The Senate reached a tentative agreement to re-open the federal government late on Sunday evening, and if the House concurs with the package approved by the upper chamber the Schumer Shutdown could be over in a matter of days. Once the shutdown is over the House is expected to return to regular business, and that includes a potential floor vote on HR 38, the “Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2025” that was placed on the House calendar just before the shutdown began. Under the bill, which currently has 189 sponsors, “a person who is not…
United States President Donald Trump has promised every single American, except those who are “high income”, a $2000 tariff dividend. This dividend would be funded by his tariff policies and is currently under review for “legality” by the Supreme Court. “A dividend of at least $2,000 a person (not including high-income people!) will be paid to everyone,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Sunday. “People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS!” the ruler added, insisting that the policy is contributing “trillions of dollars” to the U.S. budget and will help reduce the nation’s $38 trillion national debt. The tariffs are also…
Years ago, when I was in college, I worked at The North Face (TNF) store in Boulder, Colo. As employees, we had a 50% discount on gear, so naturally, every payday, I would give my entire paycheck back to the company, buying rain jackets, tents, backpacks, and sleeping bags that would last me for years to come. One of the most useful and bombproof pieces I acquired during that time was my blue, size medium, Base Camp Duffel. That bag has traveled the world with me. It carried my belongings when I moved to Perth, Australia. It’s been to Costa…
Flowers are taped to a tree, and lit candles sit below at the site where 80-year-old Peter Morris, a Vietnam veteran, was killed. He parked his car after a school Veterans Day ceremony in Farmingdale on Long Island, New York.A mother stood with her two young daughters, both students at Woodward Parkway Elementary, staring at the spot where Morris was struck.“It is such a big loss for all of us,” she told Military.com. “We were dropping flowers to let them know we are thinking of them.” Flowers and a small American flag are placed at the tree where Peter Morris…
Oral arguments begin before the Oregon Supreme Court in the challenge to Measure 114—the restrictive gun-control law passed by voters three years ago. For background, Measure 114 was voted on in November 2022 and passed by a narrow margin of 50.65% to 49.35%. The law includes a very restrictive permit-to-purchase scheme, so-called “universal” background checks, and a 10-round magazine capacity limit. The permit-to-purchase provision is extremely problematic in that even if Oregon citizens jump through all the required hoops, receiving the permit doesn’t mean they’ll be able to purchase a firearm. The law actually states: “A permit-to-purchase issued under this…

A couple of times a day, I’m looking for stories. As a result, I tend to see a lot of the same kinds of things each and every day. I see letters to the editor all about how some given area totally needs gun control. I see others on why that same area doesn’t need it. I see crime reports and op-eds and everything else under the sun, all about the issue of gun rights and gun control. But today, I saw something different.It’s an attorney who took keyboard to talk about how not to…

Hours before the public comment period closes on the DOJ’s proposed rule laying out a pathway for prohibited persons to have their Second Amendment rights restored, the Second Amendment Foundation has released its own comments on the proposal. In a letter to Kira Gillespie, a Deputy Pardon Attorney at the DOJ, SAF hailed the proposal as a “a tremendous step forward in that it will finally provide a sensible pathway to help restore the rights of millions of Americans who seek such relief but have had no avenue besides pursuing costly lawsuits or uncertain pardons…
This artilce was originally published by Belle Carter at Natural News. President Donald Trump revealed plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Budapest, Hungary, following a “productive” phone call. The summit aims to break the deadlock in the Russia-Ukraine war, though skepticism remains due to past failed negotiations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Washington seeking advanced military aid, including long-range Tomahawk missiles—a move Russia warns would severely damage U.S.-Russia relations. Trump hinted he may approve missile sales if Russia refuses meaningful negotiations. Just before Zelensky’s visit, Russia launched its largest drone and missile assault in over a month,…

Until this one, though, they had one thing in common. They were built around the special 250 GD model known as the…
Flare guns aren’t weapons. They can be used as a weapon, of course, but so can anything else if you’re creative enough. That’s why some people make a point that the person is the weapon, not the instrument in their hands. What flare guns are intended for is safety. If you’re in trouble, you can shoot the flare gun into the air and signal for help. If people see a flare in the sky, they know what’s up and will either help themselves or call for someone more capable.And in Albany County, New York, if…
Imagine going to federal prison because your rifle barrel measures 15.9 inches instead of 16 inches. Sound absurd? Welcome to the world of short-barreled rifle (SBR) and short-barreled shotgun (SBS) regulations, where a fraction of an inch determines whether you’re a law-abiding citizen or a potential felon facing up to ten years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The National Firearms Act of 1934 established these regulations, creating arbitrary barrel length restrictions that continue to baffle gun owners nearly a century later. A rifle must have a barrel length of at least 16 inches, and a shotgun must measure at…
The long-running battle over corner-crossing access to public land has reached its end, at least for now. On Oct. 20, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal of a Wyoming landowner who sought to overturn a lower-court decision that favored public-land hunters. With that decision, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals’ March ruling now stands, setting a major precedent for millions of acres of “checkerboard” land across the West. The Long Fight for Access Highlighted green and yellow squares represent public land, while earthen squares represent private land in this onX Hunt screenshot; (photo/Backcountry Hunters & Anglers) The…
BELLEVUE, Wash. — Oct. 16, 2025 — The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has filed a new lawsuit in New Hampshire challenging the unconstitutional search of an 18-year-old high school senior’s vehicle, based solely on the knowledge that he is a legal gun owner. The case, Harrington v. Crawford, stems from the search of Hillsboro-Deering High School student Jack Harrington’s vehicle while it was parked on school grounds. Harrington lawfully owns a handgun and sometimes kept his firearm in his truck – in full compliance with all federal and state laws – but always removed the gun from his vehicle…
The right to keep and bear arms is preserved in the Second Amendment, but like many other rights, there are always people who think those shouldn’t be as absolute as the Constitution makes them. There are people who want to outlaw so-called hate speech, which is a problem when you think about what all they call hate, or want to tell churches what parts of the Bible they can uphold. It’s just a lot more common with the Second Amendment.While it’s annoying to see people who blame guns for all the ills of the world,…

The United States military has committed yet another war crime by striking a civilian vessel allegedly trafficking drugs toward the U.S. So far, Washington has not provided any evidence showing the boats attacked were actually carrying any drugs. Unlike all other strikes, this latest one reportedly resulted in at least some crew members surviving, according to an unnamed U.S. official cited by Reuters, and reported by Natural News. The Department of War has yet to confirm the incident officially, while critics question the legality and motives behind the escalating campaign, which has already killed at least 27 people.
