There are very strict laws on the exportation of guns to other countries. You can’t just buy a firearm, put it in a box, and shipping to someplace like Haiti. Even if you buy the gun in a lawful manner, you just can’t do that without jumping through a ton of hoops. However, it seems that Business Insider–a publication that doesn’t seem to talk all that much about business these days–just discovered that criminals break the law when it comes to guns. Loose gun regulations in the United States have turned the country into a gold mine for weapons traffickers,…

Russia’s ground forces have been damaged by the war in Ukraine, but many other elements of its military have remained unscathed, the general in charge of U.S. forces in Europe said Wednesday. In particular, Gen. Christopher Cavoli, the head of U.S. European Command, pointed to Russia’s submarine force, which he said has been exceptionally active in the Atlantic Ocean in recent years despite that country’s struggles in Ukraine. “Much of the Russian military has not been affected negatively by this conflict. One of those forces is their undersea forces,” Cavoli said at a House Armed Services Committee hearing in response…

The NRA convention is not only a great opportunity for Gun Nation to ogle, fondle, and shop acres of firearms and related gear, it’s also a happy hunting ground for photographers looking to get lots of great photos of people of all ages who are doing those things. As you might imagine, lots of those photos are later used by the corporate media and others to illustrate their stories about crime, mass shootings, the allegedly deplorable easy access Americans have to firearms, yadda, yadda, yadda. One of the photos taken in Indianapolis by Reuters’ Evelyn Hockstein has resulted in enough…

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned that the United States is facing an “economic catastrophe” if the ruling class waits “until the last minute” to raise the debt ceiling. A default on the nation’s debt would be “disastrous,” according to Yellen. During a meeting with business executives from California on Tuesday, Yellen warned that a default would result in job losses and push household payments on mortgages and credit cards higher. The Treasury secretary insisted it was a “basic responsibility” of Congress to increase or suspend the $31.4 trillion borrowing cap. “A default on our debt would produce an economic and financial…

The last time FASTER Colorado’s founder Laura Carno joined us on Bearing Arms’ Cam & Co it was shortly after the shootings at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, and Carno told us that the horrific incident had prompted a number of school districts around the state to reach out and learn more about their training for armed school staff. On today’s program, Carno tells Bearing Arms that the recent shootings at Covenant School in Nashville has resulted in an even larger surge in demand for FASTER Colorado’s services, with about three times as many districts reaching out over the past…

By Larry Keane Michigan lawmakers – including Gov. Gretchen Whitmer – are toying with the idea of turning state courtrooms into political arenas for gun control instead of forcing criminals to stand before judges for their crimes. State legislators are considering introducing a bill that would allow victim families to sue firearm manufacturers, distributors and retailers for the heinous crimes committed by criminals. Let’s say that again so it is clear. Michigan’s legislators want to allow lawsuits against the firearm industry for crimes they didn’t commit. There’s no talk about dragging murderers, thugs, gang members and other criminals into courts to face a judge…

WASHINGTON — The remains of a U.S. Army corporal killed during the Korean War have been identified 73 years after he was declared missing and was awarded the Medal of Honor for bravery, U.S. and South Korean officials said Wednesday. Luther H. Story of Buena Vista, Georgia, was posthumously awarded the nation’s highest military award for his actions during an intense attack by the North Korean army on Sept. 1, 1950. U.S. officials said that Story “fearlessly stood in the middle of the road, throwing grenades into the truck. Out of grenades, he crawled to his squad, gathered up additional…

Southern Baptists have long been held to be among the most politically conservative Christians in the nation. While many religious denominations seem to be rolling left, it looked like Southern Baptists weren’t interested in doing the same. And yet, it now seems that the head of a commission within the organization and other Baptist leaders have come out in favor of gun control. The head of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission and 12 other Baptist leaders and pastors in Tennessee have urged state lawmakers to take action to help prevent further gun violence after last month’s…

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.
