Two Illinois Senators, Tammy Duckworth and Dick Durbin, have introduced the Equal Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act, which aims to hold gun manufacturers and sellers more accountable in legal cases related to gun violence.

This ruling could influence similar laws across various states and reflect the Court’s current judicial approach towards firearm legislation. Read full story at prescottenews.com Read…
Despite maintaining its status as the second-highest state for gun sales, Florida experiences a significant 7% decrease in 2024, purchasing just over 1.2 million firearms. This decline reflects a national trend where U.S. gun sales also drop by 3.4% from the previous year, continuing a downward trajectory since the pandemic peak in 2020. Analysts indicate several factors for this decline, including market saturation and shifting consumer priorities, as many gun owners now focus on accessories rather than purchasing additional firearms. As the gun market adjusts, 15 states report increases in sales, with Massachusetts leading at a 22.5% rise, prompting questions…

A newly published Department of Defence (DoD) report reveals that the US military intentionally misled the public about UFOs to obscure classified defense projects, particularly during the Cold War. The findings from an investigation by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) detail how the Pentagon promoted UFO conspiracy theories, illustrating a decades-long strategy involving disinformation, such as doctored images, and misleading accounts from unsuspecting eyewitnesses. One notable case involves a retired Air Force colonel who distributed fake UFO photographs in the 1980s to divert attention from secret tests of the F-117 Nighthawk stealth jet at Area 51. The report also…

True story: My first conversation regarding the new PR57 occurred in the form of a guessing game initiated by a colleague approximately six months prior to its public launch. He described the upcoming pistol in as much detail as he knew at the time; my task was to try to divine its maker. The longer his description went on, the more unorthodox the firearm in question was revealed to be, the more my personal interest in it grew and the more convinced I became that the curious gun in question was a KelTec. Got it in one! And the simple…
