For several months now we’ve been hearing that a House vote on H.R. 38, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, is imminent. The government shutdown may have stymied a vote for several weeks last fall, but hopefully the bill will soon receive a floor vote in the House of Representatives. While the odds of passage in the lower chamber are pretty good, HR 38 faces an uphill fight in the Senate. Still, The Trace is out with a new explainer on what national right to carry reciprocity would mean, and as you might expect, the…
Gun Owners of America isn’t mad at the Department of Justice because it’s trendy. GOA is mad because DOJ keeps stepping on rakes, picking the rake back up, and then insisting it’s actually the most pro-rake department in history. Under Attorney General Pam Bondi, the Department of Justice keeps insisting it’s a friend of the Second Amendment while actively acting like the guy who “supports your diet” by bringing donuts to every meeting. Lots of talk. Zero discipline. GOA isn’t alone here. Across the gun-rights world, patience is wearing thinner than an ATF interpretation letter. Groups, like Firearms Policy Coalition,…
January used to be a quiet month for streaming. Not anymore.In 2026, the year kicks off with a surprisingly strong slate of movies across the best streaming services, including Netflix, Max, Disney+, Prime Video, Hulu, Peacock, and niche genre streamers. From prestige dramas and buzzy documentaries to franchise rewatches, cult favorites, and action-heavy comfort viewing, January’s lineup looks less like a post-holiday cooldown and more like a strategic content drop aimed at keeping subscribers locked in.Here’s what’s worth watching in January. If I Had Legs I’d Kick You blends dark humor and emotional intensity in one of January’s most talked-about…
Images by the author unless otherwise noted While this article focuses primarily on Turkish-made pistols, a few well-known non-Turkish imports are included for context and comparison. I have owned, over the decades, dozens of handguns. Whether revolvers or pistols, many have graced my gun safe. Some have taken up permanent residence there, while others were more transient and moved on. This situation is no different for many readers of this report, I’m sure. We tend to keep some of the guns we buy, while others were more of a “flash in the pan” and got moved on. I think back…
This article originally appeared on The Inertia. Humans have become pretty reliable for leaving trash all over the place. From the deepest reaches of the ocean to the highest points on Earth, human-made debris has made its way into every nook, cranny, recess, niche, alcove, cubbyhole, opening, and any other word that shows up when I Google “synonym for nook.” One of the places that’s become infamous for the sheer amount of garbage is Mount Everest. Since the 1980s, Nepalese authorities have been attempting to deal with it, but they’ve recently announced that they will be changing tack. A few years ago,…
Most years, I end up writing a piece reminding folks not to shoot up into the air to celebrate the new year. I didn’t this year because, frankly, it’s not the average Bearing Arms reader engaging in such idiocy. We tend to understand that what goes up must come down, and we’ve all seen stories about how even target practice can hurt people miles away. We don’t do such stupid things.If you’re going to engage in that kind of thing, shooting at a proper range or, at the very least, shooting into a patch of…
For years, the Ninth Circuit was easily the most anti-gun court in the nation. There wasn’t a gun control law they didn’t love. The only good news came from decisions handed down by “Saint” Roger Benitez. He was the isolated voice of sanity in a sea of crazy, though, and so his decisions didn’t last very long. But following the Bruen decision, there’s far less ambiguity for the lower courts to play with. Now, there’s a line in the sand that has to be crossed before a law can be declared constitutional, and states like…
Sturm, Ruger & Company closed out the year with a major move in the modern sporting rifle space, officially launching the Ruger Harrier™. The Harrier is a completely re-engineered AR-pattern platform built for modern shooters and manufactured in Ruger’s newly acquired Hebron, Kentucky facility. Rather than a cosmetic refresh, Ruger is positioning the Harrier as a clean-sheet redesign focused on fit, function, durability, and aftermarket compatibility. Areas that matter most to today’s MSR buyers. Two 5.56 Models at Launch The initial Harrier lineup includes two rifles chambered in 5.56 NATO (fully compatible with .223 Remington). Each was built around a…
The rhetoric about the takeover of Greenland by the United States has ramped up at the same time that a military operation in Venezuela leaves the U.S. “running” the socialist nation. And now, a top aide to President Donald Trump has said that “obviously Greenland should be part of the U.S.” Trump’s deputy chief of staff for policy, Stephen Miller, has reiterated that Greenland “should” belong to the U.S., calling it Washington’s “formal position.” Trump Renews Calls To Take Over Greenland In Aftermath Of Venezuela Attack Asked to comment, Miller confirmed Washington’s ambitions. “The president has been clear for months that…
Ousted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was defiant during his appearance in a Manhattan courtroom on Monday, saying that he still considers himself the leader of the nation and that the United States “kidnapped” him and his wife.Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were seized from their home in Caracas over the weekend and are among six defendants named in a four-count U.S. Department of Justice indictment. They are accused of trafficking drugs, including “transporting thousands of tons of cocaine to the United States,” as well as conspiring with drug traffickers to benefit his and his family’s coffers. An armored vehicle…
