Two men were arrested after authorities found 30 handguns allegedly destined for Mexico hidden in a spare tire during an inspection on the southern border in Texas, officials said Friday. The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) seized the weapons this week at the Anzalduas Port of Entry in Mission, a town on the Texas-Mexico border, the agency said. DPS special agents searched a 2015 Chevy pickup as part of a multi-agency task force with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) around 9:30 a.m. Wednesday. "During the inspection, special agents discovered 30 handguns, including a...

Could the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) protection of the National Firearms Act (NFA) in Silencer Shop v BATF be a tactical move to bring the case to the Supreme Court? The Supreme Court case United States v Windsor upended centuries of precedent and jurisprudence in the United States by finding a key part of the Defense of Marriage Act to be unconstitutional. The Obama administration played a key part in this policy shift by claiming the act was constitutional, thus protecting “standing” in the case. Later, the Obama DOJ switched sides and agreed with Windsor that the Defense of...

Santa Ana police have arrested four adults and a 15-year-old boy in connection with a September shooting that left a 13-year-old dead and three other juveniles wounded, authorities announced Friday.

A Brazilian Harvard Law School professor who pleaded guilty last month to illegally firing an air rifle outside a Boston-area synagogue — and told police he was “hunting rats” — has agreed to leave the US following his arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement this week. Carlos Portugal Gouvea, 43, copped Nov. 13 to a single charge of illegal use of the air rifle in connection with the Oct. 2 incident outside of Brookline’s Temple Beth Zion, which took place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism. The scholar was arrested by ICE Boston Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO)...

Licenses Delayed, Rights Denied is a scholarly article that informs readers of the means six outlier states use to deny ordinary citizens their rights to keep and bear arms. The article is another excellent example of scholarship by Mark Smith, member of the Supreme Court Bar, distinguished Second Amendment scholar, and host of the Four Boxes Diner on YouTube. He is also a contributor at AmmoLand.com. The article has been published in the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy: Per Curiam, Fall of 2025, No. 23. The six states that are actively working to undermine the Bruen methodology are...

New Mexico’s anti-gun politicians are again taking aim at lawful firearms dealers, pushing a proposal that Second Amendment advocates warn could deliver the “final death blow” to the gun industry by criminalizing shops for crimes committed by others. For longtime Albuquerque gun dealer Arnie Gallegos, the narrative pushed by these lawmakers is far removed from reality. Gallegos, who has owned ABQ Guns for 15 years, already keeps a vigilant eye out for anything suspicious. “If they’re buying, like, 15 ARs, or they’re ordering an AR every week or something like that, that’s kind of a red flag,” he said. If...

In the winter of 2014, an adult female wolf was found dead in northern Minnesota, on the Grand Portage Indian Reservation. When the necropsy was performed, the cause of death was determined to be from a single wound from an ordinary pellet gun. Described as “low powered”, the pellet was almost certainly either .177 or .22 caliber. Although this incident occurred in 2014, I only learned of it this year. Ordinary pellet guns have been powerful enough to kill humans and even a black bear. The wolf was a lone female who had been driven out of the pack on...

Students had protested ICE enforcement against Muslim terrorist supporters. Two questions. 1. Why is a Pakistani Muslim terrorist at the University of Delaware? It’s a losing proposition for America and doesn’t seem to have paid off all that well. 2. How long until officials and the media insist that Luqmaan Khan, like the D.C. National Guard Afghan terrorist, was just ‘sad’ and we need to be understanding of everything he went through… to try and kill us. A University of Delaware student has been charged with felony possession of a machine gun and had plans to attack the campus, police...

University of Delaware student arrested with car full of guns, plans to carry out mass shooting — and chilling note about ‘martyrdom’ A University of Delaware student was arrested with a car full of guns, body armor, and a manifesto that declared he wanted to “kill all” in a mass shooting on the Wilmington campus to achieve “martyrdom.” Luqmaan Khan, 25, was arrested on Nov. 24 after cops found the high-powered cache in his car where he was parked in a public park after class hours.

Heavily armed gangs attacked Haiti’s central region over the weekend, killing men, women and children as they set fire to homes and forced survivors to flee into the darkness. Police made emergency calls for backup, asserting that 50% of the Artibonite region had fallen under gang control after the large-scale attacks targeting towns including Bercy and Pont-Sondé. “The population cannot live, cannot work, cannot move,” one of Haiti’s police unions, SPNH-17, said Sunday on X. “Losing the country’s 2 largest departments — West and Artibonite — is the greatest security failure in modern Haitian history.” The bulk of Haiti’s police...

An undergrad student is accused of plotting an attack on the University of Delaware Police Department after officers found weapons, armor, and a notebook containing "premeditated assault plans" and a diagram of the department during a traffic stop on Monday night. --SNIP-- Luqmaan Khan, 25, was arrested just around midnight after investigators say he was confronted by police while sitting in a pickup truck in Canby Park after hours.

A ridiculous bill was really just legislation about guns that look scary to the Assemblywoman from Berkeley Four people including three children are dead, and 19 in total were shot in Stockton, California Saturday night, at a family event inside of a banquet hall, ABC 10 reported. California Democrats have imposed the strictest gun laws in the U.S., but on lawful citizens and legal gun owners. Rather than focusing on those who commit violent crime, Democrats obsess over guns. And it’s not really working, is it? When guns are outlawed, only the outlaws have guns, as this horrific shooting in...

West Virginia National Guardsman Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe, 24, has begun responding to nurses after surviving a brutal ambush just blocks from the White House. The attack, carried out by an Afghan national who entered the United States under the Biden regime’s mass-entry refugee program, left Wolfe in critical condition and his fellow Guardswoman Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, dead. During a press conference Monday, West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey announced that Wolfe, though still in serious condition, showed the first encouraging signs of neurological responsiveness. Gov. Patrick Morrisey: “I want to say I’m not the doctor; I’m not going to...

Alleged gunman Luigi Mangione will be back in court Tuesday for a second day of testimony as the judge overseeing his state murder case weighs whether to throw out key evidence. On Monday, Judge Gregory Carro heard a 911 call a McDonald’s employee in Altoona, Pennsylvania, made telling the dispatcher some customers were concerned the alleged killer of United Healthcare Chief Executive Brian Thompson, who was fatally shot in Midtown Manhattan, was in the restaurant. Two corrections officers who work at SCI Huntingdon, the state prison where Mangione was held until he was extradited to New York to face charges,...

A manhunt continues for the people believed to have been behind the Stockton-area mass shooting that killed four and injured 11 at a child's birthday party. The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office said the attack appears to have been targeted. The ages of the victims who were killed were 8, 9, 14 and 21.

The 8-year-old who died was a third-grade student with the Stockton Unified School...

The United Kingdom needs to be turned off and rebooted. No, I take that back. It needs a whole new operating system. The current one has become infected with a virus that has scrambled everything, and there is no way to set things right. In the opposite world view this is totally fine. pic.twitter.com/v5CahE52GL— Rich Stewart 🔰 (@richdstew) November 29, 2025If you think this story is bonkers, it really is only the tip of the iceberg.
