Just as I pass the outskirts of town, I peg the accelerator. Both electric motors immediately engage and force me against the seatback. The C-HR charges forward with the pull of a Porsche and the smoothness of a bullet train. Moments later, I momentarily see triple-digit speeds. Whoa! This is not your father’s C-HR. Or, perhaps, your older siblings’ C-HR. After all, Toyota introduced us to the last C-HR in Los Angeles in 2016, ahead of its 2018 model year debut, which ended after 2022. That cute, but wheezy sub-compact crossover rocked all of 144 horsepower. This one? More. Returning…
The Department of Veterans Affairs is making a major change in its policies towards veterans who’ve had a fiduciary appointed to help manage their benefits. For decades, having a fiduciary meant that the veteran was reported to the FBI’s National Instant Check System as a prohibited person because the VA saw that as being adjudicated as mentally defective. On Tuesday, VA Secretary Doug Collins announced that will no longer be the case.This corrects a three-decade-old wrong that deprived many thousands of Veterans in VA’s Fiduciary Program of their constitutional right to own a firearm without…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. Remember Obama’s 2012 Colombian prostitution scandal? Turns out, Jeffrey Epstein was involved… Newly released Department of Justice documents from the Epstein files have exposed a previously unknown connection between a 2012 White House advance-team scandal in Cartagena, Colombia, and Kathryn Ruemmler – the former Obama White House counsel who later became Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer. Ruemmler resigned from Goldman late last week, after the latest Epstein document dump revealed her extensive, affectionate, and years-long correspondence with the convicted sex offender. The emails show she called him “Uncle Jeffrey,” accepted expensive gifts, and turned to him for advice on…
If someone wants to take their life, and they own a firearm, they’re likely to use it, unfortunately. If they don’t have one, they might buy one, or they might look for some other way to provide a permanent end to a temporary problem. Either way, the issue with suicides isn’t about guns, but about the mental health crises that lead to them. But, last month, a study was released that supposedly linked so-called ghost guns–unserialized firearms, typically made at home via various means–to suicides.I wasn’t impressed by the study.But, unsurprisingly, The Trace was. They…

“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…
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K.. Dhillon, who’s also the unofficial Second Amendment czar of the Trump administration as far as I’m concerned, is once again charging into the legal fray over a state-level gun control law. Dhillon and the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division have filed an amicus brief in Granata v. Thomas; a challenge to Massachusetts’ “Approved Firearms Roster.” For the moment, and at the time Granata was filed, the roster covered handguns approved for sale in the state. Under Chapter 135, though, the roster is supposed to include state-approved long guns as well.The roster is…
What initially looked like a tragic, chaotic home invasion in northeast Houston has now come into sharper—and uglier—focus. Police say two suspects have been charged with capital murder in the early-morning home invasion that killed 72-year-old Linda Martinez, and the details paint a picture of betrayal, criminal failure, and a system that didn’t stop it in time. According to Houston police, the shooting happened around 1:50 a.m. on January 26 at a home on Lockwood Drive. Investigators now say the suspects—Richard Mouton, 34, and Tajuana Thomas, 38—weren’t random burglars. Thomas had previously lived at the home after being released from…
Greenland said that it has warned the United States of its clear “red lines” that it will not cross in talks over its future with Washington. The island’s prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, has said that he won’t go into details, but that the “conclusion is already written.” Greenland has been on the Trump administration’s wish list of takeovers. The autonomous Danish territory has been at the center of a transatlantic rift since U.S. ruler Donald Trump announced plans to annex it, citing its mineral wealth and strategic location, while refusing to rule out force and threatening tariffs on opponents of…
Based on what we’ve seen (and heard), Shokz is making some big strides. The pioneer in bone-conduction headphones is expanding into the broader personal audio space with some of its recent releases, including its OpenFit family of earbuds. The latest from Shokz, the OpenFit Pro, might just be the brand’s best earbuds yet. Earlier this month at CES, I got some ears-on time with the award-winning OpenFit Pro headphones. And honestly, I wasn’t prepared to be as amazed by the audio performance as I was. OpenFit Pro Earbuds: What’s New The OpenFit Pro ($250) is the first OpenFit model to…
