For a lot of rifle shooters, “Mauser 98” is shorthand for one of the best actions on the planet. Featruing controlled round feed, a big non rotating claw extractor, and a design that has been copied, tweaked, and argued about for well over a century, the new M98 Das Original leans into that legacy by sticking with the familiar action while layering in upgraded finishes, high grade wood, and chamberings that range from .308 to .416 Rigby, plus a first time factory .300 Winchester Magnum option for the platform. From the price tag alone, one can infer that this is…
“We need tighter gun laws.”Every time there’s a high-profile shooting, someone comes out of the woodwork to say just this. Never mind that we don’t necessarily know anything about how the shooter got a gun; the answer is always gun control in their minds. Take the shooting at a high school hockey game in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.Yes, this is tragic, and it’s not something we should ever see happen at high school sporting events. What’s also tragic is just how predictable these anti-gunners actually are.Child safety advocates renewed calls for tighter gun control measures following…
A GoFundMe has been set up for Army veteran Randy Santiago Cruz, a Seattle Seahawks fan who died two days before Super Bowl LX.Cruz, 72, of southwest Washington drew attention after the Seahawks sent him a “Salute to Service” care package while he received end-of-life care and rooted for his team, according to a Feb. 16 report by FOX 13 Seattle. Cruz reportedly hoped to live long enough to watch the big game taking place Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., when his Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots, but died two days before the contest.His family…
With Democrat legislators pushing the most anti-gun bills in recent history through the Virginia General Assembly, including a very restrictive ban on semi-auto firearms and gun magazines, many gun owners in the state thought things couldn’t get much worse. Time to think again. HB 1542 would prohibit carrying “assault firearms” in public places, including streets, sidewalks, and parks. And according to a report from the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA), the way the measure is written makes it far more dangerous than it seems. “Because of vague definitions, HB 1524 effectively criminalizes carrying any center-fire semi-automatic firearm…
The U.S. Virgin Islands government is currently being sued by the Department of Justice over several of its draconian gun laws, but the litigation isn’t stopping the territory’s legislature from working to enact even more restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms. Now the territory’s sole Second Amendment advocacy group claims the legislature is suppressing the voices of gun owners, in part by scheduling hearings with little advance notice. Getting to the legislature to testify can be a time consuming ordeal for those who don’t live on the island where hearings are taking…
This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News. Introduction For years, the cumulative damage from decades of martial arts training lingered as a low-grade, ever-present pain. A damaged finger and a back that protested at the thought of a jog were my constant companions. The Western medical system offered little promise other than suggesting painkillers or invasive surgeries, options rooted in a profit-driven model that rarely addresses root causes [1]. As someone deeply committed to natural health and self-reliance, I was profoundly skeptical of any so-called ‘miracle cure.’ That skepticism was challenged, however, by the discovery of BPC-157,…
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…

If you ever needed a clean, real-world example of how broken New York’s gun laws are, this is it. Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Rasheed Walker was arrested at LaGuardia Airport after doing exactly what responsible gun owners are told to do: he declared a legally owned firearm in his checked luggage. The gun was lawfully owned in Wisconsin.It was locked in a gun case.It was declared to the airline. And that was enough for New York to slap the cuffs on him anyway. New York is not a gun-friendly place. Walker should’ve known the risks involved with bringing a…
In the world of night vision and NVG accessories, there’s two extremes. Cheap airsoft gear that won’t last, and expensive, quality equipment. On rare occasion, a company offers an option that’s both affordable, and durable. That’s the price point the Holosun LS321g resides in, but does the product deliver the quality? Let’s dig in. Tech Specs: Class IIIa visible green laser @ 5mW Class II infrared laser IR illuminator 7075 aluminum anodized housing Quick release rail mount CR123 battery From 8-5000 hours battery life depending on mode Activation button and included pressure pad IP67 immersion rating 8.6 ounces 3.6″x2.2″x1.6″ Use…
