Territory Court Guts Gun Rights
American Samoa's High Court ruled the Second Amendment doesn't apply in the unincorporated territory, letting a near-total gun ban take effect. Unlike other U.S. territories, American Samoa has no federal court — leaving the fix squarely in President Trump's hands.
DOJ Sues Minnesota Over Gun Permits

NFA Items in 2026: What Actually Changed, and Who It Applies To
Two changes eleven months apart did more to the National Firearms Act than anything since 1934. The $200 tax on suppressors, SBRs and SBSs went to zero on January 1. On August 5 a federal judge struck the registration scheme itself. But that injunction covers a specific list of people, and living in a plaintiff state does not put you on it.

Arizona 2026 Hunting Regulations: What Changed
Arizona came into 2026 with a handful of real regulatory changes on the books — amended Article 4 wildlife rules now in effect, a legislative push to lock in the right to hunt at the statutory level, and a proposed landowner deer permit system that could reshape how private-land deer hunting works…
Wyoming 2026 Hunting Regulations: What Changed
Wyoming's 2026 hunting season brings two meaningful legislative changes — one reshaping how nonresident access is capped on the state's most coveted species, and another reworking how landowners can stack licenses. If you hunt Wyoming or plan to, both matter.
Colorado 2026 Hunting Regulations: What Changed
Colorado's 2026 hunting seasons came with a handful of changes worth knowing before you put in your applications — bison hunting is now a legal thing under specific conditions, CWD testing rules shifted depending on whether you're chasing elk or deer, and the Gunnison Basin just closed the door on…
Home Defense Firearms: Shotgun vs Pistol vs AR-15
Somebody breaks your front door at 2 a.m. You've got maybe seconds to get to your firearm, get your family clear, and be ready. The gun sitting in your nightstand better be one you can actually run -- not the one that looked cool at the gun store six months ago.
