Short answer: No. The Daily Mail breathlessly reported on Monday evening that a new court filing by Tyler Robinson’s defense team claims the “bullet used to kill Charlie Kirk did NOT match rifle allegedly used” by Robinson. That, in turn, has prompted a flurry of posts from those who believe that Robinson is a patsy, and that Kirk’s “real” killer (or killers) are still at large.  If I understand Candace Owens’ theory correctly, Kirk was killed as part of a Freemason conspiracy connected to the French and Israeli government, perhaps directed by Brigitte Macron, the wife…

If you want to see where bad gun policy ends up, Colion Noir says don’t look at theory. Look north. In a new breakdown, Colion Noir walks through what’s unfolding in Canada. And it’s the kind of story that starts with “common sense” and ends with police at your door. Here’s the headline number: 98%. That’s how many Canadian gun owners reportedly refused to comply with the government’s latest firearm “buyback” program ahead of the March 31, 2026 deadline. And if you’re thinking that kind of rejection would make policymakers pause… Yeah, no. Instead, officials made it clear what comes…

If there are any gun control schemes more worthless than so-called gun “buybacks,” I’m not sure what they would be. Yet, anti-gun politicians love these events, mainly because they can make it look like they’re “doing something” about the “gun violence problem.” A great example is a recent “buyback” in the Aloha State. The Hawaii Department of Law Enforcement recently held a “buyback” event at Aloha Stadium and “recovered” 303 firearms from Oahu residents. Among the guns turned in were 17 semi-autos dubbed “assault rifles,” nine so-called “ghost guns” and two stolen firearms. Unsurprisingly, spectrumlocalnews.com provided a forum for politicians…

This article was originally published by Frank Shostak at The Mises Institute.  Some commentators are of the view that one cannot trust the market economy, which is seen as inherently unstable. If left free, the market economy could lead to self-destruction. Hence, there is a need for the government and the central bank to manage the economy. It is held, in this framework, that successful management could be achieved by influencing overall expenditure; it is expenditure that generates income. An expenditure by one individual becomes the income of another individual. Hence, the more that is spent, the higher the overall income…

I pushed off the top of Vail’s chair 4, eager to dive into North Rim’s steep fall line terrain blanketed with fresh 6 inches of powder — the terrain where I was sure Fischer’s new Nothings would thrive. I dropped from the upper headwall into a soft pillow of snow, slashing to scrub some speed before the terrain got more complicated. Then, bam. A big rock grabs my right ski and throws me off balance as I’m plunging downhill. On a stiffer, more demanding ski, my day might have ended right there. But I was on Fischer’s new, weirdly mysterious…

The attack at a Michigan synagogue hasn’t gotten quite the same attention as the attack at Old Dominion University at the bar in Austin, Texas. Part of that is because the only person who died in Michigan was the turd stain terrorist. It’s easy to chalk all of these up as lone wolf attacks, except that the FBI seems to suggest otherwise in the case of Michigan.Instead, they say he was directed by the notorious terrorist group Hezbollah.The man who targeted the largest Jewish Reform synagogue in Michigan earlier this month was directed by Iranian-backed…

Just when you thought the pistol brace mess was over, think again. According to a new update from Gun Owners of America (GOA), the federal government is still playing games with one of the most controversial gun rules in recent memory. And if you own a braced pistol, this is one you’ll want to pay attention to. Let’s rewind for a second. Pistol braces were originally approved by the ATF back in 2012 as a way to help disabled shooters (especially veterans) handle firearms more effectively. For years, they were perfectly legal, widely used, and openly sold. Then came the…

For more than a decade, the GearJunkie team has worn close to 50 different rain jackets in just about every name for precipitation. We’ve pulled together everything from jackets for bumping around town to the most ultralight shells for thru-hiking and even techy rainwear for trail running, cycling, and climbing. During testing, a team of wet-weather adventurers and I aimed for the worst weather windows to push these jackets to the limit in terms of waterproofing, livability, and rough-and-tumble durability. I paid close attention to performance over entire seasons, and if the weather failed to materialize, I wasn’t above busting…

Connecticut lawmakers are back at it. And, this time, they’ve got handguns in their sights. House Bill 5043, backed by Governor Ned Lamont, just cleared the Judiciary Committee and is now headed toward a potential floor vote. And depending on who you ask, this isn’t just another gun bill. It’s a direct shot at some of the most commonly owned pistols in America. According to the Connecticut Firearms Association, the bill is being pitched as a crackdown on so-called “convertible pistols.” Firearms that could be modified into fully automatic weapons. But here’s the issue. That’s already illegal. Converting a firearm…

Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadLife has a way of drifting off course in small steps. One day, everything feels normal. The next day, you’re thinking about current events, wondering why the world feels like it’s out of alignment. It’s rarely one big event. It’s the accumulation of little disruptions that stack up until things feel off. This is where routine can become not only a force multiplier, but in the right (or wrong) circumstances, a quiet lifesaver. I’m talking about the kind of personal routine, a simple rhythm that helps keep you on track when the rest of…
