Traveling with a suppressor presents unique legal challenges that every lawful owner must understand. Unlike conventional firearms, suppressors are regulated as National Firearms Act (NFA) items, subjecting them to additional federal oversight and varying state laws. The answer to whether suppressor travel is legal depends on multiple factors, including your destination, method of transport, and compliance with both federal and state regulations.

When President Donald Trump’s administration last month awarded a contract worth up to $1.2 billion to build and operate what it says will become the nation’s largest immigration detention complex, it didn’t turn to a large government contractor or even a firm that specializes in private prisons.Instead, it handed the project on a military base to Acquisition Logistics LLC, a small business that has no listed experience running a correction facility and had never won a federal contract worth more than $16 million. The company also lacks a functioning website and lists as its address a modest home in suburban…

But understanding these flashpoints is just the beginning. In the second segment, we focus on something more personal…
The Trump Administration is doubling down on its efforts to combat illegal immigration. It has now deployed 1,700 National Guard troops on American soil to use the force of the military to horrifically remove people from the country. The administration has been under pressure to address rising crime rates and illegal immigration from its base. President Donald Trump has frequently highlighted the need for a strong federal response to ensure public safety and the integrity of national borders. That response now includes National Guard troops, military boots on the ground, to use force against otherwise peaceful people. This is a…

It’s hard to describe the disdain I have for so-called gun “buybacks,” since they are nothing but feel-good publicity stunts held by anti-gun bureaucrats to act like they are doing something to curtail criminal violence. They are so worthless, in fact, that Texas lawmakers are trying to ban them altogether! Still, politicians in some anti-gun states continue to make a big deal out of “buybacks.” And two such recent events in New Mexico and California prove gun-banners are more interested in deceiving their constituents than actually cracking down on violent criminals who use guns for evil.
