The National Rifle Association (NRA) has reignited the debate over constitutional carry laws in Oklahoma, responding to a recent killing in Oklahoma City. The organization issued a challenge to Governor Mary Fallin, calling the incident a “wake-up call” and suggesting that support for constitutional carry legislation is still alive, despite previous setbacks. This renewal of interest comes from Broken Arrow Senator Nathan Dahm, a vocal advocate for these laws, who indicated that the matter merits reconsideration. Amid growing discussions on firearm legislation, the NRA’s intervention highlights a broader national conversation on gun rights and public safety. Supporters argue that constitutional…
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene engages in a heated exchange with MAGA pundit Mike Cernovich after he suggests she should serve out her term in Congress, which ends in November 2026. Greene, who announced her resignation effective January 5, 2026, invokes Trump’s harsh criticism of her as a “traitor” and defends her political actions during a tirade where she calls for Cernovich to take concrete action instead of “sh*tposting.” In her response, Greene not only questions the notion of serving until “assassinated” like another conservative figure but also criticizes what she sees as a patronizing attitude from Republican men. This exchange…
In a significant law enforcement effort, federal agencies have confiscated 111 illegal guns in Washington, D.C., as part of a recent surge aimed at reducing gun-related violence. U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro highlighted that these firearms can no longer be used to perpetrate crime, but the operation has ignited a debate over its long-term efficacy in tackling gun violence in the city. While some residents support the removal of weapons from the streets, critics, including gun rights advocates and safety organizations, argue that this approach may misallocate resources. Gun Owners of America spokesperson Luis Valdes expressed concern over potential…
A Miami-Dade barber, Samuel Wilson, reports a terrifying incident where a longtime customer assaulted him with a gun following a dispute over a haircut at his shop, Square Cutz. The situation escalated when the customer, who was reportedly wearing a county uniform, left the barbershop in anger but soon returned armed, pointing the weapon at Wilson while two children looked on nearby. Wilson, who has been serving the local community for five years, expressed disbelief that the confrontation would turn violent, stating, “I thought we might have fisticuffs…but I didn’t think he was going to come back with a firearm.”…
Alberta’s Premier Danielle Smith reveals plans to introduce a motion next week aimed at defying Ottawa’s firearm seizure program, utilizing provincial sovereignty legislation. This initiative, announced during the United Conservative Party’s annual meeting, instructs local governments and law enforcement to reject enforcement of the federal buy-back scheme for banned assault-style firearms. The motion marks a significant escalation in the ongoing debate over gun control, with Smith emphasizing that Alberta’s law enforcement should focus on real criminals, not law-abiding gun owners. If approved, the motion may complicate the role of the RCMP in Alberta, which operates under federal jurisdiction, as tensions…

JWR’s Introductory Note: This is an update to an article that I wrote for SurvivalBlog back in December, 2007. It is part of a series of SurvivalBlog 20th Anniversary update re-posts, in recognition of the fact that the majority of readers did not join us until recent years. — As of September, 2025, statistics released by the Federal government claim that the current inflation rate is 3.0 percent. That is utter hogwash. Their statistics cunningly omit “volatile” food and energy prices. It is apparent that something is seriously out of whack. Meanwhile, the buying power of the US Dollar has…
In a dramatic encounter, San Bernardino police fatally shoot an armed suspect during a robbery attempt that escalated inside the Express Market. The suspect, armed with a rifle, had allegedly pressed a loaded gun to the store clerk’s head and fired a shot during a struggle, narrowly missing the clerk before fleeing to retrieve the longer weapon. As the situation intensified, the clerk managed to alert responding officers just as the suspect turned back toward the store, rifle in hand. In a confrontation, the suspect pointed the rifle at the police, leading to the officer-involved shooting that left the suspect…
