Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is “fomenting hate” after calling for the Israeli ruler’s arrest. Mamdani has described Israel’s military campaign against Palestine as genocide and called the Israeli prime minister a “war criminal.” The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant in November 2024 over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in the enclave, including “starvation as a method of warfare” and “other inhumane acts.” Obviously, neither has been arrested, and Netanyahu and Gallant are still out committing the crimes they’ve been accused of.…
Oregon voters will not decide this November whether hunting, fishing, and many common agricultural practices should be treated as animal cruelty. The Oregon Elections Division announced that Initiative Petition 28 failed to collect enough valid signatures to qualify for the November 3 general election ballot. The campaign needed 117,173 valid signatures. State officials determined that 104,262 of the signatures submitted were valid, leaving the measure nearly 13,000 signatures short.

Last week on Bearing Arms’ Cam & Company I talked with firearms instructor Jackie Emslie about the 15th annual training event for women hosted by Legally Armed In Detroit, and I’m pleased to report that the event was a huge success. Founded by longtime Second Amendment advocate Rick Ector, the event has grown from about 100 women in its first year to more than 2,000 participants, most of whom have had little to no formal experience with firearms. The event, held at Recoil Firearms in Taylor, drew lines wrapped around the building as women of all experience…
While much of the 2A world has been focused on New Jersey’s assault weapon ban taking a major legal hit, Washington Gun Law President William Kirk says two more bans in the same federal appeals court may not be far behind. In a new video, Kirk explains why he believes assault weapon bans in Delaware and the U.S. Virgin Islands are now on shaky legal ground following the Third Circuit’s recent decision in Cheeseman v. Platkin (also referred to as ANJRPC v. Platkin). According to Kirk, the spotlight should especially be on the U.S. Virgin Islands, where the U.S. Department…

Do you want a physical challenge? What lifestyle do you want to live? Do you want to travel? Do you want to get your college degree? The answer to these questions may help you begin the process of choosing which branch of the military to join.

