The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) is pushing back against calls for more gun control following Sunday’s deadly shooting at Seattle Center, arguing the tragedy underscores a crime problem rather than a gun problem. In a statement released Monday, CCRKBA Executive Director Andrew Gottlieb criticized Seattle officials for repeatedly referring to the incident as “gun violence” while failing to focus on the alleged criminal behavior behind the attack. “It took 17 hours for police to acknowledge the suspect they had in custody is only 15 years old,” Gottlieb said. “And then Seattle Police Chief…
Despite both genres being individually well-represented, open-world RPGs aren’t actually all that common, so we need to cherish each one of them. Everybody knows Skyrim and The Witcher 3, or even modern greats like Crimson Desert, but the same cannot be said for every game. In fact, a few true gems have been largely forgotten by time, remembered only by select die-hard fans and referenced solely in these types of articles. Let’s change that. If you find yourself staring at your video game library, unsure what to play, then these forgotten open-world RPGs could bring a spark back into your…
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…
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has awarded 50 U.S. service members medals in recognition of their work in securing the U.S.-Mexico Border. The medals, called the Mexican Border Defense Medal, were awarded in a ceremony on Monday to 14 Marine Corps personnel, 36 soldiers and one sailor who had all worked to stop drug traffickers and illegal immigration during President Donald Trump’s second administration. Border Security Securing the border has been a key priority under the second Trump administration. As of July 2025, U.S. troop deployments at the border tripled to 7,600 and include every branch of the military. The military…

The City of Boston is known historically for the Battle of Bunker Hill, which was fought on June 17, 1775, during the Siege of Boston in the first stage of the American Revolutionary War. Today, Boston is a sprawling coastal city that is fighting a different battle, one of climate change and an increasing threat of disastrous flooding. To that end, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is recommending $10 billion in infrastructure investments in its draft ‘Coastal Storm Risk Management Feasibility Study’. Released last week on July 24, the goal is to make recommendations to protect Boston and…
Among the many Second Amendment-related lawsuits that are percolating around the country is one known as Bergmann-Schoch v. Davenport, which challenges New Jersey’s prohibition on hollow-point ammunition. Besides the named plaintiff, the Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners, Gun Owners of America, and Gun Owners Foundation are suing the state over the hollow-point ban, and the plaintiffs attorneys recently submitted their reply to New Jersey’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit. The entire brief is a joy to read, but the Firearms Policy Coalition highlighted one particularly important part of the response that beautifully rebuts the…
CASABLANCA, Morocco (AP) — The remains of a U.S. Army soldier who went missing during military exercises in Morocco a week ago have been recovered in the Atlantic Ocean, the U.S. military said Sunday. Military teams are still searching for a second missing soldier. The remains found are those of 1st Lt. Kendrick Lamont Key Jr., a 14A Air Defense Artillery officer, who was among two U.S. soldiers who fell off a cliff during a recreational hike in Morocco while off duty. He was 27 years old. The two were reported missing May 2 after participating in African Lion, an…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran has sent its response to the latest U.S. ceasefire proposal via Pakistani mediators and wants negotiations to focus on permanently ending the war, Iran’s state-run media said Sunday. Pakistan confirmed receiving it. Iran seeks to end the war on all fronts, including in Lebanon, where Israel is fighting the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militant group, and to ensure the security of shipping, its state TV said. Washington’s latest proposal addressed a deal to end the war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and roll back Iran’s nuclear program, an issue that Tehran would rather discuss later.…
DANIA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Matthew Tkachuk’s daughter, born just a few weeks ago, probably had her afternoon nap interrupted on Friday. See, there was some noise over the house. The walls probably shook a bit, too. That’s what happens when an F-16 flies over the family home, repeatedly — and Tkachuk didn’t mind whatsoever. The star forward for the Florida Panthers was a civilian passenger with the Air Force’s air demonstration squadron Friday, getting to ride in the back seat of a Thunderbirds F-16 Fighting Falcon ahead of this weekend’s Fort Lauderdale Air Show. Tkachuk was part of a…
The United States has used force to seize enriched uranium from Venezuela. This announcement, made triumphantly by the US ruling class, comes with an understanding that Iran has a much larger stockpile of HEU (highly enriched uranium). The U.S. is in an Ongoing WAR With Venezuela In a statement on Friday, the Department of Energy (DOE) claimed that it had completed the “removal of all remaining enriched uranium from a legacy research reactor” in Venezuela, and transferred it to the US for processing and reuse. The quantity removed was 13.5 kg (30 pounds). The move “sends another signal to the world of…
I’ve been very critical of the Trump administration and its schizophrenic Second Amendment record. On one hand, we’ve gotten dozens of new rules for the ATF, almost all of which are outstanding for gun owners to some degree or another. We’ve had the Civil Rights division of the DOJ go after state and local governments for unconstitutional gun control laws. The flip side, though, is that they’ve also defended some terrible federal regulations. It’s enough to give you whiplash, and a lot of Second Amendment advocates are very down on the administration because of it.…
MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin said Saturday that the conflict in Ukraine is nearing its end after he oversaw a military parade on Red Square commemorating the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II — a show that didn’t include heavy weapons for the first time in nearly two decades. Security was tight in Moscow as Putin and several foreign leaders attended the parade, which was scaled down even as a U.S.-brokered three-day ceasefire eased concerns about possible Ukrainian attempts to disrupt the festivities. Putin, in power for more than a quarter-century, has used Victory Day, Russia’s…
Last August, President Donald Trump issued an executive order entitled “Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans”, in which he stated that “financial institutions have engaged in unacceptable practices to restrict law-abiding individuals’ and businesses’ access to financial services on the basis of political or religious beliefs or lawful business activities.” One of those lawful business activities is running a gun shop, and Trump’s EO was aimed in part at preventing discrimination against those FFLs. A Maryland gun store, however, claims that even after the executive order was issued, Capital One and a company called Melio…

Moving can be stressful and expensive, even more so for military soldiers and their families who may be constantly on the move. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, military families relocate about every two to four years, sometimes even more frequently, depending on military deployments and orders. “One important aspect of a military move is you have to be on point with timing,” said Roger Vance, CEO of Safe Ship Moving Services, in an interview with Military.com. “If the move doesn’t happen, it matters because the soldier has to go to work either way, especially if it involves a…
