Whenever I see the New York Times has published anything having to do with the Second Amendment, I cant help but indulge in a little preemptive eye-rolling. What stupidity am I about to read, and is it worth writing about here at Bearing Arms? Every now and then I’m actually surprised by what I read, and that was definitely the case with a column by Reginald Dwayne Betts entitled “A Gun Derailed My Childhood. As an Adult, I found Relief at the Range.” Betts was sentenced to nine years in state prison in Virginia for committing…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A tenuous ceasefire appeared to be holding Saturday after the United States struck two Iranian oil tankers, while the country that hosts the U.S. Navy’s regional headquarters said it arrested dozens of people it alleged were linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. Attacks Friday cast doubt on the month-old ceasefire that the United States has insisted is still in effect. Washington is awaiting an Iranian response to its latest proposal for a deal to end the war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and roll back Tehran’s disputed nuclear program. The U.S. military said Friday that…
In 2020, then 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse found himself in a situation he never should have been thrust into. By that, I don’t blame him, but the rampaging mob that decided to chase a teenager in the middle of a riot. They not only knew he was armed, but one of the mob tried to disarm him during the confrontation, making it clear that Rittenhouse had reason to fear for his life. The reporting of that incident was a journalistic tragedy, though, as many people had very strong opinions as to what happened, all while being very wrong about what…
You get a lot of conveniences when living in a city apartment – proximity to schools, shopping, and services. However, when the power grid fails, look out, you’re in for some challenges. Unlike some homeowners in suburbia, you can’t just break out the generator or avail yourself of a large propane tank. The elevator may not work, the tap water may go dry, and managing sanitation may be an issue. The good news is you can prepare before anything happens. TL;DR: To prepare for a loss of utilities in an apartment, focus on space-saving water storage like a WaterBOB, use…
The U.S. Air Force is undertaking what leaders describe as its most significant overhaul of basic military training in more than seven decades. Maj. Gen. Davidson told Military.com that the effort is designed to fundamentally change how new Airmen think about their role in war. At the center of that transformation is a concept Davidson calls “airmindedness.” A mindset shift, he believes, is essential for the future fight. We had been wrestling with this identity problem for years, Davidson told Military.com. For decades, Air Force Basic Military Training (BMT) at Lackland Air Force Base, TX, has succeeded at producing disciplined…
Serving as a combat medic, which included two deployments to Afghanistan, Sean Wojciechowski served among some of the best soldiers the U.S. Army had to offer. When he left the Army after 11 years, however, Wojciechowski realized that many of the comrades he went to battle with struggled to navigate the legalities of a complex benefits system. Bottom line – Special Operations veterans weren’t getting a fair shake despite all they’ve sacrificed serving in a combat zone. That’s when Wojciechowski decided to become an advocate for fellow veterans. He pursued law school and is currently serving as an Equal Justice…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. January, February, and March were insanely dry. In fact, in all of U.S. history, conditions have never been so dry during the first three months of the year. Just think about that for a moment. Not even during the Dust Bowl days of the 1930s were conditions this dry. Many were hoping that 2026 would be the year when our multi-year drought would finally break. Needless to say, that hasn’t happened. Scientists are telling us that the southwestern U.S. is in the midst of the worst multi-year…
Wildlife predator management is an inherently tricky balancing act: On one hand, predators like coyotes and mountain lions are key parts of ecosystems, and on the other, they can pose threats to livestock and crops. Federal agencies like the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Department of Agriculture (USDA) have many tools at their disposal to attempt to achieve this difficult balance, and one of the most controversial ones may be returning. M-44s, devices that emit a lethal dose of sodium cyanide to kill predators, were banned under the Biden Administration, but it appears that Trump officials are attempting…
Starting on July 1, it will be illegal in Colorado to knowingly manufacture or produce “a potentially functioning firearm, unfinished frame or receiver, large-capacity magazine, or rapid-fire device” using a 3D printer… at least for most Coloradans. There are a couple of exceptions in the new law. A federally licensed firearm manufacturer can still use 3D printers, as can “an instructor or student of an accredited gunsmithing program, or an institution that operates an accredited gunsmithing program.”While Denver Democrat Rep. Lindsay Gilchrist, who sponsored the bill, claimed ““3D-printed guns and gun components are an increasing…
The Benelli Lupo Alpha looks like an Italian design team got loose with a CAD file and a bottle of Pinot Grigio, but this 5.73-pound hunting rifle flat-out performs. It is light, slick, weatherproof, and with the right load, it shoots tiny groups that make the futuristic stock a lot easier to love. This Alpha dog is born to hunt. Benelli’s new special edition Lupo Alpha rifle sports a unique stock with stylish lines and a dozen sculpted holes that make you wonder if its Italian designers sipped too much pinot grigio and went full rivoluzionario. If you’re a traditionalist,…
The Backlanz Precision Long Range and Precision Alpine bipods bring titanium, carbon fiber, and real field stability to hunters who count ounces like they owe money. If you have been waiting for a lightweight hunting bipod that does not feel like a compromise, this New Zealand-built setup deserves a hard look.

