The U.S. v. Hemani case is sending shockwaves across the country. The New Jersey Office of Attorney General commented on the opinion when queried about it and it’s — interesting. What a whirlwind couple of weeks in the United States with U.S. Supreme Court opinions flooding the halls of jurisprudence. Naturally, at Bearing Arms we’ve had our eyes cast on two cases ripe for opinions: U.S. v. Hemani and Wolford v. Lopez. The case less controversial to more progressive jurisdictions was Hemani, dealing with so-called “unlawful” users of drugs. No press release came from New Jersey…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran launched a drone assault targeting Bahrain while a ship in the Strait of Hormuz separately came under attack Saturday, likely Tehran’s response to overnight airstrikes by the United States. The attacks across the Persian Gulf show the danger of the Iran war again spinning out of control, even after Iran and the U.S. reached an interim deal to try and agree on a final accord to end the conflict. The U.S. had launched its airstrikes in response to an Iranian drone attack on a ship trying to get out of the strait on…
A 270-foot medium endurance cutter offloaded approximately 7,720 pounds of cocaine and 4,000 pounds of marijuana Friday at Port Everglades in Florida, amounting to more than $63 million in allegedly smuggled drugs. The service said Friday that the seized contraband resulted from three interdictions in international waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean made by Coast Guard Cutter Bear, home-ported in Portsmouth, Va. They reflect a continuation of the service’s efforts to counter drug operations in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, as part of Operation Pacific Viper. As roughly 80% of drug interdictions occur at sea, the Coast Guard works with entities…
The U.S. Virgin Islands don’t seem to consider themselves part of the United States. The reason I say that is that while it’s not a state, but a territory, it makes a lot of gun control moves that ignore the Second Amendment. Granted, a lot of states do so as well, so I probably shouldn’t jump to conclusions. The thing is, the governor there just passed a new gun control law that is, frankly, awful. Hypothetically, it was supposed to help gun owners, but it failed in almost every conceivable way, as Cam noted earlier…
Nashville resident Gabe Marrero had plenty of hesitation about trail running. The idea of going out in the woods provoked a litany of fears for him. He was worried about getting lost or being attacked by snakes and bears. Most of all, the thought of being alone in a forest — especially as a person of color — was a scary proposition. Marrero had always thought of trail running as a “white people activity,” or something that “black and brown people just don’t do.” Then he joined the Freedom to Run program created by the Running Industry Diversity Coalition (RIDC). The…
As the Nixon Library prepares to make a big announcement, a famous aircraft used by multiple presidents is getting a makeover. On Monday, June 29, the library located in Yorba Linda, Calif., is scheduled to formally announce and reveal plans to build a new educational center on its campus. That news coincides with a grand sendoff of the six-ton Sikorsky VH-3A “Sea King” presidential helicopter as it temporarily departs the campus for a complete restoration at March Field Air Museum in Riverside, Calif. That completely-restored helicopter is slated to return in 2028 as a centerpiece of the new building. The…
A Marine Corps veteran and other advocates are warning that sections contained within major proposed legislation “will cause significant harm” to veterans, students, survivors and families. The criticism is tied to the comprehensive yet somewhat controversial Take Care of America’s Veterans Act (TCAVA) being deliberated in Congress, which has faced pushback correlated with budgeting, benefits, and purported negative repercussions on military service members with conditions including tinnitus and sleep apnea. The TCAVA introduced last week includes more than 60 veterans’ bills, such as the Major Richard Star Act, the Love Lives On Act, caregiver reforms, VA modernization initiatives and combat-injured…

