SHOT SHOW: Where those not at the show want to be, and those at the show want to go home. Not really, but it's funny. Laugh with me. This year at SHOT SHOW 2025, we noticed a different tone than the years prior. Instead of retrenchment and celebrating surviving another year, the industry displayed a refreshing sense of optimism and a willingness to venture into new things. While new products made small steps towards innovation and new frontiers, the attitude of the people at the show told a different story: optimism is back on the menu. In this episode we talk about new gear trends, the overall attitude of the industry, and a few noteworthy examples of making what we had just a little bit better.

The subject of Gun Control easily misses the mark on more than one occasion. Politically unpopular, economically damaging, and culturally disruptive, one should begin to wonder why it comes back into conversation time and time again. We might be quick to describe supporting gun control as merely virtue signaling, but if we really believed that, we would treat it like a dangerous idea that it is. Do we really want a conversation on gun control, or are we truly interested in preventing harm? If we look at the subject holistically, we see that short sighted solutions often lead to grave results, and no, there's no getting off the tyranny train once you've committed to disarming a population. In this episode we look at politics, economics, and philosophy to narrow down on what are the factors that might motivate a person to engage in self harm, or the harm of others. It's not the tool that makes the tragedy, but isolation.

The difference between what can be called the Gun Culture, the Industry, and those in support of the Second Amendment isn't a single overlapping circle of a Venn Diagram. Instead, we have disparate groups of Gun Culture, a market space of the Firearm Industry, and the broadest term of 2nd Amendment Supporters. Peter Ildefonsa brings all of this to the table in a grand conversation on the differences and similarities and overlaps between the three.Follow Peter Ildefonsa on Instagram at @peterildeonsaOr on YouTube at @peterildefonsa His website and work can be found at www.peterildefonsa.comThis episode has been sponsored by Obsidian Arms, a manufacturer of tools, parts and firearms, as well as operating as an OEM shop for those looking to bring excellence to the market.

Dem senators beg FTC to investigate Firearms Industry for "unfair," "deceptive," advertising

The debate over gun control in America often centers around firearms production and distribution.

House Oversight Committee Hearings attacking firearms industry Part 2

House Oversight Committee hearings attacking firearms industry Part 1

Anti-gun banks and woke corporations seeking to impose their own restrictions on companies within the firearms industry are now facing pushback from the industry itself in the form of the FIND Act; legislation that blocks companies that discriminate against the firearms industry from doing business with state governments. NSSF's Darren LaSorte sits down with Cam to explain how the bill works and where it could be soon enshrined into law.

In this week's episode of After Dark, I sat down with co-host JP and our good friend Bryant Pham. Bryant is well spoken, highly intelligent and talented. I first met Bryant at the range when he came out to test his brand new AR-15 and I was blown away by how his prior airsoft experience carried over into shooting firearms. Our conversation began with Bryant sharing how his parents escaped from Vietnam and the cultural impact that many first generation Americans experience being raised by immigrants. Bryant discusses the challenges that Asian men face in today's society and exemplifies how key factors and cultural differences shaped who he is today. The three of us discuss: high school sports, skateboarding, racism, equalizer hobbies & much more!
