The senseless shooting at a Rhode Island hockey rink on Monday afternoon was a targeted attack by a transgender man intent on killing his family, according to police. The suspect, who died at the scene after shooting his ex-wife and kids, had a history of conflict with his family over his gender identify, and an online profile believed to be that of the suspect is full of references to transgenders acting violently in response to discrimination or belittling comments. While some folks will want to pin the blame for the shooting on the fact that…
If you’ve spent any time around defensive training circles, you’ve heard it: most gunfights happen within 3 feet, in 3 seconds, with 3 shots fired. The so-called “3-3-3 rule.” On a recent episode of the Armed Attorneys podcast, the Texas-based legal team dug into whether that rule actually applies to civilian self-defense, and they didn’t just speculate. They pulled real case data from their own files. Quick aside: we like these guys. They’re knowledgeable, practical, and usually bring solid legal insight to the table. And this episode was no exception (see below). Where the 3-3-3 Rule Comes From The rule…
A measure introduced in the Missouri state Senate on February 9 is designed to protect the privacy of lawful gun owners and gun purchasers in the Show Me State. Senate Bill 216, the “Second Amendment Financial Privacy Act,” was introduced by Republican state Sen. Jill Carter and presented in the Senate Transportation, Infrastructure and Public Safety Committee. The measure would prohibit government entities from keeping a list, record or registry of privately-owned firearms. Records may be maintained during a criminal investigation and prosecution of gun ownership. It also bans credit card networks from using a merchant category code (MCC) to differentiate firearm sales…
United States senator and war hawk, Lindsey Graham, has said that Israel is at the forefront of cutting-edge weapons development. He said that future wars are already “being planned in Israel,” as it surpasses the U.S.’s abilities. Israel is advancing down the road of new weaponry far beyond us,” he added. Graham added that Washington should invest in Israel’s defense industry rather than “just writing a check” for military aid.“ He made these comments in Tel Aviv after meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leader Yair Lapid on Monday. “I like that idea. The wars of the future are…
A high school senior night in Rhode Island turned into chaos Monday when a gunman opened fire inside the Dennis M. Lynch Arena, killing two people and critically wounding three others before fatally shooting himself. According to on-scene coverage from WCVB, police say the suspect shot five people inside the rink. Two victims died, and three remain in critical condition. Players and families were bused to the Pawtucket Police Department for interviews as detectives began piecing together what happened. One woman leaving the police station identified the gunman as her father. “My father was a shooter… He shot my family.…
National Rifle Association members are navigating the conflict between the Association and NRA Foundation; the Friends of NRA Program is still on with funds going to other (c)(3)s. Earlier this year the National Rifle Association filed a lawsuit against the NRA Foundation. The NRA alleges that the Foundation is withholding crucial funds earmarked for NRA flagship programs. The NRA said that some programs — like ones benefiting law enforcement — were cut over 55 percent. NRA members and supporters have been worried about the state of the Friends of the NRA programs since this feud…
The Born Outdoor bedroll is a straightforward answer to a problem most backcountry hunters eventually face: sleeping comfortably without turning camp setup into a chore. Best of all, you sleep in it like a bed, not like a sleeping bag. Instead of separate pads, bags, and ground sheets, the Born Outdoor bedroll combines everything into a single, roll‑up sleep system that’s quick to deploy and easy to pack. Lay it out, unbuckle it, and you’re done. This is much faster than a roof-top tent and doesn’t cripple your vehicle when in use. Built for Real Ground This isn’t an ultralight…
Since 2022, animal rights activists in the state of Oregon have been attempting to rewrite laws regarding “animal abuse.” The proposed initiative would completely ban hunting, fishing, and other industries, in turn affecting the everyday lives of every Oregonian. All prior attempts have failed to make it onto the ballot. But this year, it’s gaining a bit more traction. Initiative Petition 28, also known as IP28 or the People for the Elimination of Animal Cruelty Exemptions (PEACE) Act, has real potential to be put up to a vote this year. It currently has nearly 82% of the required signatures to…
New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has repeatedly tried to convince the state legislature to adopt a semi-auto ban during her time in office, but has repeatedly failed in her quest. In her last year in office, though, it looks like Grisham’s gun ban goal is actually in reach, now that a sweeping semi-auto ban that also imposes a host of new regulations on gun dealers has passed out of committee and will likely soon hit the Senate floor. The Senate Judiciary Committee approved a substitute version of SB 17 on a party-line vote Wednesday…

NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) is preparing Ukraine for the politics of defeat. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte is said to have been designed to prepare Ukraine’s ruling class for tough compromises, including land concessions. Rutte arrived in Kiev and addressed the Ukrainian parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, urging the swift conclusion of a peace agreement with Russia while simultaneously promising the future deployment of foreign troops in Ukraine. This speech came on the eve of Rutte’s visit for renewed negotiations in Abu Dhabi. So far, the NATO chief has sent a strong and clear message to Ukraine: the conflict must move…
Democrats in Georgia are continuing to double down on unconstitutional gun control laws; this time, in the form of Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPO), or more commonly known as Red Flag Laws. This proposed legislative effort, sponsored by gun-grabbing Democrats, aims to introduce ERPOs in the state. Introduced to the Georgia General Assembly in 2025 and carried over into 2026, two companion bills SB-92 and HB-453 aim to create a legal mechanism to authorize courts to temporarily restrict firearm access for individuals deemed to pose a danger to themselves or others. These measures seek to intervene in potential crises involving gun violence, suicide, or threats, while incorporating due process protections. But does…
Pirro’s Blanket Threat Contradicts DOJ’s Own Supreme Court Arguments, Cato Scholar Says The top federal prosecutor for the District of Columbia has issued a stark warning that directly contradicts her own department’s legal positions and multiple Supreme Court precedents protecting the right to bear arms. In a Fox News interview Monday, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro delivered an unambiguous threat to gun owners nationwide: “You bring a gun into the District, you mark my words, you’re going to jail. I don’t care if you have a license in another district, and I don’t care if you’re a law-abiding gun owner somewhere…
This article was originally published by Connor O’Keeffe at The Mises Institute. On Friday, six weeks after a deadline that was reluctantly signed into law by Trump, the Department of Justice released over 3 million documents related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The drop caused a lot of discourse online over the weekend as journalists and investigators began poring through the documents. Because of the sheer scale of the information released, most of the early revelations have focused on easily-searchable names and organizations that appear in the files. Numerous public figures who claimed to have had little or no ties…
When I was in the Navy, as most people who served can attest, there were times when someone higher up the food chain needed volunteers for something, and you were told that you’d volunteered. As Navy stands for Never Again Volunteer Yourself, this happened to us fairly regularly. The term we used for this was “voluntold.” That’s what went through my head when I came across a piece talking about how the Canadian “buyback” of certain semi-automatic rifles, by which I mean most semi-automatic rifles, is framed as voluntary when it’s no such thing.I mean,…
