A Colorado activist in charge of an anti-gun and anti-violence organization called Heavy Hands, Heavy Hearts has been convicted of second-degree murder in the shooting death of a man at his son’s fifth birthday party. 47-year-old Lumumba Sayers Sr. was originally charged with first-degree murder in the killing of 28-year-old Malcolm Watson, who was shot while hosting a birthday party for his young son at a park in the Denver suburb of Commerce City on August 10, 2024. According to prosecutors, Sayers was seeking revenge for the murder of his son, Lumumba Sayers, Jr. who…
LONDON — In the world of diplomatic faux pas, it could have been a lot worse. At Tuesday’s state dinner honoring King Charles III and Queen Camilla, U.S. President Donald Trump said that during a private meeting earlier in the day the British monarch had agreed with him that Iran should never be allowed to have nuclear weapons. “We’re doing a little Middle East work right now … and we’re doing very well,” Trump told the audience. “We have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we’re never going to let that opponent ever — Charles agrees with me, even more…
Standing at the top of the park jumps, it was my turn to ride in front of the camera. I would be sending the big jump line at Crested Butte Mountain Resort on a spring day in February. The unusually warm temperatures had the extreme terrain riding poorly due to icy conditions. But the terrain park, on a sunnier aspect, was perfectly soft. The local high school kids were out in force today, constantly putting down bigger tricks. At almost 30 years old, I have learned to approach the park a bit differently — no longer willing to take as…
Aero Precision isn’t bankrupt. But something is clearly wrong. Inventory has vanished. Orders are delayed for months. Lawsuits are piling up. And the company hasn’t said a word—until now. (see below). If you’ve spent any time on AR15.com, Sniper’s Hide, Ruger Forum, or gun-Reddit in the last few months, you’ve seen the question over and over: Is Aero Precision dying? Builder sets are gone. Lowers are unobtainium. Dealers say wholesale orders take months. Forum posts claim insurance got yanked from employees. So what’s actually going on at the Tacoma-based AR-15 giant? We pulled together public records, court filings, the company’s…
Billionaire hedge fund boss Ray Dalio has said that the United States has slid into stagflation for the first time since the early 1980s. Dalio, who founded the Bridgewater Associates hedge fund and is famed for correctly predicting the 2008 financial crisis. Stagflation is a toxic combination of stagnant economic growth, high inflation, and high unemployment. It last gripped the US in the 1970s and early 1980s, when an OPEC oil embargo sent energy prices spiraling. It took the US Federal Reserve a series of brutal rate hikes – pushing borrowing costs above 20% – to finally break the cycle,…
Gun owners have won a significant victory in Maryland, with the state Supreme Court tossing several gun control ordinances adopted by Montgomery County in the wake of the Bruen decision in 2022. Maryland legislators passed their own Bruen response bill after the state’s “may issue” concealed carry permitting system was ruled unconstitutional by SCOTUS, but Montgomery County’s measures were even more restrictive. The Maryland Supreme Court opinion is thick with legalese and citations to various sections of code that can make it a little difficult to understand the scope of its decision, but the 2A group Maryland Shall…

Since the Virginia General Assembly approved a revised version of the bill last week, there’s been a whole lot of confusion about Virginia’s HB 1525, which raises the age to purchase handguns from 18 to 21 and requires the Virginia State Police to resume conducting background checks on private sales. Governor Abigail Spanberger’s amended version contained language that declared the act an emergency, which would allow it to take effect immediately, but the legislature did not approve the changes with a 4/5ths vote, which is supposedly what’s required in order for that “emergency” provision to be adopted. …
Remember when Sarah Brady’s heirs and the rest of the gun-control hacks insisted suppressors were sinister assassin tools that no decent American had any business owning? Pour one out for that talking point, because it’s officially dead. American gun owners just buried it under a mountain of registered cans. The ATF’s NFA Division has processed more than one million forms in the first four months of 2026 alone, according to numbers flagged last week by the American Suppressor Association. As of April 23, the Division had cleared seven figures of paperwork — and over half of that pile is Form…

When SCCY Firearms introduced their inexpensive striker-fired handgun, they called it the DVG-1. What not just everybody knew was that DVG stood for “Davis Versus Goliath.” Israel’s King David was one of the most compelling figures in human history. Most folks know at least the rudiments of the story. David was just a kid, likely barely even a teenager, when he faced down the nine-foot Philistine giant Goliath. Per the Biblical narrative, David used his shepherd’s sling to brain the guy in the forehead with a rock before decapitating him with his own sword. When David was preparing for this…
