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…
Are you looking for long-term food storage options? If so, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve compiled a list of 30 foods that can last up to 30 years!

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…
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A Texas man was sentenced on Tuesday to more than three years in prison for his role in an online romance scam in which the identities and images of real U.S. military generals were used to cheat victims from across the nation out of a total of $1.5 million, federal prosecutors said. In addition to three years and a month behind bars, Fola Alabi, 52, of Richmond, Texas, was also sentenced in U.S. District Court in Rhode Island to three years of probation, ordered to pay full restitution and forfeit his home valued at $560,000, according to…

Steven Spielberg participated in a master class at the Time 100 Summit and announced he regrets editing guns out of “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.” The film’s 1982 theatrical cut includes a scene of officers chasing young kids with firearms. Spielberg edited the guns out for the 20th anniversary release of the film and replaced the firearms with walkie talkies. “That was a mistake,” Spielberg said. “I never should have done that. ‘E.T.’ is a product of its era. No film should be revised based on the lenses we now are, either voluntarily, or being forced to peer through.” “‘E.T.’ was a film that I…
The World Health Organization has warned of a possible “biological risk” after Sudanese fighters took over the National Public Health Laboratory in the capital Khartoum. Violent clashes erupted between the Sudanese military and the Rapid Support Forces, the paramilitary group battling the army over who gets to control the masses, in the northern part of Khartoum state. Many foreign nations made efforts for rapid evacuation of people from the country as violence marred a fragile United States-brokered ceasefire. Gunfire and the roar of fighter jets were heard in Khartoum on Tuesday, half a day after the announcement of a 72-hour truce…
The term “mass shooting” is one popular phrase for describing a certain kind of incident, but another term often used is “active shooter incident.” And we’ve been hearing all about just how many such shootings there have been, with numbers muddied by overly broad definitions that include things that shouldn’t be included. That’s just for mass shootings, though. Gang shootings tend not to be lumped in with active shooter cases, and for good reason. They’re not remotely the same. And it seems such shootings decreased in 2022. Active shooter incidents in the United States in 2022 decreased, while the number…
Hearing protection often goes through the same incremental improvement process that firearms gear and ammunition do. Safariland’s Liberator HP line of over-the-ear hearing protection has been some of the best in the business in terms of overall value for performance, but they recently announced that they’ve made some significant improvements to the line including a customer-demanded onboard rechargeable battery. These new models, the Liberator HP-R, are available now and feature more than just a rechargeable battery. More from Safariland @ TFB: Rechargeable Protection – Safariland Reengineers the Liberator HP Line The engineering behind the Liberator HP-R provides extended usage between…
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — An Iranian court issued a $312.9 million judgment against the United States over a 2017 Islamic State-claimed attack on Tehran, authorities said Wednesday, the latest judicial action between the nations amid their decadeslong enmity. Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency, in reporting the decision, offered no direct evidence to support the court’s allegation that American officials had any part in the June 2017 attack that killed at least 18 people and wounded 50 others. The assault saw gunmen attack Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s mausoleum and the country’s parliament, starting an hourslong siege. However, the court ruling comes…
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…
