On Jan 20., 2025, President Trump issued an executive order that could profoundly affect public lands. “Unleashing American Energy” mandated that the government explore energy production on federal land to achieve American energy independence. A few months later, he issued another order. “Immediate Measures to Increase American Mineral Production” directed the Department of the Interior (DOI) to prioritize energy and mineral production on federal lands. Since those orders, the federal government has sought to economically develop national monuments, wildlife refuges, and wilderness areas, sparking backlash. A recent report from The Wilderness Society (TWS), a conservation nonprofit, identified the landscapes most…

While actual numbers are hard to find for the number of 3D printers in the United States, we do know that the lion’s share of them are sold in the United States, with millions sold each year internationally. That means there are easily a few million 3D printers in private hands. While many of those devices will never make a firearm, many others do. And in most parts of the country, it’s perfectly legal to do so for private use. To sell them, you need the appropriate licenses from the ATF, but even then, it’s…

United States ruler Donald Trump said that the U.S. military could seize Kharg Island on Monday, even as Iran has allowed twenty American oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump shared a video on Truth Social on Monday showing a military strike in Iran at night. Kharg Island is home to a major oil terminal that is considered the country’s economic lifeline. In an interview with the Financial Times, as reported by The BBC on Sunday, Trump said he wants to “take” Iran’s oil and was considering seizing Kharg Island. But he added an operation “would mean we had to…

I used an early version of the Sawyer Squeeze water filter during a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail, and while it filtered admirably until the end, one thing was immediately clear: the original foil “squeeze” bladders were junk. They filled hiker boxes throughout southern California, all presumably pinholed and binned in favor of other solutions. The fix many settled on was to pivot to a soft TPU bladder, like the CNOC Vecto, which didn’t collect holes and was much easier to scoop from shallow sources thanks to its wide-mouth opening. Sawyer noticed, and now the Squeeze filter is available with…

On Tuesday, the Daily Mail really stepped in it with its so-called reporting on the bullet that killed Charlie Kirk. It was an absolute trainwreck of misinformation, much of which was based on a complete lack of understanding about bullet matching. Cam covered the story for Bearing Arms. I wrote about it at our sister site, Townhall. In short, the whole thing was stupid and wrong.But hey, don’t take our word for it. Instead, listen to the other folks who spoke with Fox News about it.Some reporting on the filing misinterprets the result of the bullet…

Images by the author Ahh… 1964. I remember it well. The Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan show for the first time on February 9th, four days before my 12th birthday, and I had never seen anything like them… America was still in mourning after the JFK assassination the previous November… the Civil Rights Act was passed in July… Vietnam was escalating… and Ruger introduced its iconic .22 semi-auto rifle, the 10/22. The autoloading 10/22 came about when bolt-action rifles were a thing… There had been semi-autos, of course, but the Ruger captured shooters’ collective attention when it was unveiled.…

Most of tend to think of soft-on-crime judges and prosecutors as a blue state phenomenon, but the truth is that these ideologues can be found in even the most crimson of red states. The damage done by allowing violent felons to quickly return to the streets after a slap on the wrist is incalculable, but it certainly appears like this philosophy is at least partly to blame for the death of a Louisiana man. The shooting death happened on Monday night, and in addition to the fatality two other individuals were wounded. Authorities have arrested…

I’m a history buff, but there’s an awful lot of history out there, and absolutely no one knows all of it. Not only are the historians constantly learning new stuff, but there are a lot of things people just don’t bring up that often, so regular schmucks like me don’t pick up on it unless we are actually searching something out. So, I appreciate Ammoland’s Dean Weingarten teaching me a little something about FDR’s time.My school textbooks were all about the Great Depression and World War II when talking about that particular Roosevelt. It didn’t…

This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News.  Trump’s Newfound ‘Peace’ is a Desperate, Empty Ploy I believe we are witnessing the final, gasping act of a failed presidency. Just this week, after weeks of a brutal, unnecessary war launched jointly with Israel against Iran, Donald Trump has suddenly begun speaking of ‘very good and productive conversations’ for a ‘complete and total resolution’ of hostilities [1]. To anyone paying attention, this is not diplomacy; it is a panicked, face-saving maneuver by a leader who has catastrophically miscalculated. The media’s eager framing of potential talks is a narrative designed…

Just when you thought the water bottle craze had died down, here comes something completely different. First, YETI made every tumbler heavier than a tire iron. Then, VSCO girls and their Hydro Flasks turned bottles into fashion accessories. And most recently, everyone went bananas for Stanley’s Quencher because it had a straw in it. But right when things started to mellow out, an email pops into my inbox with the subject, “Introducing the Ferrari of water bottles!” OKAPA, a California-based startup, justifies the claim with a combination of precision engineering and superior materials — of course, the $300 price tag is…
