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…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. Update: • Shooter apprehended and taken into custody. Carrying shotgun, handgun and several knives. • The shooter has been identified as Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance California • No injuries to Trump or any guests. • Incident near lobby magnetometer screening. • Trump praised Secret Service rapid response.

Authorities confirm the suspected shooter has been apprehended and…
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…
In even the most gun-controlled states in the nation, you have the right to defend yourself from a violent attack. Most states, however, don’t allow for individuals to use deadly force when their lives or the lives of others aren’t being threatened. Texas is a notable exception. The law in the Lone Star State allows for deadly force to be used to stop the “imminent commission of arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime,” as well as to prevent a suspect from fleeing “immediately after committing burglary,…

A recent hit piece on ERPO repeal efforts shows exactly how the Bloomberg-funded outlet launders gun control talking points as journalism — and why gun owners should keep treating its output accordingly. Give Chip Brownlee this much: the man can write. His recent piece in the Trace on Republican states rolling back red flag laws is cleanly constructed, well-paced, and professionally edited. It’s also anti-gun propaganda from beginning to end. Those two things are not in tension — they’re the whole business model. The Trace bills itself as “the only newsroom dedicated to reporting on gun violence.” That line has…
Zero Compromise Optics debuts the ZC420 Hunter, a lighter and slimmer 4-20x scope redesigned for scabbards, packs, and real-world hunting. Weighing 20% less than the original ZC420, this optic punches way above its weight class. A Leaner Take on the ZC420 Zero Compromise Optics trimmed down its flagship 4-20x platform and aimed it squarely at hunters. The ZC420 Hunter drops weight by up to 20 percent compared to the original ZC420. That change comes from multiple small revisions rather than one big change. Everything that makes the ZC420 so amazing is still present in the ZC420 Hunter, though. Zero Compromise…

MDT DRT Chassis launches as a 3.2-pound magnesium hunting chassis built for night vision and thermal setups. Designed specifically for predator hunters, it targets weight creep from modern night-hunting gear. At SHOT Show 2026, MDT positions the DRT as a purpose-built solution rather than a crossover chassis. As a result, it focuses on strength, mounting stability, and field efficiency after dark. Built for Night Hunting from the Start SHOT Show always brings new ideas, but the MDT DRT Chassis feels targeted. Instead of adapting a competition chassis, MDT started fresh. The goal was clear. Night hunters keep adding gear, and…

LOWA’s story starts in Bavaria more than a century ago, and that heritage still defines how the company designs footwear today. These are boots and shoes built deliberately, meant to last, and, importantly, be serviced rather than discarded. In a market full of disposable footwear, LOWA still thinks long‑term. Tibet EVO 200 GTX Hi MSRP: $510 The Tibet EVO 200 GTX Hi is an 8‑inch, insulated mountain boot designed for cold‑weather work without becoming a sweat box. Instead of Thinsulate, LOWA uses PrimaLoft insulation, which performs more consistently across a wide temperature range and breathes better during high output. It’s…

Rideout Arsenal recently launched the Dragon pistol, a lever-delayed, modular 9mm with an ultra-low bore axis and fixed barrel aimed squarely at competition shooters. This pistol is what I imagined could be produced if you went to an engineer who had never seen a modern handgun and asked them to design one. And I mean this in the best way. A New Approach to Competition Pistols Rideout Arsenal doesn’t frame the Dragon as a duty gun or casual range toy. The company built it to go fast. The pistol uses a lever-delayed blowback system instead of gas operation, which reduces…
SHOT Show 2026 brought no shortage of medical gear, but the ReadyMed Hybrid stood out for its modular approach to concealed medical carry. I spoke with Jefferson at the Snakestaff booth to break down how this hybrid IFAK is designed to fit into everyday carry. A Modular Hybrid IFAK Platform The ReadyMed Pro is a hybrid IFAK built for both inside-the-waistband and outside-the-waistband use. The system allows the end user to configure a medical loadout based on comfort, environment, and personal preference. Inside the waistband, the kit can carry a magazine directly attached to the unit, along with medical tools…
Smith & Wesson trims the fat and tunes what matters. Better sights, a cleaner trigger, and the same pocketable J-frame footprint make this a smart carry refresh. Meet the Ultimate Carry J-Frame: One Core, Four Flavors Smith & Wesson’s Ultimate Carry J-Frame revolvers refine the classic snub nose with brighter sights and a smoother double-action pull while keeping the traditional J-frame format intact. Rather than building four completely different guns for these Lipsey’s Exclusives, S&W built one core revolver and offers it in two finishes and two calibers. Shared Features That Matter On The Street Every Ultimate Carry model uses:…