B&T USA is making a big investment in its American manufacturing footprint, and the company says customers should start seeing the benefits almost immediately. The firearms and suppressor manufacturer announced this week that it has significantly expanded its production facility in Herriman, Utah, transforming what was a small operation into a full-scale manufacturing hub in less than a year. The numbers tell the story. When B&T USA began upgrading the 88,000-square-foot facility in late 2025, the operation consisted of just three employees, two industrial 3-D printers and a single CNC machine. Today, the Utah location employs more than 55 people…
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s meeting with President Donald Trump on Tuesday is the first since the two leaders launched a joint war against Iran and marks a chance for Netanyahu to smooth out strains in their relationship. The meeting comes as both face growing pressures at home. Netanyahu is up for reelection and is embattled in part because of his deteriorating relationship with Trump. Trump is under pressure to end an unpopular war that has wreaked economic havoc and driven prices higher ahead of midterm elections this November. Trump revealed some tension with Netanyahu ahead of…
Police in Seattle believe that the shooting at last weekend’s Bite of Seattle food festival was gang related, though most of those who were shot were just innocent bystanders. Washington has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country, including a ban on “large capacity” magazines, universal background checks, and prohibitions on anyone younger than 21 purchasing or possessing a handgun. Despite those laws, authorities say a 15-year-old is one of several suspects in the shooting… and right now, the only one who is in custody. Police believe three suspects were involved in a shooting…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. Kuwait and Iran are barely separated by a small section of Iraqi coastline at the head of the Persian Gulf, but they do share a maritime border. But given the small oil-rich Sunni sheikdom’s close proximity to the Islamic Republic, and given its historic role in hosting American forces and bases, it is to be expected that it would be heavily targeted in Iranian military operations. Indeed, Kuwait, alongside the UAE, absorbed some of the biggest ballistic missile and drone attacks from Israel during the US-Israeli Operation Epic Fury. US…
Deep inside Olympic National Park in Washington state lies a near–century-old, log-cabin–style chalet. The building is the centerpiece of Enchanted Valley, a striking landscape of rivers, waterfalls, and jagged peaks. For all its beauty, this structure has endured a string of logistical and communication issues that reveal what happens when the National Park Service (NPS) faces the perfect storm of underfunding, overcrowding, and poor planning. The History of Enchanted Valley Chalet With the U.S. Forest Service’s permission, a recreation company built the 2.5-story building in 1931 and operated it as a lodge for 11 years. Enchanted Valley is deep within…
The last couple of years have been rough when it comes to politically motivated violence. Not only do we have the assassination attempts, both against President Donald Trump, but also the successful assassinations of Charlie Kirk and Melissa Hortman(allegedly), we also have the countless examples of less extreme violence, such as the vandalism of Teslas and Tesla dealerships. It’s bad, to say the least.It’s been bad before, though. In the 1960s, the nation saw the assassinations of President Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X. And according to Julian E. Zelizer at Foreign Policy,…
A quiet afternoon in Cambridge, Massachusetts turned into chaos when a gunman started firing into traffic and it ended with an armed citizen stepping in. According to ABC News, the suspect walked along Memorial Drive in broad daylight, firing what witnesses described as rapid shots from a semi-automatic rifle. Drivers ducked for cover, people ran, and at least two individuals in vehicles were struck by gunfire. Video from the scene shows the suspect moving erratically, pointing the rifle at passing cars, smashing a window with the barrel, and firing multiple rounds. “It was like rapid fire… pow pow pow,” one…
Confederate Army Lt. Henry S. Farley fired a single 10-inch mortar round from Fort Johnson on James Island, South Carolina, at 4:30 a.m. April 12, 1861. The shell arced across Charleston Harbor and burst over Fort Sumter, signaling 43 Confederate guns and mortars to open fire. The most deadly conflict in American history, a war that would last four years, kill more than 620,000 people and free 3.9 million from slavery, began with a bombardment in which not a single person died by enemy fire. The Standoff Fort Sumter sat on an artificial island at the mouth of Charleston Harbor.…
After fishing for nearly three decades, I only recently decided to start over and learn to fly fish. I never had the patience or determination before, but this time was different. The Pflueger President XT Fly Combo was shipped to my door because it was advertised as beginner-friendly and high-quality. I don’t want to buy a new fly combo every year because I break one; I want to buy a new one every year because I just want another one. Over the last several months, I’ve taken this 9’ #5 combo bass fishing, panfishing, and trout fishing in rivers and…
Toms River, New Jersey Mayor Daniel Rodrick calls the corner of Hooper Avenue and Fischer Boulevard an “eyesore,” and says he welcomes a multi-million dollar project to turn the land into a multi-use sports complex featuring everything from batting cages and pickleball courts to an indoor gun range. A former mayor who’s now the town historian, however, is crying foul over the development; particularly the proposed presence of a bar and lounge slated to be located above a driving range. Mark Mutter says he’s not opposed to gun ownership or even the idea of an…
Two of the biggest names in the firearms world just made a move and it’s a big one. Sturm, Ruger & Company and Beretta Holding have announced a strategic cooperation agreement that could reshape how these companies operate in the U.S. market moving forward. At the center of the deal is ownership. Beretta Holding, already Ruger’s largest shareholder, will now be allowed to increase its stake to as much as 25% of Ruger’s outstanding shares. That potential expansion comes with a premium baked in, with a minimum tender offer price set at $44.80 per share, roughly a 20% bump over…
WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faced tough questions Tuesday from Republican and Democratic lawmakers about the Trump administration’s end game for the Iran war, the conflict’s rising $29 billion cost and its impact on diminishing U.S. weapons stockpiles. While the Pentagon chief softened his tone from hearings before Congress nearly two weeks ago, notably avoiding the same pointed criticism of lawmakers, he got far more pushback from members of his own Republican Party about the levels of U.S. munitions used in the Iran war and President Donald Trump’s intense criticism of traditional allies for not taking part in…
There are currently seven candidates vying the GOP nod in the crowded Maine gubernatorial primaries. Bearing Arms had a chance to interview four of them and Ben Midgley was one. Midgley is a Maine businessman who’s gone from having nothing to being a CEO. “(I’ve) been on food stamps, been on the system, and then, you know, gratefully, have been very, very successful in my life, too,” Midgley admits candidly. Midgley grew up in Maine and after dropping out of college had a job cleaning gym equipment. Eventually he became the president of Planet Fitness…
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he is more worried about Iran successfully constructing a nuclear weapon than the rising costs being felt by millions of Americans due to the ongoing war in the Middle East. Trump, while preparing to leave Washington D.C. for Beijing and his highly anticipated one-on-one meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, was asked by a reporter on the White House South Lawn to what extent “Americans’ financial situations” were motivating him to make a deal with Iran. “Not even a little bit,” Trump told the journalist. “The only thing that matters when I’m talking about…
After declaring Iran’s recent peace proposal as a “piece of garbage,” United States President Donald Trump considers new strikes against Tehran. With the standoff ongoing, many fear that the war will reignite with new strikes. On Monday, Trump provided a glimpse into the dire state of diplomacy between the US and Iran, saying that “the ceasefire is on massive life support” while dismissing the recent peace proposal from Tehran as a “piece of garbage” that he said he “didn’t even finish reading.” CNN reported on Tuesday, citing sources, that Trump has grown “increasingly frustrated” with Iran’s handling of negotiations, while several US officials are questioning…
