The United States Supreme Court has become an epicenter of disappointment for Americans seeking to restore and defend Second Amendment rights stolen from us by the very government our Founders predicted and tried to protect us from when drafting the Constitution. Monday came and went without exception, as Justices once again informed the public that they would not defend gun rights by denying certiorari in Viramontes v. Cook County, an Illinois-based challenge to a county-wide prohibition on the possession, acquisition, and transfer of a variety of firearms, including specific semiautomatic rifles like the AR-15. Known as the Blair Holt Assault…
The Department of Justice’s new Second Amendment Section of the Civil Rights Division has taken its first official act to defend the right of the people to keep and bear arms, and the section’s attorneys are taking aim at the gun licensing regime in the territory of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Justice Department Sues the Virgin Islands Police Department for Unconstitutional Practices Resulting in Effective Denials of Gun Permits“This Civil Rights Division will protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens,” said @AAGDhillon. “The newly-established… pic.twitter.com/ai8M1t7Fqh— DOJ Civil Rights Division (@CivilRights) December 16, 2025In its…
I’ve got a few friends over in Austria who are a rare breed of hardcore collectors. Ironically enough, most of them aren’t even interested in Glock pistols and are instead after old Soviet, British, Italian, and even American collector firearms. One such friend, Sebastian, has a notable “hater” of Glocks but has somehow found himself the proud owner of an extremely rare factory-engraved Generation 2 Glock 19. According to Sebastian, he acquired this Glock in a private transfer through some contacts he had made through the industry, but it also seems that there was a heavy amount of luck involved…
From collaborations with high-fashion brands to apparel made with graphene and Kevlar, there were plenty of cutting-edge gear innovations this year. However, sometimes innovation comes from rethinking the simplest things. Take, for example, the humble water bottle. In 2025, creative advancements have helped replace one of backpacking’s most ubiquitous pieces of gear: the disposable Smartwater bottle. Thru-hikers have long loved this simple $2 water bottle for its easy storage and ultralight profile. Pick any popular long-distance trail, and you’re bound to see a handful of Smartwater bottles tucked into hikers’ packs. However, the arrival of more sustainable alternatives may finally…
With the twin tragedies in Rhode Island and Australia, anti-gunners on both sides of the planet are chomping at the bit to push for extensive gun control measures. They’ll ignore that the gun control laws put in place previously failed to work, more or less, and instead demand we double down on what failed. This is a script as old as time, it seems. We all know how it plays out. We’ve seen in a thousand times at least.But Rep. Ro Khanna is the latest to try to beat this particular drum.Khanna said, “It’s just…
As accused killer Tyler Robinson’s secret trial begins, Candace Owens and Erika Kirk sit down to meet with each other over “conspiracy theories” about the death of Charlie Kirk. The psychological operation, or psyop, continues as this situation gets more and more strange. The MAGA (Make America Great Again) crowd has become split, as Owens shares increasingly difficult-to-prove claims about Kirk’s assassination and life before his death, while his widow, Erika Kirk, toes the line and props up the official narrative. Erika Kirk, the widow of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk, announced on Sunday night that she will be “privately”…
The United States has wargamed Venezuela ruler Nicolas Maduro’s fall from power, and none of the scenarios are “good” for Venezuelan civilians. All of the wargames ended in violence and bloody power struggles. This is not a huge surprise. In the absence of power, and as long as humans believe they should be ruled, others will fight to be the ruler. A war with Venezuela will only increase the amount of violence and death, even though the U.S. continues to claim it’s all about “narco terrorism,” and not regime change. The three scenarios that the U.S. decided to war game…
A law firm has filed seven legal complaints against the U.S. Army and Pentagon, one for each of seven victims sexually abused or non-consensually videotaped by a doctor at Fort Hood.The U.S. Army Office of Special Trial Counsel (OSTC) on Dec. 9 announced that it had preferred four charges and 61 specifications against Maj. Blaine McGraw, 47, an obstetrician gynecologist who was assigned to the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center located in Fort Hood, Texas. The OSTC conducts independent oversight and prosecution of murder, sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse, kidnapping and other serious criminal offenses.McGraw is charged with…
Minnesota governor and failed vice presidential candidate Tim Walz is fed up with Republican lawmakers’ opposition to all the gun control schemes he wants to see passed in the North Star State. In fact, he’s so fed up that he’s now threatening to unilaterally make his own laws through executive action, despite the fact that such shenanigans would almost certainly run counter to the law. At a press conference last week, Walz said he is preparing to take “incredibly aggressive executive action” on gun control proposals because of what he called “stonewalling” by Republicans in the legislature, according to a…
The shooting at Bondi Beach, a suburb of Sydney, has a lot of people rattled, and not without some reason. It was a brutal attack that was far worse than many we’ve seen here in the United States, which involved the evil and vicious AR-15, which some people seem to miss. Regardless, it was a bad shooting by any metric you care to use. Yet Australia has a ton of gun control laws on the books. They passed them in the wake of the Port Arthur massacre, and a lot of people here have pointed…
Congress has reopened a high-stakes fight over whether U.S. intelligence agencies should be allowed to search Americans’ communications without a warrant, with some lawmakers scrutinizing sweeping surveillance powers long criticized for pushing constitutional limits.Four witnesses testified during a hearing on Thursday, Dec. 11, in front of the House Judiciary Committee, encouraging federal lawmakers to take a stronger stand on Americans’ privacy by setting stricter requirements on government searches under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).Section 702 of FISA allows U.S. intelligence agencies to collect communications of foreign targets overseas without individual warrants, while also permitting later searches…
Dude Perfect turned backyard stunts into an international YouTube sensation. The brand’s newest move, Dude Perfect Outdoors, shifts the focus to hunting, fishing, and time outside. The first video of this new standalone vertical launched over the weekend, a product of careful thought and planning by the creators. “We launched the first video for our newest vertical: Dude Perfect Outdoors. This has been a passion project for a select few; almost three years in the making, and the last six months of grinding to get it over the line,” producer Chad Terrell said in announcing the project.

