When I grew up, Minnesota was the kind of state where you figured nothing much happened. Sure, sports were a thing, obviously, but the Vikings couldn’t even win a Super Bowl–then again, neither can my Failcons, so who am I to judge–and it was just one of those states that was kind of there. These days, it’s the epicenter of pretty much everything wrong with this country. If you need violence to break out anywhere, it’ll probably start in Minnesota.And as they start their legislative session there, it seems that the main focuses are going…
Most TTAG readers likely know U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, as a vehemently anti-gun lawmaker who is famous for her nonsensical comments and greatly inflated sense of self-importance. That extremely high level of conceit has led Crockett to run for the state Senate in the Lone Star State, where the majority of voters have little patience for idiots or gun-grabbers. Now, just months before the Senate election, the National Shooting Sports Foundation is pointing out Rep. Crockett’s hypocrisy on firearms, including the extremely exorbitant amount of money she spends on her personal armed security. According to a news report by…
Despite a United States-backed ceasefire that has been in effect since October 2025, the death toll in Gaza has topped 600. That number eclipses the thousands when accounting for those wounded in Palestine since the ceasefire officially began. According to a report by RT, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said on Monday that 603 people had been killed and more than 1,600 injured since the ceasefire came into force on October 11th, 2025. An unspecified number of bodies “remain under the rubble and in the streets,” as rescue teams cannot safely reach many areas, the officials added. It sure…
After a massive storm deposited feet of snow across the Sierras, 15 backcountry travelers were caught in an avalanche near Truckee, Calif., on Tuesday. Six of them were successfully evacuated by search and rescue (SAR). According to reports on Wednesday, nine members of the party remain missing. That makes this the most significant avalanche burial incident in the U.S. in the last decade. The group included 11 skiers traveling with four guides from Blackbird Mountain Guides. They were returning from a hut trip near Frog Lake and were navigating avalanche terrain as they exited. The avalanche occurred around 11:30 a.m.,…
The sweeping gun ban bill in New Mexico that also includes a broad number of new mandates for federally licensed firearms dealers is on the verge of defeat, but Second Amendment advocates need to continue to keep up their pressure on lawmakers. As we reported on Tuesday, the House Judiciary committee did not take a vote on SB 17 during its meeting late Monday/early Tuesday. Instead, the committee said it needed more time to read through a number of proposed amendments. With the legislative session expiring at noon on Thursday, every hour of delay makes…
The snowpack in Colorado is dismal, and warm temperatures across the state aren’t helping. Earlier this month, Vail Resorts announced that skier visits are down 20% this year as a result of the poor conditions. Ikon resorts must be feeling the sting, too. On Tuesday, Jan. 27, Ikon sent its pass holders an email offering $20 vouchers for anyone willing to come and ski in these less-than-ideal conditions. All you have to do is register for the “Ski & Ride Reward Program” online. Then, go ski and ride at any U.S. Ikon Pass destination. For each day you do (up…
I wasn’t expecting to find futuristic footwear at a nerdy electronics show. So, when I saw Fitasy’s booth at CES, I did a double-take. The brand was debuting eye-catching, monochrome recovery kicks called the Stride, which featured some fancy technology I hadn’t seen before. To make them, Fitasy takes a custom scan of your feet and prints shoes tailored to your foot’s dimensions. Cinderella would be envious of the fit. Naturally, I had to try these things on. And I’m not gonna lie, they impressed me. What Makes the Fitasy Stride 3D-Printed Recovery Shoes Unique (Photo/Fitasy) These mesh-like, rubbery shoes are…
When it comes to bills seeking to restrict so-called assault weapons, most of us don’t have to go looking for reasons to oppose them. They’re a blatant infringement on our right to keep and bear arms. They run directly counter to what our Founding Fathers wanted for us. While proponents of these bans lament that these “weapons of war” are on our streets, that’s exactly what the framers wanted. They wanted us to be able to meet the forces of a tyrannical government on as even a field as was possible.In Virginia, there’s just such…
Plenty of Americans still might not even recognize an Ineos when they see one on the road. But the off-road and overlanding crowd should know this upstart automaker well by now. Surprisingly, Ineos can report with pride that after two model years on sale, over 12,000 vehicles now roam the United States. That’s out of 30,000 sold globally after originally launching the Grenadier worldwide for model year 2023. Now, for 2026, Ineos wants to show that a new automaker believes in listening to customer feedback. For this model year, a new “Black Edition” joins the lineup with the same aesthetic…
