WLS is Lifestyle
- Mel Gibson’s effort to restore his gun rights after a 2011 misdemeanor domestic violence conviction has sparked significant debate within the gun community and political arenas, particularly under the Trump administration. Critics see this as potential political favoritism, while advocates argue it highlights broader issues regarding the restoration of rights for non-violent offenders. The case raises questions about the fairness and constitutionality of current firearm restrictions for individuals with past convictions and could set a precedent for similar cases in the future.

- The ATF is under scrutiny for allegedly ignoring a court order regarding the return of forced reset triggers (FRTs), leading to a delay for gun owners seeking their property back. This situation exacerbates tensions between the gun community and the regulatory agency, fueling concerns over the government’s commitment to Second Amendment rights.
- A Puerto Rico lawsuit against SIG Sauer has been dismissed, which may bolster SIG’s standing in the gun industry. This outcome reflects the ongoing legal battles surrounding firearm manufacturers and may discourage similar lawsuits targeting gun companies, reinforcing the resolve of the gun community against what they view as frivolous legal challenges from gun control advocates.
- Washington State has enacted a ban on the SIG P320, citing concerns over its safety. This decision is likely to create friction within the gun community, with advocates arguing that such restrictions infringe on Second Amendment rights and set a precedent for further government overreach in firearm regulations.
- The GOA has filed a lawsuit to challenge a gag order imposed by the ATF, arguing that it restricts transparency and accountability. This move is expected to invigorate the gun community’s push for fewer regulations and greater transparency from federal agencies involved in gun control.
- A business owner shot an alleged robber, resulting in the robber’s hospitalization. This incident illustrates the ongoing debate about self-defense rights and gun ownership, reinforcing the perspective that firearms can be vital for personal protection, much to the chagrin of gun control advocates who prefer to disarm law-abiding citizens.
- Colorado has enacted new anti-Second Amendment legislation, imposing stricter regulations on firearms that are likely to frustrate gun owners and enthusiasts. This move is expected to escalate tensions within the gun community, as advocates rally against what they perceive as unwarranted infringements on their rights.
Reviews
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Lil Wang – I have shit on Aaron a few times, but credit where credit is due. His joke about Shawn’s broken furnace in WLS 595 was top tier!
Shawn “It won’t even turn on. It’s 20 years old.”
Aaron “It’s like your wife. She won’t turn on and she’s 20.”
I take back most bad things I have said about Aaron. I will continue listening to the show just to catch moments like this. Keep up the great work!
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from Shawn’s Moobs – The only place a Jew a fag a cunt and a homosexual can make my work day bearable. Been listening since 2019 WLS is life
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – from TouchMyBiiscuit – We Like Shooting is, in fact, the best shooting podcast there is. It is where new shooters can get their feet wet and where seasoned shooters can learn something new every week. There is a dozen podcasts to tickle any other tisms you have on specific aspects of shooting, but We Like Shooting should be at the top of your listening roster every week. The cast are both great, and at times, completely insufferable. It is exactly like hanging out with your friends. Every friend group has a Shawn, Jeremy, Aaron, Nick, and even a Savage. I know my own friend group does, for sure. Shawn always has something to say, respectably, trying to be a jack of all trades — humble in admitting he doesn’t know everything, but is always trying something new, be it hunting, competition shooting, or perfecting the perfect home or personal defense gear set. In short, Shawn is my favorite gear queer.
Nick is wise beyond his years, possesses a great deal of knowledge in many of the aspects of shooting Shawn has yet to delve into, be in 3D printing a “”we have a DBAL at home”” or putting together the most entertaining, fun to shoot, absurd, yet useful firearms we have ever seen. He is a silent leader, back seat driving this podcast to greatness.
Jeremy isn’t really a cunt. Jeremy is quite coarse or even crass, at times, however, the cuntiness comes from his depth of knowledge in what is practical and sane in the world of firearms. Jeremy is not one you contact for opinions on firearms that are unusual, novel, or fun for the sake of fun. Jeremy’s opinion seems to be that every gun must serve some hypothetical purpose, else it ought not exist.
Aaron could stop being a pieces of shit, and get his shit together, yet chooses to get fired from every job he has for making remarks he blames on the acronym NAGR, however, we all know this isn’t the whole story. While every friend group needs a contrarian or devil’s advocate, we don’t enjoy that being a friend’s entire modus operandi being simply that. Aside from a punching bag and contrarian, I don’t always hate Aaron, just most of the time. He does provide some practical insight that us poors can relate to, and can spark worthwhile debate, at times. Aaron is, more or less, the Homer Simpson of the gang. He thinks he is the main character. He is the lovable idiot we truly love, and the show would not be the same without him.
Savage used to bring some variety to the show, as guns, preparedness, training, etc, do tend to go along with political conspiracy and cryptocurrency. He did, actually understand the legal aspect of the court cases as they pertain to our rights better than the rest. For that reason, I might be alone in saying I miss him sometimes. If for nothing other than his two talents — reading the news with some level of preparedness and possibly expertly defuse a Shawn Aaron squabble before it turned into another one of THOSE episodes.
Overall, my favorite gun podcast, you guys are great, would 100% hang out and drink beer any or all with all of you, except maybe Aaron or Savage.
