Late Sunday night, a National Guard member took a round to the leg while trying to break up a fight less than a block from Eastern Market on Capitol Hill. According to WTOP News, Interim D.C. Police Chief Jeffrey Carroll said a group of Guard troops saw the fight outside an establishment shortly after 11 […]

Jeff Cooper once said carry a .25 if it makes you feel good, but don’t load it. If you shoot somebody with it, he might get mad. That line stuck around for decades because, for a long time, it matched what people saw on the range and in gel tests. American Rifleman recently took a […]

Remember the warnings? After the Supreme Court handed down the Bruen decision in 2022, gun control groups didn’t just disagree—they went full apocalypse. Brady said it would “assuredly result in more gun violence immediately.” Everytown’s Eric Tirschwell claimed more people would be “intimidated, wounded and killed.” New York City’s mayor at the time, Eric Adams, […]

October 9, 2026 — Yeah, you read that right. Starting today, the ATF is treating suppressors (silencers, whatever you call ’em), SBRs, AND AOWs like regular firearms for transfer purposes. No more Form 4. No registration. No waiting months for a stamp that already costs zero dollars. This comes straight from an Open Letter signed […]

Reports out of the Democratic Republic of the Congo say Tim Kennedy got shot. Multiple times. Mostly in the leg. A three-man element, an ambush dated September 17, an evacuation that dragged on for close to eight hours, then a flight back to the States. Stable, according to the people passing the story around. Kennedy […]

California did not ban flash-bangs on September 29. Gavin Newsom signed a narrower bill, and the press still sold it as a crackdown on “military-style weapons.” SB 937 is Chapter 754 of the 2026 statutes. Senator Lena Gonzalez of Long Beach wrote it. Scott Wiener coauthored it. It takes effect January 1, 2027. Read the […]

Tactical Shit is moving two Team Wendy ballistic helmets at blowout prices. The Big Brain Bucket Blowout is the EXFIL Ballistic SL. The Little Brain Bucket Blowout is the EPIC Specialist Ballistic High Cut. Both are current shells. Both are in stock. The price is the overstock deal. Who Team Wendy started in 1997 in […]

Tehran’s line on Wednesday was simple enough: the United States sent something back. Not a press conference. Not a signed deal. A response. Iranian officials say Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi put it in front of President Masoud Pezeshkian at a Cabinet meeting after New York, Doha, and a week of shuttle talk through Qatar. Government […]

Read the copper headlines and you’ll hear about data centers, EVs, and grid wire. Fair enough. Those uses swallow metal by the trainload. What doesn’t make the bank notes is the small, stubborn pile of copper sitting in every brass-cased cartridge. Cartridge brass is roughly 70 percent copper. Jacketed bullets are copper over a lead […]

The ATF still will not publish a list. That part matters more than the press-release language. Director Robert Cekada told an FFL crowd in Dallas that some products sold as forced reset triggers are the real thing, and some “may be” machine guns. He would not say which ones. Manufacturers are supposed to guess. Dealers […]
