The Liberal government in Canada is continuing its nationwide gun “buyback” of banned firearms, though we haven’t heard many Liberal politicians touting its success as of late. Instead, most of the recent headlines about the compensated confiscation effort have centered around localities refusing to participate. Most recently, the police department in Kingston, Ontario declared it won’t be involved in the federal effort, citing “concerns related to the program’s design, implementation, and potential impacts on local policing resources and public safety priorities,” identified by both the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police and the Ontario Association…
A man leaving a gun range found himself in a robbery attempt that quickly escalated into a shootout. And at least one alleged robber paid the price. According to a report from Click2Houston (KPRC2), Houston police say the incident unfolded near an apartment complex on Rampart Street and the Westpark Tollway. Investigators told reporters that the victim had just left a gun range when he was approached and robbed by a group of three men. Police say the suspects followed him to the apartment complex before the situation turned violent. During the attempted robbery, the armed citizen fired his weapon,…
For years, Gun Owners of America has put out the State of the Second Podcast. They’ve interviewed a ton of people, and a lot of people tune into each episode of the latest and greatest in the Second Amendment world. But there are a lot of people who don’t listen to podcasts all that much. Unfortunately, I tend to be one of them. I listen to some from time to time, but I just don’t have a lot of opportunity to listen unless I just sit down to listen, at which point I start looking…
According to Poland’s ruler, President Karol Nawrocki, the country is in need of nuclear weapons. Citing a perceived “Russian threat”, Nawrocki said that Poland should be developing its own nuclear weapons program. The U.S. and Russia Are Seeking New START Nuclear Treaty Through Diplomacy While speaking to Polsat News on Sunday, Nawrocki said he is a “strong supporter of Poland joining the nuclear project.” “We need to act in this direction so that we can begin work,” the Polish president stated, adding that he does not know whether Warsaw would actually pursue this endeavor. Meanwhile, talk of obtaining nuclear weapons is…
Alabama rigs, also known as A-rigs or umbrella rigs, can seem intimidating if you’ve never thrown one. There are wild wires and blades everywhere, multiple soft plastics, and the thing looks like a chandelier. It certainly doesn’t look like something you just tie on and cast, which is true, but avoiding the A-rig is a big mistake. The fact of the matter is, A-rigs are one of the most effective bass fishing lures ever created. You can slow roll it in deep water, burn it around shallow structure, twitch and pop it, and everything in between. Its versatility and effectiveness…
The Bruen decision was a watershed moment for the American gun rights cause.Finally, the Supreme Court clearly articulated what common-sense Americans already knew: the right to keep and bear arms means that you have a right to have a gun on your person and carry it with you outside of your home. It’s a little disturbing that it took so long (couldn’t they have figured this out in 1803?), but better late than never. More federal courts are finally catching onto what the Framers intended and inscribed in our national charter.This is not the first time…
Gun control groups like Brady regularly proclaim that “police violence is gun violence”, even while exempting law enforcement from virtually every one of the anti-2A bills they support. You’d think that Brady and Giffords would be on board with the “Law Enforcement Innovate to De-Escalate Act”, which aims to reduce the red tape and regulatory burdens around less-than-lethal products like stun guns by amending the Gun Control Act to exclude them from the definition of firearms. Instead, the gun control outfits iare melting down over the bipartisan passage of HR 2189, claiming that “the gun…
We all have those one or two recipes from grandma that have been passed down for generations, and they bring back so many memories of family fun around the table. However, what about old-school recipes that have been forgotten?While the depression greatly affected how people fed their families, we can’t overlook the imagination and tenacity of past generations. Many of these recipes are easy on the budget, which makes them a great choice to add to modern tables, given the recent rise in inflation at the grocery store.These old-school recipes may sound odd, but they are quite delicious! Consider trying…
The Appalachee High School shooting involved an AR-15-type rifle. A jackwagon of a student got it from his jackwagon of a father, who’d been made aware of threats, yet still bought him an AR-15 and gave him easy access to it just the same. At no point was any kind of full-auto switch involved. This is important.Why?Because, in typical anti-gun fashion, gun control advocates in my home state of Georgia are trying to use the upcoming trial in that shooting to push for a full-auto switch ban.As jury selection got underway in the Apalachee High…
