Fresh off their closer-than-expected victory at the polls on Tuesday that allows them to gerrymander the state’s congressional districts and give them a 10-1 advantage, Virginia Democrats (and the Republican minority) return to the state capitol today to address bills vetoed or amended by Gov. Abigail Spanberger this session. That includes a number of gun control bills; most notably the ban on so-called “assault firearms” and “large capacity” magazines that Spanberger amended in such a way that simply carrying a pistol with a 17- or 20-round magazine will turn that lawful gun a firearm that’s…
There’s no doubt about it that Shreveport is a particularly disturbing rampage. It’s not just that this turdnugget killed eight children, but that they were primarily his kids, and that he traveled to try and kill them all before offing himself. For someone like this, the last step really should have been the first. He might have gotten some sympathy instead of making it clear he’s somewhere on a scale below toe jam. No one is going to say it’s not disturbing, either. Forbes is under fire at the moment, not for downplaying this in its…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream. This is the worst of times for U.S. farmers. Coming into 2026, we were already in the midst of the worst farming crisis in at least 50 years. Now the war in the Middle East has caused fertilizer prices to go absolutely haywire, and a historic drought has created nightmare conditions for farmers from coast to coast. What we are witnessing is truly unprecedented. One recent survey discovered that 70 percent of U.S. farmers won’t be able to afford all of the fertilizer that they need…

The gun-rights group Gun Owners of America (GOA) is blowing the whistle on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division for revealing sensitive tax and firearm information of a GOA member. According to an April 17 news release, GOA is asking the DOJ’s Office of the Inspector General to investigate what it calls a “a series of alarming breaches in which the government intentionally filed, on a public court docket, the sensitive tax returns of a GOA member, along with details of this person’s private firearm collection.” According to GOA,…
The truth of the matter is that so-called “ghost guns” exist in part because there is a point where something that isn’t a gun becomes a gun. Selling something that’s almost a gun, but not quite, isn’t exactly new. I first bought an AK receiver kit more than 20 years ago, along with a parts kit that would let me put together my very own AK. I loved that gun.Anyway, the whole “ghost gun” thing, at least when it comes to going after dealers, is premised on someone doing something wrong simply because they took…
I’m always on the lookout for coverage of defensive gun uses by local media outlets, so when I ran across a story from KXAN-TV in Austin, Texas headlined “Austin woman chases intruder out of home during ‘terrifying’ invasion,” I was definitely intrigued. The story itself is less about that encounter, though, than the less-than-satisfying response the victim of the home invasion received when she called 911 to report an intruder. It was last fall when Shayla Worley woke up and realized a stranger was in her home. KXAN doesn’t even really describe what Worley did, other than…
I’m already sick of talking about the shooting of Alex Pretti, and I’m coming around to hating just about everyone on either side of the debate right now. From the anti-gun side suddenly defending the Second Amendment to people who should know better suddenly sounding like deranged anti-gunners, I’m finding it hard not to just hate everyone except for a select few people. It’s quite the juxtaposition to where I was in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.It’s also darkly ironic that an old post of Kirk’s on X appears to be getting a lot…
in Riley Baxter, SHOT Show 2026 The Kimber 2K11 Comp pistols pair a ported bull barrel, carbon-fiber grip module, and optics-ready slide to deliver flatter shooting in a 2011-style platform. First Shots at SHOT Show 2026 Range Day We got hands-on with the new Kimber 2K11 Comp lineup during SHOT Show 2026 Industry Day at the Range. Kimber builds these pistols off the standard 2K11, then adds a compensator and competition-focused features. The standout change is the forward barrel port. Kimber machines a large compensator port at the muzzle to vent gas upward. That design keeps the gun flatter during…
