Perhaps my favorite fiction author is Larry Correia. His Monster Hunter International series is incredible, though the Grimnoir series is my favorite. He’s done others, and one that I think a lot of people sleep on is the novel he did with John D. Brown called “Gun Runner.” It’s a science fiction work that, frankly, I enjoyed so much. While I’m hoping we get a second book there, it seems there’s something else in the works in that universe.A Kickstarter for a graphic novel version of the book.The 2021 Dragon Award-winning military science fiction novel…
Gun owners (or most of them, anyway) are rightfully delighted with U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix’s decision that much of the National Firearms Act has been rendered moot now that the making and transfer taxes on suppressors, short-barreled firearms, and “any other weapons” have been zeroed out by Congress in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. As Reason’s Jacob Sullum writes in his latest syndicated column, though, even folks who have no plans to purchase a suppressor or short-barreled rifle in the future should be pleased by how Hendrix reached his decision. Hendrix didn’t decide…
More than 100,000 surplus M14 rifles once used by the U.S. military are expected to go on sale to the public beginning early next year through the Civilian Marksmanship Program. The organization is a federally chartered nonprofit that plans to sell the guns. CMP CEO and board Chairman Jerry O’Keefe said the organization is targeting a price below $2,000 per rifle, though final pricing has not yet been announced.” Every buyer is limited to two weapons apiece, and sales are expected in January. The CMP could reconsider this limit as sales go on. CMP CEO and board Chairman Jerry O’Keefe…
I keep trying to keep myself calm regarding the court’s decision on the NFA registry requirement for suppressors and short-barreled long guns. I want it to mean the end of the NFA requirements entirely, and while they’re gone for now, there’s no guarantee they won’t return down the road. I want to temper my expectations. Still gonna SBR my home defense rifle and put a can on it, though.However, it’s always possible that an appeal will come.That’s not stopping Giffords from absolutely losing its mind over it.Trump’s Justice Department just failed to defend nearly 100…
PHOENIX (AP) — All eyes were on Navajo Code Talker Thomas H. Begay. The 101-year-old veteran saluted while the national anthem played on Friday, kicking off a day of recognition honoring him and the other Navajo recruits who famously used their native language to keep military secrets during World War II. Begay, one of the last two living Code Talkers, made the long trip from his home on the Navajo Nation to the Arizona State Capitol for the event. He was joined by family members and dozens of descendants of other Code Talkers. “I am so damn proud,” said Begay,…

The United States once planned to drop more than 1,000 bomb-carrying bats over Japanese cities. A psychologist taught pigeons to guide missiles. Cold War troops were issued a recoilless weapon capable of launching a nuclear warhead. British engineers built a giant pair of rocket-powered wheels stuffed with explosives and expected the contraption to drive itself up a beach. These weren’t concepts that lived only on paper. Every weapon on this list reached at least the prototype or testing stage. Several entered military service, and some were used in combat. Here are 15 of the strangest weapons military engineers actually built.…

The Montana is MKC’s first production-scale folding knife, following years of fixed-blade releases from the brand.

