For nearly a century, the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA) has stood as the cornerstone of federal gun control. It was the first federal law to impose limitations on firearm ownership, requiring Americans to pay a $200 tax — the equivalent of nearly $5,000 today — register, and undergo an intrusive application process just to own common firearms and accessories like suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), and shotguns (SBSs). This wasn’t a minor fee. At the height of the Great Depression, $200 was intentionally set to price the average American out of owning these items, effectively creating a ban without…

President Donald Trump told a gathering of military leaders Tuesday they should use American cities as “training grounds” to fight against what he called a “war from within.”“We should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military, National Guard, but military,” Trump told an audience filled with top generals and admirals in Quantico, Virginia.He told the commanders that defending the homeland was the military’s “most important priority” and suggested the leaders in attendance could be tasked with assisting federal law enforcement interventions against an “invasion from within” Democratic-led cities, such as Chicago and New York City.On…

There’s good news for fans of classic Combloc firearms: CzechPoint has officially brought back the Vz. 61 chambered in 9x18mm Makarov. This long-awaited revival offers shooters a significantly more potent alternative to the original .32 ACP chambering, making the Skorpion more capable than ever as a personal defense weapon (PDW) or suppressor host. For those new to the platform, the Vz. 61 — often referred to simply as the Skorpion — was initially designed in 1959 and adopted by Czechoslovakia in 1961. Its compact wire stock, stamped-and-milled construction, and unique top-folding profile made it a favorite for special forces, vehicle…

An airman who was demoted and sentenced to hard labor after popping positive for cocaine has had his conviction overturned by an appellate judge who found government prosecutors failed to turn over evidence and did not adequately consider his defense that the flagged substance could have been tainted pre-workout power. A Sept. 15 decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces — the military’s highest appeals court — found that Bryce Roan, a former senior airman, was disadvantaged by errors and omissions by the prosecution. The decision, handed down by CAAF Judge John E. Sparks, returns…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) and Sheriff Robert Luna on Tuesday, accusing it of “systematically” delaying concealed carry permits for law-abiding citizens in violation of the Second Amendment.The lawsuit, which the DOJ touts as its first-ever affirmative lawsuit in support of gun owners, alleges the LASD created a “pattern and practice” of obstruction by forcing law-abiding citizens to wait months and even years for a decision. The DOJ said in their complaint that, between January 2024 and March 2025, the sheriff’s office received 3,982 new…

If the government does shut down tonight, affecting paychecks of service members, federal civilian workers and contractors, there are resources to help those experiencing financial distress. The Oct. 1 paychecks for service members won’t be affected, but the first pay period that could possibly be affected is the Oct. 15 paycheck. While military members must continue to report for duty without pay, House lawmakers are pushing for legislation to guarantee the military are paid during government shutdowns. DOD guidance indicates nearly half of their 741,477 civilian employees could be furloughed, with a number of military spouses working as civilian employees…

United States ruler Donald Trump has called the United Kingdom and France, both allies, “foolish” for defying his demands and recognizing Palestine as its own state.  This news comes as Israel continues its incursion into Gaza, while the genocide is ongoing. Other nations such as Canada and Australia have also decided to defy Trump and the U.S., officially recognizing the State of Palestine during last week’s UN General Assembly session, drawing condemnation from the US and Israel, according to a report by RT.  “Several countries have foolishly recognized the Palestinian state. Some of our European friends, allies, good people,” Trump said…

Joining them on board the boat that day were Cruz’s dad, Heath Strohmeyer, and Cruz’s pal, Henry Dillon. “There have been a lot of big tarpon on the east side…

The United States Department of Energy has created a list of “words to avoid,” advancing the censorship narrative. The words “climate change” and “green” are listed as banned, as ruler Donald Trump declared the concept “the greatest con job” during his recent United Nations speech. According to a report by Politico, other words such as “green,” “emissions,” and “decarbonization” were also suggested to be avoided.  The outlet cited an email sent to the department’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy just days after President Donald Trump denounced the concept of climate change during his UN General Assembly speech. The United Nations’…

Protecting What Makes America Different The United States is unique because our Constitution enshrines not just the freedom to live, but the freedom to speak, believe, publish, and defend ourselves. The First and Second Amendments are not window dressing; they are the backbone of liberty. Other nations promise “rights” in glossy documents, but those promises often vanish when tested. In America, those rights are written in ink that binds not just governments but generations. That difference explains why millions fight to come here — because freedom here is not a privilege granted by rulers; it is a birthright. Yet somewhere…

Sign up for the Quick Strike Newsletter The hottest fishing news, tips, and tactics From Maine to Florida and California to Kansas, no body of still water can escape fall turnover. The term is one most anglers are familiar with, though it’s questionable how well everyone really understands what it means, how it affects the fish, and, most importantly, how it affects our ability to catch them. How many fishermen perceive it is a rapid change that simply screws up the bite: the lake is suddenly off color, or rotting leaves plague a cove that was clean just a week…

This article was originally published by Jimmy Alfonso Licon at The Mises Institute.  The assassination of Charlie Kirk is a tragedy on several levels. It robs his family and friends of the time they would otherwise have had with Charlie, especially his young children and wife. It is a tragedy for Charlie—his life was cut prematurely short. And it is a tragic signal that the wrong words spoken, even in a liberal democracy, can get you killed. As an academic and public intellectual, I find that chilling. It is also, unsettlingly, a case study in how democratic incentives can corrode political…
