The Wild West was awesome, but that's not to say it was as attractive as some video games, television, and films make it out to look.

There's a lot of false facts about the old west out there in the wild, and we're here to run 'em down, tie 'em up, and leave 'em on the train tracks, like the dastardly myth-busters we are.

Prepare for the wild east, and more specifically, The Big Apple firearms circus, because SCOTUS has ruled that NY gun laws are restrictive.

The case of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen was based on a lawsuit brought by two NY men who challenged a state law that requires them to have a “proper cause,” or special need, in order to carry a firearm outside their home. The ruling will have a ripple effect on other states with similar restrictions, such as California, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Jersey.
