The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) recently published proposed changes to what is commonly called ATF Form 1, the application to make or register a firearm regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA). And unlike under the Biden registration, these changes would be friendly to lawful gun owners, not antagonistic. According to a report at nraila.org, the October 30 publication follows changes first proposed in August and also allows additional time for public comment. “Information Collection (IC) OMB 1140-0011 is being revised to reflect an increase in the number of applicants per year, rising from 25,716 applicants during the…

A report overnight suggests that several moderate Senate Democrats are prepared to break ranks and vote to end what has become the longest U.S. government shutdown in history. The push to reopen the government comes conveniently after major victories for Democrats in Tuesday’s elections, including socialist Zohran Mamdani becoming New York City’s next mayor, and Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill winning their respective gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey. The Soros family is very happy. Washington Post reporters Riley Beggin and Theodoric Meyer cite multiple people familiar with the talks who say “a handful” of moderate Senate Democrats are ready to end the government shutdown.…

When you think of .357 Magnum revolvers, you might be inclined to mentally picture a 6-inch barrel attached to a medium-sized frame. They are usually six-shooters, unless they’re in 5-shot snub-nose form. Hopefully, an adjustable rear sight adorns the frame. The mental image is completed by reflecting in the gun’s deep, polished blue finish. Well, sometimes our mental images get a bit fractured. Take the gun we have before us today… a Ruger GP100 .357. This gun sports a 4.2-inch barrel, a seven-shot cylinder, two-piece rubber and wood grips, and a beautiful satin stainless finish. A finely adjustable rear sight…

His hard-earned success in recent years has been remarkable, but the Iowa buck he arrowed this deer season is in a different class altogether. “This is the pinnacle of my bowhunting life,” Huhn says of the 16-pointer he tagged in late October. The 30-year-old bowhunter, of Osceola, says he’d heard about a giant buck roaming the bottomland thickets along White Breast Creek, which lies south of his home in…

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has warned the European Union that it will ignite a war if it accepts Ukraine into the bloc. Because of this, Orban says Budapest has a good reason to oppose Kiev’s membership. Ukraine’s ruler, Volodymyr Zelensky, claimed in an interview with Euronews’ Enlargement Summit reported on by RT on Tuesday that “Orban has to offer something for Ukraine, which is protecting the whole Europe from Russia, and even now, during this war, we did not get any support from him.” Orban has long been against furthering the war and helping Ukraine continue it as Russia…

An Akron, Ohio man has been sentenced to ten years in prison after being convicted of possessing an illegally modified Glock pistol equipped with a “switch,” a small device that converts a handgun from semi-automatic to fully automatic fire. Summit County Prosecutor Elliot Kolkovich announced that 33-year-old Maurice Arnold received the sentence following his conviction on weapons and drug charges. Investigators said one of the Glock pistols found in his home was fitted with an illegal switch, a device about the size of a quarter that allows a pistol to fire continuously with a single pull of the trigger. The…

In May, during Georgia’s spring turkey season, a 16-year-old hunter was charged with a felony for shooting a gobbler on his family’s property that his former high-school teacher claimed was her pet. Although the investigation that prompted the aggravated animal cruelty charge took less than a week, the ensuing legal case dragged on for nearly six months and divided the small-town community of Waverly Hall, where the incident took place.  That all came to a close Tuesday during a trial in…

The government shutdown is now the longest in United States history, surpassing the previous record set in 2019 on Tuesday evening. It has now officially been “shut down” for the 35th day.  According to a report by CBS News, the Senate failed for the 14th time to advance a House-passed continuing resolution to end the stalemate on Tuesday. The vote was 54-44, with no new Democrats crossing the aisle to advance it and end the funding lapse. Despite the outcome, lawmakers from both parties have hinted at the emerging contours of a deal to end the stalemate, possibly as early as this week. Senate Majority…

Resuming full testing of nuclear weapons — as President Donald Trump called for last week — would be unnecessary, costly, undermine nonproliferation efforts, and empower the nation’s adversaries to use their own tests as intimidation, experts told Defense News.Trump’s unexpected announcement, which came in the form of an Oct. 29 social media post, surprised many nuclear specialists — and sparked concerns that the United States may end its 33-year moratorium on nuclear weapons testing.“Because of other countries testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis,” Trump posted on TruthSocial.…

This story, “Boxed with a Bear,” first appeared in the April 1954 issue of Outdoor Life and was retold in Rearden’s book Alaska’s Wolf Man, a collection of Glaser’s adventures in Alaska in the first half of the 20th century. Countless adventures and stories from Alaska have forever been lost to time, but this is one, luckily, is preserved. It’s one of my favorite Frank Glaser stories, and someday I’m going to find that box canyon. When I do, I’ll sit quietly, trying to hear the…

Progressive Democratic socialist nominee Zohran Mamdani has been elected as the first Muslim mayor of New York City. Former Democratic mayor Democrat Andrew Cuomo has conceded after more than two million people cast their votes. Cuomo vowed to hold the incoming administration accountable, but we haven’t ever seen anyone be able to hold those in the ruling class accountable. “Almost half of New Yorkers did not vote to support a government agenda that makes promises that we know cannot be met. This campaign, as an independent after losing the Democratic primary, was necessary to make that point – a caution flag…
