A recent ruling in a lawsuit challenging the federal ban on handgun purchase for 18-, 19-, and 20-year-old Americans found the law unconstitutional. Still, it limited the scope of the relief to the point that nearly nobody is protected from the law. The case Reese v. ATF, brought by the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), Louisiana Shooting Association, and three private citizens, sought to restore the Second Amendment rights of young adults. Instead, the ruling granting declaratory and injunctive relief was severely limited at the federal government’s request. “In drafting its judgment, the Court appears to have…
Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadPicture this: It’s New Year’s Eve. An Uber driver parks his car at a remote trailhead in L.A.’s Santa Monica Mountains. His phone pings a nearby cell tower. His Uber app logs his route, and he films a small fire he’s just started. Five months earlier, he asked an AI to create a dystopian image of a burning forest. Fast forward to October 2025, and that driver, Jonathan Rinderknecht, is arrested for starting the Palisades Fire—one of Los Angeles’ worst wildfires, killing 12 people and causing $150 billion in damages. How did authorities catch…

Reddit is one of those places that most everyone on the internet knows about, but a lot of people don’t actually visit. It’s been around for a while, though, and it’s one of those enduring websites that didn’t die out like so many others have through the years. After 20 years, one would think they’d be done making really stupid changes just to see what would stick, or anything else.However, it seems one would be wrong.After all, they’re removing subreddits that deal with buying and selling firearm accessories.Reddit this week moved to shut down several…

This article was originally published by Patrick Lewis at Natural News. On Oct. 8, Israeli forces intercepted a nine-boat flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, organized by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, about 120–150 nautical miles off Gaza’s coast. The flotilla carried doctors, journalists, and humanitarians, along with over $110,000 in medical and nutritional aid, which organizers say was intended for Gaza’s overwhelmed hospitals. Israel claimed the operation was legal under its naval blockade, asserting that the flotilla was attempting to enter a combat zone and would be processed and deported. Activists and human rights advocates claim Israel violated international law…

The cult classic Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR) Cooler Jacket — aka “The Sixer” — is finally back. After an 8-year hiatus, 686 teamed up with PBR to revive the beer-toting, style-dripping, fan-favorite winter jacket — with a built-in six-pack carrier that originally launched in 2017. The jacket is just one piece of a full PBR kit that 686 dropped on Oct. 9, 2025. This time around, 686 roped in French artist Lucas Beaufort to add some hand-drawn artistic panache. The result is a stylish red, white, and blue homage to the 180-year-old beer brand. That’s enough to make any on-mountain hipster…
WASHINGTON — Presidents Joe Biden and Yoon Suk Yeol on Wednesday will sign an agreement that includes plans to have U.S. nuclear-armed submarines dock in South Korea for the first time in more than 40 years, a conspicuous show of support to Seoul amid growing concern about nuclear threats by North Korea, according to senior Biden administration officials. The planned dock visits are a key element of what’s being dubbed the “Washington Declaration,” aimed at deterring North Korea from carrying out an attack on its neighbor. It is being unveiled as Biden is hosting Yoon for a state visit during…

While mostly focused on budget and appropriations matters, committee members asked the director a range of questions, including about the Final Rule defining stabilizing arm braces attached to pistols as short-barreled rifles (SBRs), the agency’s new “zero tolerance” policy, what constitutes “willful violations” by federal firearms licensees (FFL), suppressors, ATF form processing and tracing request backlogs, illegal firearm trafficking and more.

