Additionally, the DNR has designated 103 deer permit areas for the upcoming season,…

Travel back in time to the year 2021 and you might find yourself in the middle of a bizarre debate over the virtues of “cancel culture”. At the time the political left was aggressively trying to secure long term power within the US through a multi-pronged psychological offensive – A war on the minds of the masses designed to force Americans into submission. A big part of their strategy relied on the fundamentals of Cultural Marxism: The combination of Marxist mob tactics, artificial consensus and the exploitation of minority grievances as a vehicle for controlling speech. This was the rise…

In the wake of a mass shooting in Manhattan, investigators are examining how the alleged gunman, 27-year-old Shane Devon Tamura from Las Vegas, was able to obtain firearms, particularly an M4-style semiautomatic rifle. Although he legally purchased a .357 caliber revolver and holds a concealed weapon permit from Nevada, the exact means by which he acquired the rifle remain unclear, highlighting potential loopholes in state and federal firearm regulations.

Sweat is gushing down our faces, pooling on our chins, and dripping onto our handlebars. My hunting buddy and I are pedaling up an old Forest Service logging road, loaded down with rifles and three days of camping gear. It’s unusually hot for a spring day—especially in Montana—but with only a week left of bear season, there’s no time to waste. We’re in a good spot, but better yet, it appears to be virgin country. Not a single tire track or boot print marred the path in. Who else would go through this much effort to get back here? Or…

A mass shooting in Manhattan on Monday, where 27-year-old Shane Tamura opened fire and killed at least four people before turning the gun on himself, occurs against the backdrop of drastic cuts to federal funding aimed at preventing gun violence. Since President Trump returned to office, the administration has halted over $158 million in grants, as part of a broader termination of community violence intervention grants valued at $811 million, severely impacting urban centers like New York and Chicago that are grappling with rising violence. The Justice Department justifies these cancellations, stating that the terminated programs no longer align with…

A Massachusetts commission has officially recommended that the Legislature explore firearms microstamping technology, a potential tool designed to help law enforcement solve gun-related crimes. This technology engraves a unique code on cartridge casings each time a gun is fired, which could significantly enhance the evidentiary value in criminal investigations. Nine commissioners supported the recommendation, while dissenters, including Republican members, expressed concerns regarding its legality and feasibility, citing the challenges faced by similar measures in other states. The commission’s findings reflect a broader commitment to enhancing gun safety laws in Massachusetts, known for its stringent firearms regulations. As the debate continues,…

The shooter responsible for the recent attack in New York City legally transported an AR-15 rifle from Nevada, a move permitted under the federal Gun Safe Passage Act. This legislation allows gun owners to travel through states with stricter gun laws without facing prosecution, provided the firearm is unloaded and stored appropriately during transit. However, the legality of having an AR-15 in New York City is an entirely different matter, as such firearms are prohibited for purchase within the state. Local officials, including Governor Kathy Hochul, are urging for stronger measures to ensure that states align their gun laws to…