Studies have long shown that gun buybacks don’t actually have any kind of impact on public safety here in the United States. The reason for this is pretty simple. The people you’re trying to disarm with a buyback are rarely the people who take advantage of one. If they do, it’s to dispose of a gun that could connect them to a crime. Bad people who want to do bad things aren’t going to give up their guns anymore than good people who take their personal protection seriously will.This is well known, though it’s typically…
By Matt Manda SHOT Show® 2026 brought several governors to Las Vegas who are actively in the hunt for business — literally making their pitch to firearm and ammunition industry businesses to relocate into their friendlier states and away from more adversarial, antigun ones. The 5th Annual NSSF Governors’ Forum provided a great opportunity for numerous top heads of state to discuss their successes, what they are doing to protect Second Amendment rights for their citizens and highlight what they have to offer to an industry that must remain cognizant of changing political winds ahead. Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders,…
Race-proven parts are now available straight from the factory in a limited-edition machine. The Polaris RZR Pro R Ultra Edition brings us the first factory-integrated, electronically controlled, hydraulic locking sway bar links. Polaris says this sway control system, DYNAMIX DVS, is a major reason its race team won every major UTV race in 2025, took the 2025 SCORE Series Championship, and got back-to-back Baja 1000 wins. So, it’s now offering the tech to the masses — or at least 500 more people than ever before. (Photo/Polaris) On the Fly Sway Control The idea with sway bar disconnect systems is to…
Virginia Democrats have advanced several more gun control bills in the state Senate, including legislation designed to make it easier to sue gun makers, distributors, and sellers over the actions of criminals and a “permit-to-purchase” measure that would completely upend the process of buying a gun in the Commonwealth. The bill is so poorly conceived that even one of the Democrats on the Senate Courts of Justice Committee had a problem with one of its provisions. Discussing permit to purchase (SB643). Dem Senator Perry pointed out that the requirement that you have a permit before you…
Crime figures for 2025 show a drastic reduction in homicides compared to the previous year. Additionally, Americans continued purchasing more than 1 million guns each month during both 2024 and 2025. So, why isn’t the media saying something about this more guns, less crime trend? That’s what the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) wants to know. “Newly-released data from the Council on Criminal Justice (CCJ) has unintentionally revealed the deceptive nature of rhetoric from the gun prohibition lobby, and it’s time for the media to start asking the tough questions,” CCRKBA said in a…
The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia have denied United States President Donald Trump the airspace needed for his “beautiful armada.” Trump sent the ships toward Iran as a show of force, or as what many have said was the first step in an imminent attack. Anonymous Sources Say That A U.S. Attack on Iran Is Imminent Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in a phone call on Tuesday that the kingdom “will not allow its airspace or territory to be used for any military actions against Iran.” This news came shortly after an announcement on…
This article originally appeared on The Inertia. A pair of lost hikers rewarded their rescuers’ efforts by sticking them with a hotel bill. To add insult to injury, the pair also made off with two headlamps that had been lent to them during their retrieval. As Wasdale Mountain Rescue explained in a Facebook post, the rescue occurred on Dec. 30, 2025, after two hikers became lost in dangerous weather conditions on England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike. The resulting operation, which Wasdale Mountain Rescue tactfully described as “avoidable,” took 7 hours to complete. Upon the hikers’ safe return, the bar manager…
Deployments of the United States National Guard to cities across the country have cost American taxpayers roughly $600 million, according to new data published by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO).The CBO, which for decades has provided Congress with economic and budget analyses, said Wednesday that to date upwards of $589 million has been spent by the Trump administration’s deployment of Guard soldiers into cities including Portland, Los Angeles, Chicago, Memphis, as well as Washington, D.C. CBO estimates that the totality of those deployments, excluding the deployment to New Orleans that occurred at the end of last year, cost approximately $496…
