In an appeal of a case the NRA filed in 2018, along with its state affiliate, the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit struck down New Jersey’s ban on “assault weapons” and “large capacity” ammunition magazines (those that can hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition) as unconstitutional. This is the first time a federal appeals court has ruled that a state’s “‌assault-weapons” ban ​violates the Second ‌Amendment; in fact, the U.S. Supreme Court will now have to settle conflicting rulings from federal circuit courts when it considers in the next term whether…

Most people live in a state of perpetual psychological comfort known as Normalcy Bias. This is the deeply ingrained, warm, fuzzy assumption that the systems keeping us alive today will function indefinitely tomorrow. We unconsciously believe that the grocery store will always hold a fresh supply of organic kale, the kitchen tap will never run dry, and the wall outlet will indefinitely pump electricity on demand. Spoiler alert: It won’t. When we analyze why individuals, organizations, or entire societies collapse during a crisis, the root cause is rarely a complete lack of preparation. Instead, failure occurs because someone mistook a…

Released by onX earlier this month, the “Roadless Rule: By the Numbers” report highlights key impacts of the rule, which places limits on road development and logging on relatively undeveloped national forest land. To put together the report, the satellite mapping company cross-referenced USFS boundary files with its own outdoor recreation data, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service habitat data, and 50 years of National Interagency Fire Center records.Some of the key takeaways are eye-opening. For instance, though the roadless rule encompasses just 27.7% of all USFS land, only 3.17% of wildfires start in those areas, while 90% of all fires…

The National Shooting Sports Foundation’s (NSSF) estimate of firearm sales nationwide for June 2026 was 1,123,006. The number reflects an increase of 11.7 percent compared to the organization’s June 2025 NSSF-adjusted NICS figure of 1,004,986. The improvement is welcome news for the industry. A significant portion of the double-digit growth was fueled by Virginia enthusiasts buying before July 1, when the state’s restrictive “assault weapons” and magazine-ban legislation was scheduled to become law and enforcement would begin.  Last month, 123,699 firearm purchases in Virginia resulted in a NICS background check, according to NSSF estimates. One year before, in June 2025,…