I’ve never quite understood the whole murder-suicide thing, with the exception of something like the end of The Mist. That one, I get. Beyond that? It’s never made a lick of sense. While I don’t condone it, I can at least understand wanting someone else dead. I understand being convinced the world is better off without you, even though that’s almost never true. But at least anti-gun states like California don’t have to worry about someone having a number of guns they can use in a murder-suicide, right? I mean, even if it doesn’t make…
The shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse killed by federal agents in Minneapolis on January 24, 2026, has become radioactive almost instantly. Everyone rushed to pick a team. Pro-ICE versus anti-ICE. Pro-Trump versus anti-Trump. Gun people versus non-gun people. And in the middle of all that noise, the actual facts and the Constitution started getting trampled. I think Noir hit it outta the park with his analysis. Constitutional consistency matters. That’s why Colion Noir’s breakdown matters. He didn’t run cover for anyone; he didn’t play partisan defense. He didn’t pretend ugly facts weren’t ugly. And, he did…
Springfield Armory is known for making high-quality, superbly-crafted 1911s already. That is a reputation that has been long-cemented from their decades of work with the platform, but with their most recent collaboration they kicked up a notch even higher. While at SHOT Show 2026, they announced the new Springfield Armory 10-8 Performance Master Class 1911. Springfield Armory 10-8 Performance Master Class 1911 The new Springfield Armory 10-8 Performance Master Class 1911 has an MSRP of $2,099, which is only $100 more than their TRP (Tactical Response Pistol) yet this new offering has a bevy of additional, desirable features imbued into…
There are five main national Second Amendment advocacy groups in the United States. All of them and/or their sister organizations have indicated they’re in communications with the Trump Administration. While this is not a completely exhaustive list, it’s safe to say there are five big national Second Amendment advocacy groups in the U.S. Those groups each have sister organizations and in some cases multiple offshoots — even some have political action committees. After talking to representatives and/or top leaders of each organization, the clear message is: yes, they’re all communicating with the White House.The groups…
“I’m in a dirty, black F-350.” That was the text I received from Jimmy Durham, Lead Instructor for Outdoor Solutions, as I walked out of baggage claim to ground transportation at the Tulsa airport. Of course, he was in a giant, jacked-up, dirty truck. I wouldn’t expect anything else from a Texas-based hunting guide and shooting expert. And the dirty part is good. The cleanliness of your guide’s truck is a direct reflection of its proficiency. If it’s sparkly clean, you should be concerned. I don’t make the rules. Inside, I was met with a rugged, bearded face to match…
The right to keep and bear arms is specifically framed as one that shall not be infringed. Unfortunately, too many people think “shall not be infringed” means “we can infringe upon it all we want, so long as it’s our side doing the infringement.” That means that we keep seeing the same tired gun control bills year after year. The locations change, but the arguments rarely do.In New Mexico, though, they’re trying something that’s relatively new, though just as wrong. They’re considering a bill that will target gun stores as well as banning the sale…
American songwriter Bruce Springsteen released a new protest song this week addressing recent immigration enforcement actions in Minneapolis, drawing immediate national attention for both its subject matter and its timing. Have you heard the song yet? If not, take a listen. According to CBS News, Springsteen debuted the song around midday Eastern Time on Wednesday, announcing it through Instagram and releasing it publicly on YouTube (watch it below). In his post, Springsteen said the song was written, recorded, and released within just a few days in direct response to what he described as “state terror” unfolding in Minneapolis. He dedicated…
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The End of the American Dream. We were expecting global events to accelerate in 2026, but what we have witnessed throughout the month of January so far has been quite a shock to the system. Everywhere around us, things are going totally haywire. Gold and silver are skyrocketing in price, we are on the verge of a cataclysmic war with Iran, conflict has erupted on the streets of major U.S. cities, and we just keep getting hammered by natural disaster after natural disaster. So many things are happening that I couldn’t…
Stockpiling is pretty much the beginning and ending of prepping. I say that because it’s generally the first thing any of us do. We often start out stockpiling even before deciding that we’re going to become preppers.At the same time, most of us are still adding to our stockpiles long after we finish all our other prepping projects. It seems like we never truly finish the process of stockpiling. Part of this is because stockpiling is rather expensive, especially if you want to stockpile enough supplies to last a full year. While there is no guarantee that a year’s worth will…