Longtime Second Amendment advocates may remember the name Loretta Weinberg, who was the architect of New Jersey’s original “smart gun” law that would have banned all “dumb guns” from being sold in the state once a “smart gun” came to market. Weinberg served in the New Jersey legislature for decades until her retirement in 2022, but though she’s no longer in office she’s still doing all she can to infringe on the rights of law-abiding residents of the Garden State, including rallying her fellow senior citizens to call for gun bans and other infringements at her nursing home earlier this…
KRAMATORSK, Ukraine — In the action movie “Tourist,” military instructors with the Russian mercenary group Wagner deploy to the Central African Republic and find themselves reluctant warriors against rebels and a corrupt ex-politician ahead of a presidential election. Then there’s “Granit,” another big-budget action flick whose title character, a grizzled but idealistic Russian military trainer, sacrifices himself to protect the southern African country of Mozambique from ISIS-style bandits. And in the more recent “Best in Hell,” Wagner fighters duke it out with an unnamed enemy — clearly meant to be Ukrainians — in an unspecified location that’s an obvious stand-in for the…
The crisis in the United States banking sector is not over yet. Moody’s Investor Services, one of America’s premier credit rating and analysis corporations, has issued downgrades for 11 regional investors. This development suggests that the recent bank failures have ushered in greater instability in the banking industry. The failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature draw attention to regional lenders’ weaknesses. According to The Wall Street Journal, Moody’s said strains in how banks manage their assets and liabilities are becoming “increasingly evident,” and are pressuring profitability. Recent events “have called into question whether some banks’ assumed high stability of deposits and their…
In a recent Rutgers study, research shows that those conservative individuals who were more reluctant to take precautions against COVID-19 were more likely to buy firearms in the buying frenzy of 2020. Further, groups who took more COVID precautions had a higher percentage of first-time gun buyers compared to groups who took fewer measures against illness during the same period. Of these groups, over 60% of gun purchases were to first-time buyers. The objective of the Rutgers study was to examine “the extent to which political beliefs and public health behaviors cluster together and define distinct groups of individuals and…
Posted in Bolt Action, Daily News, Rifles by with No CommentsTags: bolt action, Model 783, RemArms, Remington Back in 2013, RemArms introduced the new Model 783, a bolt-action rifle that was eventually driven to the bottom of the price list for Remington after the discontinuation of the Remington 770. In addition to the perception of the Model 783 being a “cheap” rifle and with everyone focusing their money elsewhere in the market (specifically a clamor for AR-15 rifles), the Model 783 really just didn’t sell well – something that Remington is attempting to change today with the reintroduction of the…
Iranian hackers broke into to a system used by a U.S. municipal government to publish election results in 2020 but were discovered by cyber soldiers operating abroad and kicked out before an attack could be launched, according to U.S. military and cybersecurity officials. The system involved in the previously undisclosed breach was not for casting or counting ballots, but rather was used to report unofficial election results on a public website. The breach was revealed during a presentation this week at the RSA Conference in San Francisco, which is focused on cybersecurity. Officials did not identify the local government that…
From the CCRKBA . . . Washington Democrat Gov. Jay Inslee signed legislation yesterday requiring gun buyers to provide proof they have completed a firearms training course before being allowed to complete their transaction, but the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is calling this the equivalence of a “literacy test” that was used to discourage voting by minorities in the South. “We’re talking about rights in both cases,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “For Jay Inslee or any other Democrat to contend ‘this is different’ suggests they’re either dishonest or delusional, and perhaps a little…
Florida resident Kristopher Ervin was arrested in early March 2021 as part of a joint operation by agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. (Yeah, that’s a thing.) Potential AR-15 auto-sears??? (Photo: Armslist) The ATF claimed Ervin sold auto sears — components used to convert semi-automatic AR-15s into rifles that are fully automatic and fully fun…but also illegal without the proper paperwork. So let’s take a look at this case. We’ll answer what an AutoKeyCard is, find out why the ATF is so upset over it, and break down similar cases.…

Debate in St. Paul lasted long into the night on Tuesday, and lawmakers will be back at it again today as the Democratic majority tries to get a “red flag” measure and a “universal” background check bill passed. Gov. Tim Walz publicly stumped for the legislation at a gun control rally on Tuesday, imploring lawmakers to adopt the measures in the name of public safety, while claiming the bills don’t infringe on anyone’s Second Amendment rights. ‘Every other industrialized nation in the world can find a way to keep their freedoms and not kill their children and their citizens,” Democratic Gov.…
