A federal judge has ruled that a Long Island couple’s Second Amendment rights were violated after the Nassau County Police Department’s Pistol License Section revoked their permits and ordered them to turn over their firearms after their daughter had expressed thoughts of depression and harming herself with a rope. Even after multiple physicians determined the child wasn’t in danger of harming herself, the police refused to reinstate Dennis and Lisa Wysocki’s licenses, and more than three years after their guns were surrendered the Wysocki’s have yet to get them back. On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge…
Taylor Swift’s wedding is supposed to be one of the biggest celebrity events of the year. Thousands of guests. A-list celebrities. Madison Square Garden. Tight security. But according to our friend Colion Noir, the real story isn’t who’s getting married. It’s the security surrounding the event and what it says about gun control. In a recent video, Noir pointed to reports that more than 100 law enforcement officers, detectives and specialized security personnel were assigned to protect Swift and her guests. He argues the spectacle highlights what he sees as one of the biggest contradictions in the gun control debate.…

There are a lot of times when we’re told we have to submit fingerprints. I had to do it when applying for my carry permit here in Georgia, for example, and that’s still the rule, though constitutional carry makes it a little less of a pain for most people. For NFA items like suppressors or machine guns, you’ve long had to submit fingerprints with your application. I always figured it was to make sure you were really you and not some felon pretending to be you, though it’s not like bad guys routinely send paperwork…
The American flag has always meant different things to different people. For many, it’s a symbol of freedom, military service, family, and the country they love. For others, it can stir up more complicated emotions tied to America’s past and present. That debate erupted this week after The View co-host Sunny Hostin said neighborhoods filled with American flags make her feel “unsafe” following a discussion about a recent white nationalist march in Washington, D.C. The Hill covered the exchange, which quickly lit up social media and drew criticism from Republican lawmakers. “There are times when I walk into a community…
On June 26, the en banc panel of the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals ordered parties in the combined Koons and Siegel cases to submit supplemental briefings in light of the Supreme Court’s recent decisions in Hemani and Wolford. The Koons and Siegel cases are challenges to New Jersey’s Bruen-response law that outlined some 25 specific so-called “sensitive locations.” Briefs were due on July 8 and they’ve all been filed. Along with the briefs came a letter from the attorneys representing “Defendants-Intervenors Appellees Senate President Nicholas P. Scutari and New Jersey General Assembly Speaker Craig J. Coughlin.” In their…
A deadline has been set for July 24 for states and high-risk urban areas to apply for the Homeland Security Grant Program, the federal government’s flagship terrorism-prevention fund. This year, the application comes with some new caveats. The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Fiscal Year 2026 funding notice, released June 24, tells recipients that the agency will withhold 20% of every award until the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) verifies compliance with a slate of election-security requirements. That hold applies to all three of the program’s grant streams, according to Democracy Docket. The numbers at stake are $1.064 billion. Those…
United States ruler Donald Trump said that he is Iran’s “number one target.” He made the comments after recent escalations in the war, saying that he could be gone because the US has assassinated so many high-profile Iranians in the political sphere. US authorities have accused Iran of plotting to kill Trump as early as before the 2024 presidential election. At that time, the US claimed that a man named Farhad Shakeri – an Afghan national residing in Tehran – was tasked with “providing a plan” to kill not only the Republican but also other US and Israeli citizens, according…

The Holosun SCS promises a pistol red dot with direct Glock MOS mounting, solar charging, no battery swaps, and enough toughness to ride on a 10mm Glock 20. I ran it like a defensive optic, worried about the solar power, broke a screw, dunked it in water, and still came away thinking this little green dot is one of the easiest pistol optics to live with. Holosun is pushing boundaries with its new micro-optic, the SCS. Having multiple innovative features, this optic is sure to do well. It is not just another tiny red dot trying to crowd onto a…
The best micro compact pistols cram serious capacity, real shootability, and everyday carry comfort into guns that almost disappear under a shirt. From the SIG P365X to the Wilson Combat SFX9, these five tiny carry pistols prove small does not have to mean helpless. Micro Compact Pistols Took Over Concealed Carry for a Reason Concealed carry guns follow an interesting timeline, especially in the modern era. We’ve gone from subcompacts like the Glock 26 to pocket pistols like the S&W Bodyguard to the single-stack nine craze. These days, the carry-gun genre everyone keeps chasing is the micro compact pistol. Micro…
