California has long been hell on private citizens owning just about any kind of firearm, but the so-called assault weapon is one of the focuses of the state’s anti-gunners’ ire. They hate it, calling it a weapon of war and saying that it serves no purpose but to kill a bunch of people very quickly. Which is why it’s darkly hilarious that the state’s various school police forces have them.However, despite the animosity toward modern sporting rifles exhibited up and down the line, it seems those same school police forces have a compliance problem.Police forces…

The Concealed Carry Improvement Act (which did nothing to improve concealed carry) was rushed into law by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul after the Supreme Court struck down the state’s “may issue” permitting scheme four years ago. The law has sparked numerous legal challenges to various aspects of the statute, from its ridiculous licensing mandates to the sweeping “gun-free zones” that it imposed. One of those challenges has now reached SCOTUS’s doorstep. Christian v. James takes on New York’s prohibition of lawful carry in all public parks, which was upheld by the Second Circuit in another…
Building a home from the ground up is a dream for many service members and their families. If you need financial assistance, a VA loan for construction could be a good solution. A VA construction loan is a specialized mortgage designed to help eligible military members and veterans finance the construction of a new home. But unlike a standard VA purchase loan, VA construction loans are harder to find. Fewer lenders offer them due to stricter underwriting, additional risk during the building phase, and more detailed oversight requirements. In this comprehensive guide to VA construction loans, we’ll explain how a…
There’s good news to report out of Massachusetts, where two cases that Bearing Arms has been following have now seen charges dismissed and gun owners vindicated. We’ve spoken with attorney Dan Hagan about these cases on Bearing Arms’ Cam & Company over the past few months, and they have to be among the most egregious examples of the state’s gun laws entrapping lawful citizens. One of the cases involved a woman named Danisha Harris, who’s a resident of South Carolina. While driving through the state on her way to New Hampshire for her job, she was…
Countries are embracing clean power and taking steps to use less energy because of the war against Iran, but it is not yet enough to help address climate change. When the U.S. and Israel launched the war in February, some backers of renewables opined it could drive a green transition as oil and gas prices spiked. So far, more than 30 governments have enacted policies to move away from fossil fuels or improve energy efficiency. Yet at the same time, global emissions of greenhouse gases increased slightly and investments in clean energy fell compared to the same period last year.…
One of the dumbest things in Second Amendment politics isn’t the animosity toward the NRA so much as how blind that animosity is. It’s one thing to dislike the organization because they either oppose you or because you don’t like how they did/do business. Those are fine. The issue is when that hatred starts to get in the way of things the NRA is actually good at. For example, teaching people their courses.In fact, a number of states have allowed NRA instructors to teach their various required courses, and it makes sense. These are already…

For many Americans, the nation’s 250th anniversary will center on July 4, 2026, and the signing of the Declaration of Independence. In Yorktown, Virginia, local officials are asking visitors to look further down the road, to the battlefield where independence was secured years later. Yorktown’s VA250 and America250 programming is being built around a longer Revolutionary War timeline, one that begins with the ideals of 1776 but continues through the military campaign that led to the British surrender at Yorktown in 1781. The town’s commemorations are expected to continue beyond the national July Fourth anniversary and toward 2031, the 250th…
California has some of the worst gun laws in the nation, but that doesn’t mean that they’re popular in every part of the state. Outside of the more populous coastal counties, there are lots of locales where the right to keep and bear arms is seen as the fundamental right that it is, and even in the “may issue” days many places, like Fresno County, treated the concealed carry licensing process as “shall issue.” Now Fresno County is looking to expand who can carry; specifically, which city employees should be able to bear arms when they’re…
Recent changes to the real-world Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington D.C. by the Trump administration make it look like Fallout 3. Credit: via GameRant, Bethesda Originally published by Game Rant Recent changes to the real-life Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool enacted by the Trump administration have made it resemble its counterpart in Fallout 3. Though the real version is creating a lot some controversy and is arguably a bit of an eyesore, fans of Fallout 3 have been poking fun at the similarity. The Fallout games have been set around various locales of the United States, but Fallout 3 in particular…
Two rights I care deeply about are gun rights and property rights. These have been ingrained in me for quite some time, but property rights were the first I came to care about. Learning about eminent domain in school sort of radicalized me to believe that a person’s property should be sacrosanct. Gun rights came later for me, but were no less important. For Salon, though, it seems that all they care about is how little they understand either.I mean, that’s the only take I can have when they, like so many others, have a…

Virginia Del. Dan Helmer routinely brags about his role in pushing the state’s new gun and magazine ban through the General Assembly, but there’s a really good chance that a year from now, the only thing Helmer really accomplished was ensuring that tens of thousands of Virginians ended up purchasing the guns he was trying to ban. In addition to the half-dozen lawsuits that have already been filed in state and federal court over the ban, the Justice Department announced today that it’s bringing suit against Virginia over the law that was authored by Helmer…
