The final numbers are in, and Canada’s gun “buyback” is officially a bust. The Liberals were predicting they’d collect about 136,000 now-banned firearms in their compensated confiscation scheme, but according to Public Safety Canada gun owners expressed interest in handing over just 67,000 guns.  Not every gun has been collected, by the way. The Liberal government imposed a March 31 deadline for gun owners to inform the government that they were willing to part with their firearms in exchange for some cash, but they don’t actually have to hand them over quite yet. Beginning this month,…

If you’ve been scrolling lately, you’ve probably seen it pop up again. That optic that basically won’t let you miss. Yeah, that one: The SMARTSHOOTER SMASH system is making the rounds on social media again, even though it was actually announced last year. And now that it’s back in the conversation, it’s worth taking a closer look at what the U.S. Army is actually getting. Because this isn’t just another red dot with fancy marketing. This is AI riding shotgun. Back in May 2025, SMARTSHOOTER announced a $13 million order from the U.S. Army for its SMASH 2000L fire control…

A cadre of gun-rights groups has filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court of the United States, urging the court to hear a case challenging a New York law that undermines the federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). On March 30, the National Rifle Association (NRA), the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), and the Independence Institute filed a brief in the case NSSF v. James, which challenges the continued filing of abusive public nuisance lawsuits against firearms manufacturers and dealers.  Although the PLCAA generally bars such claims, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the law, concluding…

Starting today, Massachusetts residents wanting to keep or carry a handgun have to navigate a whole new training curriculum, and some folks may find it difficult to find an instructor who’s been certified by the state to teach them.  Even though Chapter 135 was amended by Gov. Maura Healey to take immediate effect in the fall of 2024, the state almost immediately delayed implementation of many portions of the law, including the new training mandates. Healey’s move was designed to prevent the law from being put on hold while it’s challenged through a ballot initiative,…

The SAVE Act is a big piece of legislation that we’re not talking about much because, while it’s important, it has absolutely nothing to do with the Second Amendment. It’s about preventing voter fraud, which is important as hell, but it’s just not in our wheelhouse. Our sister sites, however, have been all over it and doing amazing work covering the bill, the attacks on the bill, and the stupidity being foisted on the American public under the ridiculous guise of being reasoned arguments. We talk about guns, gun rights, gun control, and things of…
