Civil unrest in Iran. And the reported arrests of people allegedly building homemade firearms offers a stark reminder of what happens when an authoritarian government loses its grip, according to the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA). According to Reuters, Iranian authorities have detained an unspecified number of individuals accused of manufacturing improvised pistols as protests spread across the country. Multiple reports indicate that demonstrators have been killed as security forces attempt to suppress growing resistance to the regime. CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb said the situation reflects a familiar historical pattern: when governments disarm their…
The United States is continually upping the ante, escalating already tight tensions in several regions of the world. Now, the military has attempted to board a Russian-flagged oil tanker in the North Atlantic. UPDATE: Since the original writing of this article, U.S. European Command (EUCOM) confirmed on X that the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security, in coordination with the Department of Defense, seized the Russian-flagged oil tanker Marinera (formerly Bella 1) for violating U.S. sanctions. The Russian media outlet RT News has posted footage that appears to show U.S. military forces attempting to board the Russian-flagged tanker Marinera early Wednesday…
The death of TikTok was exaggerated, and it continues to grow (under American ownership, now) beyond its dance-clip roots. Preppers are everywhere, and one of the main hallmarks of preparedness is information sharing, so it makes sense that TikTok has become a platform with thousands of preppers sharing videos.Some creators promote preparedness products, others share practical prepping advice, and even more do both. There are preppers out there sharing videos with their tens of followers, but the best accounts are resonating with hundreds of thousands. We’ll share more about TikTok preppers and the top 10 accounts to follow below. Contents…
There’s no telling where you’ll find cryptocurrency these days. I spent some of my winter break hiking near the small town of Brevard, N.C., where I was surprised to see a Bitcoin ATM advertised on the sign of a gas station that looked like it was built in the 1960s. A quick Google search shows about a half dozen such ATMs in this popular tourist town with a population under 8,000. Well, MyWhoosh seems hip to the crypto-scene as well, since the virtual cycling app just announced a monthly treasure hunt offering Bitcoin — or at least, pieces of a…
Over the past few years, a number of Democrat-controlled states have instituted “lost or stolen” laws that require gun owners to report the loss or theft of a firearm to police within a mandated time period (typically 24 to 48 hours) or else face charges of their own. These laws are rarely, if ever, enforced, but they’re still an affront to justice by turning the victims of crime into criminals themselves. Now a Republican state legislator in Utah has introduced a bill that could also turn a lawful gun owner into a criminal; not for…
Weatherby is expanding its RPM cartridge family with the launch of the 25 WBY RPM (Rebated Precision Magnum), a fast-twist quarter-bore designed to push modern, high-BC bullets at true magnum velocities without the bulk of a traditional magnum rifle. The new 25 RPM is engineered around Weatherby’s Mark V six-lug action. It uses a refined RPM case with a rebated rim, minimal body taper, and a 35-degree shoulder. The goal is efficiency. More usable case capacity, consistent performance, and an overall length that supports today’s long, heavy-for-caliber projectiles. With a 1:7.5 twist rate, the 25 RPM is optimized for bullets…
Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly said that United States ruler Donald Trump is seeking a “peaceful transfer” of Greenland from Denmark. This would be a “purchase,” in which the U.S. would buy the Arctic island from Denmark instead of using the military to take it over. “President Trump has made it well known that acquiring Greenland is a national security priority of the United States, and it’s vital to deter our adversaries in the Arctic region,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said. She added that using the military is “always an option at the commander-in-chief’s disposal.” Danish Prime Minister Mette…
A rapid hiring blitz that added about 12,000 officers to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in less than a year is now drawing scrutiny on Capitol Hill as lawmakers question whether the agency lowered training standards to meet aggressive recruitment targets.ICE, under the authority of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), announced Jan. 3 that it expanded its workforce by roughly 120% after a nationwide recruitment campaign added more than 12,000 officers and agents—growing the agency from about 10,000 personnel to more than 22,000. ICE officials said much of that growth occurred in just about four months following an…
Gun owners in the Twin Cities suburb of Edina, Minnesota turned out in force at City Hall on Tuesday night as the Edina City Council took another step towards adopting a local gun control ordinance that squarely conflicts with the state’s firearm preemption law. The city council was set to vote on the measure in mid-November, but Mayor James Hovland announced instead that the vote would be delayed until after a public hearing on the ordinance. That special town hall meeting took place on Tuesday night, with residents crowding the council chamber to voice their…
After months of rumors circulating about the National Rifle Association and its sister organization NRA Foundation having a defunct relationship, the Association filed a lawsuit against the Foundation. A release announcing the lawsuit alleges that the Foundation has been “operating in bad faith and withholding funds meant to support the NRA’s charitable activities.” The NRA Foundation is a 501(c)3 that was founded in 1990 to “provide[] a means to raise millions of dollars to fund the NRA’s gun safety and educational projects of benefit to the general public.” Since the Foundation is a 501(c)3, donations…

This article was originally published by George Ford Smith at The Mises Institute. In his 1982 article, “Monetary Policy: Theory and Practice,” Nobel laureate Milton Friedman—no friend of gold—said that, If a domestic money consists of a commodity, a pure gold standard or cowrie bead standard, the principles of monetary policy are very simple. There aren’t any. The commodity money takes care of itself. (emphasis added) It takes care of itself. Consider that thought for a moment, then ask yourself why we’ve had politically-appointed bureaucrats running the money and banking system since 1914? With commodity money, exclusively under the control of a free market,…
The Supreme Court should be a playground for gun rights advocates at the moment. With a strong majority of justices supporting the right to keep and bear arms, we shouldn’t have a problem clearing house of all the unconstitutional gun control laws, even with Rahimi as part of the precedents that the Court will need to consider. The problem is that far too few gun control challenges are making it before the Court. While there are some set for later this year, there are other massive cases that have passed on in the recent past.Most…
