A recent study published in JAMA Network Open highlights a troubling correlation between rising rates of gun ownership and an increase in gun homicides among pregnant women.

This study underscores the need for deeper examination of gun control policies and their impact on maternal…

A Florida House panel votes 11-4 to advance a bill repealing the minimum age requirement for purchasing rifles, establishing a contentious debate over gun rights and community safety. This legislative move, pushed by House Majority Leader Tyler Sirois, aims to align the rights of 18-year-olds with other adult privileges, despite concerns from gun control advocates and survivors of the Parkland tragedy, who warn it could increase gun violence. Supporters argue that allowing young adults to purchase long guns is consistent with their rights as legal adults, while critics highlight that individuals aged 18 to 24 have the highest firearm homicide…

The Bureau of Land Management has a new potential leader: former New Mexico congressman, Steve Pearce. Earlier this month, President Trump appointed Pearce to be the agency director, a role in which he will be responsible for managing the BLM’s 245 million surface acres, and 700-million-acre subsurface mineral estate.The selection has raised concern among conservation and hunter groups, given Pearce’s track record on public-land-related decisions. Though a decorated war veteran, a successful oil executive, and a two-term congressman, his voting record and other actions have demonstrated a distaste for public lands and a soft spot for extractive resource development. It’s…

My introduction to shotgun suppressors was more than a decade ago, just after SilencerCo debuted the Salvo 12 by taking a group of gun writers on an Eastern Shore Canada goose hunt to test and promote its new cans. A colleague was on the hunt and told me about the suppressor. Soon after, I had the opportunity to shoot skeet and pattern the Salvo. It mitigated felt recoil, tempered muzzle rise, and the sound reduction was noticeable. But at 12 inches long, which extended a standard 28” barrel to 40”, the Salvo wasn’t ideal if you were hunting from a…

In an industry seemingly swamped by polymer-frame, semi-automatic pistols and modern sporting rifles, the shotgun still fills a niche as a self-defense and tactical firearms.
