There’s no doubt that Missouri is one of, if not the most, pro-gun states in the nation. I mean, this is a state that took sanctuary status for the Second Amendment and enshrined it into law via the Second Amendment Preservation Act. Unfortunately, that law was overturned by the courts, which cited the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. (Cool, now do immigration sanctuary laws, guys.)Now, the state is once again considering how to bulk up its protections for the gun rights of Missourians, while trying not to cross the line where the law gets smacked…
Regional organizations unite to strategize on Second Amendment defense The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) is organizing the first-ever New England Firearms Advocacy Conference, scheduled for May 30, 2026, at Castle of Knights in Chicopee, Massachusetts. The event brings together six regional Second Amendment organizations: Connecticut Citizens Defense League, Massachusetts Gun Owners’ Action League, Gun Owners of Maine, New Hampshire Firearms Coalition, Rhode Island 2nd Amendment Coalition, and Vermont Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs. Conference chair Holly Sullivan, who serves as CCRKBA Director, explained the strategic thinking behind the regional approach. “We wanted to create…
The Florida Department of Health’s officials have released an update on a measles outbreak at a university. There have been 46 confirmed cases of measles across Collier County from January 1st to February 7th. Fifty-seven students at Ave Maria University are quarantined, so far, as the school works on providing free vaccinations to those who may want them. The vigorous campaign to vaccinate the masses is being promoted as a way to protect the community. Local fire departments are also working closely with health officials to hand out vaccines. Collier County has said that the majority of the Ave Maria University…
Most flipper knives require a bit of actual flipping to open the blade. But with the WEKnife Speedliner, a late 2024 introduction designed by Tashi Bharucha, it’s more like pulling a trigger. WEKnife sent me a Speedliner Flipper Knife with a titanium handle around the holidays. I hadn’t sought it out, but it arrived with a brief note of thanks and carried my name on the handle. I didn’t think much of reviewing it until now, a couple of months later, as it has really earned a spot in my daily rotation. While the Speedliner seemed to garner a lukewarm…
New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment…and unconstitutional gun control. How is a state, with a population of just over two million people, always the vetting ground for gun control zealots’ bright ideas? Before legislation is handed over to legislators in “un-gun friendly” states like California, Illinois, New York and Washington, it always seems like gun control groups like Michael Bloomberg backed Everytown, or Giffords use New Mexico as a beta-test to see how much “they” can get away with before ending up arguing before SCOTUS. Under the abysmal “leadership” of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, the answer to violence committed…
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Dallas, TX — GunsAmerica, one of the longest-operating online firearms marketplaces founded in 1997, today announced its 2026 Best of SHOT Show Industry Impact Awards, recognizing products introduced at SHOT Show 2026 that are positioned to shape dealer ordering patterns and consumer purchasing interest in the year ahead.

As I make my way around a hairpin left, a 30-degree slope enters my vision. Undeterred, I turn on X-mode and start to ascend. The Dunlop Grandtrek all-terrain tires momentarily slip and strain as I climb. But the 2026 Toyota BZ Woodland dutifully marches up the grade, greeting me with a stunning vista of rolling hills and avocado farms beneath me as the cobalt Pacific Ocean wafts in the distance. With 8.4 inches of ground clearance, standard all-wheel drive, and nearly 400 pound-feet of torque to play with, the bZ Woodland makes ventures like this comfortable. And, thankfully, I only…
New Mexico’s legislature is supposed to adjourn at noon on Thursday, and the next 48 hours are going to be a chaotic rush to move bills before the deadline. Gun owners and FFLs in the state got a small bit of good news early Tuesday morning, when a House committee delayed a vote on SB 17, but it’s still far too soon to declare victory. The House Judiciary committee didn’t take up the sweeping gun ban and gun dealer bill until late Monday evening, and after about an hour of discussion decided to hold off…
In the quiet countryside of Polk County, Florida, long-range steel targets ring out past 500 yards and sometimes far beyond. According to a report from Gulf Coast News, civilians are training in what some describe as “military-style” skills at facilities like Bone Valley Industries, where retired Air Force two-star Gen. Rick “RB” Mattson is now a co-owner. What used to be considered an impressive 500-yard shot, Mattson says, is no longer unusual. Modern rifles, optics, and training have expanded civilian capability dramatically (don’t we know it!). Sharing the same grounds is another company, Barrel & Hatchet, owned in part by…
