I get that Australians aren’t big fans of the right to keep and bear arms. Hell, it’s bad enough there that it barely even qualifies as a privilege, especially as things have gone since the Bondi Beach terrorist attack. But that’s a thing for private citizens. No one who has any sense thinks the military should be disarmed, too. Oh, maybe not let them carry guns in various places, but they know that fighting wars needs guns, and there’s always someone most people think is worth killing, even if its their fellow countrymen and women.Despite…
“It’s a group mindset out here,” can be heard from the passenger side of a dusty off-highway vehicle roaring down a desert trail. Among the towering Saguaro cacti, leathery-leafed Jojoba shrubs, and pungent creosote bushes, two off-highway vehicle (OHV) enthusiasts talk shop in a side-by-side on a straightaway section of Arizona’s Boulders OHV Trail. Their goal? Highlighting the importance of courteous, safe, and informed off-highway driving … and having a little fun exploring Arizona in the process. Nick Olson takes his Chupacabra Off Road OHV on the trail; (photo/AZGFD) Meet the driver: off-highway expert, Nick Olson, who has coupled his…
The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) says that the Epstein files may contain “crimes against humanity.” We would say that it is almost a certainty that those files contain these violations. The UNHRC released a statement in response to the millions of files released by the United States ruling class related to criminal investigations into the late financier, Jeffrey Epstein. The UNHRC also demanded that all perpetrators be prosecuted no matter The Obama Administration’s Prostitution Scandal And The Ruemmler-Epstein Connection The Clintons Will Testify In Epstein Probe The Epstein files reveal instances of “sexual slavery, reproductive violence, enforced disappearance,…
Supertramp has established itself as a world-class truck camper company, with build standards far beyond the typical recreational vehicle (RV). Its latest offering is a chassis-mounted truck camper designed to mate with a 1-ton Ford SuperDuty truck. The Supertramp Paragon bridges the gap between the company’s slide-in truck campers and its F-550-based expedition camper. It’s also an alternative to adventure vans at a similar price point. The Paragon is not a half-million-dollar Supertramp Megatron or a million-dollar EarthRoamer. It is a much smaller expedition-style overland camper, which costs a fraction of the price. Supertramp Paragon Basics $189K starting price for…
The ATF isn’t our friend. It could be, but the truth is that there have been too many years when the bureau sought to spend more time monitoring what people like you and me were doing than actually going after armed criminals and actual gun traffickers. In fairness, going after those guys is hard, while we’re easier targets. Heaven forbid someone employed by the federal government has to actually work hard, with the notable exception of the junior enlisted in the military.What we all would like to see is someone running the ATF who isn’t…
Pro-gun rights group Gun Owners of America has announced it is launching its first-ever digital magazine, an exclusive membership benefit for GOA members.

Mikaela Shiffrin just showed the whole world why she’s still considered one of the best skiers alive. The 30-year-old athlete won a gold medal in the women’s slalom on Wednesday morning, dominating the event with a 1.5-second lead over her competitors. It was Shiffrin’s last event in the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, and her final chance to take home gold after a disappointing performance in the 2022 Beijing Olympics. This is Shiffrin’s third gold medal as a U.S. Winter Olympian. That puts her in the same category as snowboarder Shaun White and bobsledder Kaillie Humphries. But it’s actually her…
Tuesday was “crossover day” at the Virginia state capitol, which means any bill that didn’t pass out of its chamber of origin and cross over to the other side of the statehouse is officially dead for the session. As we previously reported, the “permit to purchase” measure that was being pushed by anti-gun Democrats is no longer a threat, though SB 643 is still a blatant attack on the 2A rights of young adults by prohibiting adults under-21 from purchasing handguns and “assault firearms”. The proposed 11% excise tax on firearms and ammunition as well…

Kentucky has pretty solid gun laws, especially considering it has a Democrat governor. Andy Beshear isn’t quite what I’d call a pro-gun Democrat, but he has quietly allowed several pro-2A measures to become law without whipping out his veto pen, and he’s been mum about things like the state’s permitless carry law as well. Beshear has come out in favor of “red flag” laws, though, and with rumors swirling about his intentions to run for president in 2028, the governor may be looking to make inroads with the gun control lobby. Keep that in mind…