I’ve been hooked since the moment I hopped on my first e-bike. It didn’t take long to realize that I needed a rack that could handle the extra pounds. That’s why I decided to test the new Küat Piston Ion. This beefed-up hitch bike rack offers premium security. It’s two-bike compatible and can securely hold everything from heavy e-bikes to lightweight pedal bikes. It also has an easy-to-use ramp to assist with loading. While the Piston Ion is worth the chunk of change, it’s pricey. But from my perspective, I’d already shelled out the money for an electric investment in happiness. It’s important…
Palmetto State Armory used SHOT Show 2026 to release the AXR PDW, a compact 9mm platform within its broader AXR series. The design centers on PSA’s MFC (modular fire control), the serialized core of the firearm, which moves between different configurations. That approach allows the same MFC to transition from a handgun to a PDW setup without buying a second serialized component. AXR Series and the Shared MFC The AXR PDW uses the same MFC found in the AXR handgun lineup. PSA positions the MFC as the foundation of the system. Users can transfer it between a full-size pistol, a…

Virginia is the epitome of a swing state, at least over the last few years. From far left Democrats to conservative Republicans and back again, the state seems to swing like an unlatched screen door in a hurricane. Now the state has gone from Glenn Youngkin to Abigail Spanberger, and with her comes a litany of anti-gun proposals that Democrats in the Old Dominion State have long wanted to implement.And as NRA executive director John Commerford notes, this marks a change in the Second Amendment in Virginia.Perhaps no state is more steeped in America’s constitutional…
The Tango Innovations FCS is an integrated 2–10x scope that combines a laser, IR illuminator, and onboard ballistic solver in one unit. It merges optic, ranging, and laser functions into a fairly compact system designed to reduce rail clutter. The FCS, or Fire Control System, targets shooters who want speed, data, and simplicity without stacking multiple devices. Instead of bridging accessories, everything lives inside a single housing. Tango built the FCS around a native 2–10x optic with 0.2 MRAD adjustments. The system integrates a miniaturized laser derived from the Fire 4000, and pairs it with an IR pointer and flood…
Roughly 48 hours after the fatal shooting of a Department of Veterans Affairs nurse by U.S. Border Patrol sparked larger protests across Minnesota, lawmakers, pundits and Americans of various political persuasion are commenting on whether current immigration policies are being facilitated as intended or if they have gone overboard.Details continue to emerge regarding the fatal shooting death of 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an intensive care unit (ICU) nurse at the VA in Minnesota, by one or more U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, Minn. The Jan. 24 shooting, which was caught in different fragments by civilian bystanders and posted…
The price of silver is surging as the demand for physical metals ramps up. The United States Mint raised silver coin prices by 85% (from $91 to $169), anticipating silver could soon exceed $100/oz, reflecting institutional expectations of a historic price explosion. According to a report by Natural News, some global entities have attempted to depress the price of silver. Despite years of alleged manipulation by JP Morgan and China to artificially depress silver prices, the metal has broken through $30/oz, with spot prices now near $93.52, proving paper-market controls are collapsing as demand for physical silver surges. Silver Price…
In the waning light on a chilly Wyoming evening, I lowered my head to the ZEISS Conquest V4 4-16X44 Riflescope, took aim at a distant target, and fired. “GONG!” That’s a hit. I adjusted my elevation turret more and took aim at a 600-yard target. “GONG!” Another hit. I smiled and got up from my seat. After only a few shots with the loaner rifle and scope I was given for this hunt, I felt confident. I hadn’t missed a single target. Over the next few days, I’d have the opportunity to build that confidence further, chasing coyotes on the…
After a weekend that saw a number of Trump administration officials arguing that carrying guns to protests is illegal or suggesting that carrying two magazines is a sign of nefarious intent, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt on Monday reiterated President Donald Trump’s support for the Second Amendment during her daily briefing. .@PressSec: “@POTUS supports the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding American citizens—absolutely… while Americans have a constitutional right to bear Arms, Americans do not have a constitutional right to impede lawful immigration enforcement operations.” pic.twitter.com/RUTna6A0e5— Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) January 26, 2026″The President supports the…