With things looking dire for the Hawaiian government in the current challenge to its restrictive carry laws before the U.S. Supreme Court, anti-gun lawmakers in the Aloha State are already scheming to continue infringing the Second Amendment rights of lawful gun owners. At issue in the case Wolford v. Lopez is Hawaii’s so-called “vampire rule,” which was passed in response to the 2022 Supreme Court ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Assoc. v. Bruen. The law forbids concealed carry of firearms on private property open to the public, such as restaurants, gas stations and grocery stores, without the…
The updated Winchester Model 70 Featherweight doesn’t try to reinvent a legend. Instead, it refines a rifle that never needed fixing, while preserving the qualities that made the Model 70 a trusted hunting tool for generations. This is still a working rifle first. It just happens to look — and function — like the one your grandfather carries — right down to the shnabel forend and red rubber recoil pad. French Walnut, Done the Right Way Winchester released four new configurations at SHOT Show. The Featherweight AA French model, shown here, pairs modern production with traditional materials. The French walnut…
SHOT Show 2026 brought an early look at two upcoming Holosun optics built around integrated IR and VIS laser capability. At the Holosun booth, Brandon walked through the AEMS Dual Pro and the ARO EVO Dual. AEMS Dual Pro Overview The Holosun AEMS Dual Pro uses a housing slightly larger than the AEMS Pro X2 but smaller than the AEMS Pro Max. Flip caps remain on the optic, with a single CR123 battery powering the system. Controls split cleanly by side. Brightness up, brightness down, and the activation button for visible or IR laser sits on the left. A dedicated…
The Department of War is looking to enhance its ability to target its enemies using artificial intelligence, or “killer AI”. But it’s clashing with Anthropic over safeguards that the ruling class does not want. Head of the Department of War, Pete Hegseth, a Christian Nationalist, vowed not to use artificial intelligence models that “won’t allow you to fight wars.” The new age of warfare is approaching quickly, and it doesn’t look like the ruling class is interested in reigning in its terror. Sources familiar with this dispute between the Department of War and Anthropic say the battle is over safeguards…
Chiappa (pronounced “Kee-Ahppa”) scales up the Rhino revolver to handle .44 Magnum, reinforcing the frame and cylinder while keeping its low-bore, bottom-firing design. Since the cylinder is longer than other models, Chiappa also improved the design with the addition of a gas pedal. This also doubles as an index point to keep your fingers out of the blast zone. A Rhino Built for a Bigger Cartridge The key update to the Rhino platform is size. Chiappa reworked the revolver to safely manage .44 Magnum pressures and recoil. That meant strengthening the frame, enlarging the cylinder, and tuning the internals for…
It’s been more than a week since Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes made her controversial statement that the state’s “Stand Your Ground” law could lead to someone shooting at immigration agents, and the furor has yet to die down. In fact, Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs is calling on her fellow Democrat to retract her comments, calling them inappropriate. As we reported at the time, Mayes’ remarks took a swipe at both Stand Your Ground and the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, with the Attorney General falsely claiming that the, “Stand Your Ground law makes…
Public shooting ranges almost never die in dramatic fashion. There are no midnight votes. No sweeping bans. No bold headlines announcing “Shooting Declared Illegal.” Instead, ranges vanish the way old trails do—first with a sign, then a study, then a temporary closure that quietly becomes permanent. Arizona House Bill 2763 exists because two lawmakers decided they’d seen that movie enough times. Introduced by Representatives Quang H. Nguyen and Gail Griffin, HB 2763 doesn’t expand gun rights. It doesn’t deregulate firearms. It doesn’t even change who can use a range. Instead, it asks a far more uncomfortable question: Who gets to…
“Gun control works.”It’s said so much that it’s more of a case of a self-talk mantra than a serious argument, especially in light of all the actual evidence showing that it doesn’t. Still, they say it, and not just to themselves. They expect us to listen. And to prove the supposed necessity of it, they trot out sob stories of people who lost loved ones to so-called gun violence, often lacking the details of how the killer got a gun; usually, they got it illegally.But for me, I simply have to ask how, if gun…

Around noon on July 26, 1950, several hundred South Korean villagers sat on a railroad embankment near the hamlet of No Gun Ri. American soldiers had ordered them there, searched their belongings, and promised safe passage south. Then the soldiers left.Planes suddenly strafed the crowd of men, women, and children. The survivors scrambled for cover beneath a concrete railroad bridge as soldiers opened fire from nearby positions. What followed became one of the deadliest acts committed by U.S. troops against civilians in the 20th century.For the next three days, soldiers of the 7th Cavalry Regiment poured rifle and machine gun…
