Indiana Senate Republican leaders announce they do not have sufficient votes to proceed with a mid-decade redistricting of the state’s congressional map, a move that could have shifted the balance of power ahead of the 2026 midterms. Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray notes the lack of consensus within the caucus, where just five out of 40 Republican senators currently support the plan, while three oppose it. Governor Mike Braun, who has expressed support for redistricting, remains hopeful, stating he is engaged in ongoing discussions with lawmakers to facilitate a potential agreement. This impasse comes as national GOP figures, including…
A suicide prevention program initiated in 2016 by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) did not achieve its goal of reducing the suicide rate by 20 percent by 2025 and has now been secretly shut down.

Data shows that suicides involving firearms continued to rise during and after the program’s lifespan, with over 27,000 such deaths…

Gun safety advocates are sounding the alarm over the potential rise of untraceable 3D-printed weapons, which could soon outnumber existing ‘ghost guns’ on American streets. These homemade firearms evade conventional tracking methods like serial numbers and bypass essential background checks, raising concerns about a possible escalation in gun violence across the nation. With American civilians already owning more firearms than any other population globally, experts emphasize the urgent need for regulations that address these 3D-printed weapons. As technology advances, the accessibility and production of such firearms may complicate efforts to control illegal gun trafficking and enhance community safety. Read full…

FN America is certainly no stranger to the AR platform. In fact, the company produced a significant portion of the U.S. military’s current inventory of M4 carbines, and the company has also recently produced M16A4 rifles for the U.S. Army’s Foreign Military Sales program. All of this means that FN is well-positioned to make many AR-15 components, and it used that experience and expertise to produce the FN 15 Guardian. Watch our video above to see FN’s semi-automatic rifle in 5.56 NATO in use on the range. At the heart of the rifle is FN’s forged 7075 aluminum receiver set,…
