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,…

A 30-acre wooded property on a lake in western New York opened up as a free retreat where disabled veterans could rest and heal.

The lawsuit alleges the two solicited donations in the name of disabled veterans and then spent much of the money on themselves, renovating a bathroom,…

Once upon a time, The Onion was funny. Those days are long over, which would be sad if The Babylon Bee weren’t a thing.What started out as a satire site focusing on religion has become the right’s answer to the leftist Onion, only unlike its competition, it’s funny. Especially, it’s long-running feud with CNN. While the Bee has always had a certain soft spot for gun rights, recently, they went on an absolute tear, mocking the media and anti-gun politicians.Let’s start with their swipe at the Associated Press.I wrote about how the AP ran a…
President Donald Trump will not deliver the commencement address for the U.S. Naval Academy’s (USNA) Class of 2026 graduation ceremony, with the USNA telling Military.com it was based on scheduling and availability as opposed to other perceived reasons. Instead, Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the nation’s highest-ranking military officer, will serve as speaker. The USNA announced Caine as the speaker just days before the ceremony, whereas when Vice President JD Vance delivered the commencement last fall, his commencement was made public roughly three weeks prior to the ceremony. Trump will serve as speaker for…
In the hierarchy of national parks, the North Cascades in Washington state has traditionally ranked pretty low. It receives fewer than 50,000 visitors annually, but its remote, rugged landscape is slowly becoming more popular. Since 2022, its visitor numbers have jumped 55%, and 2025 was a landmark year, with over 46,000 visitors, the most ever. Its potential in 2026 looked bright, until disaster after disaster struck. Extensive wildfires and flooding last year left widespread damage in the park. The North Cascades is facing major infrastructure problems and area closures, spelling trouble for the upcoming peak summer season. The future of…

BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO’s top military officer said Tuesday that he doesn’t expect any more drawdowns of American troops from Europe — at least not anytime soon — beyond the 5,000 that U.S. President Donald Trump announced would leave the continent. The remarks by U.S. Lt. Gen. Alex Grynkewich follow Trump’s surprise announcement of the move early this month. The U.S. leader has bickered with allies over the Iran war and called for changes. The Pentagon later said it would draw down thousands of troops in Europe by canceling deployments to Poland and Germany as opposed to yanking out forces…

Luigi Mangione is alleged to have committed one of the most brutal acts of violence we’ve seen in ages. He walked up to a man he had no connection to, who wasn’t a political figure or even a particularly public one, and shot him in the back. Why? Reportedly, it was because of the actions of the company the victim ran, UnitedHealthcare. While the insurance company did some absolutely skeevy crap, it wasn’t grounds for murder. Following the killing, Mangione was caught and arrested, and a gun and notebook were found in his backpack that tied…
The idea of an open-world has been ever-present in gaming since its earliest days. While hardware limitations may have kept the scope and fidelity of these open spaces from reaching the highs we see today, the adventure titles of yesteryear laid the groundwork for what would come later.

However, advancements in technology have paved the way for some truly immersive experiences and impressive spectacles. Whether…
