I can’t tell you how often I’m tempted to start a piece with the quote, “Gun control works.”It’s not because it’s true, obviously, because it’s not. Instead, it’s what we’re told over and over again. When we point out the failures, it never seems to bother anti-gunners, though, because then they try to blame the lawful market, pro-gun states, or a thousand other things. Their laws work, you see, and any failure is because the rest of us won’t trust them. It’s kind of like how Cuba’s failures of communism are because the capitalists embargoed…
Last week at CES, Chamelo’s co-founder and CEO, Reid Covington, privately shared with GearJunkie that when he originally envisioned electrochromic eyewear (that could change tint on demand), snow goggles were actually the first product he pictured. And yet, even though the company’s been around for a couple of years, the brand just now released Aroza, its first set of tint-changing snow goggles. Some folks may have seen the brand’s lifestyle and sports-minded sunglasses in viral TikTok and YouTube videos, including one showing late-night host Jimmy Fallon and Bad Bunny experiencing color-changing lenses on the Tonight Show. Chamelo actually produces several…
In the immediate aftermath of the attack at Bondi Beach, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese jumped at the chance to call for stricter gun control laws. This was a terrorist attack in his country, and his first thought wasn’t to address radical Islamist propaganda, extremism in general, or anything of the sort. It was to step in and restrict an already heavily restricted access to a very limited number of firearms. And it seemed like kind of a safe bet from his standpoint. After all, Aussies don’t look at guns the way America does. They…
by Lee Williams Orlando, Florida resident and Indie Guns owner Lawrence Michael DeStefano wants his 50,000 New York customers to know he will never give up their names, even though New York State Attorney General Leticia James has threatened to put him in prison for more than 500 years if he doesn’t comply immediately and furnish their personal information and purchase history. As we first reported last week, DeStefano has been held in Florida’s Orange County Jail for nearly 90 days. He could be taken to New York’s infamous Rikers Island any day. “I will never tell Letitia James who…

Take note, watch lovers: The clock is ticking on what’s likely one of the best sales of the year. Swiss brand Zodiac — which has long built some of the industry’s most sought-after and iconic watches — is currently selling out its entire online inventory at steep discounts. The sale has been ongoing for weeks, but recently reached a new benchmark by offering 50% off everything that’s left. That’s great news for those anxious to get their hands on a sweet deal. On the other hand, it’s potentially concerning for those worried about the future of this historic brand. With a…
Just hours after a man was shot in the leg by federal law enforcement, United States ruler Donald Trump threatened to use the military in Minnesota to quell protests. Trump said he could invoke the “Insurrection Act” over widespread demonstrations after federal agents shot and wounded a man, and in the aftermath of the fatal shooting of a protester by an ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agent last week. “If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job,…
A great women’s ski bib should feel like part of your body. I’ve spent enough years skiing in every imaginable condition to know that not all bibs achieve that. But the updated Arc’teryx Rush Bibs come pretty darn close. Whether I was lapping runs at Aspen Snowmass or sucking wind while climbing 2,000 vertical feet on a hot and sunny day, these bibs moved with me. Yes, the new Rush Bibs are technical, storm-ready, come with a RECCO reflector, and are made with PFAS-free GORE-TEX PRO ePE materials. But all of that is what we’ve come to expect from Arc’teryx. Instead,…
With the Supreme Court set to hear oral arguments in Wolford v. Lopez next week, the usual suspects are already complaining about the likely outcome; a majority striking down Hawaii’s “vampire rule” barring concealed carry by default on all private property. But that’s not where the complaint stops. No, anti-gun ideologues like Vox’s Ian Milhauser are also using Wolford as an excuse to bitch about and belittle the Bruen decision that held the right to keep and bear arms actually protects the right to carry a gun. Milhauser complains that the Supreme Court’s test for determining whether a gun…
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Director Steven Dettelbach answered questions from members of the U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations Committee. While mostly focused on budget and appropriations matters, committee members asked the director a range of questions, including about the Final Rule defining stabilizing arm braces attached to pistols as short-barreled rifles (SBRs), the agency’s new “zero tolerance” policy, what constitutes “willful violations” by federal firearms licensees (FFL), suppressors, ATF form processing and tracing request backlogs, illegal firearm trafficking and more. During the hearing, Director Dettelbach mentioned ATF’s partnerships with NSSF on Real Solutions. Safer Communities. initiatives that data shows…
