A cadre of gun-rights groups has filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court of the United States, urging the court to hear a case challenging a New York law that undermines the federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). On March 30, the National Rifle Association (NRA), the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), and the Independence Institute filed a brief in the case NSSF v. James, which challenges the continued filing of abusive public nuisance lawsuits against firearms manufacturers and dealers. Although the PLCAA generally bars such claims, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the law, concluding…
This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge under the title: Oil Spikes As Trump Vows To Hit Iran “Extremely Hard Over Next 2-3 Weeks”, Threatens To Send It “Back To The Stone Ages.” Summary Trump declares ‘core strategic objectives met’, threatens 2-3 more weeks of bombing, no mention of ceasefire Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has released an open letter to the American people, questioning whether Washington is truly putting “America First” or merely acting as a “proxy for Israel” willing to fight “to the last American soldier.” Air defenses have been activated in Dubai, taking out 5 ballistic…
I spent years overseeing the guard force security contract at the embassy in Baghdad. I know this 100+ acre compound well, and I know exactly what it means to rely on its defensive systems. There has been a recent shift in the security landscape that every preparedness-minded person needs to pay attention to. Recently, Iranian proxies launched a drone and rocket attack on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. One of this world’s most critical and heavily fortified diplomatic facilities isn’t just another localized target. It signals a major change in how warfare and terrorism are conducted—and it has direct ripple…
Walk into a house built thirty or forty years ago, then walk into one today. The layout is different, the materials are different – but the biggest change is something you can’t see. It’s behind the walls, and it never turns off. Old houses were simple. You turned on a light and it was there. You switched it off and it was gone. That was it. However, your home works differently now. The router runs all day, chargers stay plugged in and appliances sit on standby. Current flows through your walls around the clock and your wiring was never designed…
When Vortex flew me out to Wisconsin for their Media Summit last December, the new Strike Eagle 1-10×24 FFP immediately stood out as one of the “must-haves” for the upcoming year. Right alongside the far more exotic (and far more expensive) AMG 1-10×24 FFP, the budget version is also worth considering if you’re looking to extend your range. Although every Media Summit is a surprise, a 1-10×24 FFP felt like the natural next step for the Strike Eagle family. It has the same approachable, average Joe price bracket, but with a feature set that clearly targets buyers who have done…
U.S. forces have carried out 49 airstrikes in Somalia so far in 2026, a pace that puts this year on track to rival or exceed last year’s operations against Islamic militant groups. The attacks, conducted in coordination with the Somali government, come after U.S. Africa Command carried out 124 strikes in 2025, a dramatic jump from just 10 in 2024, according to an AFRICOM spokesperson. “Alongside the Federal Government of Somalia and the Somali Armed Forces, our efforts continue to degrade ISIS and al Shabaab capabilities,” the spokesperson said in a Wednesday statement. The most recent strike targeted al-Shabaab last…
President Donald Trump assailed NATO on Wednesday, threatening to walk away from the 32-nation defense bloc over its response to the war in Iran. Asked in an interview with The Telegraph whether he would consider ending U.S. membership in the alliance after Operation Epic Fury, Trump said it was “beyond reconsideration.” “I was never swayed by NATO. I always knew they were a paper tiger, and [Russian President Vladimir Putin] knows that too, by the way,” he added.Trump, however, cannot unilaterally withdraw the United States from the alliance it helped found in 1949. A 2023 law — co-authored by then-Sen.…
Images by the author Let me start by clearing my conscience. I have an addiction, of sorts, but it’s not what you’re thinking (unless you’re thinking about Hoosier breaded tenderloins… I might admit to a weakness where they’re concerned…) Actually, I was thinking about low-power, variable-optic scopes (LPVOs). Where I live and hunt, 150 yards is about it in terms of deer habitat and hunting range. To be sure, the last deer I took was with a Bear Creek Arsenal 7.62×39 AR at a measured 149 yards. The only other deer I can recall measuring a distance for was a…
What’s a gal to do when she’s a rabid anti-gun advocate, but some of her friends are starting to wake up to the fact that the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun? Well, if you’re Kris Brown, head of Brady United, formerly Handgun Control Inc., you take to your blog and explain to your followers how they can help guide their friends and family away from potential gun ownership. In a Substack post titled “My Friend Wants to Buy a Gun. What Should I Say?” Brown explains “How to…
