year. The Police and Firefighter Pension Board rejected his application by a 4-3 vote, with the majority unconvinced that Carita’s claimed PTSD was “service-connected, permanent, and total.” Carita’s…
Better late than never. Just 3 days before the start of the US rally season, Mini has announced that it is in.

In what can be described as a lover’s quarrel and misappropriation of emotions due to sour grapes from a set of aggrieved former directors, the NRA and their sister 501(c)(3) organization the NRA Foundation are embattled in a nasty lawsuit. The NRA proper alleges that the NRA Foundation has been withholding grant money to crucial flagship programs amongst other things. The Foundation has been tight-lipped concerning the filing, offering only some weak statements to the media — without answering any of the many follow-up questions. Now the NRA says they want to set the record straight with what’s going…
Ever since the big split, the debate over which professional bass fishing circuit is the best has been hotly contested. For years, infighting between Major League Fishing and the Bassmaster Elite series created division in the sport, and ultimately, it was the fans who suffered. The Classic lost some of its luster, and some of the best names in the game were absent at Redcrest. There was no way to know which angler was the true champion of competitive bass fishing. Thanks to a new organization, World Bass Enterprises, we’re about to find that out. It has accomplished the seemingly…
