The historic Ilion, N.Y., factory that produced Remington firearms and parts for nearly 200 years may soon become the site of a 200-megawatt data center. A second will follow, according to plans included with an application filed with the state of New York. It wasn’t until 2024 that the legendary production floors of Remington’s famed Ilion facility grew completely silent. That’s when Roundhill Group—purchaser of the firearm branch of Remington Outdoor during 2020’s bankruptcy proceedings—relocated operations of its RemArms company to LaGrange, Ga. The Ilion site was initially listed for sale at $10 million. In June 2025, WKTV, a CBS-TV…

This review started because I needed a band aid the other day and rather than dribble through the house, I went to the first aid kit in the minivan.  I was surprised at the amount of empty space in the plastic case, but there were the necessary items to handle the cut.

The U.S. Supreme Court has characterized handguns as the “quintessential” Second Amendment arm. Pistol braces increase accuracy and ease of operation for large-format handguns, especially for users suffering from physical disabilities. Yet not only have braced pistols been targeted by authorities in disproportion to their exceedingly rare use in violent crime, but it’s also currently impossible to determine their legal status. NRA-ILA is working to fix that. The issue dates back to 2012, when ATF examined a braced AR-type pistol and determined it was not a “short-barreled rifle” (SBR) for purposes of the National Firearms Act (NFA). Pistol braces then…

Today, the United States is facing a shortage of ammunition. Tariffs, foreign restrictions and international tensions are laying siege to our ammunition stores. Large plants such as Lake City are manufacturing ammo for the military, but ordinary citizens could be left out in the cold if ammo manufacturing doesn’t keep up with increasing demand. But this situation is nothing new, and a similar sort of circumstance faced our Founding Fathers at the beginning of the American Revolution. During the first two to three years following the opening salvos of the American Revolution, Washington’s army was faced with a scant stock…