Longtime Second Amendment advocates may remember the name Loretta Weinberg, who was the architect of New Jersey’s original “smart gun” law that would have banned all “dumb guns” from being sold in the state once a “smart gun” came to market. Weinberg served in the New Jersey legislature for decades until her retirement in 2022, but though she’s no longer in office she’s still doing all she can to infringe on the rights of law-abiding residents of the Garden State, including rallying her fellow senior citizens to call for gun bans and other infringements at her nursing home earlier this…
KRAMATORSK, Ukraine — In the action movie “Tourist,” military instructors with the Russian mercenary group Wagner deploy to the Central African Republic and find themselves reluctant warriors against rebels and a corrupt ex-politician ahead of a presidential election. Then there’s “Granit,” another big-budget action flick whose title character, a grizzled but idealistic Russian military trainer, sacrifices himself to protect the southern African country of Mozambique from ISIS-style bandits. And in the more recent “Best in Hell,” Wagner fighters duke it out with an unnamed enemy — clearly meant to be Ukrainians — in an unspecified location that’s an obvious stand-in for the…
The crisis in the United States banking sector is not over yet. Moody’s Investor Services, one of America’s premier credit rating and analysis corporations, has issued downgrades for 11 regional investors. This development suggests that the recent bank failures have ushered in greater instability in the banking industry. The failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature draw attention to regional lenders’ weaknesses. According to The Wall Street Journal, Moody’s said strains in how banks manage their assets and liabilities are becoming “increasingly evident,” and are pressuring profitability. Recent events “have called into question whether some banks’ assumed high stability of deposits and their…
In a recent Rutgers study, research shows that those conservative individuals who were more reluctant to take precautions against COVID-19 were more likely to buy firearms in the buying frenzy of 2020. Further, groups who took more COVID precautions had a higher percentage of first-time gun buyers compared to groups who took fewer measures against illness during the same period. Of these groups, over 60% of gun purchases were to first-time buyers. The objective of the Rutgers study was to examine “the extent to which political beliefs and public health behaviors cluster together and define distinct groups of individuals and…
Posted in Bolt Action, Daily News, Rifles by with No CommentsTags: bolt action, Model 783, RemArms, Remington Back in 2013, RemArms introduced the new Model 783, a bolt-action rifle that was eventually driven to the bottom of the price list for Remington after the discontinuation of the Remington 770. In addition to the perception of the Model 783 being a “cheap” rifle and with everyone focusing their money elsewhere in the market (specifically a clamor for AR-15 rifles), the Model 783 really just didn’t sell well – something that Remington is attempting to change today with the reintroduction of the…
Iranian hackers broke into to a system used by a U.S. municipal government to publish election results in 2020 but were discovered by cyber soldiers operating abroad and kicked out before an attack could be launched, according to U.S. military and cybersecurity officials. The system involved in the previously undisclosed breach was not for casting or counting ballots, but rather was used to report unofficial election results on a public website. The breach was revealed during a presentation this week at the RSA Conference in San Francisco, which is focused on cybersecurity. Officials did not identify the local government that…
From the CCRKBA . . . Washington Democrat Gov. Jay Inslee signed legislation yesterday requiring gun buyers to provide proof they have completed a firearms training course before being allowed to complete their transaction, but the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is calling this the equivalence of a “literacy test” that was used to discourage voting by minorities in the South. “We’re talking about rights in both cases,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “For Jay Inslee or any other Democrat to contend ‘this is different’ suggests they’re either dishonest or delusional, and perhaps a little…
Florida resident Kristopher Ervin was arrested in early March 2021 as part of a joint operation by agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. (Yeah, that’s a thing.) Potential AR-15 auto-sears??? (Photo: Armslist) The ATF claimed Ervin sold auto sears — components used to convert semi-automatic AR-15s into rifles that are fully automatic and fully fun…but also illegal without the proper paperwork. So let’s take a look at this case. We’ll answer what an AutoKeyCard is, find out why the ATF is so upset over it, and break down similar cases.…

Debate in St. Paul lasted long into the night on Tuesday, and lawmakers will be back at it again today as the Democratic majority tries to get a “red flag” measure and a “universal” background check bill passed. Gov. Tim Walz publicly stumped for the legislation at a gun control rally on Tuesday, imploring lawmakers to adopt the measures in the name of public safety, while claiming the bills don’t infringe on anyone’s Second Amendment rights. ‘Every other industrialized nation in the world can find a way to keep their freedoms and not kill their children and their citizens,” Democratic Gov.…
