Long Island, New York, isn’t the most gun-friendly place in the world, but some people have guns there. Shocking, I know, but it’s true.Still, when you have a gun, either in an anti-gun state or not, it’s imperative that you handle it safely. It’s also imperative that if you hand that gun to someone who doesn’t know how to handle it safely, you instruct them immediately. For one guy, though, it was a rough time because he didn’t.It seems that you can get arrested for being shot with your own gun.Geonard Wade allegedly handed a…
Big ruling out of D.C. last week, and the internet immediately lit up with “circuit split!” and “SCOTUS incoming!” posts. Pump the brakes. Yes, this is a big win. No, it’s not the endgame. At least not yet. According to Washington Gun Law’s breakdown, the case, Benson v. United States, comes from the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, not the federal D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. That distinction matters. If this had come from the federal circuit, we’d likely have the kind of clean circuit split that forces the Supreme Court’s hand. But it didn’t. So technically, no split.…
United States senator and infamous war hawk Lindsey Graham has said that the ruling class is going to “make a ton of money” off the war it just started with Iran. If the U.S. is successful in toppling the Iranian government, the U.S. will control almost a third of the world’s oil and make record profits. Graham has already said that the cost of the attacks on Iran were the “best money ever spent,” arguing that the purpose is to prevent the country from developing nuclear weapons. Iran has repeatedly denied that it intends to create nukes and insists that…
Winter can be a confusing time for runners. Conditions can be highly variable — cold and dry, cold and icy, cold and slushy, or randomly temperate. Protection from the cold and grip on slippery surfaces are essential, but over the course of a single run, one might traverse pavement, puddles, and powder. Spikes can be useful, but are overkill for runs that aren’t exclusively on snow or ice. Yet typical trail shoes can be insufficient for the frigid conditions. In 2022, Tracksmith debuted the Eliot Runner — a low-profile shoe with a Pebax midsole and insole. Its classic look, combined…
For years, U.S. diplomats, CIA officers, and military personnel who reported bizarre brain injuries were told it was stress, mass hysteria, or environmental exposure. Now? That story just took a hard turn. According to a new investigation by 60 Minutes, U.S. agents secretly obtained a previously unknown microwave weapon overseas. And testing suggests it can cause the exact kinds of injuries reported in so-called “Havana Syndrome” cases. If this reporting holds, we’re not talking about conspiracy theories anymore. We’re talking about a portable, concealable directed-energy weapon capable of silently injuring Americans. Even on U.S. soil. The Symptoms Weren’t Random Since…
This article originally appeared on The Inertia. Two missing hikers kicked off a search for a spree killer in Utah this week. Now, the manhunt has ended with a suspect in custody and the discovery of a third body. The ordeal began Wednesday, when Linda Dewey, 65, and Natalie Graves, 34, failed to return from a hike in central Utah, near Capitol Reef National Park. When their husbands went to the trailhead to look for them, they found both women dead and their car missing. The ensuing manhunt would go across four states and uncover another body, 86-year-old Margaret Oldroyd.…
Among pro-2A Supreme Court watchers, the consensus opinion is that a majority of justices are going to conclude that the federal prohibition on gun possession for “unlawful” users of drugs is unconstitutional, at least as it applies to the defendant in U.S. v. Hemani. Interestingly, the few supporters of gun control who have even mentioned the Hemani oral arguments that took place on Monday seem to agree with the conclusions of Second Amendment supporters, even if they’re not thrilled about it. Jake Charles, the Pepperdine University law professor who used to head up the Duke Center…

Last week, Cam wrote about the media in Minnesota trying to play anti-gun activists with their reporting of testimony regarding the slate of gun control bills being discussed. It’s a VIP piece, but there’s a link down below with a hell of a deal on a membership. You should check it out. Anyway, the games in Minnesota.Yeah, the media being so overt in its anti-gun sympathies was pretty bad, but it gets worse.At least one of the people slated to testify reports that even the lawmakers were trying to play games.A Second Amendment expert is…
The United States has said that the war with Iran has “only just begun.” It added that it has already struck more than 2,000 targets since the initial joint attack with Israel. Iran’s Health Ministry says more than 920 people there have been killed. “We’ve only just begun to hunt, dismantle, demoralize, destroy, and defeat their capabilities,” Hegseth told reporters at the Pentagon on Wednesday. That statement echoed U.S. President Donald Trump’s sentiment. Trump said Monday that “we haven’t even started hitting them hard. The big wave hasn’t even happened. The big one is coming soon.” Iran, Israel, And The…
Virginia Democrats continue to advance a number of gun control bills, with the House of Delegates approving an amended version of the Senate’s ban on so-called assault weapons and large capacity magazines on Wednesday. The major change to the legislation is the new definition of “large capacity” magazines, which is now arbitrarily set at 15 rounds instead of 10. The House version of the gun and magazine ban was also modified in a Senate committee on Wednesday, and it looks to me like the two bills are now compatible with each other, which would avoid…

The firearms industry got some good news this week with the National Shooting Sports Foundation reporting a 3.5% increase in firearm transfers compared to February, 2025. The 1,265,320 NICS checks on gun transfers is a notable increase from the 1,222,980 adjusted NICS checks the organization reported last year. One state can account for almost 50% of the increased number. In Virginia, where Democrats have already approved a number of new gun control bills (more on that in an upcoming post) with more poised for passage in the state legislature, NICS checks on gun transfers increased…

In the aftermath of a mass killing, the rhetoric fires up. This is especially true after something like a Uvalde or Parkland.Various groups, both pro- and anti-gun, flood the field with money in the next election, all trying to accomplish something. They all say they’re trying to accomplish some good, and some people who donate really believe that, but at the end of the day, they’re trying to sway an election, and money talks. But does one side have an advantage when it comes to putting their money to work?According to a new study, not…

This article was originally published by Connor O’Keeffe at The Mises Institute. Over the weekend, the US and Israeli governments attacked Iran. In the days since, both militaries have reportedly struck thousands of targets, and Iranian forces have retaliated by launching hundreds or even thousands of missiles and drones at Israel and at US bases in surrounding Gulf countries. When announcing the operation, President Trump explicitly said it was meant to free the Iranian people from the regime they currently live under. And, indeed, the first strikes targeted and killed dozens of Iran’s leaders—including the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. However, it…
