Ruger is officially done calling Connecticut home. According to reporting from Hartford Business Journal, Sturm, Ruger & Co. quietly moved its corporate headquarters from Connecticut to Mayodan, North Carolina at the start of 2026, marking the end of an era for one of America’s most recognizable gunmakers. The move apparently flew under the radar for months. Ruger didn’t make a huge public announcement about it, but sharp-eyed industry watchers noticed recent company press releases started carrying a North Carolina dateline instead of Connecticut. That was the clue. A company spokesperson confirmed the relocation became official on Jan. 1. Ruger still…
HALIFAX, N.C. (AP) — With 165 grains of black powder in the barrel, a .75-caliber Brown Bess flintlock musket like the ones the redcoats carried in 1776 can hurl a lead ball at a velocity of around 1,000 feet (305 meters) per second. Imagine what that can do to a human body. Now, imagine that it’s almost completely exempt from gun regulations. How can that be? Well, under federal and most state laws, many antique or replica guns aren’t technically considered firearms. In most places, even convicted felons can own them. “I suspect the average judge would be surprised to…
A constitutional carry bill that would eliminate Pennsylvania’s concealed firearm permit requirement cleared the state Senate Judiciary Committee on May 6, advancing to the full Senate as supporters press for a floor vote. Senate Bill 357 would allow lawful Pennsylvania gun owners to carry a concealed firearm without obtaining a License to Carry Firearms (LTCF) or paying the associated fee. The bill keeps the LTCF available as an optional license for residents who want reciprocity when traveling to states that require a permit. It does not change who is legally prohibited from possessing firearms under existing state and federal law.…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. A Betrayal of the Social Contract The news broke this week like a punch in the gut: nearly 50,000 residents in the Lake Tahoe area have been told their utility will stop providing power after next ski season. Fortune reports that these people are now scrambling to find a future energy source, while the data centers powering the AI boom get first dibs on the grid [1]. This is not a technical glitch. It is a deliberate choice to serve machines over human beings. Let that sink in. Almost fifty…
Chilean brand Rokum could have entered the U.S. market with a small line of sleeping bags and sleeping pads. Instead, it went with a rarer approach: combine them together. The Umak — part sleeping bag, part sleeping pad, and part couch — launched on Kickstarter last week. This three-season kit may provide enough use cases to entice summer campers looking for a flexible sleeping system — if not quite those seeking backcountry adventures. The bag’s bulkiness and weight make it an unlikely contender for long-distance backpacking. At $100, it’s a wild but affordable sleep kit. We don’t yet know how…
If you ask most people if a musket or flintlock rifle–yes, they’re different–is a firearm, they’d say it is, and with good reason. It was considered a firearm in its prime, and by most metrics, it still is. However, legally, they’re not. They’re not covered by most gun laws in this country, including things like the prohibition on felons owning firearms. I wouldn’t trust a DA and a jury to see it the same way, mind you, but technically, it sure looks like that’s the way it goes. And at the Associated Press, they were…
Daniel Defense is one of the better-known manufacturers of AR-15s. They sell really good quality rifles, and they stand with the Second Amendment, which is kind of essential for their business to succeed. Having chatted with a few of the guys who work there in the past, it’s a company made up of good people who simply want to provide a much-needed product to the American people so we can defend ourselves and our way of life, if need be. But then, on the flip side, we have the Good Men Project, which thinks that…
DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision last year to abruptly dissolve the U.S. Agency for International Development — once a leading global aid donor — has been followed by a significant increase in violence in several African countries that the agency had supported, according to a study published on Thursday. While the authors did not blame the USAID cuts for the increase in violence, they said the findings demonstrate that “large-scale, sudden aid cuts can destabilize fragile settings.” They, however, added that this is not evidence that more aid reduces conflict, instead it only shows “the effect…
The New York Times is being sued for discrimination. The company was served with a lawsuit for passing up a white man for a promotion. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed the lawsuit on Tuesday on behalf of a New York Times editor who lodged a complaint against the company. The New York Times called the lawsuit politically motivated and said it would defend itself “vigorously,” according to a report by The Associated Press. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York. According to the filing, the man alerted the EEOC that…

A few days ago Tom covered the Lynchburg, Virginia city council’s renewal of the Second Amendment Sanctuary resolution adopted six years ago, soon after Democrats gained complete control of state government. The first iteration of the Second Amendment Sanctuary movement swept across the state like a wildfire, with more than 100 counties and municipalities eventually adopting resolutions and ordinances stating they would not enforce any gun control laws that infringed on our right to keep and bear arms. The movement largely faded after Republicans regained control of statewide offices in the 2021 elections, and even…
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is doing something rare in state government: actually defending constitutional rights. And the gun control lobby is losing its mind over it. Uthmeier has drawn fire from anti-gun politicians, legacy media outlets, and professional victims for the radical act of refusing to defend unconstitutional laws that violate young adults’ Second Amendment rights. The latest controversy? The AG intervened in a criminal case, asking a state appeals court to uphold an 18-20-year-old defendant’s right to carry. Even hostile media outlets admit this constitutes a clear win for gun rights in Florida. At issue is a 1987…
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has warned that President Donald Trump remains “very serious” about acquiring Greenland, and has called the pressure from the United States “unacceptable.” Mette Frederiksen has also said that US threats to take over the Arctic island are far from over. The US has not said how far it’ll be willing to go in order to acquire Greenland. However, at one point, the ruling class refused to rule out using military force in order to do so. U.S. Won’t Say How Far It’ll Go To Acquire Greenland Trump Will Not “Rule Out” Military Action To Take…
