  • PopStop™ is a device designed to eliminate first round pop (FRP) in suppressors by injecting inert carbon dioxide to replace oxygen, thereby reducing impulse noise and suppressor flash. It has been shown to achieve noise reductions of up to 9 dB and can stabilize velocity standard deviations. The product is not compatible with all firearms, particularly 9mm pistols, and requires specific barrel measurements for proper use. Its introduction aims to enhance suppressor performance within the gun community.
  • Cloud Defensive has announced the RL-100, a new entry-level rifle light that combines performance with affordability, priced at $149.99 for early pre-orders. Designed for reliability and ease of use, the RL-100 aims to provide a high-quality lighting option for budget-conscious users and agencies without sacrificing performance. This product’s introduction may impact the gun community by offering a cost-effective alternative to higher-priced weapon lights, which could enhance accessibility for everyday users and law enforcement.

Agency Brief

AGENCY BRIEF: SHAYS’ REBELLION 

1780 – 1785: Economic Conditions

  • Veterans’ Pay: Paid in depreciated Continental currency/IOUs.
  • State Policy: Massachusetts demands taxes in hard currency (gold/silver).
  • The Debt: Boston merchants control state debt; courts aggressively foreclose on farms and imprison debtors.

August – October 1786: Escalation

  • Aug 29: 1,500 “Regulators” seize the Northampton courthouse to stop debtor trials.
  • Sept: Armed shutdowns spread to Worcester, Concord, and Great Barrington. Captain Daniel Shays emerges as leader.
  • Sept 26: Shays (600 men) vs. Gen. Shepard (militia) at Springfield Supreme Judicial Court. No fire exchanged; court adjourns.
  • Oct 20: Continental Congress authorizes troops but lacks funds. MA passes Riot Act (arrests without bail).

January 1787: The Private Army

  • Jan 4: Gov. Bowdoin authorizes a private militia.
  • Funding: 125 Boston merchants subscribe £6,000.
  • Force: 3,000 mercenaries raised, led by Gen. Benjamin Lincoln.

January 25, 1787: Springfield Arsenal (The Climax)

  • Objective: Shays leads ~1,200 men to seize 7,000 muskets/cannons at the federal arsenal.
  • Defense: Gen. Shepard (900 militia) defends the arsenal.
  • The Engagement:
    1. Shepard fires artillery warning shots over rebels’ heads.
    2. Rebels advance.
    3. Shepard fires grapeshot directly into the ranks.
  • Casualties: 4 rebels dead, 20 wounded. Rebels flee without firing.

February – June 1787: The Fallout

  • Feb 4: Gen. Lincoln marches overnight through a blizzard to Petersham, surprising retreating rebels. 150 captured; Shays escapes to Vermont.
  • Spring Election: Gov. Bowdoin is voted out in a landslide; John Hancock elected Governor.
  • June: Hancock issues broad pardons. Legislature enacts debt moratoriums and lowers taxes.

1787 – 1791: Constitutional Impact

  • May 1787: Constitutional Convention convenes; Washington/Madison cite Shays’ Rebellion as proof the Articles of Confederation failed.
  • 1788: Anti-Federalists demand a Bill of Rights to check the power of the proposed federal standing army.
  • 1791: Second Amendment ratified.

Modern Parallels

  • Narrative: Veterans labeled “insurrectionists” for resisting economic policy.
  • Tactics: Use of private capital to fund state enforcement when tax revenue failed.
  • Legal Precedent: Establishing the “well-regulated militia” as a counter-balance to federal military power.

Reviews

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from TwinDadARguy – Great show, been listening for about 4 or so years. Just heard the convo about Aaron’s weird ability to pull interest from the fairer sex. You couldn’t come up with a good word for it – I’m here to help. The perfect word is conFAUXdence. You’re welcome.

 

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Devin K – Where is the damn squares button!? Love this show and all the antics that come along with it.

    Lever action debate that would be fun to listen too.
    What’s your favorite lever action caliber for whitetail hunting?
    What would be the one you would take if you needed to defend that SSB.

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from System AI – A review and comparison to bring us all back to Dungeon Crawler Carl.


    Let’s pair each cast member to a Character from DCC.

    First, Shawn, obviously he’s Carl. He’s the main character. He’s powerful. He’s the reason we are all here. There may or may not be a Cat that led him here. He likely has someone obsessed with his feet and definitely only has heart boxers on behind his desk.

    Second, Aaron, he’s Prepotene. Smart and powerful. Sometimes on the team, sometimes in the way, sometimes nowhere to be seen. Probably rides a Goat. Screams nonsense from time to time. Would be dead without the rest of the team.

    Third, Jeremy. Jeremy is Quasar. Swears constantly
    Hates the leader/rulers of the galaxy and game. Is there everytime we need him. Will likely be the reason the rest end up in a prison.

    Fourth, Savage. He’s JuiceBox. Extremely smart. AI generated. Self aware. Playing the same game but may have a different motive. Likely to lead to the downfall of the show.

    Last, Nick. Nick is Samantha. Much more powerful then he’s willing to let on. Always growing in power. A very important member to keep the show running. Would be dangerous if all his organs worked correctly. And Shawn has definitely been inside him.

    These comparisons can not be altered. Debate will result in acceleration.

    Thanks for your attention to this matter.

    Signed,
    Gary/System AI.
