We are about one week into President Donald Trump's new term. So, we've got Kevin Williamson from The Dispatch back on the show to go over what happened. Or, perhaps more accurately, what didn't happen. Williamson said Trump's first week was relatively light on gun action, especially compared to other issues. He said that may not tell us where Trump, who he described as transactional on most issues, on gun policy. But it did give insight into how his administration prioritizes gun rights initiatives. Williamson also gave an overview of his new series on the ATF. He described the agency's origins, overarching purpose, and ways it could be reformed or improved. He argued that the most substantive changes would require congressional action, but he said Trump could make improvements if he chooses the right director.

We have the topline election results, but we don't know everything for sure yet. Many House and some Senate races have yet to be called. Still, what we do have is enough to give us a pretty good idea of what will be possible for gun policy under the new Republican Federal trifecta led by Donald Trump. That's why we've brought back Cam Edwards of Bearing Arms to help dissect what's likely from what's possible. Cam said if the Republican Senate majority lands somewhere between 52 and 53, as it seems likely to, and they hold an equally slim House majority, there is little reason to think major gun bills are coming in the near future. Although, he also agreed the larger the Senate majority, the greater the odds Republicans nuke the filibuster and open up more legislative possibilities--even if he doesn't like the idea or think it's likely to happen. Instead, Cam said the biggest movement on gun policy is likely to come through executive branch action. He predicted Trump would follow through on promises to undo the rules President Joe Biden has enacted, such as the pistol-brace and "ghost gun" bans. Same for firing Biden's ATF Director. Cam was less certain about how far Trump might go with appointing a new director or pursuing his own pro-gun rules. He argued judicial appointments are likely to be the most impactful moves Trump will make when it comes to gun policy. He said Trump may end up appointing several more Supreme Court Justices, who will serve for decades. Then, Cam gives his view on Trump's wild card nature and whether that could actually lead to some new gun restrictions as well. Or whether he's given up on trying to make any kind of deal with Democrats after the past four years.

The election is just days away. In fact, it's the day after this episode is released to the public. The time to cover the daily developments on the campaign trail is over. Now, it's time to look ahead at what the realistic expectations on gun policy should be for a potential Trump or Harris administration. To do that, I've brought somebody from an outlet on nearly the opposite side of the spectrum from The Reload. Jennifer Mascia has been a reporter at The Trace, a non-profit publication with ties to Everytown for Gun Safety, since it was founded. She is well-sourced inside the gun-control movement and closely follows gun politics news. She joins the show to help suss out the most likely policies Trump or Harris would pursue and by what means. Mascia and I agreed legislation is the least likely area for change since Republicans are likely to gain a Senate majority regardless of who wins the presidency--but only a narrow majority. Instead, the real action will be in court appointments and executive actions. There, Harris may be more restrained by both a Republican Senate and the amount of gun action President Joe Biden has already undertaken. Trump is likely to continue judicial appointments in line with his first term while potentially firing the ATF Director Biden appointed and undoing his executive actions, though it's hard to say how far he'd expand beyond that.

Our Nightcap roundtable is in studio talking the state of the 2024 race with just 60 days until election day. Plus, what's next for gun safety reform after the deadly high school shooting in Georgia. And, everyone shares their MVPs of the week. Steve Liesman, Rev. Al Sharpton, Pablo Torre, and Maya Eaglin join The 11th Hour Nightcap this Friday night. 

Attorney General Ken Paxton's office announced Wednesday that it found the State Fair of Texas' new gun policy violates Texas law and threatened to sue the city of Dallas if the policy is not fixed in 15 days; also, the city of Dallas is going to pay what will likely be hundreds of thousands of dollars to a police officer that the department had accused of capital murder. Bryan Riser, a former patrol officer, was accused by his department of ordering the 2017 killings of Liza Saenz and Albert Douglas. But a bungled police investigation led to the charges being dismissed — and Riser's appeal to win back his job; in other news, longtime Dallas radio icon Norm Hitzges signed off in June of 2023, and in what may be an unsurprising development to those who listened to him over his 48-year career: He still hasn't stopped working.

Another week, another wild series of events in the 2024 presidential race. This time, the Democratic ticket was entirely upended, and Kamala Harris all but wrapped up her position at the top.  To discuss how this affects gun politics, we've got National Review's Charles Cooke back on the show for the first time in a while. Cooke said that Harris has been to the left of her predecessor, Joe Biden, on firearms restrictions. He noted she supported a more assertive approach to using executive power, and she backed a mandatory buyback of AR-15s. However, Cooke argued Harris probably wouldn't track further left on guns during the campaign. He said the incentive is to either stick with the already aggressive platform, centered on an "assault weapons" ban, or try to moderate. He said Harris is likely going to have to combat her image as a very liberal California politician if she wants to beat Donald Trump. He said he was less concerned about Trump backing away from gun policy in recent weeks. He argued Democrats are highlighting the issue to try and excite voters they're concerned won't show up to the polls whereas Republicans don't have to worry as much about that because they've already accomplished a lot of pro-gun priorities in recent years. Oh, and we talked a little bit about rollercoasters at the end for those interested lol. Special Guest: Charles Cooke.

Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I discuss the GOP's first new platform in 8 years dropping almost all of the party's gun policy promises and what that means for the future of gun voters. We also discuss newly released NRA documents revealing the true extent of the group's membership decline and the ongoing arguments surrounding its attempts to avoid punishment and further reform in the wake of the New York corruption verdict. Finally, we wrap up with a quick discussion of a new ruling striking down the gun ban for illegal immigrants, a gun rights challenge to New York's body armor ban, and the advent of ammunition vending machines in grocery stores.

Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I discuss the lack of discussion on gun policy during the first Presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. We also cover the ongoing fallout from the Supreme Court's Rahimi decision, including Justice Thomas' dissent and the DOJ's request for more clarity from the Court on gun rights for felons. Finally, we discuss the NRA's improved political fundraising numbers, its tone shift on gun rights for felons, the ATF's improved approval times for suppressors, and a Georgia jury's decision to find gunmaker SIG liable for negligent discharges.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports on NRA LaPierre Resignation-civil trial

AP correspondent Ed Donhaue on NRA LaPierre Resignation

Lawmakers elected to office next week will likely take up firearm legislation in the next General Assembly session. Democrats rate gun policy as the No. 2 top issue, behind abortion, according to a mid-October Christopher Newport University survey of likely voters. Independents rank gun policy as the fourth top issue of concern. Gun policy ranks lowest among Republicans, but comes in above health care and “other.” Several polls have indicated that control of the General Assembly is truly up for grabs, with voters pretty split on who they want in charge. Gun policy mostly hit a stalemate the past two...Article LinkSupport the show

It's not very easy to find online coverage of the gun industry that isn't hyper polarized. The issue is dominated by a mix of NRA members and gun control activists, and even the traditional media does little more than play referee between these two sides.   When Stephen Gutowski launched The Reload in 2021, his aim was to cut through this noise. Stephen had spent several years covering the issue for The Washington Free Beacon, and despite his background in conservative media, his work has been widely praised by both centrist and left-of-center journalists. In 2022, CNN hired him to serve as an on-air analyst around gun policy issues.   In my conversation with Stephen, we talked about why he struck off on his own, how he monetized his newsletter, and what role his cable news career plays in building his audience.

In the latest episode of TAG, we're joined by UCLA's Adam Winkler – one of the most cited law professors in judicial opinions today – to discuss what he deems “a revolution in American gun policy” since the Supreme Court's Bruen decision came down in June. The “Gun Fight'' author and Second Amendment expert breaks down the new Bruen constitutionality test and its consequences. He reveals how the “centerpieces of modern gun policy just don't have any history in the 17 and 1800s,” so they are “on thin ice.” He explains how gun rights organizations have been empowered to challenge every regulation, the possible path to the 5th Circuit decision on domestic abusers being overturned, and what he thinks the gun safety movement should prioritize when the courts are a “minefield.” And on the latest edition of Siegel's Scope, Dr. Siegel explores the lessons learned from public health's approach to tobacco and how they might be applied to gun violence.Host: Mathew LittmanGuest: Professor Adam WinklerProducer: Ernesto ChavezvaldiviaExecutive Producer: Adria MárquezEditor: Stephanie Genuardi Cunnane

President Joe Biden announced a set of new executive orders this week that could have wide-ranging effects. But what does his order actually do? Well, that's what we brought Amy Swearer on to explain. She's the conservative Heritage Foundation's gun policy expert who regularly testifies on Capitol Hill. She said three of the initiatives have the potential to have a severe impact on gun owners across America. The effort to broaden the requirement for those selling guns to obtain a federal license, the directive that federal agencies and the military try to add gun-control requirements to their gun acquisition contracts, and the request for the Federal Trade Commission to investigate gun company advertising could have the most significant effect. Swearer said those policies could make it much more difficult for private individuals and companies to sell guns. However, we don't yet know precisely how the administration will put President Biden's order into practice. And there are real hurdles to implementing them in the most aggressive possible approach. When it comes to changing the standard for who qualifies as being "engaged in the business" of dealing guns, the President will have to work within the legal definition set by Congress. The Department of Defense is unlikely to compromise the effectiveness of its weapons to push a backdoor gun-control regime. And the FTC doesn't have to listen to Biden's request at all.  Still, Swearer argued he might push the boundaries of what's possible on all three. But this order is undoubtedly less substantial than President Biden's previous executive actions on guns. His 'ghost gun" and pistol-brace bans affect millions of Americans, potentially subjecting them to federal felon charges if they don't give up or register their affected firearms and parts. Of course, those orders are also under intense legal scrutiny. The "ghost gun" rule has already been mostly blocked, and it's very likely the pistol-brace ban will soon face the same fate. But Swearer said gun owners should remain concerned about where this new order could end up. Plus, Contributing Writer Jake Fogleman and I discuss North Carolina's gun advocates' latest effort to repeal the state's pistol-purchase-permit law. Special Guest: Amy Swearer.

On this special episode, the guys interview physician and podcaster Dr. Mark Shapiro, host of the ‘Explore the Space' podcast and ‘Med Lasso'. The guys ask Mark about his “origin story” and how he got started in medicine and podcasting. He goes into detail on how he eventually went into Internal Medicine and became a hospitalist. Mark discusses how the name “Explore the Space” came from the Saturday Night Live “More Cowbell” sketch…and then the guys take a digression to review their favourite SNL sketches. Asif then asks Mark about how he has come around to using social media to connect with others and as an advocacy tool. Ali then asks Mark about gun control… and Mark quickly points out how that term is used by pro-gun advocates to sow discord. Mark then addresses the controversy several years ago when physicians were told to “stay in your lane” regarding gun violence in the US.    The guys then segue into a discussion about entertainment, with Mark starting off by talking about his love for Robin Williams. The guys then discuss the influence of Robin Williams on the character of Ted Lasso. Mark discusses his love for ‘Ted Lasso', how he decided to do the ‘Med Lasso' episodes of his podcast and why ‘Ted Lasso' resonates so much with the medical community. All three then preview the upcoming 3rd season of ‘Ted Lasso'.  The opinions expressed are those of the hosts, and do not reflect those of any other organizations.

Ryan McAnnally-Linz reflects on the May 24, 2022 school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