A faithful throwback with modern shootability, the Cimarron Model No. 3 American brings Old West speed reloads and shockingly tight groups to today’s range. Old West, Reloaded: Why This Top Break Still Matters Cimarron Recreates the Model 3 American You know what it is like when you finally sit down to dinner after a long day, and then you are interrupted. Dallas Stoudenmire had been in court attending an inquest into the death of two murdered vaqueros who had been looking for cattle stolen from Mexico. The word on the street was that two American rustlers had killed the Mexican…
The Taurus GX4 Strike Bravo feels like a compact 9mm built with a mission, not a marketing meeting. We ran it suppressed and compensated, and it stayed smooth, flat, and stubbornly reliable. Taurus + Strike Industries: A Collab That Feels Purpose-Built Taurus teamed up with Strike Industries to create the GX4 Strike Bravo, and the result is a compact 9mm platform that feels purpose-built rather than gimmicky. This setup immediately stood out thanks to its thoughtful features and strong ergonomics. We ran this pistol both suppressed and compensated, and it handled each configuration without complaint. The Strike Bravo variant builds…
I resisted NFA items for a long time. First, on principle, why should I have to pay $200 to exercise my rights? Poll taxes are B.S.! Second, the wait time killed the fun. I’m too impatient for that. However, after the common use argument arose, it seemed like it could open the potential for claiming NFA items are in common use for future gun rights arguments. Add on the quick approvals via eForms, and I cracked and filed my first Form 1. Now, the zero ($0) dollar stamp makes this a no-brainer. A Form 1 is the ATF form that…
Canada has cracked down extensively on guns in recent years, as we all have probably noticed. On Thursday, I wrote about all the gun control laws that completely and totally failed to stop the shooting, but I missed one. It seems they have their own version of a red flag law on the books. That’s not really surprising, since they don’t see gun rights as actual rights anyway, but it appears that the killer in the Tumbler Ridge shooting had been “red-flagged.”And he got his guns back, which the police up there are now trying…
February 14, 1929, remains one of the bloodiest days in American crime history. Seven men lined up against a wall. Four men dressed as police officers. Two Thompson submachine guns, unleashing hell in a North Clark Street garage in Chicago. The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre shocked the nation and came to symbolize the savage violence of Prohibition-era gang warfare. What most people don’t know is that the guns used in America’s most notorious gangland slaying weren’t found in Chicago. They were discovered ten months later in a quiet Michigan town, following a traffic accident that would ultimately crack open the…
This article was originally published by Michel Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. The housing bubble that burst during the Great Recession was enormous, but it was nothing compared to what we are facing now. Two decades ago, the average price of a home in the United States was about $140,000. Today, the average price of a home in the United States is above $500,000. We have literally never seen anything even close to a housing bubble of this magnitude. Unfortunately, what comes up must eventually come down. Just like we witnessed during the Great Recession, home sales have started…
Alabama could soon join the handful of states that have adopted “tax-free holidays” on the purchase of firearms, ammunition, and some accessories. HB 360 has cleared its committee hurdles and could get a vote in the full House next week, and with 58 co-sponsors in the lower chamber it’s virtually guaranteed to be approved and head to the Senate. Under the bill, the purchase of ammunition, cartridge cases, primers, bullets, propellant powder, firearms, hunting supplies, archery equipment, firearm and archery accessories, hearing protection, holsters, belts, slings, and suppressors would all be exempt from the state’s…
Many people expected Attorney General Pam Bondi’s appearance before the House Judiciary Committee to become quite contentious. After all, Democrats were bound to attack her over the Epstein files, even though Joe Biden was president for four years and they didn’t seem to care much about the materials. And indeed, that did happen, as the hearing devolved into name-calling and finger-pointing between Bondi and Democrats on the committee. Epstein file theatrics aside, one question posed to Bondi during the hearing should be of interest to gun owners and Second Amendment advocates. That question came from Rep. Ben Cline, R-Virginia. In…
When a gun is pointed at you, you aren’t going to take the time to measure the barrel diameter to see if it’s a real gun or not. Especially with something like an airsoft gun, which has an 8mm barrel. Unless you can tell a millimeter difference at a glance, you’re going to take it as a real gun. Which means anyone pointing it at you, without you knowing it’s an airsoft gun due to context–you’re at a MilSim event where airsoft guns are used, for example–you’re going to take it seriously and act accordingly.So,…
