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…
Washington state legislators are pulling out all the stops to ram through House Bill 2320, a sweeping measure that gun rights advocates warn criminalizes not just homemade firearms but the very knowledge and tools used to create them. On February 6, the Washington House made an unusual procedural move: they yanked HB 2320 from the Appropriations Committee—normally a mandatory stop for any bill with fiscal implications—and sent it straight to the Rules Committee. Translation: it can now hit the floor for a vote at any moment, with minimal public scrutiny. The NRA-ILA immediately called out the maneuver as an attempt…
Starting 2026 with a splash, Toyota just revealed the fifth-generation 2027 Toyota Highlander. It’s longer, lower, and wider than the outgoing model and is propelled solely by electricity. No longer playing second fiddle to the larger — and popular — Toyota Grand Highlander, which debuted in 2024, it instead enters the North American market as Toyota’s fourth BEV. And styling took a leap forward in the process. The 2027 Toyota Highlander takes design cues from the new-for-2026 RAV4, as well as its bZ brethren. Moreover, it offers front- or all-wheel-drive options, two battery pack sizes, and two trims to choose…
President Donald Trump said some unfortunate things after the shooting of Alex Pretti. When I say “unfortunate,” though, let me be clear. His comments regarding whether Pretti had a right to be armed that day run counter to what I believe when it comes to gun rights. I vehemently disagree with him on it. But, if the 2024 election–to say nothing of the two before then–I’m not sure my vote would be much different. After all, while he made that comment, and it was just the latest example of less-than-stellar Second Amendment credentials, he was…
If Virginia becomes completely untenable for me to keep living here, I’ll most likely move across the border to West Virginia. It’s still close to family and friends, and it’s red enough that I wouldn’t be too worried about a Democrat takeover (though the parts of West Virginia closest to D.C. are already seeing an influx of government employees moving in). I have to admit, though, that Wyoming is looking increasingly attractive as well, in large part because the legislature continues to find ways to strengthen our right to keep and bear arms. Following the 2025…
MDT has made a name for itself in the precision rifle world with modular, high quality chassis systems, accessories, and stocks. Beyond maintaining a comprehensive catalog and ecosystem, MDT continues to actively refine and expand its product lines. One of the most exciting recent additions is the introduction of inlets for two of North America’s most popular rifles, the Ruger American and the Ruger 10/22. Photo Credit MDT The MDT LSS line of chassis is arguably one of the most popular options for both new and experienced shooters. Much like Burger King, you can have your LSS chassis “your way.”…
Last year, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier stood firm on the Second Amendment by agreeing with a judge that a gun control measure in the state was unconstitutional. This law barred legal adults under 21 from carrying a firearm concealed. They’re adults, you see, but not adult enough for anti-gunners. He did what many anti-gun attorney generals would do when it came down to defending a law that went against their principles.And, it seems, anti-gunners in the Sunshine State are displeased with Uthmeier about this.In a written statement issued Monday, Broward State Attorney Harold Pryor…
Images by the author Even though I came to the bolt action rifle table a bit later in my life, I had been aware of the Scout rifle concept as envisaged by gun guru Jeff Cooper for decades. I just had no way to own one, nor a reason to. In more recent years, since becoming a writer, doors have been opened that were closed before. Also, Indiana changed its deer firearms season laws, and now almost everything from .219 up in bullet diameter is permissible. Those doors swung wide open. (It’s going to take an effort to decide whether…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. Sam Darnold just WON the Super Bowl…and LOST $71k because it was in California Watch as Boomer Esiason explains why the players should block any future Super Bowls in California… Here’s SchiffSovereign’s James Hickman to explain the farce… Yesterday, the Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. From a financial perspective, each Seahawks player will take home $178,000—payment for that particular game. Now, given that the Super Bowl was played in California—and the players earned money playing in the game— it’s reasonable for…
The great thing about instant soups is that most of them are as easy to make as a cup of tea. They may not pack a lot of calories, but on a cold day or when you actually have a cold they can be a welcome addition to your diet.One of the primary benefits of adding instant soups to your food storage is that they tend to have a long shelf-life and are inexpensive to put together. Variety is sometimes a challenge with long-term food storage and instant soups can create a lot of flavor options for a potentially monotonous…
On the afternoon of Oct. 4, 1918, American artillery hit a ravine in France’s Argonne Forest. The rounds were falling directly on roughly 500 U.S. soldiers that had been trapped behind enemy lines for two days. Maj. Charles Whittlesey, a New York lawyer commanding the surrounded force, had one way left to stop the bombardment. His life and the lives of his men now rested on a lone carrier pigeon.That bird, a black check homing pigeon named Cher Ami, flew 25 miles through gunfire with a message attached to his wounded leg. The flight helped save hundreds of American soldiers…
It’s pitch dark as I open the door for a 6 a.m. run. Ah, February. I press the single button on the side of the Fenix HM55R Renegade, and a white beam cuts through the pre-dawn gloom. My dog pulls hard on the harness and leash tethered to my waist, and I lurch onto the trail. Nothing like a good headlamp and eager pup to hold you accountable to those fitness promises to yourself, even in the darkest of months. And when I mention “good headlamp,” I may be understating the capability of the new(ish) Fenix HM55R Renegade. While small…
Whether it’s ignorance or fabrication, the truth of the matter is that anti-gunners routinely espouse a belief that the firearm industry is responsible for violent, gun-related crimes. Back in the day, lawsuits against gun manufacturers were common. Anti-gun groups routinely funded suits that tried to place the blame for violent crime on companies like Smith & Wesson, Ruger, etc. The PLCAA was passed in response to that because they were trying to hold manufacturers responsible for what third parties did, creating massive costs to these companies for things that were beyond their control.That died down…