Ted Turner will be remembered first as the man who built CNN, which is fair. He changed television, owned the Atlanta Braves, launched major cable networks, and became one of the most recognizable media figures in America. He was also a billionaire many times over. One thing making fewer headlines is how he used that wealth in one of the most concrete ways possible: he bought land and kept it intact, restoring and maintaining natural ecosystems alongside agricultural ventures. Turner died Wednesday, May 6, at age 87, surrounded by family, Turner Enterprises announced. The company described him as a philanthropist,…
The ever-increasing use of AI may be of benefit in some regards, but it has plenty of drawbacks as well. One of them is the ease with which bad actors can create fake content. Couple that with the ubiquitous nature of social media, and you have a recipe for disaster. When I was talking with Gun Owners Action League head Jim Wallace for today’s Bearing Arms’ Cam & Company, one of the topics that came up was a recent post by the group headlined “FAKE NEWS on SUPREME COURT LICENSING “DECISION.”GOAL has received a lot…
Every year, brands trim the fat to stay lean in a constantly evolving automotive landscape. The transition to electrification keeps manufacturers’ sights fixed on new horizons, with little regard for the past—apart from nostalgic designs and decals. There are still nameplates that keep providing what we enjoy most about cars: the fact that they still need a driver behind the wheel. It’s easy to find a new car that can change lanes, brake, parallel park, and even call first responders upside down. But, what makes a car boring is exactly all of that. For us at CarBuzz to have an…
Some of the best meals I’ve ever had have been outside, hanging out around a fire at a campground, or miles into the backcountry. Maybe I was just hungry after a long day in the mountains. Or maybe food tastes better when it’s eaten outside. Either way, having a dialed camp kitchen makes those meals even more enjoyable to cook (and eat). Over the years, my setup has evolved as I’ve developed new systems and collected new gear. Once upon a time, my camp kitchen was pretty rudimentary. Those days are long gone, though. After years of slowly dialing the camp…
Guns are a key part of American culture, but we can’t escape that they’re also a key thing various extremist groups are going to want to get their hands on. Part of the reason our gun rights matter is that extremists will get firearms, and we need to be able to protect ourselves from such people. Other countries like to think they have a more enlightened approach to extremism. They have a lot of stern language about extremism, leave most people open to being killed without the means to defend themselves, and then, when something happens,…

Fresh on the heels of its lawsuit challenging Denver, Colorado’s ban on “assault weapons,” the Department of Justice has now filed a new complaint in federal court taking on the state’s ban on “large capacity” magazines. As Bearing Arms reported on Tuesday, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser was recently sent a demand letter from DOJ’s Civil Rights Division warning of litigation if the state continued to enforce its prohibition on the sale, transfer, and in many cases, the possession of ammunition magazines that can hold more than 15 rounds. Now the DOJ has followed up…

This rifle is packed with next-gen features: a redesigned rigid handguard system to…
A coalition of House Democrats introduced legislation on Tuesday that would prohibit additional federal funding for military action against Iran unless Congress formally authorizes the conflict through an authorization for the use of military force, or a declaration of war. The legislation, titled the “No Funds for Iran War Act,” is backed by 18 Democratic House lawmakers, including multiple military veterans and ranking members on the chamber’s House Armed Services, Foreign Affairs and Intelligence committees. The bill comes forward as the military operation in Iran, that began with strikes by the United States and Israel on Feb. 28, surpassed its…
Iran launched its first missile and drone attack on the United Arab Emirates since a ceasefire with the United States took effect on April 8th. It also fired two drones at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, UAE authorities said Monday. Iran Says The US Is Lying About Striking Iranian Boats This news comes as the US announced it will temporarily pause “Project Freedom,” a “humanitarian effort” aimed at guiding vessels and oil tankers safely through the Strait of Hormuz, as the blockades affect global oil supply. The U.S. military said two commercial vessels safely transited the key waterway…
It isn’t often that a National Guard Assault Helicopter Battalion has to rescue hikers and their pets, but when they do, they’re well-equipped for the job. On May 2, the Tennessee Army National Guard assisted the Nolichuckey Fire Department and local search and rescue (SAR) teams in extracting a lost hiker and his German shepherd from the Sampson Mountain Wilderness in the Cherokee National Forest. The hiker had gotten turned around and was stranded in a ravine overnight. The victim was discovered by rescue personnel in a hypothermic state, wearing just shorts and a T-shirt. He’d been missing for almost…
