The right to keep and bear arms is a natural human right, and it shouldn’t matter where you live. That’s especially true if you’re in the United States, where we at least recognize that right. However, in New York City, law enforcement maintains a pretty aggressive posture toward people who carry firearms. Many of them aren’t carrying lawfully, admittedly, but that’s long been because no one could really carry lawfully. Even after Bruen, New York did what it could as a state to make sure the status quo didn’t change all that much. And so,…

Gun control advocates often claim that the firearm industry enjoys a level of protection that no other industry has. That’s not entirely true, but the exceptions are few. What they fail to understand, though, isn’t that the gun lobby was simply so powerful that it forced lawmakers to extend that protection to them. Instead, it was a reaction to anti-gun groups suing stores and manufacturers over the actions of third parties. Someone shot up a neighborhood with a gun, and they wanted to sue the people who made the gun. So, the Protection of Lawful…
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico will request criminal charges over 17 Mexicans who died in ICE custody or during immigration enforcement operations by the Trump administration, officials said Thursday. Mexican Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco’s announcement Thursday morning further escalated tensions with the United States, as Mexico’s government has sharply criticized the treatment of its citizens under U.S. President Donald Trump’s push to increase deportations. The request, which carries no legal weight, will be submitted to state prosecutors’ offices and the U.S. Department of Justice, asking them to consider criminal charges against those responsible for the deaths. It will be accompanied…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream. Massive explosions are being reported all over Iran as the U.S. conducts airstrikes in Iranian territory for a second night in a row. This isn’t exactly a surprise because just hours ago President Trump declared that the ceasefire is “over” and he openly warned that “we’re going to hit them hard again tonight”. Of course, the Iranians have absolutely no intention of backing down. They are reportedly preparing a very large response, and they are considering moves that would definitely take this conflict to the next level.…
There’s a profound difference between lawfare and just trying to correct wrongs. One is all about punishing the other side, regardless of the outcome. The other is about holding authorities accountable when they try to break the law. For example, there was a lawsuit in Bradford County, Florida. I covered the incident at the time. Basically, a sign at the county-owned fairground said that open carry was prohibited. As Florida has preemption, that’s not something they can do. They were asked about it and refused to follow the law, so they got sued.And that did…

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…
As the United States prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, Americans will gather for fireworks, parades and ceremonies honoring the nation’s founding. The anniversary is also an opportunity to remember one of the country’s most enduring traditions: the oath to support and defend the Constitution. An Oath to the Constitution, Not a Person Millions of Americans have taken that oath. Whether it is a young Marine raising their right hand for the first time, the president taking the oath of office on the Capitol steps, a newly elected member of Congress or a federal judge, each begins by making the…
Full-size pickup trucks rule America. That goes for public streets, and private meeting rooms at the automaker than build them. And the battle is getting a little exciting as we pass the halfway point in 2026. These trucks dominate the sales charts and the balance sheets of the Detroit Three. Now Ram is pulling closer to being the number two truck than it has in a very long time, and General Motors is pulling away from Ford when you combine Silverado and Sierra sales. The gap between F-Series and Silverado is a little tighter, too. But Ram is the only…
Nissan’s huge efforts to sell more cars over the last decade did the job of moving more metal, but they hurt the company in the long run, its new CEO says. Without pulling any punches, in a recent interview he said that aggressively pursuing the rental car market boosted its share, but those sales came with big discounts and big damage to the company’s image. Now he wants to change it. Sales At All Costs…Came With A Hefty Cost Credit: Nissan “Before, it was like, okay, we want volume, volume, volume,” Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa told Reuters in an interview, describing…
The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is intensifying. With over 1,400 cases and 438 deaths tainting the morale of health workers, there is a small piece of good news. A treatment trial has begun. The DR Congo has officially started a trial of potential treatments for the species of virus behind the current deadly Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The strain, called Budibugyo, has been difficult to treat since it is not the more common Zaire strain. The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that the first patient in the trial has been enrolled,…
California Attorney General Rob Bonta has responded to the Department of Justice’s lawsuit taking on the state’s new ban on Glocks and other striker-fired pistols, and it’s a doozy. First, Bonta claims that the government’s request for a temporary restraining order barring enforcement of the law should have been filed when AB 1127 was signed into law, not when the law took effect on July 1. The DOJ’s lawsuit is based on a pattern and practice complaint, though, and until the law was actually being enforced there was no pattern or practice of violating the…
As the United States prepares to celebrate the 250th anniversary of its founding, the military is once again confronting a question almost as old as the nation itself: What does religious freedom look like inside an institution built on discipline, uniformity and readiness? The debate isn’t new. Chaplains have served alongside American troops since the Continental Army. Service members have long balanced personal convictions with military requirements. But over the past two years, the Department of Defense has quietly implemented a series of policy changes that collectively offer perhaps the clearest snapshot yet of where faith stands inside today’s armed…
An Army officer who secretly gave abortion medication to a pregnant junior enlisted soldier, causing the loss of her unborn child, was sentenced to 12 years in prison following a guilty plea at a court-martial on June 24, according to Army officials. Capt. Brandon Jones-Adams, 34, pleaded guilty to multiple offenses, including intentionally killing an unborn child, domestic violence, fraternization and conduct unbecoming of an officer. The sentence was handed down during a military trial at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) in Washington. According to Army officials, Jones-Adams admitted to secretly placing a pill in the soldier’s drink after investigators determined…
There are exceptions to a great many gun control laws, but not for most of us. Those are usually for law enforcement officers or the military. When they’re performing their duties, that makes perfect sense, but most of those exceptions aren’t limited to just when they’re on the clock. So, it’s more than a little bizarre for someone who has such an exception to then misuse their special status, only to be hoisted up as the poster boy for why gun rights should be further restricted.Take South Carolina. An editorial out of the state just…
Ubisoft continues to announce new features for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, with the latest tease changing how players will be able to explore the deep sea areas in the game. Although the existence of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced may have been one of the worst kept secrets before its eventual reveal, it seems likely that many may have underestimated just how many new features, fixes, and other quality of life improvements Ubisoft Singapore has made to the original game. For most, the biggest change for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced was the move to the Anvil Engine, giving…
Earlier this year the National Rifle Association sued their subsidiary organization the NRA (1791) Foundation in federal court. As we previously reported, the judge dismissed some portions of the suit because they felt D.C. Superior Court was the most appropriate venue. The NRA has now filed its complaint in D.C,’s local courts, and in it the NRA alleges that the NRA Foundation — now rebranded to The 1791 Foundation — engaged in trademark infringement, cybersquatting, and claimed their sister organization was withholding funds from the NRA proper. The Foundation claims that they have been upholding…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has berated and belittled many of his European counterparts expected to attend next week’s NATO summit in Turkey. But host Recep Tayyip Erdogan has drawn on his close ties with the U.S. leader to secure his presence at the Ankara event — an appearance that may even come with a significant gift related to Turkish defense. Trump has frequently praised Erdogan, calling him a “hell of a leader” and a good friend. “I would not have gone for most people,” Trump said last week. “But he called me up. He said: ‘Please, I have…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Months after the killing of Iran’s supreme leader at the start of its war with the United States and Israel, mourners will hold a dayslong funeral and burial for the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The mourning period will see Khamenei’s body carried through cities in both Iran and neighboring Iraq. Iran’s theocracy likely will encourage the public, government employees and paramilitary forces to fill the streets in his honor. Khamenei, who led Iran for nearly four decades, was killed on Feb. 28 when the U.S. and Israel jointly launched the war. The funeral was…
