The Liberal government in Canada is continuing its nationwide gun “buyback” of banned firearms, though we haven’t heard many Liberal politicians touting its success as of late. Instead, most of the recent headlines about the compensated confiscation effort have centered around localities refusing to participate. Most recently, the police department in Kingston, Ontario declared it won’t be involved in the federal effort, citing “concerns related to the program’s design, implementation, and potential impacts on local policing resources and public safety priorities,” identified by both the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police and the Ontario Association…
A man leaving a gun range found himself in a robbery attempt that quickly escalated into a shootout. And at least one alleged robber paid the price. According to a report from Click2Houston (KPRC2), Houston police say the incident unfolded near an apartment complex on Rampart Street and the Westpark Tollway. Investigators told reporters that the victim had just left a gun range when he was approached and robbed by a group of three men. Police say the suspects followed him to the apartment complex before the situation turned violent. During the attempted robbery, the armed citizen fired his weapon,…
For years, Gun Owners of America has put out the State of the Second Podcast. They’ve interviewed a ton of people, and a lot of people tune into each episode of the latest and greatest in the Second Amendment world. But there are a lot of people who don’t listen to podcasts all that much. Unfortunately, I tend to be one of them. I listen to some from time to time, but I just don’t have a lot of opportunity to listen unless I just sit down to listen, at which point I start looking…
According to Poland’s ruler, President Karol Nawrocki, the country is in need of nuclear weapons. Citing a perceived “Russian threat”, Nawrocki said that Poland should be developing its own nuclear weapons program. The U.S. and Russia Are Seeking New START Nuclear Treaty Through Diplomacy While speaking to Polsat News on Sunday, Nawrocki said he is a “strong supporter of Poland joining the nuclear project.” “We need to act in this direction so that we can begin work,” the Polish president stated, adding that he does not know whether Warsaw would actually pursue this endeavor. Meanwhile, talk of obtaining nuclear weapons is…
Alabama rigs, also known as A-rigs or umbrella rigs, can seem intimidating if you’ve never thrown one. There are wild wires and blades everywhere, multiple soft plastics, and the thing looks like a chandelier. It certainly doesn’t look like something you just tie on and cast, which is true, but avoiding the A-rig is a big mistake. The fact of the matter is, A-rigs are one of the most effective bass fishing lures ever created. You can slow roll it in deep water, burn it around shallow structure, twitch and pop it, and everything in between. Its versatility and effectiveness…
The Bruen decision was a watershed moment for the American gun rights cause.Finally, the Supreme Court clearly articulated what common-sense Americans already knew: the right to keep and bear arms means that you have a right to have a gun on your person and carry it with you outside of your home. It’s a little disturbing that it took so long (couldn’t they have figured this out in 1803?), but better late than never. More federal courts are finally catching onto what the Framers intended and inscribed in our national charter.This is not the first time…
Canada is reeling after one of the deadliest school shootings in its modern history left 10 people dead, including the suspect, in the rural community of Tumbler Ridge. Authorities have identified the shooter as 18-year-old transgender former student Jesse Van Rootselaar, according to reporting from the New York Post. The Timeline The attack began Tuesday afternoon at a residence before moving to Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, a grades 7–12 school with roughly 160 students. Police say the suspect killed his mother, 39-year-old Jennifer Strang. And his 11-year-old stepbrother at the home. He then went to the school, where six additional…
Monstrum Tactical seems to be a company that produces a wide variety of products; most of them are on the cheap side. Over time, they seemed to go from small attachments into the world of optics. They’ve thrown out a lot of unique-looking optics in traditional formats. The B.O.P., which stands for Bird of Prey, is a compact shotgun red dot. Looking at this thing makes it clear that the B.O.P. is inspired by the Viper SG Micro Red Dot Sight. The two optics use a remarkably similar design. The Viper SG and the B.O.P. are both enclosed emitter dots,…
Things aren’t great in the Old Dominion State. My old stomping grounds haven’t just swung back toward embracing gun control. They’ve got full-on California with the things that supposedly moderate Gov. Abigail Spanberger has supported regarding infringing on gun rights. Honestly, there’s nothing good that seems to be coming out of there other than Cam’s dispatches from behind what have become enemy lines.But not everyone is rolling over and showing their belly. The Second Amendment sanctuary movement in Virginia is still alive and kicking, apparently.On Friday, Lynchburg voted to renew its Second Amendment sanctuary status.Originally…
