It’s been two weeks since the Third Circuit Court of Appeals struck down New Jersey’s ban on so-called assault weapons and large capacity magazines, but the appellate court has yet to issue its mandate that would allow for sales of those items to resume in the Garden State. New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport wants to keep that mandate on ice, and in a new court filing she’s asking the Third Circuit to allow the gun and magazine ban to remain in effect while the state appeals its loss to the Supreme Court. The State is…

Mercedes-Benz is recalling 310,000 vehicles, including many of its most popular models. In an impressive cascade of failures, a problem with the door locks could lead to the vehicle rolling away. Yes, that seems like a stretch, but it can happen. A door that can’t tell if it’s open or closed can lead to some other problems, too, that are less about safety and more about convenience. Corrosion In A Switch Can Lead To Problems Credit: Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-Benz says that in 2021 it started receiving reports of complaints that radios and lights would stay on after drivers got out of the…
When Montgomery County, Maryland recently amended its concealed carry laws to comply with a state Supreme Court decision, the county left in place some “sensitive areas” that are legally dubious, at least from a Second Amendment perspective. The county bans lawful carry within 100 yards of a “public assembly”, which includes parks, places of worship, schools, libraries, courthouses, legislative assemblies, recreational facilities, multipurpose exhibition facilities, and polling places. Though the state Supreme Court says that ban doesn’t conflict with Maryland’s constitution, a rabbi in Montgomery County has filed a lawsuit arguing the prohibition violates his right…

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered a sweeping review of the military justice and legal system, describing the effort as a push to eliminate bureaucracy and refocus military lawyers on combat effectiveness and operational readiness. The Pentagon announced in recent weeks that Hegseth directed a department-wide evaluation of military legal offices, including the Judge Advocate General’s Corps across the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Space Force. The review will examine how military legal functions are organized, whether responsibilities overlap unnecessarily, and whether some legal roles should shift from uniformed military lawyers to civilian personnel. Hegseth described the initiative…

When our Founding Fathers crafted the Bill of Rights, it was with the understanding that these weren’t rights being created by the state, but being expressly preserved in order to keep the fledgling nation from potentially falling into tyranny. They saw natural rights as something innate in people that they got by virtue of being human, handed down by God. No, they weren’t perfect in their application of this principle, as we’re all well aware, but the Second Amendment preserved the right to keep and bear arms for the people.However, for the most part, we’re…
World records were expected to fall like trees at the inaugural Enhanced Games as drug-fueled athletes chopped them down. Instead, what the Games might have unexpectedly proven is that training with performance-enhancing drugs doesn’t guarantee wins or world records. Out of 22 events, only one world record was broken. Kristian Gkolomeev, clad in a futuristic, Enhanced-designed super suit, touched the finish of the 50m freestyle race at 20.81 seconds — 0.07 seconds under the standing world record. The accomplishment won him $1 million in prize money. “It was a great race, I had a lot of fun,” Gkolomeev said in…
There’s few names more ubiquitous than Wesson when it comes to firearms. I had a chat with Eric Wesson — the grandson of Dan Wesson — and he talks about everything Wesson. While attending the 2026 National Rifle Association Annual Meeting, Wesson stopped by to discuss family history, Dan Wesson Arms, and of course Daniel Baird Wesson — whom Eric refers to as “D.B.” This interview was made possible by Beretta Holding, the sponsor of the Voices of the Second Amendment at the NRAAM.When it comes to firearms and American history, the two are intertwined…

FEMA is a somewhat controversial government agency. Some people love FEMA because they bring food and supplies after a disaster. Other people hate them because they don’t bring enough food and supplies after a disaster (or not quickly enough). Some people say FEMA is inefficient and a waste of tax money. Other people argue that they wouldn’t be so inefficient if they were properly funded. But whatever you think of FEMA, the people working there want you to be prepared. Why? Because the more prepared you are, the less you’ll rely on them for help when disaster strikes (and they…
Groups like Moms Demand Action–which sounds more like an adult film studio as opposed to a gun control group–present themselves as the American mothers’ political voice on guns and so-called gun violence. When they speak, the media often frames it as mothers calling for a particular bill to be passed. Like, say, Connecticut’s recently passed bill banning Glocks.The problem here is that they don’t speak for all mothers. A lot of mothers have very good reasons to disagree.On a bustling March day at the Capitol, Elizabeth Miller sat in front of a microphone to testify…
You know an HOA has gone too far when even people who normally ignore HOA drama suddenly start paying attention. This week, Colion Noir unloaded on a Florida homeowners association after residents in the Tradition community of Port St. Lucie received a letter announcing firearms were no longer allowed in common areas: including parks, trails, gazebos, and yes… the splash pad. Colion Noir gives his analysis of the Florida HOA gun ban. According to Noir’s breakdown, residents weren’t exactly thrilled to find out their carry rights had been quietly “updated” through a neighborhood letter instead of an actual public discussion.…