Most of them make you choose between light and capable. New Zealand-based Backlanz has been quietly changing that conversation, and after…
The White House’s border wall expansion is once again facing scrutiny over its environmental impact. Construction on an additional wall — located 150-200 feet inland of Arizona’s existing wall — had already drawn ire for its impacts on wildlife and Native American tribes. By building this secondary wall in a protected area of the Sonoran Desert, construction has now destroyed a sacred site to indigenous tribes. Last week, a DHS contractor working on the wall damaged a 1,000-year-old piece of indigenous art. U.S. Customs and Border Protection confirmed the damage to GearJunkie on Monday. Conservationists, Native American tribes, and local Congressional…
A week ago, I was talking about the latest attempt to assassinate President Donald Trump. This time, the gunman was clear that he wanted to kill as many members of the administration as he could, excluding Kash Patel for some strange reason. He was in the place to commit exactly that attack, and he would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for those meddling Secret Service agents. But, as per usual, the discussion from Democrats has hinged exclusively on gun control. Not their own rhetoric or anything else, just gun control.Yet the…
The Call of Duty franchise’s major 2026 release may see a full launch on an unexpected platform, according to recent leaks about the game. The next Call of Duty game could come to last-gen consoles at launch, with the game reportedly being tested on PlayStation 4.

The newest entry in the beloved shooter franchise has seen plenty of rumors ahead of its official reveal. Early information has heavily suggested that the 2026…

A man was fatally shot in self-defense after trying to carjack a family’s vehicle in the Dallas suburb of Garland, Texas over the weekend. Authorities are still trying to piece together all of the events that led up to the shooting, which apparently started with a hit-and-run accident. The suspect was involved in an accident on Sunday afternoon that left two other vehicles damaged.

Imagine this: you’re standing in a dealership with one of two decisions to make. On the one hand sits a brand-new BMW 3 Series, but you’ve heard it stands to lose 20% of its value the second its tires touch public roads. On the other hand, there’s a second-hand Jaguar F-Pace, but it could potentially be harboring mechanical gremlins that could drain your bank account by next week! This article is a guide to explaining what a certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicle is. Prospective buyers are encouraged to engage in conversation with factory-backed dealerships; CarBuzz advises buyers to do their due…

This article originally appeared on The Inertia. Sea lions and seals may come off as cuddly sea dogs, but don’t let appearances fool you. When they’re angry, they’re a force to be reckoned with. And they do get angry. Well-known New Zealand surf photographer Rambo Estrada found that out firsthand recently. While shooting a handful of local rippers, the Mt. Maunganui–based Estrada witnessed a surfer being accosted by one very pissed-off pinniped. Damon “Crackers” Cracknell, who Estrada describes as a Southland local core lord, was chased from the water by the lion. He even used his board to fend it…
In Rhode Island, SB 2710 seeks to ban ownership of so-called assault weapons throughout the state. These are the same guns that were grandfathered in last year when the same legislature voted to ban the sale and import of such firearms. At the time, it was one of those, “We’re not coming after your guns, just stopping any more people from owning them. You’re safe,” kind of things, but it’s now clear as crystal that anti-gunners were never going to let that stand. And, sure enough, they’re trying to ban them all.But as NRA executive…