Did Charlie Kirk justify his assassination by supporting the right to keep and bear arms. According to F=former CNN anchor Don Lemon and a liberal podcaster who featured him as a guest on a recent episode, yes. As Mediaite reports, Lemon was interviewed on the I’ve Had It podcast by co-host Jennifer Welch on a recent episode, and Welch brought up Kirk’s murder and Erika Kirk’s recent sit-down with CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss. Before sharing their thoughts, Welch played a clip of new CBS News boss Bari Weiss interviewing Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk earlier this…
If you’ve spent any time shooting suppressed, you’ve probably noticed something odd about that first shot after threading on your can. Instead of the consistent muffled thump you expect from subsequent rounds, the initial shot often carries a sharper, louder crack. This phenomenon has a name: first round pop, commonly abbreviated as FRP in suppressor circles. Understanding the Chemistry Behind First Round Pop First-round pop stems from basic chemistry and physics interacting within your suppressor. When you attach a can to your muzzle, the internal volume fills with ambient air containing approximately 21% oxygen. That first shot sends superheated propellant…

In the wake of both the Brown University shooting and what happened at a beach at Bondi Beach in Australia are, without a doubt, terrible. At a time like this, it would be easy to focus on these two awful occurrences. It’s easy to deflect the discussion of various bills, saying that now isn’t the time for such things. Like, say, national reciprocity.However, the wheels of politics don’t stop on a dime, and an op-ed that was likely written well before the attack at Brown University actually has a lot more relevance today than some…
Colion Noir is pushing back on the gun control narrative following a deadly mass shooting in Australia. He points to the attack as evidence that bans don’t stop determined evil. According to authorities, two gunmen opened fire during a Jewish community celebration marking the first night of Hanukkah near Sydney’s Bondi Beach. At least 15 people were killed. One attacker was killed during the incident, another was taken into custody in critical condition, and investigators are now looking into whether a third individual may have been involved. Australian officials labeled the attack terrorism. The shooters reportedly used long guns, and…
At least 15 people were killed after a mass shooting during a Hanukkah event at Australia’s Bondi Beach in Sydney on Sunday. Officials in Australia are vowing to further tighten the country’s already strict gun laws after what they said was a terrorist attack targeting Jewish people celebrating Hanukkah. On Sunday, December 14th, at 18:47 local time (07:47 GMT), police received reports that shots had been fired at a park in Bondi Beach. Footage verified by the BBC appears to show two gunmen firing from a small bridge near a car park on Campbell Parade, on the northern end of Bondi…
A New Jersey man’s firearms and permits were confiscated by authorities after a weird series of events and possible malfeasance. After filing suit, his oppressors indicate they want to settle. Elsid Aliaj had his firearms confiscated by the Fort Lee, N.J. police department. After an event that had to do with his wife and a miscommunication at a hospital, Aliaj ended up having his firearms and firearms identification card confiscated. The case is beyond strange and in the time since the lawsuit was filed, both the Bergen County Prosecutor’s office and Fort Lee Police Department…
Wall Street Journal reporter Mark Maremont is once again targeting Americans who lawfully carry concealed handguns. His latest article, “The Innocent Bystanders Caught in Deadly Crossfire of Self-Defense Shootings,” claims that legally armed civilians are putting innocent people at risk during self-defense encounters. According to research compiled by John R. Lott Jr., president of the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), the evidence does not support that conclusion. Maremont cites four incidents from 2022 to the present in which he claims concealed carry permit holders accidentally shot bystanders while defending themselves. However, Lott’s review of those cases shows that only two…
WASHINGTON (AP) — The two Iowa National Guard members killed in a weekend attack that the U.S. military blamed on the Islamic State group in Syria were identified Monday. The U.S. Army named them as Sgt. Edgar Brian Torres-Tovar, 25, of Des Moines, and Sgt. William Nathaniel Howard, 29, of Marshalltown. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds ordered all flags in Iowa to fly at half-staff in their honor, saying that, “We are grateful for their service and deeply mourn their loss.” The Pentagon’s chief spokesman, Sean Parnell, has said a civilian working as a U.S. interpreter also was killed. Three other…