ATF is proposing to remove the CLEO notification requirement from the NFA process, which could finally kill one more pointless paperwork headache for suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, AOWs, machine guns, and other NFA firearms. The NFA Permission Slip Problem May Finally Be Ending The National Firearms Act (NFA) regulates machine guns, Short Barreled Rifles (SBR), Short Barreled Shotguns (SBS), Silencers, Destructive Devices, and Any Other Weapon with a process of registration and taxation. While the tax aspect was removed from SBR, SBS, Silencer, and AOW activities in 2025, the registration aspect remains intact for all categories. Until 2016, the process required…
When most people think about emergency preparedness, their minds jump to classic survival items like flashlights, matches, water filters, and so forth. But some of the most useful items aren’t the ones you’d find on a typical prepper checklist. Consider the garbage bag: it’s cheap, lightweight, and most people already have them around the house, yet it can serve as an improvised rain poncho, a water collector, a ground cover, an emergency flotation device, and many other things. The lesson? Ordinary, overlooked items can be very valuable if you know how to use them. Recently, I can across a video…
The revived S&W 396 Night Guard in .44 Special promises the perfect middle ground between snubnose carry and full-size shootability. It starts strong, shoots well, and then delivers the kind of reliability failure that turns nostalgia into frustration fast. Can the S&W 396 Night Guard Solve the Defensive Revolver Problem? Choosing a defensive revolver has always been a tug-of-war between carry comfort and shootability. Sizes and shapes vary when it comes to selecting a revolver, but in the personal defense context, the choices narrow between small-frame snubnosed models and larger all-steel duty models. Snubbies are easy to carry but harder…
The Browning X-Bolt 2 Special Max LR SPR blends hunting-rifle practicality with enough long-range muscle to make steel ring past 600 yards. With a suppressor-ready 18-inch barrel, adjustable MAX stock, crisp DLX trigger, and consistent one-MOA performance, this 6.5 Creedmoor makes a strong case for the do-it-all rifle slot. The Browning X-Bolt 2 Special Max LR SPR combines long-range precision features, a threaded muzzle, and adjustability at an affordable price. Browning’s X-Bolt series has built a strong reputation among hunters and shooters over the years. The new X-Bolt 2 lineup continues that trend while adding several meaningful upgrades. Designed to…
Two Tennessee National Guard members assigned to a crime-fighting patrol in Memphis fatally shot a man Sunday who turned toward the soldiers with a gun during a downtown pursuit, authorities said. The Guard members were part of a troop deployment the Trump administration launched in Tennessee’s second-largest city last fall. The soldiers were responding with local police to reports of gunshots around 4 a.m. when they began pursuing an armed man fleeing on foot, the Memphis Police Department said. The guardsmen opened fire after the man turned toward them with his weapon, the department said. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation…
The gun control lobby isn’t going away, but they have been dealt a serious setback in recent weeks thanks to the Supreme Court’s decisions in Hemani and Wolford. Some anti-gunners are putting on a brave face, while others are simply deluding their followers in the hopes of staving off depression and disengagement. Everytown Law’s Janet Carter, for instance, is basically insisting that Wolford wasn’t a big loss for the gun controllers… and in fact was a disappointment to 2A advocates. Janet Carter (Managing Director of 2A Litigation at Everytown) wants you to know that Wolford won’t stop the…
The Vasa was built to project Swedish power, terrify rivals, and dominate the sea. Instead, this lavish 1628 warship barely made it off the dock before tipping over and turning into one of naval history’s most spectacular disasters. A GunsAmerica History Detour That Reaches Back to 1626 If you’ve followed these history articles for very long, you come to appreciate that there is absolutely no rhyme or reason to any of them. I send an example in once a week, my editors work their magic, and then something shows up most every Monday. I have no idea how they decide…
Israel is refusing to leave Lebanon in peace, not wanting to remove its troops and cease the occupation. It is also considering instigating a new conflict with Syria, even though a condition of the war with Iran ending was Israel’s cessation of its occupation. Israel continues to claim that it is going after Hezbollah, a terrorist organization. But its refusal to withdraw could lead to long-lasting consequences for the US, in a war it already all but surrendered to. Israel has already launched an artillery strike on the village of Abidin in the western part of Syria’s Daraa Governorate, and,…
The first time I went to a gun show with my father, I was pretty young but already fascinated with firearms, and there they were. Thousands of them, of all shapes and sizes. Dad was mostly looking at the handguns and, perhaps, the odd hunting rifle. He grew up in the woods, shooting game, and helping put food on the table to supplement my grandfather’s meager salary as a Freewill Baptist minister. Plus, it was fun, so it wasn’t a burden at all. Still, there we were, and I saw my first AR-15.”Those are legal?”…
