The Bruen decision was big. There’s no denying that one, and while Rahimi rolled it back a bit, it was still a vital decision for protecting the right to keep and bear arms. But another recent decision might have been just as important. In fact, it’s arguably more important from a certain perspective.See, the ATF has the authority to determine if some things are or aren’t legal. Their job is to interpret the law and determine if a given product meets the legal definition of a given thing.For example, bump stocks. The ATF decided they…

The Coast Guard would be required to improve its oversight and response to sexual assault and harassment allegations under legislation currently under congressional consideration.The House and Senate versions of the Coast Guard Authorization Act, which OKs funding through 2029 and sets service policy, contain dozens of provisions that codify the Coast Guard’s rules and procedures on sexual misconduct, victim support and senior leader accountability regarding its handling of sexual assault and harassment.The provisions stem from at least 60 cases of sexual assault and harassment at the Coast Guard Academy from 1998 through 2006 and the cover-up of subsequent investigations, known…

Congress earlier this month finally got around to making New Mexico fallout victims of the first test of an atomic bomb and the miners who dug up the uranium to fuel the weapon eligible for compensation — nearly 80 years after the fearsome 22-kiloton blast code-named Trinity sent up a churning mushroom cloud over the desert.”This is the 80th year since the bomb was detonated at Trinity, so the people of New Mexico have essentially been waiting 80 years for this acknowledgment and this assistance,” Tina Cordova, a cancer survivor and executive director of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium, said…

After attempting to reach the hardest-hit area three times — a harrowing flight that took nearly seven hours — the crew finally succeeded, opening up a lifeline for hundreds of people, including many children, to…
The Pentagon has pulled a host of top military officials from attending a major security conference in Colorado that was set to start Tuesday, arguing that the event is anti-American and goes against the values of the Trump administration.”The Department of Defense has no interest in legitimizing an organization that has invited former officials who have been the architects of chaos abroad and failure at home,” Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson said in a statement.The conference in question is the Aspen Security Forum — an event put on annually by the Aspen Institute, a nonprofit organization — and it is…
I confess that I don’t really understand the crossover between the right to keep and bear arms and the enjoyment of a fresh cup of joe, but after the success of Black Rifle Coffee Company there’s no shortage of similar Second Amendment-supporting brands. Most of those companies have focused on beans and coffee grounds that can be purchased online and shipped to your home, but one Marine veteran in Georgia is blending his love of guns and coffee with a new range and coffee shop that he hopes will catch on with his local community……
This article was originally published by Rhoda Wilson at The Exposé. Despite Bill Gates attempting to claim a Dutch court has no jurisdiction over him, the court case against him and 16 other defendants went ahead on Wednesday. Two lawyers were representing seven vaccine-injured claimants: Arno van Kessel and Peter Stassen. In June, the day after submitting documents for the initial proceedings, van Kessel was arrested and taken away blindfolded by a team of semi-military police. He is still being held in the Netherlands’ highest-security prison. So, on Wednesday, Stassen represented the 7 claimants on his own. Speaking after the hearing,…
The best hunting pants are not just about the camo. A great pair of hunting pants matches the environment in which you choose to pursue wild game. Rain pants don’t make sense in the desert, but are vital in the Pacific Northwest. Insulated pants might work for a late-season elk hunt, but would likely be too hot for the rut. Below are top choices that cover a wide variety of needs. These are the pants that my fellow GearJunkie editors, I, and our hunting partners wore in the field last season. They’re the hunting pants we’ll wear again this year.…
