Canada’s federal government has been moving since 2020 to ban and then seize a vast array of mostly semi-automatic firearms. In March, Canada’s federal Assault-Style Firearms Compensation Program wrapped up its declaration phase with only about 67,000 guns turned in—compliance rates are estimated to be only in the single digits. The country’s amnesty period for having one or more of these firearms runs until Oct. 30, 2026; after that, owners of any of the more than 2,500 newly prohibited models must surrender, deactivate or destroy their guns or face possible criminal charges. This is no “buyback.” It is mandatory confiscation…

Armed Citizen® Today Two minor celebrities found an alleged trespasser prowling on their Los Angeles grounds shortly after midnight on April 17. Barbara Palvin, a model, called 911 and reported the “creepy guy,” as her husband, actor Dylan Sprouse, successfully held the man at gunpoint until police arrived. The suspect was arrested for outstanding warrants, though the couple apparently did not choose to press charges for trespassing.

Silver is trying to get back into this important channel previously pointed out:     (Click to expand.) This puts the current bull market in a similar position to 2004 in the previous bull market.

Ever since Beretta launched the A300 Ultima Patrol shotgun in 2024 as a less-pricey alternative to the 1301 Tactical, online gun forums and YouTubers have debated whether the 1301 is worth $650 more than the A300. Like any comparison, the answer lies in what features you value most and how capably each shotgun satisfies your intended use. This article lays out the most consequential mechanical and features differences between these two Berettas. I’ll also compare their ballistic performance on 25-yard targets using Hornady Black and Rio Royal 00 buckshot loads and on 50-yard targets using Hornady American Gunner 1-ounce rifled…

00:00:01 Speaker 1: At two o’clock on a clear November afternoon, a single rifle shot cracked through the Big Woods of northern Maine. Shirley Smith thought her husband had just tagged a deer, but Bob Smith was gone. There was no storm, no cliff, no rushing river, just thick timber, a healthy search radius, and a man who seemed to evaporate between one gunshot and the next. Thirty years later, investigators and Bob’s family are still trying to piece together what happened, and none of the theories do much to ease their minds. That’s next on Blood Trails. Bob Smith…
