When our Founding Fathers felt their tea was being taxed unfairly, ostensibly to pay back the debt England incurred during the French & Indian War, they didn’t just sit around and do nothing. No, they boarded a cargo ship loaded with tea and tossed it in the harbor. They were so polite about the whole thing that, though they smashed open a lock securing the cargo, they brought a new lock to the ship the next morning. After that, “No taxation without representation” became a battle cry leading into the American Revolution.Since then, Americans have…
The Supreme Court will meet in conference this Friday, and among the cases scheduled for discussion are two that deal with bans on commonly owned ammunition magazines, as well as a three challenges to state and local bans on so-called assault weapons. If the Court once again turns away a challenge to these bans, or even keeps them in limbo for the rest of the term, millions more Americans could be subject to these prohibitions by the time the justices have the opportunity address the issue once again. At the moment, bans on so-called assault…
A Cleveland homeowner is lucky to be alive after opening his front door and walking straight into gunfire. According to reporting from 19 News, the shooting happened just after 1 a.m. Friday on Schiller Avenue in the Old Brooklyn neighborhood. The homeowner, who asked that his last name not be used, said he heard noises coming from his driveway and believed someone was trying to steal a Kia parked outside. “I literally flew out of bed,” he told 19 News. His goal, he said, was simple: scare them off before they could take the vehicle. Instead, the moment he opened…
The 3D printer industry and the gun world have an overlap, but not necessarily an intentional one. A lot of people in the 3D printing world aren’t exactly into guns, and while there are many others who are, the truth is that these printers can be used by a lot of different people with a lot of different goals. That’s kind of what’s cool about them.But people like Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, to say nothing of lawmakers in other anti-gun states, think that the government can force 3D printer manufacturers to include technology that will…

The United States has taken control of another oil tanker for defying ruler Donald Trump’s “quarantine.” The Pentagon said that “the vessel tried to defy President Trump’s quarantine – hoping to slip away. We tracked it from the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean, closed the distance, and shut it down.” The US launched a military operation in Venezuela in early January. That operation saw the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. In addition to that, the US now claims to have seized control of the country’s oil exports. Earlier this year, Trump said that Washington plans to “control Venezuela’s oil…
One of the vehicles I learned to drive on wore Kumho tires for many years. Now, admittedly, that Mk4 Volkswagen Golf TDI lacked any performance panache or off-road capability. But the treadwear durability, confidence in wet and dry, and pricing all worked well for my family’s budget. I never even realized Kumho also produced an all-terrain tire until the company offered to send me a set of the Road Venture AT52 to test. Given some elements of curiosity after those positive impressions from my teenage years, plus the wide range of sizes available, I took a leap of faith. I’m…
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,…
Let’s be honest: most CCW sling packs look exactly like what they are. You might as well wear a sign that says “please rob me first.” Elite Survival Systems thinks they’ve cracked the code with their new Sentinel Cross-Body CCW Pack, and at $69.95, it won’t require a second mortgage to find out if they’re right. The Sentinel is Elite’s answer to the off-body carry dilemma: how do you keep a gun accessible without advertising it to every soccer mom and mall ninja in a three-block radius? Their solution is a cross-body sling that actually looks like something a normal…
(Featured image courtesy of www.guidefitter.com) Michigan’s House just passed legislation that would allow bow hunters to carry a pistol for self-defense without needing a CPL. Yes, you read that correctly. In 2025, Michigan still required a concealed carry license for bow hunters to have a sidearm in the woods — even if they carried it openly. Because apparently, the state legislature believed Bambi was the only thing lurking in Michigan’s forests. House Bill 4855, introduced by Rep. Dave Prestin (R-108th) and backed by fellow Upper Peninsula representatives Karl Bohnak (R-109th) and Greg Markkanen (R-110th), passed Thursday with bipartisan support. The…
The Supreme Court is slated to hear oral arguments in U.S. v. Hemani in less than a month, and by July the Court will have given judges across the country instructions on how to apply Section 922(g)(3) to individuals charged or convicted of possessing firearms as “unlawful” drug users. In the meantime, though, lower courts continue to draw their own conclusions about the constitutionality of the statute. While no appellate court has found 922(g)(3) unconstitutional in all its aspects, several have concluded that the law violates the Second Amendment rights of at least some defendants. That…

We stepped inside Beretta’s living headquarters in Gardone Val Trompia to see 3,000 historic firearms, cutting-edge Industry 4.0 lines, and a subterranean range that dives two hundred meters into the mountain. Beretta’s Living History In Gardone Val Trompia By any reasonable metric, Fabbrica d’Armi Pietro Beretta occupies rare ground in the firearms world. Founded in 1526, Beretta is the oldest continuously operating gunmaker on earth, and after touring the company’s Italian headquarters and manufacturing facilities in Gardone Val Trompia, it is clear that history here is not something preserved behind glass alone. It is something still very much alive on…
As Cam noted on Thursday, Virginia is now one step closer to becoming one of the most anti-gun states in the nation, and in the span of just a few months. While the approved measures aren’t quite as bad as the early versions, they’re bad enough. This follows as Virginia also redrew its district lines into one that pushes out every single Republican district except for one, which seems to be so ridiculously Republican that they couldn’t have drawn it away if they wanted.So, what does all of this mean?Let’s start with a comment from…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has taken the unusual step of tapping military leaders for high-level diplomacy, sending the top U.S. commander in the Middle East to talks over Iran’s nuclear program and positioning the Army secretary as a key negotiator on ending the Russia-Ukraine war.Adm. Brad Cooper, head of U.S. Central Command, for the first time joined indirect U.S.-Iran talks Friday in Oman, appearing in his dress uniform as a reminder of the American buildup of military might in the region. As Army Secretary Dan Driscoll reprised his role at Russia-Ukraine talks this week, he worked to keep…
The killing of Alex Pretti should force us to confront uncomfortable truths about who we defend, and why The shooting death of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis has ignited a firestorm within the gun rights community—and for once, the major organizations got it right. The NRA, Gun Owners of America, and other groups immediately called for an independent investigation and defended Pretti’s right to carry. They pushed back against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Border Patrol officials who absurdly claimed that legally carrying a handgun at a protest proved intent to harm federal agents. But here’s the…
