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 […]

Manufacturers are supposed to guess. Dealers […]

Seven weeks after a Texas judge blocked National Firearms Act registration for covered suppressor and short-barreled firearm transfers, ATF Director Robert Cekada finally answered the question dealers have been asking since August. An FFL found transferring suppressors on a Form 4473 will not be cited for that practice. Former NFA Division Chief Steve Albro went […]

Well it f***ing happened. Again. On September 18, 2026, our Instagram page got deleted. No warning. No specific post called out. No chance to appeal. Just gone.
