New York lawmakers are pushing a bill that could turn possession of digital gun files into a felony offense. The post New York Wants to Make Sharing a 3D Printer File a Felony — and Force “Censorware” Into Every Printer Sold appeared first on The Truth About Guns. Read the full article here
Fifty years ago, the gun control lobby’s position was that handguns should (and could) be banned without violating the Second Amendment, but they had no interest in going after “sporting” arms. Even today it’s not uncommon for anti-gun politicians to argue that nobody “needs” a particular firearm to hunt deer or turkey, which insinuates that they believe those guns are okay to possess, at least in limited circumstances. In court, however, the gun control lobby is making a very different argument. A supplemental brief was filed by the anti-gun amici in our lawsuit challenging the NFA, where…
Straw buys are illegal. If you buy a gun for someone when you know they can’t lawfully own one, that is a crime, and you may well end up in jail. If someone asks you to buy a gun for them, there’s a good chance they can’t do it themselves for a very good reason. Don’t do it. But there’s also profit to be made by buying guns for others. Because most criminals don’t care about the law, do care about money, and don’t think they’ll ever get caught because they’re too smart, you get…

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been quick to point the finger at Republican politicians when a high-profile shooting takes place in a red state, most recently blaming Louisiana lawmakers (and the gun lobby) for the mass shooting in Shreveport last weekend. Newsom hasn’t had much to say about the attempted shooting at the White House Correspondents Association dinner in D.C. last night, even though the suspect in the attack is a California resident who apparently was able to lawfully acquire the guns he used despite all of the Golden State’s gun control laws. Allen — who…
A bill introduced recently by two longtime anti-gun Democrat U.S. senators, both from Virginia, would export the Commonwealth’s recent tragic move toward a totalitarian state to the rest of the country. The measure, by U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine and U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, is even named the “Virginia Plan To Reduce Gun Violence,” a slap in the face to gun owners in Virginia and throughout the nation. As most readers know, Virginia passed a wide range of gun control bills this session, including a sweeping ban on common firearms and magazines, which is still awaiting legislative confirmation of Gov. Abigail…
At SHOT Show 2026, Henry Repeating Arms showed that even a classic can evolve without losing the plot. Henry’s rimfire lineup still revolves around the H1 .22 lever action, the company’s original bread-and-butter rifle. But instead of reinventing it, Henry took a modular approach: build new parts, mix and match configurations, and see what shooters actually gravitate toward. Waiting on pricing to be published on the Henry Repeating Arms website. The standout is the X Model .22, which borrows heavily from Henry’s centerfire X Model playbook and applies it to rimfire for the first time. Available in .22 LR and…
Earlier this year, I tested the new Leupold VX-5HD Gen 2 scope with a Ruger American Predator 18″ .308 rifle and premium ammunition, including the Barnes 130 grain TTSX. This past deer season put that setup to the test, and it delivered admirably. What started as careful preparation and range work culminated in a successful harvest of a mature 8-point buck, proving just how well modern solid-copper bullet technology performs when it matters most. A Quick Recap of the Rifle Setup For those who might have missed the initial review, here’s the rifle setup I was testing: Ruger American Predator…
As the pandemic backcountry boom fades to a distant memory, ski brands have been focused on making all-mountain skis that attempt to fill the “one-ski quiver” fallacy. This shift from specialization to versatility has driven the rollout of dozens of skis that can allegedly handle it all — groomers, variable conditions, park sessions, and off-piste terrain. If this sounds too good to be true, you’ve come to the right place. The latest 4FRNT Renegade bucks the trend, focusing on just one thing: maximizing powder turns. Let’s start with the obvious: Renegades are reverse camber (sometimes called full rocker), which, in…
2025 felt like the year of gun rights. We got some movement on the NFA, the repeal of Biden’s anti-gun executive orders, and the DOJ going after states and local governments that are stomping on our right to keep and bear arms. It was a good year for us, all things considered. This year has started off in the wrong direction with some very troubling comments from the White House and other administration officials.In Virginia, Gov. Abigail Spanberger and her fellow Democrats took control of both chambers of the legislature and the governor’s office and…
