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…

The Ford Explorer has been an SUV staple for over 35 years. Early versions were capable off-roaders featuring truck-like amenities, such as a solid rear axle, two-speed transfer cases, and even five-speed manual transmissions. But, like many longer-running SUV nameplates, Explorer evolved. Nowadays, it offers car-like unibody construction, independent suspension, and a more compliant on-road demeanor. There’s even an on-road performance ST version. While the sporty ST lives on for 2026, Ford is also now offering a version focused on taming trails versus pounding pavement. Enter the 2026 Explorer Tremor. In short: The Explorer, like many other Ford truck and…

Several gun control organizations have shifted their messaging over the past couple of years in an attempt to prove they’re not out to eradicate the Second Amendment .Everytown for Gun Safety, for instance, is now offering gun training of a sort, though so far its more about teaching the basics of gun safety alongside a heaping portion of anti-gun rhetoric.  Giffords, whose founder told Time magazine that her goal was “no more guns,”, has GIFFORDS Gun Owners for Safety to serve as useful idiots for the group’s larger mission. And in the wake of the…

This article was originally published by Rhoda Wilson at The Exposé. A research paper published earlier this month states that one of the researchers’ aims is to develop a vaccine to overcome vaccine hesitancy.  The method chosen to spread the vaccine among the population is a self-replicating RNA (srRNA) or self-amplifying mRNA (saRNA or sa-mRNA, samRNA), also referred to as replicon vaccines. This gain-of-function research is being supported by the US military. The Architects of Destruction Are Busy at Work By Dr. Guy Hatchard, 20 January 2026 Newly published research papers demonstrate that gain-of-function research designed to investigate the effects of deadly pathogens is…

First introduced in late 2002 as a 2003 model, the Honda Pilot is an attractive, roomy, and durable three-row SUV that has built up a loyal following among U.S. family buyers. Sharing the same platform as the Honda Odyssey minivan and the more up-market Acura MDX, the Pilot is produced at the automaker’s Lincoln, Ala., assembly plant. A fourth-generation Pilot was launched for the 2023 model year and was aimed at Toyota’s own three-row package, the Grand Highlander. Pilot gets a modest mid-cycle update for 2026. It’s offered in six different trims, from base Sport to more exclusive Black Edition,…

There are way too many gun control laws in this country, even at just the federal level. When you get into the laws in a state like New York, though, it gets beyond ridiculous. And many of the people who are screaming about Alex Pretti and talking a big game about taking on ICE supported those laws. They wanted to keep guns out of the hands of people like you and me, not because they think the criminals get them from us, but because they simply don’t like what we might do with them if…
