The fundamental premise of the gun control movement is that more guns inevitably results in more crime. The only way to make the U.S. safer, then, is to reduce the number of firearms in circulation. That means making it more difficult to purchase firearms, but also going after the…

A perfect day at the beach looks a little different for everyone, but no matter how you like to enjoy the shoreline, a few key pieces of gear can make the difference between a stressful outing and a truly relaxing one. We’ve compiled our top-tested beach day gear to help…

Fresh off their closer-than-expected victory at the polls on Tuesday that allows them to gerrymander the state’s congressional districts and give them a 10-1 advantage, Virginia Democrats (and the Republican minority) return to the state capitol today to address bills vetoed or amended by Gov. Abigail Spanberger this session.  …

There’s no doubt about it that Shreveport is a particularly disturbing rampage. It’s not just that this turdnugget killed eight children, but that they were primarily his kids, and that he traveled to try and kill them all before offing himself. For someone like this, the last step really…

The truth of the matter is that so-called “ghost guns” exist in part because there is a point where something that isn’t a gun becomes a gun. Selling something that’s almost a gun, but not quite, isn’t exactly new. I first bought an AK receiver kit more than 20…

I’m always on the lookout for coverage of defensive gun uses by local media outlets, so when I ran across a story from KXAN-TV in Austin, Texas headlined “Austin woman chases intruder out of home during ‘terrifying’ invasion,” I was definitely intrigued.  The story itself…

It’s easy to look at the gun control laws passed in another state and think, “Well, at least it doesn’t impact me.” I vehemently oppose what’s happened in California over the years, just as I vehemently oppose what’s happened in Virginia in 2026, but since it doesn’t affect me…

After days in the desert or hauling gear by the river, the last thing I want is a cooler that’s a pain to clean. I’ve come to expect that soft-sided coolers always mean extra cleaning. I end up spending 20 minutes scrubbing inside a floppy, dark shell, trying to reach…

A while back I wrote a post about cooking without power which was really just a list of ways to heat up food–dutch oven, fireplace, grill, etc. But what if your food needs more than just heating? What if the power is out and you want to use the blender,…

I remember when magazines like Esquire were about men’s style and the gentleman’s lifestyle. If you wanted to be the most well-dressed man in any room, you probably read it and its sister publication, GQ. They focused on what they focused on and they did it well for decades. …

I woke up to one of the strongest wind gusts I’ve ever weathered in a tent. I looked at my watch: 2:43 a.m. Right when the forecast was predicting 50 mph gusts on the snowy 12,000-foot ridgeline, The North Face’s (TNF) Assault 2 AMK Tent ($1,850), and I were perched on. My headlamp had…

U.S. Senators Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine have introduced a sweeping federal gun control bill that would ban certain firearms, expand red flag laws, and impose new nationwide restrictions on gun ownership. The proposal, titled the Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act of 2026, marks one of the…

Despite the Ukrainian government putting rifles in the hands of some civilians in the early days of the country’s defense against Russia’s invasion, Ukraine’s gun laws remain awfully restrictive. Those laws, however, didn’t prevent a mass shooting at a grocery store in Kyiv last Saturday, where a man killed…

Instructors at Vail Resorts are opting into a class-action lawsuit against the corporation, alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

According to reporting from KHOU 11, the incident unfolded around 2 a.m. on Truman Street in North Houston, beginning with a crash that quickly escalated…

Guns are often perceived by many, including some gun people, as a masculine thing. Weapons tended to be the domain of the man, historically, so I kind of get it. However, guns are different because they are equalizers. Anyone can use one effectively, and that makes it ideal for…

More than two dozen dogs starved to death in a small Alaska town — and the surrounding community is demanding answers. The tragic incident occurred on a private property in Matanuska–Susitna Borough, near the town of Willow, Alaska. The borough encompasses a huge area just north of Anchorage, and even includes…

The firearm industry is drawing a line in the sand over a new Maryland proposal that could ban a wide swath of commonly owned handguns. And a lawsuit may be coming next. The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) is vowing legal action if Gov. Wes Moore signs Senate Bill 334…