in Levi Sim, SHOT Show 2026 The Böker Plus Extension Knife is possibly the weirdest knife I’ve ever seen. It’s like the guys who made G.I. Joes and Transformers in the 1980s made a full-size blade. Designed by Hein, it appears to be a chunky, belt knife with a full tang 4.7″ clip point profile. What sets it apart is the extendable blade design. Press a button, and the handle flips end for end, doubling the exposed blade length. It’s more than meets the eye. Now it’s a kukuri-ish profile blade, 7.3″ long, and ready for all kinds of bushcraft…
An ex-Army soldier in Alabama has been sentenced to more than 20 years in a military prison after being convicted of killing a comrade during a fight in their barracks.Pvt. Brian Jones Jr., 24, pleaded guilty on Jan. 29 to one count of unpremeditated murder in the death of Pvt. Abdul N. Latifu, 21, of New York City. Jones, who was dishonorably discharged according to the Fort Rucker Public Affairs Office, will serve his sentence at the U.S. Army Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.The killing occurred on Jan. 10, 2023, with the case coming to a conclusion last Thursday…
Lindsey Vonn is holding onto her dream of competing in the Olympic Games one last time with an iron grip. On Friday, Jan. 30, the 41-year-old ski racer crashed during a World Cup race at Switzerland’s Crans-Montana resort. She was airlifted to a hospital. Doctors determined she had ruptured her ACL, bruised a bone, and had meniscal tears — all just 1 week ahead of the Milano–Cortina Games. But despite the seriousness of her injury, Vonn took to social media on Tuesday, Feb. 3, to let the world know she hasn’t given up. “After extensive consultations with doctors, intense therapy, physical…
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro attempted to do some damage control on social media Tuesday morning after her Monday comments on Fox News sparked a wave of criticism from Second Amendment organizations and supporters. Pirro didn’t walk back her statement that anyone bringing a gun into the District will go to jail, as well as her insistence that permit-holders from jurisdictions outside the District of Columbia would face charges for carrying in D.C., but she did try to clarify those remarks. Let me be clear: I am a proud supporter of the…
in Levi Sim, SHOT Show 2026 The BANISH 556 is a purpose‑built suppressor designed specifically for 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington rifles, with an emphasis on durability, heat tolerance, and reduced back pressure on AR‑pattern platforms. It is rated for full‑automatic fire, carries no barrel‑length restrictions, and is intended to hold up under sustained firing schedules. Design and Construction At its core is an additively manufactured Inconel baffle stack paired with a stainless‑steel blast chamber. This combination allows the suppressor to manage extreme heat while maintaining structural integrity over time. While the materials handle the heat, the internal geometry incorporates controlled‑flow technology…
United States President Donald Trump has denied being friends with Jeffrey Epstein, saying that, unlike the “crooked democrats,” he never went to the late financier’s island. Trump has also accused the late convicted sex offender of plotting against him. Last week, the US Department of Justice released the final batch of over 3 million pages, 2,000 videos, and 180,000 images under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, legislation signed by Trump in November. The law has compelled the agency to publish data tied to federal criminal investigations into Epstein’s dealings. Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Monday that “not only…
Climbing shoes are notoriously uncomfortable. The tight fit and aggressive shape help performance, but after a few hours of sport climbing in Illinois, my feet, toes, and heels are usually barking. Between climbs, when I was up to belay, I put on Teva’s ReEmber Camp Slipper. The wide toe box let my feet relax, and the plush cushion added support. It also performed when it counted. The tread helped me stay steady as I belayed my partner on uneven, rocky terrain. Later, when I got back to camp, I put on some thick wool socks and slipped into the Tevas.…
The phrase “politics makes strange bedfellows” is old. As in it was coined by William Shakespeare in The Tempest, from 1611. Like a lot of what The Bard wrote, it was insightful, simply because it’s true, even if no one put it in quite those words before. But it’s true, and we’ve all seen examples over the years where two people who normally wouldn’t stand together suddenly do so because of a common cause. A prime example was Rep. Ron Paul and Sen. Bernie Sanders–the libertarian and the socialist–joining forces to try to audit the…