There are firearms, and there are firearm-shaped objects. The latter of these are those that look like guns but aren’t meant to fire a projectile via explosive action. This includes things like cap pistols, airsoft guns, BB and pellet guns, and non-firing replicas. Firearm-shaped objects aren’t regulated like firearms, nor should they be. Millions of people use them for peaceful, lawful purposes, much like firearms, but because they’re not regulated, we’re looking at orders of magnitude more of them in private hands over the decades.They’re for fun, and they’re not intended to hurt people.But some…
Ram has finally figured out how to give the Power Wagon a Cummins diesel engine. All it had to do was drop one of the truck’s signature features. But if you’re OK with trading some actual pulling power — in the form of an electric winch — in favor of some stump-pulling torque, then the 2027 Ram Power Wagon diesel has you covered. It’s a trade-off that Ram says its buyers have been asking for. Power Wagon Means 2 Things: Off-Road Suspension, Factory Winch (Until Now) (Photo/Ram) When Ram first relaunched the Power Wagon for 2005, there were two main…
The National Rifle Association has seen its share of challenges over the past few years, including the departure of some really great and dedicated employees. Sadly, the most recent loss doesn’t involve a reduction in force or a layoff, but the end of a long and well-lived life. Phil Schreier, the one-of-a-kind director of NRA Museums, passed away from Acute Myeloid Leukemia on December 28th, and his loss is acutely felt among his many friends. In a moving tribute to Phil, NRA Media Director Mark Keefe detailed some of what made Phil so special. He could give…
Anti-gun advocates have long held that loosening concealed carry laws would result in rampant violent crime and “blood running in the streets.” So, imaging their furor when John Lott published his book More Guns, Less Crime back in 1998. “How dare Lott write such a travesty?” they decried. “Everyone knows more guns equals more crime.” Fast forward nearly a quarter century, and gun-ban advocates again threw a fit. When the U.S. Supreme Court passed down its ruling in New York Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, affirming that the Second Amendment protected firearms carried outside the home, gun-haters again predicted…
As I inched through a sagebrush flat, I could feel the mule deer I was stalking 60 yards away grow more alert. My heavy Zamberlan boots were the culprit. Each step sounded like a crashing anvil in the silent landscape, and the deer’s ears perked up every time my foot hit the ground. I crouched down, untied the laces, and left them in the weeds behind me. With only wool socks between my feet and the dirt, I crept within 15 yards and executed a perfect shot with my bow. The deer expired only a few feet from where I…
There is no other nation on the planet that views guns the way the United States does. While other nations view firearm ownership on something of a spectrum, the best of those nations still fall well short of even California or New York, at least as far as gun rights go. That’s freaking terrifying.One nation that has strict gun control is South Africa. Once upon a time, it was probably one of the most developed nations on the continent. Then, things changed, and it’s now a dump. It’s been headed down the drain for decades,…
This article was originally published by Ava Grace at Natural News. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was seized by U.S. forces in Caracas, with President Trump announcing his arrest and extradition to face charges including narco-terrorism conspiracy. Moscow denounced the operation, demanded an urgent UN Security Council meeting, and framed the U.S. justification as baseless, accusing Washington of regime-change motives. Venezuela is a key Russian ally, with deep military and economic ties. The capture risks escalating tensions further amid existing disputes over Ukraine and could harden Russia’s stance globally. Prior to his arrest, Maduro declared a state of emergency, urging Venezuelan…
Finally, an affordable off-road sports car. It’s called the Kuhl Outroad GR86, and it’s the RWD alternative to a Porsche 911 Dakar or Lamborghini Sterrato with a few zeros cut from the price tag. This Time, GR Stands for Gravel-Ready (Photo/Kuhl-Japan) At its heart, this is Toyota’s GR86 sports car lifted and made more rugged. It’s an answer to the Safari-style rough-road sports cars that have been growing in popularity. Only, instead of a European exotic, it’s built by a Japanese tuning shop that has plenty of experience putting body kits on slammed cars we’ve never seen before on this…
In case you haven’t heard, there’s been quite a commotion in the 3D printed-2nd Amendment (3D2A) world, a hand cranked, belt-fed, 3D printed minigun. Dubbed the M1337, this project is the brainchild of a 3D2A enthusiast known only as “Nopel”. The following is an email interview I conducted with Nopel. It is extremely text heavy, so I’ll try to break it up with pictures. I have made a couple small edits for typos and spelling, not for content. The term 3D printed/2nd Amendment (3D2A) is used extensively to describe printed gun parts and accessories. An evening (email) with Nopel: Tell…
The mainstream media has a real thing for gun tracing. They’re quick to quote anti-gunners, both activists and politicians, who say that so-called ghost guns are a problem because they can’t be traced. This supposedly deprives law enforcement of a serious tool they need. Of course, no one has ever found a case that’s been broken by gun tracing, and even if there is one, the truth is that tracing only really works to find the original buyer.This was just illustrated rather well in a report about how the tracing of the Brown University shooter’s…
Multiple U.S. military bases are slated to have their chiropractic services restored this year, benefiting upwards of 400 active-duty or Guard/Reserve service members per base.This is due to an amendment to the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that was introduced by House Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) and ultimately passed both chambers of Congress, calling for the reopening of any previously closed chiropractic clinic on a military installation in addition to paying chiropractors under the General Schedule base pay scale.The amendment calls for the director of the Defense Health Agency to develop and submit a report on the process to…
