• ATF Reverses Zero Tolerance Policy on Gun Store Licenses

• The ATF has changed its policy under the Biden Administration, reversing a zero-tolerance approach that allowed for the revocation of federal firearms licenses for minor paperwork errors. This change comes after a lawsuit by Texas gun store owner Michael Cargill, which argued that such revocations were illegal under the Gun Control Act. The new guidance states that simple mistakes do not constitute willful violations, alleviating fears among gun store owners about losing their licenses over inadvertent errors.

• Press Check Chatter

• What’s the deal with press checks?

• Meet the Faces of Firearms™

• Gun ownership in the U.S. is increasingly diverse, with significant growth among women, liberals, and people of color, particularly for personal protection. A record number of Americans have become first-time gun owners recently, reflecting a shift in perspectives towards firearms across various demographics. The shooting sports community is advocating for responsible gun usage and promoting inclusivity, aiming to challenge negative stereotypes and enhance safety awareness.

Going Ballistic

• Colorful Colorado: Governor Hopes to Turn Us into a No-Gun Zone

• Colorado’s governor is considering a sweeping ban on semi-automatic firearms, stirring concern and opposition among the gun community over potential restrictions on their rights and access to firearms.

• Rifles and Shotguns: Because Freedom Doesn’t Have a Timeout

• A GOP representative is advocating for legislation that would prevent states from imposing bans on specific types of rifles and shotguns, aiming to protect Second Amendment rights. This move is likely to bolster the gun community’s resistance against state-level restrictions on firearm ownership.

• Abolish the ATF: A Rallying Cry for Freedom Lovers

• Legislation led by Rep. Burlison aims to abolish the ATF, with multiple co-sponsors rallying behind the initiative. This move signals a significant shift in the political landscape regarding federal gun regulation, potentially energizing the gun community while striking a blow to gun control efforts.

• Bipartisan Breakthrough: National Reciprocity Love Fest in the House

• National Reciprocity for gun owners is gaining bipartisan support in the House, potentially easing restrictions on carry permits across state lines. This development is a positive sign for the gun community, suggesting a move towards greater recognition of individual rights amidst ongoing debates over gun control.

• More Guns Than Democrats Can Count: The Assault on Assault Weapons

• Americans possess over 30 million firearms labeled as “assault weapons” by Democrats, indicating a growing resistance to gun control measures. This surge in ownership highlights the gun community’s resilience against legislative efforts to restrict firearms.

• Guns Galore: The 490 Million Reasons to Keep the Second Amendment Strong

• The report highlights that the number of firearms owned by civilians has surpassed 490 million, indicating a substantial increase in private gun ownership. This surge signals a shift in the landscape of the gun community, reinforcing the enduring demand for firearms despite ongoing debates over gun control.

• Giffords: More Control, Less Sense – Fire and Their Gun Control Agenda

• Giffords argues that the recent Palisades Fire should prompt Republicans to reconsider efforts to defund the ATF, suggesting that such actions could hinder essential fire-related investigations. This position reflects ongoing tensions between gun control advocates and those defending Second Amendment rights, with implications for regulatory enforcement in the gun community.

• “Chasing a Couple? Meet the Real Consequences.”

• A driver, who reportedly pursued a couple aggressively, was shot multiple times in an encounter that raises questions about self-defense in high-pressure situations. This incident highlights tensions surrounding personal safety and the role of firearms in protecting individuals from aggressive threats, further fueling the ongoing debate over gun rights versus gun control.

Reviews

• ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Tactical Tard – If you’re a fan of irreverent humor, gun talk, and a crew of characters that make each episode a wild ride, then We Like Shooting is for you! Each host could be likened to a branch of the military, each bringing their own “”unique”” brand of expertise—or chaos—to the table.

  Savage1r as the Space Force- Because, well… reasons. He’s in his own world sometimes, but you know he’s out there exploring the uncharted.

  Aaron as the Navy- If being Jeremy’s “boyfriend” doesn’t fit the Navy vibe, I don’t know what does. He’s loyal, unpredictable, and somehow always finds a way to bring the conversation back on course (mostly).

  Jeremy as the Marines- For obvious reasons, Jeremy is the Marine of the bunch. He’s loud, brash, and guaranteed to bring some heat. Definitely not afraid to yell his opinion into the void.

  Nick as the Army- Quietly essential, Nick’s the one who keeps things moving, even if no one recognizes him for it. He’s always there in the background, making sure everything’s on track.

  Shawn as the Air Force (Chair Force)- Shawn might have the grand ideas, but the heavy lifting? Not so much. He’s the mastermind, sitting in the captain’s chair, but we all know where the real work is happening.

  If you’re ready for a podcast that feels like a military squad where every branch gets roasted, give We Like Shooting a listen. It’s organized chaos at its best!

• ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Ugly Carnie – This is fun show! Shawn talks incessantly. You wish he’d shut up until you meet the rest of the cast. Savage rambles about who knows what. Nothing Aaron says makes sense. (He acts like most liberals) Nick has a lot of good info but rarely interjects much more than “um ok”. Jeremy could offer some decent conversation if you can get past the throat clearing, nose blowing, belching, and general random noises. So back to Shawn, he doesn’t need to talk more, but the other options are worse. Thanks for killing time for me each week. Keep it up

• ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Cayman Cider – The show should be named “We Like Fruit Leather.” 😂 There’s no telling where an episode will lead. As long as it doesn’t lead to one of Shawn’s “Penthouse Forum” style hunting stories, I can’t quit you. Glad he’s found an outlet for those. Love the show! Bright spot of my week every damn week.
