Mia Jones swept some of the biggest competitions in snowboarding this winter — and she’s just getting started. Not only did the 20-year-old prodigy snowboarder win the FIS Freeride World Championships in February in Andorra, but she was also named “Rookie of the Year” on the FIS Freeride World Tour (FWT). She then earned enough points to win the 2026 FWT, sealing the deal at the final competition, the Xtreme Verbier in Switzerland. It’s the same event her dad, Jeremy Jones, won in 2005. On March 28, 2026, she was crowned the FWT Overall Champion for women’s snowboarding. “It went pretty…
I’ve talked a fair bit about how bad gun research is when it comes out of either academia or the activist bunch at places like Everytown. Cam started it back in 2022. The next year, I talked about self-censorship in academia, where research that doesn’t conform to the narrative is tossed so that the researchers don’t get hate from their colleagues. All of this contributes to the lack of trust anyone should have toward research, especially when it comes to firearm policy.However, over at NRA-ILA’s website, they bring up another aspect of that, and that’s…
Things are moving fast in Virginia. According to Gun Owners of America, lawmakers pushed more than 15 gun control bills in just 60 days and some of the biggest ones are now front and center. The focus? Two bills, SB 749 and HB 217, that would ban a wide range of commonly owned firearms. We’re talking semi-auto rifles, pistols, and even some shotguns, Based largely on features like threaded barrels or adjustable stocks. Standard-capacity magazines are also on the chopping block, with anything over 15 rounds potentially banned. And here’s the key detail: Newly elected Governor Abigail Spanberger has already…
Oil prices have plunged as Iran has allowed the safe passage of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz during the two-week ceasefire. Both the United States and Iran have agreed to halt attacks, which will give Americans a much-needed break at the pump. According to a report by CNBC, US ruler Donald Trump said the two-week ceasefire was subject to Iran agreeing to a complete, immediate, and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. has received a 10-point proposal from Iran that is a workable basis for negotiations, he said. “Almost all of the various points of past…
On Monday, the Supreme Court turned away a challenge to the Illinois law prohibiting lawful carry on public transportation, meaning the Chicago Transit Authority will remain “gun-free”, at least in theory, for the foreseeable future. Yes, I’m still salty about SCOTUS denying cert in Schoenthal v. Raoul, and not just because the Court let stand an absurd Seventh Circuit decision that essentially allows almost every public space where more than a few people might be present to be designated as a “sensitive place” where guns are banned. Violent individuals are routinely ignoring that Illinois law…
This one almost sounds fake. But it’s not. According to a breakdown from Colion Noir, a man in Alabama is now facing federal gun charges after posting a video to Instagram during a Mardi Gras event and unknowingly handing the feds everything they needed. The setup? A deadly shooting during Joe Cain Day festivities in Mobile. Instead of laying low, one guy decided to jump on Instagram and mock the victim, literally acting out how the man died, per FOX 10 News. Bad enough. But here’s where it gets worse. Federal agents reviewing the video noticed something on the pistol…
Turkey vests have a funny way of turning into junk drawers. You start the season thinking you’ll carry just the essentials. By the third hunt, you’ve got extra calls you don’t use, old snacks you forgot about, and at least one pocket full of old wrappers and other crap you don’t need. I’ve run enough setups like that to know where it leads. I end up spending as much time digging for gear as I spend hunting. The Outdoor Vision Gear Turkey Pro II Chest Rig takes a different approach. It strips things down to a compact chest rig that…
The number of New Jersey residents with an active concealed carry license has skyrocketed in recent years, and despite the predictions from gun control activists the state hasn’t seen any similar spike in its crime rate. There are a little more than 88,000 active carry permits in the Garden State at the moment, compared to just 667 permits issued statewide in the three years before the state’s discretionary “may issue” scheme was struck down. While that’s an enormous increase, New Jersey still has a way to go before it catches up with nearby states. The…
What started as a domestic dispute in Washington State turned into a deadly scene and now we’re learning more about the people caught in the middle of it. According to reporting from KING 5 News and KOMO News, the April 2 incident in Puyallup began as a family argument inside a home before spilling out into the street and onto a neighbor’s driveway. That’s where it escalated. Police say 47-year-old Arnino Velasco Guanlao shot both of his stepdaughters during the dispute. One of them, 23-year-old Christiannel Lyle Macapagal Maningat, was killed. Her sister survived but was hospitalized with serious injuries.…

April is recognized as the Month of the Military Child, a nationwide observance that highlights the experiences of more than 1.6 million children growing up in military families. Often described as a form of “quiet service,” their lives are shaped by frequent moves, new schools and long stretches of separation during deployments.Communities across the country mark the month with school events, base activities and initiatives like Purple Up Day, when supporters wear purple to represent all branches of the armed forces. The color blends each service’s identity into one, a small but visible way to recognize a group that often…
This article was originally published by Frank Shostak at The Mises Institute. The yearly growth rate of the consumer price index (CPI) closed at 2.4 percent in February against a similar figure in January. In February 2025, the yearly growth rate stood at 2.8 percent. Note that, in June 2022, the yearly growth rate was 9.1 percent. Most analysts are of the view that the sharp increase in the price of oil to around $95 per barrel (from around $64 at the end of February) is likely to lift the rate of inflation as depicted by the yearly growth rate…
The state of Kentucky is a pretty red state, but it has a Democrat as governor. This makes it sure look like Breshaer is a moderate who can work across the aisle with Republicans, but the truth is that he’s absolutely no friend to gun owners. That’s especially true if you’re someone who wants to carry for your own self-defense, but you’re under 21. After all, Breshear vetoed your chance to lawfully carry.I can’t say that’s fine, because it’s not, but I also understand that his politics are different than mine, so it’s not unexpected.But…
Springfield Armory is trimming things down a bit. The company just announced a new 4″ version of the SA-35, giving fans of the classic Hi-Power-style pistol a slightly more compact option without changing what made the original appealing in the first place. If you’re into that old-school “wood and steel” vibe, this one stays right in that lane. The SA-35 line has always been Springfield’s modern take on the original Browning P-35 design (clean lines, all steel, no frills) but with a few updates to make it more usable with today’s ammo and expectations. This new version keeps all of…
