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…
Death Valley National Park’s fragile desert ecosystem took a major hit this week. A truck violated the law by going off-road and damaging several rare plant species. The authorities are seeking the public’s help to find the driver. Now, the park service is asking for any information that could identify the culprits. Death Valley National Park Vandalism: The Incident According to a National Park Service (NPS) press release, on Dec. 17, a white 2021 Toyota Tacoma illegally drove off-road for 5 miles in the Eureka Dunes area of the California national park. The tracks the truck left on the dunes;…
The headline above doesn’t refer to the shooting of Alex Pretti, at least not directly. It’s about what’s happening in Minneapolis, Minnesota now, and it’s absolutely terrifying to the gun control lobby. Firearm instructors say business is booming over the past few weeks, even before Pretti’s death. David Taylor, CEO of Stock & Barrel Gun Clubs, tells NBC News that the club’s concealed carry classes generally bring in “hundreds” of people, but interest has grown fourfold in just the past two weeks. That does not appear to be an anomaly. Five firearm instructors in the Minneapolis area…
As duck hunters, we love our gear. We take pride in loading up and carrying as much as possible to the blind. But some days favor the mobile, minimalistic waterfowlers. Enter the KUIU DeltaStorm 800 Submersible Waistpack. Designed for hunters who must keep their gear dry in the wettest conditions, this waterproof waistpack will replace your traditional blind bag or backpack. Throughout this duck season, I’ve trusted this pack to keep some of my most delicate and valuable gear protected while hunting private and public land. When a minimalistic approach was needed, I buckled the DeltaStorm 800 around my waist…
When Alex Pretti was killed, I never thought it would devolve into a debate about the Second Amendment where Republicans sound like Democrats and vice versa.President Trump himself has made some questionable comments regarding Pretti and his decision to carry a firearm with extra magazines to that particular protest/interference effort. I don’t agree with him at least as he phrased itLee Williams wrote at The Gun Writer about how Trump’s support for the Second Amendment is being questioned.President Donald L. Trump was very clear Tuesday when addressing a gaggle of reporters who were asking questions…
United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Washington could “preemptively” attack Iran. These comments come as U.S. ruler Donald Trump sends a “beautiful armada” of ships to the Middle East and conducts days-long military drills in the region. U.S. Begins Multi-Day Military Drills In The Middle East Rubio acknowledged that any attempt at regime change in Iran would prove difficult. His statement is also in line with Trump’s philosophy, as the threats against Tehran continue to ramp up. While speaking during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Wednesday, Rubio said it was “wise and prudent” to maintain…
Innovation in outdoor gear can often feel like a game of limbo: How low can you go? Or to be more specific: How lightweight can a piece of gear be and still remain functional? That threshold seems ever closer with the debut of HOKA’s 2026 update of the Cielo X1 3.0. Now in its third iteration since the model’s debut in 2024, this super shoe aimed at long-distance running has dropped more weight than a supermodel prepping for the catwalk — and it was already pretty darn lightweight to begin with. When AllGear Editorial Director Sean McCoy tested out the…
Dear Patriot,Our ask is simple: Help us stand with ICE.The men and women of ICE who are arresting and deporting dangerous illegals across the country need our support now more than ever before. With the left-wing media and Democratic politicians calling ICE President Trump’s “Gestapo,” “Nazis,” “the SS,” “fascists,” and more, the truth needs to be told about who’s really creating the chaos and mayhem in Democrat-run sanctuary cities and who’s trying to keep the public safe.The radical Left’s dangerous rhetoric has now resulted in the deaths of two Americans. Due to Democratic politicians and…
Canada’s long-running experiment with compensated gun confiscation is running headfirst into a wall—and this time, it’s coming from inside the country. According to Canadian media reports highlighted by the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, fully half of Canada’s provinces—along with the Northwest Territories and Yukon—are refusing to participate in the federal government’s much-touted gun “buyback” program. In short: Ottawa wants provinces to help collect banned firearms, and a growing number of them are saying, no thanks. CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb shot straight, calling the provincial pushback “long overdue” and describing the buyback for what it…
Jacob Grey Firearms is a manufacturer I’ve had my eye on since getting my hands on their TWC Black last year, a double-stack 1911 that ran flawlessly for me, suppressed and unsuppressed, right out of the box in my June 2025 review. I found the quality and performance remarkable, but soon after discovered that the company’s origins ran deep in the close-tolerance aerospace component business, which is where such extreme attention to detail is no stranger. My TWC Black is the second iteration of Jacob Grey’s double-stack 1911-style handguns, following its predecessor, the TWC9. Since then, the company has released…

I’ve spent way too much time this week taking issue with the Trump administration, including the president himself, for their comments about guns and what people can and can’t do with them. The right to keep and bear arms matters, and it doesn’t evaporate simply because someone is taking part in something you don’t approve of. All other laws apply, and they should, but to say people can’t do a thing they most definitely can is problematic.But as annoying as that is, it’s the other side of the coin I find even more stupid.The Second…
Last Wednesday, Washington lawmakers rolled out House Bill 2320, a proposal that somehow manages to be redundant, vague, and constitutionally radioactive all at once. The pitch: crack down harder on so-called “ghost guns” by banning private use of 3D printers, CNC milling machines, and even digital files that could be used to make firearm parts. The execution? It’s even worse. Supporters of HB 2320 insist they’re just “closing loopholes.” The problem is those loopholes don’t really exist. Manufacturing “untraceable firearms” is already illegal under Washington law, a fact even local media reporting acknowledged. As KOMO News reported, lawmakers argue the…
