He encountered the Messiah, the Son of God, the Savior of the world, and in response to Jesus’ simple yet profound invitation—“Follow me”—Levi left everything behind and followed Him. This radical decision offers an inspiring witness...

SShould I carry a concealed handgun?Yes. Next question?Generally, the answer is still yes, but it’s a bit more complicated.

Sadly, rifles are heavy and hard to conceal, so handguns are the best compromise. Even if one lives in...

FIRST ON FOX: Former President Barack Obama once declared that his presidential center would be a "gift" to Chicago, but taxpayers are on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars in hidden costs related to the beleaguered project.

Los Angeles County has slapped Roblox with a lawsuit accusing the wildly popular kids’ gaming platform of giving predators a gateway to groom and exploit children.

The New Mexico legislature is considering a combination gun ban and hyper-regulatory bill, SB17. It is covered in a previous article at Ammoland. The bill bans the future sale of most semi-automatic firearms and detachable magazines that hold more than ten rounds of ammunition. Those parts of the bill are almost certainly unconstitutional. The bill also imposes costly regulatory measures likely to drive many small dealers out of business. SB17 has passed the Senate 21 to 17, with two senators not voting and two more senators absent. The bill is sponsored by six Democratic Party Senators and Senator Peter Wirth,...

Mike Huckabee's analogies regarding land rights and defense, specifically his suggestion that if a people like the Irish can defend their land, they can keep it—have been viewed as a significant rhetorical own goal that complicates the very pro-Israel stance he intended to defend. Critics and media analysts have highlighted several major ramifications of this logic and analysts have noted the internal contradiction in Huckabee's argument. By shifting the justification from a divine mandate (the Promised Land) to a right of conquest/defense media commentators pointed out that the Irish analogy is particularly fraught. If land ownership is determined solely by...
