Every suppressor manufacturer on the planet will tell you theirs are quiet. That is not exactly a bold claim for a marketing department to make. The good news is that since 2023, a different kind of test has been changing the conversation. The TBAC (Thunder Beast Arms Company) Silencer Summit brings competing manufacturers to the same facility, puts their cans on the same rifles with the same ammunition, and measures everything with professional B&K PULSE equipment. Nobody gets to cherry-pick the numbers. The 2025 Summit, held in Cheyenne, Wyoming, ran for five days in August and covered more than 375…

Since the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill last year removed the $200 tax on suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), and firearms classified as “any other weapons,” the National Firearms Act (NFA) is basically a tax law without taxes. That’s why at least three lawsuits have been filed in different courts across the nation challenging the remainder of the law. One such case, Peterson v. United States, could be headed to the U.S. Supreme Court after the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that “firearm accessories” such as suppressors are not protected by the Second Amendment. And…

They make some very effective pistol lights, many of which feature integrated lasers. There are lights for just about any purpose and budget… check them out here. I own several of them… some not only have very bright lights, but also sport some interesting lasers in colors like cyan, blue, and purple. in addition to the “standard” colors of red and green. Those blue and purple lasers stand out in daylight, and positively pop in the dark.  I…

Two Republican lawmakers have introduced a federal measure that would prohibit states, localities, or any other organization from using federal funding and background check information to maintain gun registries. On February 25, U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Mississippi, and U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Arizona, reintroduced S 3916, the Gun-owner Registration Information Protection (GRIP) Act. The measure would clarify existing law prohibiting states or local entities from using federal funds to store or disclose sensitive, personal information related to the legal ownership or possession of firearms. “The Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens remain imperiled as Democrats and anti-gun activists lean into…

Images by the author The Ruger Security moniker has been around for a long time. It started in 1972 when Ruger introduced a mid-sized-frame, six-shot DA .357 Magnum revolver to compete with similar wheelguns made by Colt and Smith and Wesson. As per Ruger’s business model, it was designed with the everyday shooter in mind, but its main purpose was to attract the attention of agencies seeking a duty revolver.  The Security Six (and later Service Six and Speed Six) guns were solid, no-frills guns that came in 2.75-, 3-, 4-, and 6-inch barrel lengths. They were made both in…

We’ve chronicled several times this year how lawful gun owners in Virginia have been firmly in the crosshairs of gun-ban advocates this session, emboldened by the election of Democrat Abigail Spanberger as governor late last year. Four punitive anti-gun measures have recently been sent to Gov. Spanberger for her consideration after being approved in both the House and the Senate. And all will have dire consequences for law-abiding Virginians if Gov. Spanberger signs them into law. One measure, Senate Bill 727, would outlaw the carrying and transporting of many common firearms on public property. And according to a report from…

Left-wing journalist and self-described “disturbed editorial cartoonist” for Alabama’s AL.com, JD Crowe, recently wrote a piece so indicative of Constitutional ignorance that I felt the need to make fun of him, publicly. His piece (of trash), entitled “Bullets for breakfast? Alabama proposes ammo tax holiday while still taxing groceries,” is exactly the type of emotionally devious drivel used to sway those seen by leftist elites as easily manipulated, or useful idiots. The article even begins with the tagline, “Let them eat bullets. – Alabama GOP lawmakers, probably,” a deliberate double entendre undoubtedly meant to stoke fear and demonize political opposition,…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Over the weekend, two Toronto synagogues were attacked by gunfire. Several days earlier, another synagogue was hit by around twenty gunshots on the Jewish holiday of Purim. Though the three attacks caused no injuries, many in the Jewish community are demanding concrete action from Prime Minister Mark Carney — not just words of comfort that have typically followed such antisemitic incidents.Carney took to X saying that the “antisemitic and criminal attacks violate the right of Canadian Jewish men and women to live and pray in complete safety” and “represent a serious assault on…
