Banning so-called high-capacity magazines is an obvious infringement of the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. However, many more liberal courts have failed to see it that way. In fact, court challenges to such magazine limits have met a mixed bag of success and failure, with some courts handing down rulings that the magazines are “arms” protected under the Second Amendment and others saying they are just “accessories.” In an attempt to get the matter settled once and for all, the National Rifle Association recently filed a petition for certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court, asking the court…

This article was originally published by Ramon Tomey at Natural News.  Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem issued a televised threat asserting that any attempt by the Lebanese government to disarm the group would plunge the country into chaos, evoking fears of a return to civil war. Qassem accused Beirut of following an “American-Israeli order” to dismantle Hezbollah’s “resistance,” denouncing state-backed disarmament efforts as illegitimate. Prime Minister Nawaf Salam rejected Qassem’s remarks as “unacceptable,” insisting that arms control falls solely under state authority and dismissing claims of foreign influence as baseless. Despite Hezbollah’s weakened influence since the assassination of its former leader…

We all know that an American’s Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms shouldn’t stop just because he or she crosses a state line. However, in far too many cases, differing carry laws can scuttle travelers’ ability to protect themselves when on the road. Such is the case with Massachusetts, which has one of the most oppressive concealed carry permit laws for nonresidents. That has prompted the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF)  to file a lawsuit challenging the provisions of the law. On August 13, SAF and partners filed Lawson v. Campbell, which challenging the commonwealth’s process for non-residents to…

Sign up for the On The Gun Newsletter The latest for gun hunters and competitive shooters. The Rigby Highland Stalker is a throwback to the golden age of sporting rifles. The design and materials used in its construction are the same now as they would have been more than a century ago. Were you to place this rifle in the hands of a sportsman going on safari in 1925, the oil-finished walnut stock, blued metalwork, hand checkering, engraving, flip up leaf sights, and Mauser 98 action would seem utterly familiar — though the variable power Leica would have left him…

If you’ve ever wondered what a long-term blackout would feel like—not as a prepper, but as an ordinary person—this movie gets close. Into the Forest doesn’t start with panic. It starts with normal. And then quietly chips away at it. That’s what makes it effective. Whether you’re into preparedness or not, this is a film that takes its time and pulls you into the emotional side of survival. It’s about the small decisions. The things people ignore. And how fast comfort disappears when systems fail. When the grid fails, there’s no siren. No explosion. Just silence. That’s the quiet threat…

When America goes to war, it likes to be on the offensive. “Nobody ever defended anything successfully,” Gen. George S. Patton famously said. “There is only attack and attack and attack some more.”But for six months after Pearl Harbor, the U.S. military retreated and retreated some more. The U.S. garrison in the Philippines, under Gen. Douglas MacArthur, steadily retreated before the Japanese onslaught that culminated in the surrender at Bataan in May 1942. Isolated outposts at Wake Island and Guam fell, while the decimated and outnumbered U.S. fleet carefully stuck to hit-and-run as America mobilized for total war. Today, a…

Georgia game wardens caught two poachers last week in what must have felt like a scene from the past, when Southern outlaws still prowled the banks with telephones. The two poachers were caught red-handed trying to ditch the conspicuous wooden box, but the wardens recognized it for what it was: an antique telephone being used as a deadly (and illegal) fishing device. The Georgia DNR explained in a Facebook post that Sgt. Matt Garthright and Warden Chason Brogdon were on patrol…

This article was originally published by Connor O’Keeffe at The Mises Institute.  We’re now in the second week of Trump’s so-called “takeover” of Washington, DC, where he’s formally federalized the city’s police and mobilized national guard troops and federal agents to help crack down on crime. So far, a few hundred people have been arrested. City officials quickly filed lawsuits last week, which allowed federal judges to freeze some aspects of the president’s move. All while the establishment media frames the entire episode as Trump, for the first time in the country’s history, ushering in a federal “police state.” The right, in…

We have a pair of compact binos, some stabilized units, a handful of large-frame binoculars, and probably the smallest assemblage of conventional 10×42 units in the history of our test. In most years, we have so many submissions in each of the sub-categories of compact, mid-sized, and large-frame binoculars that we break them into groups of peers. Not this year. We threw all the binos in one…

United States ruler Donald Trump is facing backlash after he called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “war hero”. In an interview with right-leaning commentator Mark Levin on Tuesday, Trump called Netanyahu “a good man” who he said is “there fighting.” “He’s a war hero. I guess I am too… [but] nobody cares… I sent those planes,” Trump said, referring to American strikes he ordered on Iranian nuclear facilities back in June. Netanyahu and the other members of Israel’s ruling class have moved ahead with plans for a new military occupation of Gaza City. The plan has sparked nationwide demonstrations, with tens…

You need to get to know holsters. It takes time to get a feel for the fit and see if it works with your style. Some I keep, and others I break up with. It’s not you, it’s me. The Safariland Gravity holster is relatively new and, from the outset, offers ease of use and comfort. I wanted more than a one-night stand with the Gravity holster, so I have been wearing the paddle version for the past three months. The Gravity is also available with a belt loop and other attachments, depending on your end use. Injected-Molded Polymer vs…
