Hello everyone and welcome back to This Week in Guns, brought to you by Patriot Patch Company, FFLPayments, and MAF Corporation. This show offers commentary on the latest firearms industry news, information and buzz. I’m your host Matthew Larosiere and I’m joined by the ratman.

– Rare Breed’s aggressive litigation tactics and questionable patent claims have led to widespread criticism and legal challenges, highlighting the potential for abuse within the patent system.
– A recent ATF letter regarding the improper pinning and welding of a Beretta 71 barrel extension has been misinterpreted and sensationalized by gun rights groups, causing unnecessary panic among gun owners.
– The Supreme Court’s unanimous decision in favor of Smith & Wesson against the Mexican government’s lawsuit underscores the protection provided by the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, though it also reveals the court’s hesitancy to address broader Second Amendment issues promptly.
