Companies that traditionally did not offer suppressors are adding them to their lineups at a scalding pace—including some major leaguers. The migration began long before the price of a National Firearm Act (NFA) Stamp dropped to $0 on Jan. 1, 2026. New names taking the field at the SHOT Show, and since, clearly indicate managers recognized the approaching demand, and let engineers loose in labs and on ranges months before. The wisdom of that infield shift showed early this year. Roughly 178,000 NFA applications—most for the muzzle-mounted devices—were submitted to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE)…
Nine millimeter semi-automatic handguns are the most popular type of firearm in the United States. You might not hunt deer with a Glock, but if you own a handgun for self-defense–as most gun owners do–it probably uses a detachable magazine and is chambered in 9mm Luger. Many hunters carry these firearms into the woods for protection in case things go sideways with another human, and you can make a solid case for their use against charging bears, too.The popularity of 9mm handguns has incentivized gun companies to offer scores of models with a wide range of features, capacities, and capabilities.…
One-sided and often dishonest reporting on issues related to the Second Amendment is just one reason for the cratering of trust in today’s mainstream media. To put this in context, in 2025, a long-running Gallup poll on U.S. public trust in mass media found that 28 percent of citizens, a record low, said they trust the media. The public trust in the media, according to this poll, was as high as 54 percent in 2003, but has been deteriorating ever since. Given how turned off the public is, what is the future of the news media, and is there any…
Some hunters love disappearing into the wilderness and hoofing it miles. Others don’t mind a little motorization to help them punch their tags. Last fall, a Can-Am Defender saved my flatlander legs and lungs while I tagged a bull elk in Idaho, especially when it came time for the pack out. Back home in eastern North Carolina, I’ve been known to use a UTV for all kinds of pre-season prep, from hanging treestands to schlepping corn.Things can go sideways fast, whether you’re running an ATV or side-by-side in the backcountry or even your own back forty. Flat tires, dead batteries,…
For the first time ever, a captive-raised deer has been released into the wild whitetail population to slow the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD).The historic move is part of a program instituted by the Oklahoma state legislature in 2024. The Chronic Wasting Disease Genetic Improvement Program is intended to bolster wild deer genetics by releasing captive deer that have a resistance—though not an immunity—to the always-fatal disease.But opponents say that meaningfully improving wild herd genetics would require releasing hundreds of thousands of deer. What’s more, those releases could have the opposite effect: captive deer are not tested for CWD…

Armed Citizen® Today A Jewish father was with his two young children at a crowded park on April 3 in Miami Beach, Fla., when another man approached and asked if they were Jewish. When the father confirmed that they were, the stranger allegedly unleashed a tirade of cursing and antisemitic slurs, followed by threats. The father attempted to de-escalate the situation, as did others witnessing the event, telling the man to keep back and to stop, but the man instead charged at the family. The father then drew his firearm, deterring the aggressor long enough for police to arrive. Later…
The demise of newspapers, small and large, has been well chronicled—many analysts agree that more than one-third of U.S. newspapers that existed in the mid-2000s are now gone—but how this has impacted America’s most practical civil right, our right to keep and bear arms, has not often been considered. For context, we need to realize that local newspapers are not just the minor leagues. They were—and, to a much smaller extent, still are—a counterweight to national narratives driven by elites at The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times and a few others. Federalism is a concept that allows bodies…
