Robert Corbin, a former NRA president and Arizona attorney general, died of natural causes on Sept. 9, 2025, at 97 years old. “Bob will be missed by all for his dedication and service to his country, his state and the NRA,” said Buz Mills, a fellow member of the NRA executive council. “A great leader and mentor, Bob is irreplaceable. We are diminished.” Corbin was born Nov. 17, 1928, in the small town of Worthington, Ind. He joined the United States Navy in 1946. Two years later, he began studying accounting and worked as a court bailiff to pay for law school.…

The business of dispatching unwanted critters requires a platform capable of a high degree of accuracy. Nuisance animals such as prairie dogs are both small and skittish in nature, meaning that they tend to keep their distance and scurry away upon the arrival of incoming fire. One of the best solutions has long been a highly accurized AR-15, but alas, these designs have begun to fade from fashion over the years. Bent on keeping the company name in line with its roots, the new Bushmaster Firearms company is resurrecting legacy products, most with only minor changes to keep up with…

This is the 250-year anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, which in 1776 declared the “self-evident” truth that all men have the “unalienable rights” to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Governments are instituted “to secure these rights,” but if it “becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government … .” If “a long train of abuses and usurpations … evinces a design to reduce them [the people] under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government,…

NRA took a serious hit on December 29. It wasn’t from Chuck Schumer or Letitia James. It wasn’t from a billionaire oligarch trying to take your gun rights—those things still are real and out there—it was from AML. Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The Director of NRA Museums Phil Schreier did everything the doctors asked of him and then some. He had a bone marrow donor lined up, a hospital room reserved and a plan for a transplant. But it wasn’t enough. Leukemia won, and we all lost. If you didn’t know Phil Schreier personally, you probably knew of him. And frankly,…

Armed Citizen® Today A man began attempting to force entry into a home in Fort Smith, Ark., just before 9 p.m. on Dec. 21, 2025. The man, wearing all black, managed to get inside the door, but a resident was able to force him out and lock it; the intruder nevertheless continued trying to force entry while screaming at those inside. The resident called 911 but also retrieved his firearm from his safe, as he feared for the lives of himself, his girlfriend and three children in the home. When the persistent aggressor succeeded at breaking in through a window,…

The TriStar KR22 rifle has many excellent features. It is well-balanced and feeds smoothly. The synthetic stock is nicely weather resistant. It comes with two magazines. The comb can be adjusted for height, making it easy to get a good cheek weld while using optics. The receiver includes an integrated Picatinny rail. The stock comes with sling studs installed. The barrel is threaded to accept muzzle devices. The magazine-well accepts Ruger BX-series magazines. For me, the KR22 functioned most effectively with a red dot sight. To be useful for pest control, a rifle should be capable of consistently shooting two-inch…