After serving his country in the Marine Corps, veteran Michael D’Angelo has found another way to give back to the military community – making them laugh. D’Angelo feels right at home delivering punchlines in front of a couple hundred Marines at dusk, after they’ve finished an intense training regimen and just want to relax because he remembers that life far too well. He created the Rapid Fire Comedy Tour, a nonprofit organization the delivers first-rate standup comedy to active-duty military members and first responders for free. D’Angelo’s amazing story is featured on the latest episode of the Tango Alpha Lima podcast, hosted by…
When it comes to killing brain cells outright in mass, likely the only thing that could beat a three-day tequila bender is the so-called Everytown for Gun Safety’s annual gun law rankings. Everytown recently released its 2026 list, and I feel dumber just for reading the report. But I decided to take one for the team, since now you won’t feel compelled to spend more than a few seconds on it. “We compared gun policy across the country, scoring every state on the strength of its gun laws and comparing it with its rate of gun violence,” Everytown crowed in…
Saturday’s killing of Alex Pretti, an intensive care unit (ICU) nurse at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), by one or more U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, Minn., represented the end of a “life devoted to healing,” according to his family, coworkers, and others across the health care industry.The Jan. 24 shooting marked the third involving federal immigration officials in Minneapolis in January.Pretti, 37, worked as a registered nurse in the ICU at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System. He was fatally shot by federal agents near 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue during immigration enforcement operations.He was…
Yes, a state Democratic Party chair just applauded a move by the ATF that is, ultimately, a pro-gun move. Yes, it’s enough to make you check and make sure you’re not still asleep and having the least realistic dream you’ve had since that time in high school when you dreamed that Heather Locklear was next to you as you stood on a pyramid in sun god-like robes while thousands of naked women were screaming and throwing little pickles at you. What? I’m the only one who has that dream?Anyway, a state chair. Democrat.Yes, it’s surprising,…
Enraged tyrant Donald Trump has taken to social media to express his anger and frustration at the killing of another person in Minnesota by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Trump was especially unhinged that an American citizen dared to arm themselves against a tyrannical ruling class. Trump ended his rant on X over the shooting with the following message: “LET OUR ICE PATRIOTS DO THEIR JOB! 12,000 Illegal Alien Criminals, many of them violent, have been arrested and taken out of Minnesota. If they were still there, you would see something far worse than you are witnessing today!” Does anyone remember…
In 2025 the National Rifle Association announced some major changes. Last month NRA President Bachenberg addressed members’ concerns with changes to the magazines. The first electronic issues have arrived; so what’s the deal? Prior to changes to NRA Publications transitioning to a new division, NRA Media, there were four magazines. Due to the price of printing and mailing, NRA leadership found it to be cost prohibitive to continue printing those magazines on a monthly basis. They announced in Oct. 2025 that they’d be cutting down to two magazines: “American Rifleman” and “American Hunter.” The magazines…
Falco Holsters was in attendance at SHOT Show 2026, and with the expansive catalog of holsters that they already offer shooters who want to conceal carry a firearm, we thought we’d swing by to see what they have new for this year. It turns out that there are several new models/variations in the works, and we got the rundown on all of them. Falco Holsters with Blended Materials Falco Holsters is looking to blend together leather with Kydex in a couple of methodical ways this coming year. The first holster we came across and looked at was an Inside-the-Waistband (IWB) holster…
The killing of a Minnesota man who was protesting a Border Patrol immigration enforcement action while carrying a concealed firearm has quickly become a political Rorschach test, particularly on the right, while some voices on the left are suddenly displaying feigned appreciation and support for the Second Amendment. 37-year-old Alex Pretti, who worked as an ICU nurse at a Veteran’s Administration hospital in the Twin Cities, was shot and killed by Border Patrol agents during a chaotic scene in which it appears a gun was discovered in a holster as Pretti was on the ground…
For most of us, the Lincoln assassination lives only in history books or in television or movie adaptations of the event. But for Samuel J. Seymour (1860–1956), it was a core memory. It was a confusing, scary night at the theater, seen through a child’s eyes, long before he understood what the moment meant.Seymour is best remembered today, if remembered at all, as the last surviving eyewitness to President Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. He was five years old on April 14, 1865, and was in attendance, sitting in the balcony of Ford’s Theatre when John Wilkes Booth fired the shot. And he lived long…
Federal authorities arrested multiple activists after protesters inside a St. Paul, Minn., church disrupted a worship service, pushing the Department of Justice into a broader investigation.The protest unfolded earlier this month inside Cities Church in St. Paul, where demonstrators interrupted a worship service to protest federal immigration enforcement. The disruption prompted a local police response, followed by federal arrests and a widening DOJ civil rights review currently examining whether the actions violated laws protecting religious worship and if federal charges are warranted.Military.com reached out for comment to the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the city of…