In a time when turning on the TV, checking social media, or opening email can bring either great news (“Your candidate got elected!”) or bad news (“The company regrets to inform you …”), maintaining a positive attitude can feel exhausting. A little levity can provide welcome relief during a stressful week. Humor, used well, can help people connect, reduce tension and create moments of humanity in tense situations. But when humor is poorly timed, inappropriate or misses the mark, it can backfire quickly and leave lasting damage to your reputation and credibility. When Humor Misses the Mark Consider what happened…
This was the first time I’ve ever felt like I needed more furniture in a tent. The cool vinyl floor of the Springbar Skyliner begged for folding chairs at one end, a large air mattress at the other, a rug and card table at the center, with a lounge area out front beneath the awning. Between the breathable canvas walls and the wood stove, I was also as unworried about moisture as I’ve ever been in a tent — for now. When I pack this castle up tomorrow and store it away at home, that might be a different story. Springbar…
We’ve written a lot about the use of AI to detect firearms. Proponents of the technology claim it not only works but can work faster than any other tool available to prevent school shootings. Some of these systems call the police immediately upon noticing a gun, even if it hasn’t been drawn. Assuming, of course, they don’t misidentify a bag of Doritos as a firearm. Or a clarinet.The problem with AI is that it’s more artificial than actually intelligent. It makes massive mistakes, and because of how it works, it can create panic and confusion…
Hybrid demand has remained pretty consistent over the last few years, even as interest in fully electric cars seems to change with the weather. Toyota has not only been a pioneer in this space since the launch of the Toyota Prius (and even before that, if you want to count early concept cars like the G21), the brand has been the segment’s undisputed champion, selling 4.4 million of these vehicles in 2025 alone. With gas prices climbing as high as seven bucks a gallon in some areas, we wouldn’t be surprised to see that number snowballing through 2026, with hybrids…
Hantavirus was found in high levels in multiple rodent species across the Pacific Northwest. While this isn’t incredibly alarming news, some mainstream media outlets are reporting that the virus could pose a higher risk than initially thought. WHO Chief Claims More Cases Of Hantavirus Are Coming According to a report by Fox News, in summer 2023, researchers collected samples from 189 deer mice, voles, and chipmunks at eight farms and two forest sites. Researchers from Washington State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine found unexpectedly high levels of Sin Nombre virus (SNV), which is the strain most strongly linked to hantavirus…
When most of us imagine things that could go wrong on a thru-hike, we probably think of ankle and knee injuries, getting lost, bad weather, and equipment failure. And yet, in huts and trail bathrooms, a far worse threat lingers, and it’s one we can’t even see: norovirus. A recent outbreak on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) left over 20 hikers seriously ill — and that’s not uncommon. Each year, multiple hikers on the PCT and Appalachian Trail (AT) get sick with this highly contagious illness, and it’s serious enough to end a thru-hike attempt. There’s a reason it thrives in…
Multiple lawsuits have been filed in both state and federal court since Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed a bill outlawing the sale, manufacture, and transfers of so-called assault firearms and large capacity magazines, as well as another measure prohibiting the carrying of “assault firearms” in most public spaces. Spanberger is also facing an enforcement challenge in addition to the legal challenges, with a growing number of county sheriffs and Commonwealth Attorneys declaring their intent not to enforce the new laws if they take effect on July 1. Earlier this week I reported on two prosecutors…
Bungie is reportedly facing another major round of layoffs, and Destiny 3 is not currently in active development. According to a new Bloomberg report cited by IGN, the Destiny 2 developer is expected to be hit with “significant” layoffs in the near future, creating even more uncertainty around the studio’s future after years of instability under Sony. The report arrives shortly after Bungie confirmed that Destiny 2 will receive its final live-service content update on June 9, 2026. The update, Monument of Triumph, will mark the end of active development for Destiny 2, though Bungie has said the game will…

A Houston police pursuit in 2022 could’ve ended with officers trapped inside a burning patrol car. Instead, it turned into one of those stories that sounds more like a movie scene than real life: a Tesla slamming into police, a violent crash, suspects bailing on foot, a patrol unit erupting into flames, ammo cooking off in the cabin, and officers still chasing suspects while their rifles melted inside the inferno. And now, for the first time, one of the officers involved is telling the full story exclusively to GunsAmerica. Houston Police Department Officer Vincent Li says the incident started during…
Pullups are among the toughest exercises in calisthenics, and as with any strength-endurance exercise, hitting a plateau is a challenge. Pullups require the strength to lift your entire body weight with your arms. Obviously, the heavier you are, the harder this exercise becomes. For those seeking to maximize pullup fitness, the first pullup is often the biggest challenge, as it requires greater strength. The next challenge is adding more repetitions, which requires building muscle endurance to reach 10 or more. Hitting a plateau is the next challenge, especially if you have a goal of 20 or more pullups. Here is…
