New Jersey has never made it easy for law-abiding citizens to carry a firearm. Before the Bruen decision, it was downright impossible for most. It was one of those states that said you needed a good reason to get a permit, and as at least one reader informed me directly, “self-defense” wasn’t considered a good reason. They can’t do that now, but that doesn’t mean they’re making it much easier. What they do now is charge a lot of money for a permit, and that makes it difficult for many people to get one, especially…
A large luxury sedan, such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, often sits near the top of a premium brand’s lineup. These vehicles blend the latest technology and ultimate luxury into a complete package. However, with the rising demand for SUVs and the introduction of new luxury SUVs, the importance of the luxury sedan has diminished over the past few years. While other brands have removed flagship sedans from their product lineups, Volvo has taken a different approach to the segment. The brand-new Volvo ES90 is the company’s first fully electric luxury sedan, a bold statement by the Swedish carmaker to a…
Health officials in Brazil are currently monitoring two people for possible Ebola infections. One suspected patient, a 37-year-old man from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo), who began exhibiting symptoms such as fever, São Paulo’s state government said. The other case is in Rio de Janeiro. These two cases are in Brazil’s two largest cities, sparking concern for the country. The test results for both patients should become available next week. If confirmed, they would be the first cases of infection outside Africa since the outbreak began in the DR Congo, according to a BBC report. There are…
When you think of Mammoth Lakes, Calif., you likely imagine the alpine grandeur of resort skiing and snowboarding. What often goes overlooked, however, is the surrounding landscape of forests, wilderness areas, and pristine alpine lakes. A wider lens opens up one of the most geologically dynamic landscapes in North America. Volcanic energy, tectonic forces, and glacial activity shaped (and, in some cases, continue to shape) this corner of the Eastern Sierra with features that inspire both awe and exploration. When Michael Washington and Sam Reese set off to uncover the story behind the geology of Mammoth Lakes, they targeted four…
The ATF has recently moved to end the “zero tolerance” policy put in place under Joe Biden and then-ATF Director Steve Dettelbach that treated even minor paperwork errors as “willful” violations of agency regulations worthy of license revocations. Under the policy, revocations grew more than 500%, from 30 in 2020 to 195 in 2024. Additionally, more than 1,400 FFLs decided to “voluntarily” surrender their licenses or close their doors in 2024, in some cases after ATF indicated it would pursue revocations. Biden and his supporters in the gun control lobby claimed that these were “bad…
Marines and additional National Guard troops were headed to Los Angeles this week on President Donald Trump’s orders in response to protests over immigration raids. The authorization came amid mostly peaceful protests in the city on Monday. California officials sued Trump on Monday to roll back the administration’s National Guard deployment, saying the president trampled over the state’s sovereignty. Local officials and Gov. Gavin Newsom don’t want the military presence and the police chief has said it creates logistical challenges for safely handling protests.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 has officially been announced, and according to some recent comments made by Infinity Ward, it’s going to feature the biggest campaign in Modern Warfare history.

It promises to bring the series back to its roots with dark, gritty storytelling, cinematic set pieces, and immersive gameplay moments that feel grounded in authenticity…
For a place that’s supposedly “gun-free”, police sure do discover a lot of guns being carried in the Chicago Transit Authority system. A federal judge in Chicago recently accepted a plea deal offered by prosecutors to a 10-time felon who was caught with a gun on a Blue Line train last July, and despite Gerald Pittman’s lengthy criminal history he walked away with a sentence that’s less than 1/3rd the maximum penalty. Pittman was supposed to be under court supervision after a previous guilty plea involving drug trafficking, but he had stopped complying with the…
A Russian drone struck a residential apartment building in eastern Romania near the Ukrainian border, injuring two civilians and intensifying concerns that Moscow’s war against Ukraine is increasingly spilling into NATO territory. The drone entered Romanian airspace on May 29 during a large-scale Russian attack against targets in neighboring Ukraine before crashing into a residential building in the city of Galați. Two civilians were injured and a fire broke out after the impact, according to Romanian officials and multiple international news reports. The strike marked one of the most serious known incidents involving a Russian drone impacting a populated civilian…
Iran has claimed that the United States has suffered 200 casualties in retaliatory strikes in the Middle East. The Pentagon, however, says that number is only three. Iran Has Confirmed The Death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed that strikes on military bases in the Middle East have caused the death of 200 military personnel. “As a result of missile strikes on American bases, at least 200 US military personnel were killed and injured,” the Tasnim news agency reported Saturday, citing a statement by the IRGC. This is a rather large discrepancy. Is Iran…
San Francisco–based travel brand Aer and the gear experts at GearJunkie’s sister site Pack Hacker looked at existing slings on the market and came away with one bold idea: Make the ultimate sling bag. The result is their first-ever design collaboration, the Aer x Pack Hacker Ultra Sling. Born from a 17-month development process that saw the teams testing prototypes from Lisbon to Seoul, this 2L sling bridges the gap between minimalist everyday carry and rugged travel utility. Check out a first look at the new bag below. The Design Built for the Elements The new, standout feature of this…
Wile the U.S. Supreme Court has been keeping almost a half-dozen cases dealing with whether or not adults under the age of 21 are fully vested with their Second Amendment in a holding pattern, the Supreme Judicial Court in Massachusetts will take up the issue in oral arguments today. Mikai Thomson, who was 20 when his car was stopped by police in Boston more than four years ago, was convicted of several charges including illegal possession of a firearm. Thomson and his public defender, however, have argued that the Massachusetts law forbidding under-21s from obtaining…
A bill before the U.S. Congress that would prevent law enforcement officers in the country illegally from carrying firearms highlights a loophole in the law that at least one gun-rights group believes needs to be addressed. Under normal circumstances, federal law prohibits illegal aliens from possessing firearms and ammunition. However, as Gun Owners of America (GOA) pointed out in a newly posted fact sheet, there have been at least three major cases where an illegal has been hired in a law enforcement capacity, drawing attention to a glaring issue with current federal law. “Congress introduces a GOA-backed bill to appeal an…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. The Opening Gambit in a New Type of War As the war with Iran entered its second day in early March 2026, a more sinister pattern emerged from the initial volleys of missiles and drones. The opening strikes by the Islamic Republic were not a maximal effort to inflict immediate, catastrophic damage on the United States and Israel. Instead, they constituted a meticulously calculated first move in a new, asymmetrical warfare playbook. This strategy is not designed to win a head-to-head confrontation with the world’s most expensive military, but…
While most of my weekend was spent with my family, a little doing some woodworking, and mostly just trying to relax, there was still plenty of time to jump on X and talk about the US bombing Iran back into the stone age. So, we bombed them back to about eight minutes before. Anyway, Iran has been a key part in the rise of Islamic terrorism throughout the world. They’ve had their grubby little paws on everything from the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut to the attack on the USS Cole to supporting…
