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…

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.

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 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.

Steven Spielberg participated in a master class at the Time 100 Summit and announced he regrets editing guns out of “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.” The film’s 1982 theatrical cut includes a scene of officers chasing young kids with firearms. Spielberg edited the guns out for the 20th anniversary release of the film and replaced the firearms with walkie talkies. “That was a mistake,” Spielberg said. “I never should have done that. ‘E.T.’ is a product of its era. No film should be revised based on the lenses we now are, either voluntarily, or being forced to peer through.” “‘E.T.’ was a film that I…
The World Health Organization has warned of a possible “biological risk” after Sudanese fighters took over the National Public Health Laboratory in the capital Khartoum. Violent clashes erupted between the Sudanese military and the Rapid Support Forces, the paramilitary group battling the army over who gets to control the masses, in the northern part of Khartoum state. Many foreign nations made efforts for rapid evacuation of people from the country as violence marred a fragile United States-brokered ceasefire. Gunfire and the roar of fighter jets were heard in Khartoum on Tuesday, half a day after the announcement of a 72-hour truce…
The term “mass shooting” is one popular phrase for describing a certain kind of incident, but another term often used is “active shooter incident.” And we’ve been hearing all about just how many such shootings there have been, with numbers muddied by overly broad definitions that include things that shouldn’t be included. That’s just for mass shootings, though. Gang shootings tend not to be lumped in with active shooter cases, and for good reason. They’re not remotely the same. And it seems such shootings decreased in 2022. Active shooter incidents in the United States in 2022 decreased, while the number…

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — An Iranian court issued a $312.9 million judgment against the United States over a 2017 Islamic State-claimed attack on Tehran, authorities said Wednesday, the latest judicial action between the nations amid their decadeslong enmity. Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency, in reporting the decision, offered no direct evidence to support the court’s allegation that American officials had any part in the June 2017 attack that killed at least 18 people and wounded 50 others. The assault saw gunmen attack Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s mausoleum and the country’s parliament, starting an hourslong siege. However, the court ruling comes…
