  • Gun Control: Still a Joke?

Going Ballistic

  • A pro-Israel veteran in Newton, Massachusetts, shot a man who charged at him during a protest, leading to serious injuries for the assailant. The veteran, Scott Hayes, is facing legal charges despite having legal gun possession, with his supporters claiming he acted in self-defense. The incident highlights ongoing tensions surrounding protests and gun rights amidst contentious political issues.
  • North Carolina classifies NFA items as weapons of mass destruction
  • Vice President Kamala Harris, in her first solo interview as the Democratic nominee, discussed her support for the Second Amendment while calling for an assault weapons ban and universal background checks. Her statements may further polarize opinions within the gun community, as they illustrate a divide between the advocacy for gun rights and proposed safety measures.
  • In Seattle, a gunman threatened moviegoers at a theater, prompting chaos and a police response, despite stringent gun control laws in Washington. This incident underscores a paradox where increased regulations fail to prevent firearm-related threats, prompting further scrutiny of the effectiveness of existing gun control measures.
  • An affidavit reveals that Ryan Wesley Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate Trump, possessed a loaded SKS rifle, which some sources incorrectly referred to as an AK-47. The incident has reinvigorated discussions on gun rights, particularly emphasizing the nuance between different firearm classifications as gun control advocates continue to conflate them.
  • The ATF and DOJ are attempting to pressure the 3D printing industry to block the production of homemade gun parts, including devices that can convert semi-automatic firearms to fully automatic ones. Despite their efforts, the feasibility of effectively preventing such printing remains highly unlikely due to the decentralized nature of the technology and the open-source nature of many slicing programs. This move reflects the government’s ongoing struggles with gun control in the age of advanced manufacturing technology, highlighting the resilience of the gun community in circumventing restrictions.
  • The trial challenging Illinois’ ban on common semi-automatic firearms and magazines is set to begin, supported by various gun rights organizations. The outcome of this litigation could set important precedents for similar cases nationwide, particularly after a prior Seventh Circuit ruling allowed the ban to take effect despite opposition. The gun community is preparing for a vigorous legal battle, focusing on defending the Second Amendment rights and countering state arguments regarding firearm regulation.
  • A new Ohio study shows a decrease in gun-related crime after the implementation of ‘constitutional carry,’ coinciding with Representative Thomas Massie’s introduction of the National Constitutional Carry Act, which seeks to eliminate permitting requirements for carrying firearms nationwide. While the bill faces significant hurdles in Congress and a certain veto from the current administration, Massie’s effort is viewed as a push to strengthen Second Amendment rights amid ongoing debates on gun control.
  • Following a failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump, firearm sales and background checks surged in August 2024, with increases of 9% and 5% respectively compared to the previous year. This spike reflects a growing trend of Americans seeking self-reliance amid political and international chaos, as well as favorable pricing on firearms. The ongoing rise in sales suggests a robust response from the gun community, further solidifying the presence of a well-armed citizenry.
  • This summer saw a surge in suppressor sales, attributed to the ATF’s quicker processing times for Form 4 applications, with individuals now receiving approvals in under a week. While homemade suppressor applications have plummeted due to ATF crackdowns, registered suppressors continue to grow, particularly among individual owners. Suppressors are increasingly recognized as hearing protection devices, moving away from their Hollywood villain image, but gun control measures persist in states like Illinois.
  • The NRA Political Victory Fund has launched a $2 million ad campaign targeting Senator Jon Tester for his support of gun-control legislation as the 2024 election cycle heats up. This significant spending highlights the gun community’s pushback against what they perceive as threats to Second Amendment rights, particularly in a crucial Senate race that could impact the balance of power. Meanwhile, gun-control groups have been relatively inactive in this race, focusing their resources on other states.

Reviews

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from ted in ladera ranch, ca – the gun info is great of course . . but the reason i find myself leaving your show running all the time is because you are ordinary guys. it’s really simple.
  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Me – Dropped to number 2 favorite let’s go hunt jumped ahead. Kinda of mad they talked me into a Mitchell defense as a last ditch effort to like ar’s. Hopefully the missing one is found alive.
  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Pookiebear – WLS is audible aids. But once you have the aids you may as well continue to indulge. The show has become my favorite thing to listen to on podcast for great takes and opinions… but mainly because of Jeremy. He gives Alex Jones vibes. Shawn and Savage are whats turning the frogs gay. Nick definitely eats bananas for the shape and not for the nutritional value. Aaron…. well. That is all.