Nearly four years after the horrific May 14, 2022 massacre at a Tops Friendly Markets on Jefferson Avenue, a new legal chapter just closed. And it could have serious implications for the firearms industry. New York Attorney General Letitia James announced partial settlements involving magazine-lock manufacturer MEAN LLC, gun dealer Vintage Firearms LLC, and the shooter’s parents. The coordinated resolution includes a $1.75 million payment from MEAN LLC to families and survivors. As part of the agreement, the company will stop selling its MA Lock device in New York and remove marketing claims suggesting the product made rifles compliant with…
When billionaire couple Laura and John Arnold cut another check to the RAND Corporation for the latest edition of “The Science of Gun Policy,” the outcome was as predictable as ever. After all, when you’re footing the entire bill, you tend to get the results you’re looking for. This marks the fifth annual installment of RAND’s “Guns in America” initiative, and once again, it delivers exactly what its funders wanted to hear: guns are dangerous, and Americans need more restrictions on their Second Amendment rights. Follow the Money Here’s what you need to know about the funding: Before 2018, RAND…
The Department of Justice has been arguing for months now that various courts should either uphold federal statutes prohibiting gun ownership for anyone convicted of a crime punishable by more than a year in prison, or at the very least hold off judgment until the DOJ’s rights restoration rule takes effect and individual plaintiffs try to regain their rights through that process. The DOJ reiterated that stance before an en banc panel of the Third Circuit today in two separate cases challenging Section 922(g)(1), but in doing so the government ended up demonstrating why the…
If you’ve been waiting for true high-res thermal performance in a binocular platform, the new QUEST S50R Rangefinding Thermal Binocular just answered that call, loudly. This isn’t a monocular pretending to be something else. The QUEST S50R is built from the ground up for two-eyed scanning comfort, stability, and long-haul observation. And now it brings a 1280×1024, 60Hz thermal sensor to the party. At the heart of the S50R is a Nocpix 1280 sensor (12μm, ≤15 mK NETD) paired with a serious 50mm f/1.1 germanium objective lens. Translation? Big glass, big performance. More detail. Better contrast. Cleaner identification at distance.…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. Introduction: The High-Stakes Deception In February 2026, a familiar geopolitical drama unfolded once more. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hastily flew to Washington, D.C., moving up a scheduled meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump by a week [1]. His urgent mission, as widely reported, was to sabotage ongoing diplomatic talks between the United States and Iran [2] and instead push the American leader toward a catastrophic military confrontation. This maneuver was not a sudden development but the culmination of a years-long, covert campaign of manipulation by the Israeli leader—a campaign rooted in…
As I walked through Vail Village, a familiar pair of boots caught my eye. The liftie was carrying his empty cabrio shells in one hand, his skis over his shoulder, and on his feet were Dahu’s instantly recognizable Cambium Boots. The rubber-soled, lace-up liners can be worn outside of their shells like a regular snow boot. It’s one of the defining features of Dahu’s three-piece Cabrio design. I probably wouldn’t have noticed that liftie was wearing Dahus, except that I was at Vail that morning to test the brand’s latest boots: the 02X and the 02AM. I reviewed the original…
As Bearing Arms reported last week, New Hampshire did a very good thing. They’re one step closer to having campus carry on college campuses in the state. For a state that has “Live Free or Die” on its license plates, it’s nice to see when they’re living up to that motto. And yeah, that’s what’s happening here, assuming the Senate passes the bill, too.I’m not the only one thrilled to see this, though, and neither is Cam, who wrote about it last week. The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is…
When police chase an armed suspect toward a church parking lot on a Sunday morning, things can go sideways fast. That’s exactly what happened February 8 in Hickory, North Carolina. According to reports, officers encountered a 35-year-old man holding a knife outside a nearby restaurant. Commands were given. He refused. The situation escalated into a foot pursuit, straight toward St. Luke’s United Methodist Church as congregants were arriving for service. During the chase, a police K-9 was deployed and reportedly stabbed. At one point, an officer fell, and the suspect turned back toward him with the knife still in hand.…
Putting accessories on a bow isn’t something you should take lightly. I’ve had instances when those very accessories proved the difference between success and failure in the field. You need gear that you can depend on when you need it most. It needs to be able to handle rugged country, being bumped around, and inclement weather. Hamskea has always been a name I’ve trusted across the board here. The new R7 arrow rest might just be the best one yet for me and bowhunters alike. In short: Bowhunters looking for an arrow rest that is not only durable, but dependable,…