Washington should force the neighboring countries to turn their backs on Beijing, a group of democratic United States senators has said. They are suggesting that U.S. ruler Donald Trump drag both Canada and Mexico into the ongoing trade war. The U.S. has already taken several steps to keep Chinese EVs (electric vehicles) out of the U.S. market. The previous presidential administration raised import tariffs on them from 25% to 100%. The executive orders issued by Trump shortly after taking office in January 2025 brought the total effective US import tariff to 127.5%, reported RT. Trump Finally Admits The U.S. Is…
The Kings & Queens of Corbet’s competition is set to kick off on Friday at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR). Earlier in the week, conditions in the couloir were icy, hard-packed, and generally scary. But a winter storm delivered over a foot of snow just in time for the competition. Now Corbet’s is locked and loaded, the athletes are primed, and the big air action is impending. GearJunkie spent the week watching as JHMR prepared the course, and we caught up with two of the athletes ahead of the competition. Wyatt Gentry, 19, and Tristian Lilly, 24, sat down with…
Since Alex Pretti was shot and killed by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis last month, there’s been a flood of stories about liberals embracing their Second Amendment rights, buying guns, and heading to the range. So far that hasn’t translated to any Democrat politicians renouncing their gun control ways, and I’m curious to see if February’s NICS numbers will show any substantial increase in firearm transfers in blue states, but it’s certainly a media phenomenon if nothing else. That particular story has been written time and time again in recent weeks, but Minnesota Public Radio found a…
When I first saw the HOKA x Halfdays Kaha 2 Frost Moc GTX, I had questions. This collaboration between two undeniably popular brands looked pretty wild. Was it a hiking shoe? A slipper? Was it made for snow and ice? Were you supposed to wear it in the city, on the slopes, or on the trail? Upon further research, the two brands claim that the Kaha 2 Frost Moc GTX is designed to thrive in all of the above environments. I put that claim to the test, wearing the Kaha 2 Frosts in the rainy Pacific Northwest, the foothill trails…
The firearm industry trade association is calling so-called “mainstream” media onto the carpet for hiding the number of common semi-automatic rifles owned by lawful American citizens in order to help bolster legislative proposals to ban such firearms. In a news story published on its website, the National Shooting Sports Federation (NSSF) focused on the current proposed ban in the Virginia legislature, highlighting coverage by WHSV 3 News, which reported: “If passed, the proposal would prohibit the manufacture, sale, import, purchase and transfer of many semi-automatic rifles, pistols and shotguns that meet its newly expanded definition of ‘assault firearms.’ This definition…

The Third Circuit Court of Appeals heard the combined Koons and Seigel cases en banc on Feb. 11, and I was in the courtroom to watch the oral arguments in person. Plaintiffs’ Attorneys may have bested the state, leaving interveners with crossed fingers. As previously reported, the full Third Circuit Court of Appeals reheard the consolidated Koons and Seigel cases via an en banc review. The arguments went just over an hour and while the bellwethers on which way the judges will decide are unknown, if you’re counting points on every glove laid, liberty will…
According to a peer-reviewed study conducted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), children who received the Moderna COVID-19 “vaccine” have a much higher risk of a febrile seizure within a day of vaccination. Among children aged 2 to 4, the risk was approximately 2.5 times higher, according to the report published on February 4th in Vaccine. Flu Vaccines Are Neither Safe Nor Effective Febrile seizures are convulsions most often caused by fevers that are triggered by infections related to common childhood illnesses. These seizures typically occur in children 6 months to 5 years old, and when they have a…
New Mexico is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been in my life. For years, I hoped to retire to either there or Arizona and just soak up the beauty. I didn’t even realize how much I’d love the area until I visited. But now, I wouldn’t live there for all the money in the world.After all, who would want to live in a state that elected a governor who thought she could just suspend the Second Amendment in a city, basically? That was smacked down, thankfully, but that doesn’t mean lawmakers there aren’t…
