Bullet Points

  • Vortex has released the Viper HD 11-33×50 spotting scope, designed for hunters seeking mobility and performance in the field. Its lightweight, durable construction and advanced optical features aim to enhance hunting experiences, likely appealing to the gun community as the hunting season begins. The MSRP is set at $849.99.

  • Shield Arms has developed high-capacity metal magazines and an all-metal magwell for the Glock 43X, enhancing its capacity from 10+1 rounds to up to 20+1 rounds. These modifications aim to improve the pistol’s usability for self-defense, addressing its original limitations. The innovations could positively impact the gun community by providing more efficient options for concealed carry and self-defense.

Going Ballistic

  • A new study suggests that legal gun owners are statistically more stable than the general population, challenging narratives that link gun ownership to mental instability. This finding underscores that gun crimes are primarily perpetrated by individuals with psychopathic tendencies rather than law-abiding gun enthusiasts, likely boosting morale among the gun community and countering gun control arguments.

  • The article critiques the media’s focus on gun control while neglecting the implications of mental health issues. It argues that this oversight negatively affects the understanding of gun-related incidents, suggesting that the gun community is being unfairly targeted in the narrative shaping public opinion about firearm ownership and regulation.

  • The Texas Supreme Court has ruled on a complaint regarding the state fair’s gun ban, addressing omissions in the arguments presented by Attorney General Ken Paxton. This decision may impact the broader gun rights discussions and reinforce the Second Amendment rights in Texas, much to the chagrin of gun control advocates.

  • A Florida city has implemented a gun ban in response to Hurricane Helene, aiming to prevent violence and looting during the storm. This action has sparked criticism and concern within the gun community, as it is seen as a direct infringement on Second Amendment rights during a time when law-abiding citizens may need their firearms for self-defense and protection.

  • The NRA is urging the Supreme Court to review a case regarding the assault weapons ban, which could potentially impact regulations on firearm ownership. The outcome may influence the broader gun community’s sentiment and legal landscape surrounding the Second Amendment.

  • A new organization has emerged, claiming to represent grassroots support for gun control, further fueling the anti-gun agenda. This development may impact the gun community by mobilizing opposition and reinforcing the perception of an organized effort against Second Amendment rights.

  • Florida is moving closer to lifting its open carry ban as the state’s Attorney General has announced plans not to defend the law. This decision may bolster gun rights advocates and potentially lead to a broader acceptance of open carry practices, stirring discontent among gun control proponents.

  • The appeal in the Auto Key Card case argues that the ATF’s standards could categorize any AR-15 as a machine gun, raising concerns about the implications for gun ownership and regulation. This could aggravate tensions within the gun community, as it challenges the definition of firearms and emphasizes the unpredictable nature of government interpretations regarding gun laws.

  • Marion Hammer’s resignation from the NRA Board highlights a shift in leadership dynamics within the organization. Her departure may signal changes in strategy and influence, potentially affecting NRA’s approach to firearms advocacy. Gun control advocates might see this as an opportunity, but it remains to be seen how this will play out within the broader gun community.

  • A Florida city has unlawfully prohibited the sale of firearms and ammunition, as well as concealed carry for residents, during Hurricane Helene. This action raises concerns within the gun community about government overreach and the right to self-defense during emergencies.

  • Kamala Harris claimed that guns are the leading cause of death for children, a statement that has been fact-checked and found to be inaccurate. This misrepresentation may further fuel debates around gun control, potentially mobilizing gun advocates to push back against such narratives.

  • The Biden administration is implementing new executive actions aimed at increasing gun control measures. This move is expected to further polarize the gun community, with advocates resisting any restrictions on Second Amendment rights and opponents pushing for heightened regulations.

  • California Governor Gavin Newsom has enacted 24 new gun control measures, further tightening regulations on firearms. These changes are likely to stir up discontent within the gun community, as advocates see them as additional restrictions on Second Amendment rights.

  • Parents of Parkland shooting victims are promoting gun control through a video game centered around school shootings, aimed at raising awareness. This initiative could polarize the gun community, as it may be seen as an attempt to leverage tragedy for political gain while potentially igniting further discussions on gun rights and regulations.

  • President Biden and Vice President Harris announced new measures aimed at reducing gun violence, which they claim will protect lives. These actions are expected to generate pushback from the gun community, who view them as infringements on Second Amendment rights and as ineffective solutions to crime.

Reviews

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Zbob –

    ▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️ (5 squares) I listen to every episode and enjoy them throughly. Turns out it takes a group of degens from upcountry discussing use cases, night vision with a sprinkle of lumens vs candela to keep me distracted from working in attics and crawl spaces. Keep it up boys.

 

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Jordan – Hey guys

  • ,

    Regarding DT240 Gaggle of murder chickens. Murder of thieving birds. Flock of sea chickens (or tactical ducks in this case).
    Anyway, as a poor, that like Savage said has “destitute” tier stuff, across the firearm type board, that listens to WLS while we pay the bills, I have no delusions about my stuff being “jUsT aS Guud”. For me though, it something better than a sharp stick. If it works, when it’s actually needed & doesn’t grenade in my hand, I’m good. Do I want and know I need better, no shit. It’s the dudes that swear “My $450 PSA Freedom AR has been through 10,000rds without cleaning/lubing once in 10yrs without a hiccup” etc….come on guys. You’re full of shit. We can be “The poors” and not be the belligerent “GuD ’nuff for the Boogaloo” guys.
    In the meantime, I’ll continue to clock in, clock out, shoot when life allows. Just STFU & don’t be a tard. Do what you can afford for now, ya know.
    All that ramble aside, love the show. Gets me through driving on night shift.

 

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Mike C – You won’t find a better group of girls talking about guns. Shawna is the head gal who keeps the rest of the cackling hens in order. Nikki is the true brains behind the operation bringing intellect into what would otherwise be a dumpster fire. Jennie is the muscle of the group. She also has a crazy amount of knowledge on the history of firearms. Erin is the dramatic one, always starting fights within the group like a real housewife of Michigan. And last but not least we have Savannah. She’s a petite woman with alopecia and there’s nothing more to say about her. Best podcast out there about guns hands down. Keep up the good work ladies.
