New York isn’t moving toward constitutional carry, but the demand for firearms in New York City is exploding.

What many first-time buyers are discovering is that they…

A measure that would restore the rights of 18-, 19- and 20-year-old Floridians has passed its first hurdle in the state legislature. Following the terrible mass murder at Parkland High School in Parkland, Florida, back in 2018, the state legislature hastily passed several new gun laws, including one outlawing firearm…

Concealed Carry Reciprocity legislation currently under consideration in the U.S. Congress is facing opposition from two large police unions that seemingly want officers to be armed and nobody else. Apparently unaware that all states have laws that allow carry of concealed handguns for self-defense and 29 even have laws that allow carry with permits, the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) and International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) apparently believe doing away with the current patchwork of state laws would somehow be “dangerous.” The organizations recently sent a letter to Congress asking representatives to oppose HR 38, the “Concealed Carry…

He wasn’t expecting to stumble across the craziest action of the year on his commute. Brisson, a 36-year-old visiting nurse from Voluntown, Connecticut, was driving to see a patient when he happened to glance at a pond beside the road on Nov. 14. “I saw a buck swimming, and you don’t see that too often anyway,” says Brisson. “And then when I looked closer, I’m like, ‘There’s…

This article was originally published by Kevin Huges at Natural News.  The U.S. government plans to purchase up to 10 large nuclear reactors, citing an emergency due to surging electricity demand from AI data centers and manufacturing. Energy Department Chief of Staff Carl Coe admitted this is an unprecedented intervention in private markets but insists drastic action is needed. Japan pledged $80 billion for nuclear reactor construction as part of a U.S. trade deal, but analysts doubt Japan can fulfill this due to chronic budget deficits. The actual funding may ultimately come from U.S. taxpayers, despite White House claims of Japanese investment. AI’s massive power demands have revived…

I admit it. I’m incurable. I like 1911s. There, I said it. I really like .45ACP 1911s, and the 9mm double-stacks are growing on me, but the old slabsides started this love affair. It started with me in the late 1970s when I acquired my first 1911. That was before there was such a plethora of makes and models on the market. I own, or have owned, several 1911s and enjoy shooting them. With its modern iteration the 2011, I enjoy shooting them even more. Just today I shot this Savage, and also a 9mm MAC 9 2011. Both were…

On Oct. 5, 1945, President Harry S. Truman placed the Medal of Honor around Jacklyn Harrell Lucas’ neck. According to Lucas, Truman told the Marine, “I’d rather have [your] medal than be president of the United States.”“Sir, I’ll swap you,” quipped Lucas.But the ceremony to honor the Marine with the nation’s highest medal for valor was unique in more ways than one. At the age of just 14, the teen had forged his mother’s signature to join the Marine Corps. By the age of 17, Lucas had stowed away aboard the USS Deuel, bound for Iwo Jima.It was there that…

The U.S. Air Force plans to put an experienced acquisition officer in charge of overseeing many of its most important ― and, in some cases, most troubled ― major programs, and award him a fourth star.Lt. Gen. Dale White, the service’s military deputy for acquisition, technology and logistics, was nominated Tuesday to be promoted to general. An Air Force spokesperson said that White, if confirmed, will be assigned to be the direct reporting portfolio manager for critical major weapons systems, which will be a newly created position.In that role, White will report directly to Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg “to…

Sign up for the On The Gun Newsletter The latest for gun hunters and competitive shooters. All this week I’ve been hunting ducks with Beretta’s brand-new AX800 Suprema. This tactical-esque gas gun is being touted as the new waterfowl gun, which is saying a lot considering Beretta is continuing to produce its excellent A400 Extreme. But there are a handful of differences, and dare I say improvements, folded into the AX800.    I go in-depth on the Suprema in the video above. But here’s a quick overview of what’s new and noteworthy about this wicked new shotgun.  Specs Action: Semi-Auto /…

KYIV, Ukraine — An American proposal to end the war in Ukraine puts the country in a delicate diplomatic position — caught between placating its most important ally, the United States, and not capitulating to Russia, its much larger neighbor that launched a full-scale invasion nearly four years ago.The 28-point peace plan was crafted by U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration and the Kremlin, without Ukraine’s involvement. It acquiesces to many Russian demands that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has categorically rejected on dozens of occasions, including giving up large pieces of territory.Russian President Vladimir Putin welcomed the proposal late Friday, saying…

The helicopter seemed excessive, but after studying the Wyoming elk-hunting unit in detail, it appeared the only way to access thousands of acres of landlocked BLM and state school-trust lands was to come in from the sky. So we did, five of us, last week. We hired a chopper pilot willing to ferry us the few miles from a county road to a designated two-track road inside the landlocked parcel, and then fetch us at the end of the week. It…

Everytown rolled out a new anti-gun campaign this week titled “Debunking Gun Myths at the Dinner Table.” It crossed our desk here at The Truth About Guns the same way most Bloomberg-funded propaganda does, without warning and usually with a few unintentional laughs baked in. Right away, it was obvious this one was different. Not the type of messaging that could threaten anyone’s rights. Just bizarre. Odd enough to make you stop and read twice. Even by Everytown’s standards, the writing was sloppy and unhinged, something you don’t often see from a group with essentially unlimited cash courtesy of Michael…

The Navy’s newest chief of naval operations made his first visit to Guam since he assumed responsibilities in August Wednesday, along with the service’s top enlisted sailor. Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle and Master Chief Petty Officer John Perryman met with sailors and Navy leadership during an all-hands call at Naval Base Guam.“Our Sailors on Guam are serving on the front line of our nation’s defense, and they deserve the very best we can provide,” Caudle said, according to a Joint Region Marianas press release. “From housing and healthcare to family support and professional development, we are committed…

On Thursday, President Donald Trump accused six Democratic lawmakers of “seditious behavior punishable by DEATH” after the lawmakers, all of whom are veterans of the armed services and intelligence community, called on United States military members to uphold the Constitution and defy “illegal orders.” “The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution,” Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan wrote in the X post. Along with the Michigan senator, the other five lawmakers appearing in the video are seen as possible future aspirants for higher office, who now, thanks to the video’s wide exposure, have elevated…

The Trump Administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) is fighting to greatly limit the scope of the recent court ruling that the nationwide ban on concealed carry in post offices is unconstitutional. And that effort is drawing fire from some top gun-rights organizations. In the case Firearms Policy Coalition Inc. v. Bondi, the court ruled on September 30:  “The Court determines that both 18 U.S.C. § 930(a) and 39 C.F.R. § 232.1(1) are inconsistent with the principles that underpin this Nation’s regulatory tradition. Thus, they are unconstitutional as applied to carrying firearms inside an ordinary post office or on post office…
