By now, you’ve probably noticed a pattern in modern gun control politics. Step 1: Find data. Step 2: Remove context. Step 3: Call a press conference. Step 4: Blame gun stores. According to NSSF Senior Vice President Larry Keane, that’s exactly what’s happening with Brady’s latest lawsuit against the Department of Justice and the ATF. And frankly, he’s got a point. Brady Sues ATF Brady is suing the federal government to force the release of information connected to ATF’s Demand Letter 2 program, a long-running reporting requirement for firearm retailers whose guns are later traced by law enforcement under specific…

Graham Platner has received a wave of both praise and criticism in recent weeks. The U.S. Senate candidate from Maine continues to garner support from at least one particular demographic: veterans groups. Platner officially became the Democratic Party candidate on Tuesday evening after comfortably defeating Gov. Janet Mills, whose campaign was suspended in April due to a lack of fundraising though she remained on the ballot. The Associated Press called the race as 8% of the votes were counted, when Platner had earned 75% of the vote. NBC News later reported that Platner garnered roughly 149,800 votes, or 72%, compared…

LONDON (AP) — U.K. Defense Secretary John Healey unexpectedly resigned on Thursday, saying the government isn’t willing to spend enough on the military at a time of “rising threats.” The resignation is another blow to embattled Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who is already facing demands from Labour colleagues to step down. Healey told Starmer in a letter that the government’s Defense Investment Plan falls “well short of what is required at this dangerous time.” Publication of the plan has been delayed amid reports of disagreement between the defense ministry and the Treasury. Starmer has pledged to boost U.K. defense spending…

The Tradition Community Association, which serves as the HOA for the massive planned community in Port St. Lucie known as Tradition, has formally rescinded a rule prohibiting lawful carry in common areas of the development.  Tradition is home to nearly 10,000 people, but both residents and visitors were barred from carrying on the miles of trails, retail shopping spaces, and even dog parks after TCA adopted a policy several months ago prohibiting the practice. Many homeowners said the ban caught them off guard, and had no idea the association had adopted the rule until they received…

WASHINGTON (AP) — Construction of the 250-foot-high triumphal arch that President Donald Trump wants built near the Lincoln Memorial could occur 20 hours per day, year-round, as officials push to complete the project within three years, according to a preliminary assessment by the National Park Service. Tower cranes up to 320 feet tall, forklifts, concrete pump systems and other equipment would be needed to build the arch, which would be more than twice as high as the Lincoln Memorial. Work would occur year-round in two 10-hour shifts per day, the Park Service report said. The 24-page assessment by NPS staff…

The history of gun control in America has its roots in racism. Many of the first gun control laws were created not to increase public safety so much as to disarm groups that were disfavored, including Native Americans and freed black men and women. While anti-gunners of today would probably argue that the policies they push are nothing of the sort, they also tend to see any racial disparity in the impact of a law as a sign of racism. Unless, I guess, they’re the ones doing it.Over at our sister site, Townhall, my friend…

A new study finds that the federal government’s deployment of U.S. National Guard soldiers into Washington D.C. heavily reduced property crimes but had no real impact on murders and violent crime. Thousands of National Guardsmen from across the country have been in the nation’s capital since August 2025, following orders from President Donald Trump to combat what he described as a crime problem in the District of Columbia. About two months into the deployment, a Joint Task Force (JTF) D.C. told Military.com that the Guard is “uniquely qualified” due to strong local ties, disciplined training, and the ability to integrate…

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — The U.S and Iran traded strikes for a second day, pushing the Middle East closer to the resumption of a full-scale war. The American attack, which lasted into Thursday morning in Iran, appeared more intense and wider than the day before, but Tehran released little information on the extent of the damage. An Indian official said a U.S. attack on an oil tanker allegedly trying to violate Washington’s blockade on Iranian ports killed three Indian mariners, underscoring the danger to seafarers. It was the third time this week that back-and-forth strikes have rattled the…

It’s been six years since the U.S. Army partnered with the American Red Cross at Fort Polk, La. in a pioneering dental assistant program that trains military spouses, veterans and other military family members in a specialized field of work. Individuals are once again reaping the benefits. The hiatus was mostly due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the availability of dental clinics as partners in the program. Now it’s back, with dozens of trainees participating in the program in Louisiana, across the country and worldwide. “It was really the pandemic. Outside dentists and dental assistants didn’t want to come on…
