While the Trump Administration has said it would protect the Second Amendment and even recently created a Second Amendment Rights Section within the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, it continues to fight to save the NFA’s registration power now that the $200 tax is gone. And that staunch defense of what is arguably unconstitutional, since the tax law no longer has a tax attached, is drawing the ire of many in the gun-rights community. “In a stunning, ultimate betrayal of the Second Amendment, the Department of Justice responded to GOA’s One, Big, Beautiful lawsuit with a new attack on…
As my bird dogs and I neared the end of a cat tail slough, I watched two roosters flush wild 80 yards ahead of us, out of range. I grimaced, felt my lower lip crack, and tasted blood as a 40 mph gust ripped across my face. Yet another wasted effort. It had been a brutal week in South Dakota, with waist-deep snow covered in an inch of ice, temperatures approaching -20, and birds scooting across the icy landscape ahead of us. We were trying to keep up, but it was impossible. Every step sent me and the dogs plummeting…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog. Hundreds of millions of people all over the Western world are enjoying the holiday season as if nothing has changed. But meanwhile, the pounding of the war drums just continues to intensify. If the world keeps going down this path, next year’s holiday season could look completely different. Unfortunately, most people seem to assume that everything will magically work out just fine somehow. That greatly frustrates me, because ignoring the reality of the crisis that we are facing is not going to fix anything. If ordinary citizens…
For the last week, we’ve written a lot about Australia and Bondi Beach. There’s no doubt that what happened was beyond awful, and there’s no doubt that an anti-gun nation would simply double down on gun control, which is precisely what happened. Even before the bodies were cold, the government called for more gun control. No one really knew all that much about what happened, where the guns came from, or anything else, but the calls came just the same.It wasn’t much different from what it is here after some tragedy, only lawmakers there have…
I’m lucky enough to have spent a lot of time running suppressed handguns. Although they’re often extremely simplified on both television and video game mediums, one component that almost always gets left out is the suppressor piston (also known as a muzzle booster, booster piston, booster, piston assembly, or historically as a Nielsen device). This one is a fairly simple part of the real secret to making most pistol suppressors work reliably on recoil-operated firearms. Suppressor pistons handle the extra weight of the added suppressor, so your gun cycles without a fuss, leading to a probably frustrating experience. In this…
The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division (and its Second Amendment Section) have filed a brand new lawsuit against the District of Columbia’s Metropolitan Police Department over D.C.’s ban on so-called assault weapons, asserting that the prohibition runs afoul of the right to keep and bear arms. The DOJ has previously argued against Illinois’ ban on a vast swath of semi-automatic rifles, shotguns, and even some pistols; participating in oral arguments before the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals earlier this year. Today’s lawsuit, however, is the first time that the DOJ has filed a complaint…
The Trump administration hasn’t gone nearly as far as some Second Amendment activists would like, at least when it comes to dismantling the federal gun control regime. The administration appears to have backed off its attempt at merging ATF and the DEA, which was roundly criticized on both sides of the gun control debate, and there are no plans to shutter the agency altogether. The DOJ, meanwhile, continues to defend federal prohibitions on gun possession for “unlawful” users of drugs and those convicted of crimes punishable by more than a year in prison, even when…
Last week, Senate Democrats reintroduced one of the most sweeping federal gun control proposals in years. U.S. Senators Cory Booker and Andy Kim brought back the Federal Firearm Licensing Act, a bill that would require Americans to obtain a federal firearm license before purchasing, receiving, or even possessing a firearm. We must reject division and hate. The ties that bind us are so much stronger than the lines that divide us. pic.twitter.com/93zzcmdIOa— Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) December 19, 2025 Supporters are calling it “commonsense.” Gun owners will recognize it for what it is: a national permission slip system enforced by the…
Europe is unleashing tens of billions in new aid for Ukraine as Russia escalates strikes on key infrastructure, raising the stakes for a U.S.-led peace push that in recent weeks has been moving at full speed.Developments framed high-level peace talks in Berlin, where U.S. envoys spent two-and-a-half days with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders pushing a new framework that includes Article 5-like security guarantees, economic recovery plans, and proposed pathways for resolving territorial disputes as Washington seeks to an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine that has persisted since February 2022.European Union (EU) Council President Antonio Costa announced…
To understand the new politics stance and other pro nationals of recent times, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement of the latest generation. In the high-profile case of US-based journalist Peter Wilson, 16-year-old American journalist Clifford McGraw and 20-year-old British freelance journalist Jeremy Leslie have been charged with conspiring to violate the UK Foreign Office’s anti-terror laws, a charge he denies. On Monday, UK attorney Andy McDonald revealed that he had spoken. “Few worry about catching Covid anymore, as it’s just a matter of time before they do,” says Tea, a teacher at a school for…