It’s no surprise to see the federal government trample on gun rights time and again. But the latest stunt from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) takes the cake. On January 26, 2026, the ATF filed a “Statement of Interest” in a purely civil patent infringement lawsuit between Rare Breed Triggers and Hoffman Tactical. This isn’t about crime or national security; it’s a business dispute over intellectual property. Yet here comes Uncle Sam, sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong, all in the name of “public safety.” If this doesn’t scream anti-2A…
According to about a dozen media reports focusing on the U.S. Supreme Court case challenging Hawaii’s ban on concealed carry on private properties with public access, the court seems poised to rule that law unconstitutional. The case Wolford v. Lopez challenges the “vampire law” Hawaii passed following the 2022 Bruen ruling. The law forbids concealed carry of firearms on private property open to the public, such as restaurants, gas stations and grocery stores, without the property owner’s express consent. Hawaii claims the law should stand because of traditions in place when it was still a kingdom, not part of the United States.…
A leading group of atomic scientists has said that humanity is ticking closer to the end, and reset the doomsday clock to reflect their assessment. The scientists have warned that the Ukraine conflict and last summer’s Israel war have forced them to worry a little more about a possible nuclear war. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved its Doomsday Clock 5 seconds closer to midnight. It is now set to 85 seconds to midnight, reflecting the group’s assessment of the growing danger. The clock is updated each January as the global geopolitical climate is assessed. The international community is…
WASHINGTON — National Transportation Safety Board members were deeply troubled Tuesday over years of ignored warnings about helicopter traffic dangers and other problems, long before an American Airlines jet and an Army Black Hawk collided a year ago, killing 67 people near Washington, D.C.A helicopter route in the approach path of a Reagan National Airport runway created a dangerous airspace and irregular safety reviews made it worse, the board said. That was a key factor in the crash along with air traffic overly relying on asking helicopter pilots to avoid aircraft.The Federal Aviation Administration took steps to address those major…
You might think you’ve had s**t beer before, but I can guarantee — never like this. In the lead up to “the Big Game” (it’s the Super Bowl, sue me) Columbia Sportswear partnered with Portland’s Breakside Brewery to tee up a debut brew — Nature Calls — that fits in with the company’s “Engineered for Whatever” slogan. It’s not the first time the beer industry has dipped its toes in the outdoors. Busch Light launched decked-out camp koozies and even built a fishing hole in one lucky winner’s yard. And a bunch of ragtag Minneapolis bikers once launched a PBR into space — and filmed…
The Virginia Senate Courts of Justice Committee has already approved a half-dozen gun control measures, and the Democrat-controlled committee is likely to rubber stamp several more this afternoon. According to a legislative update from the Virginia Citizens Defense League, the committee will be meeting this afternoon with multiple gun bills on the agenda, including two bills that would create a new permit-to-purchase scheme that applies to every gun purchase in the Commonwealth. In order to get a permit, Virginians would have to submit their fingerprints to the Virginia State Police, along with proof of firearms training…
This article was originally published by James Bovard at The Mises Institute. On Saturday, federal agents in Minneapolis killed protester Alex Pretti, shooting him in the back 10 times after they had taken away the pistol he legally carried. White House Deputy Chief Stephen Miller quickly settled the issue: “A would-be assassin tried to murder federal law enforcement, and the official Democrat account sides with the terrorists.” A few hours after Pretti was killed, I commented on Twitter/X: “How many of the Trump supporters cheering the killing of the Minneapolis demonstrator today would also cheer for the FBI sniper killing Vicki Weaver…
The more I see about what happened with Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, the less I know about it. I’m fine with that, because it’s not my place to make a final determination as to whether the shooting was justified or not. It is my place to take issue with the members of the administration, including the president, who have suggested that it was somehow wrong for Pretti to be carrying a firearm, that the presence of it and spare magazines suggested nefarious intent.I don’t think carrying a firearm to a protest is a great idea…
