Portland's Business Struggles and Las Vegas's SCHEDULE JBS 6-19-2026.1900 LAGrowth. Guest: Jeff Bliss. High taxes and progressive policies in Portland are driving a corporate exodus, including Under Armour, as business districts empty. Conversely, Las Vegas is thriving, highlighted by the opening of a massive four-story In-N-Out on the Strip. The segment also covers California's proposed wealth tax and calls to nationalize AI. 1Ethics Investigations into the Newsom Administration. Guest: Jeff Bliss. Governor Gavin Newsom and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, face investigations regarding millions in "behested payments" from entities like PG&E to her media company. While Newsom dismisses the probe as political weaponization, critics suggest these payments indicate potential undue influence and significant ethical scandals within the administration. 2Critique of Middle East Ceasefire Strategy. Guest: Richard Epstein. Epstein argues that recurring ceasefire declarations are merely strategic devices for rearmament rather than genuine steps toward peace. He criticizes current negotiation styles for alienating allies and failing to pursue the unconditional surrender of adversaries, which he believes is the only stable solution for regional security. 3Supreme Court Rulings on Gun Rights and Drug Use. Guest: Richard Epstein. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court ruled that marijuana use alone does not justify the categorical stripping of a citizen's Second Amendment rights. Epstein critiques the court's narrow reliance on originalism, suggesting a "police power" analysis should instead determine if a person poses an immediate physical threat. 4Economic Resilience in D.C. and Lancaster County. Guest: Jim McTague. A drop in gasoline prices has boosted consumer spending at retail stores and supermarkets. While D.C. remains popular with tourists, employers are struggling to find workers with specialized technical skills. Meanwhile, the housing market remains robust at the high end despite higher interest rates. 5Italian Defense Pressures and the Summer Heatwave. Guest: Lorenzo Fiori. Italy's government is balancing NATO's demands for increased military spending against rising energy costs. Simultaneously, a record-breaking heatwave reaching 104°F in Milan is straining public resources, prompting Fiori to recommend the cooler Garfagnana region for its fresh environment and traditional bean and cabbage soup. 6SpaceX's Aggressive Launch Schedule and Innovation. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. Gwynne Shotwell indicates that SpaceX's Starship may begin operational flights and orbital refueling tests by year's end. The company is also demolishing older facilities at Vandenberg for new launchpads, while private startups advance 3D-printed rockets and orbital satellite rescue missions to assist aging telescopes. 7Mars Discoveries and Cosmological Mysteries. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. The discovery of galaxies devoid of dark matter is challenging fundamental astronomical theories. On Mars, the Curiosity rover has reached smooth ground after five years of rocky terrain. Additionally, orbiters have detected multiple dust devils and potential frost and ice in the planet's equatorial regions during winter. 8Literary Giants of the New England Renaissance. Guest: Bruce Nichols. This segment explores the intense relationship between Hawthorne and Melville, who dedicated Moby Dick to Hawthorne. While Ralph Waldo Emersonoften criticized their dark worldviews, these authors, alongside Walt Whitman and Margaret Fuller, were instrumental in inventing a uniquely original and enduring American literary voice. 9Thoreau's Performative Solitude at Walden Pond. Guest: Bruce Nichols. Henry David Thoreau built his famous cabin on land owned by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Contrary to his image as a total hermit, Thoreau was quite social, often walking into town for fresh-cooked meals and laundry. He eventually spent years refining his journals into the masterpiece Walden. 10The Struggles and Triumphs of Louisa May Alcott. Guest: Bruce Nichols. Louisa May Alcott supported her family because her father, Bronson Alcott, failed to earn a consistent living. She served as a Civil War nurse, dealing with horrific casualties before contracting a severe illness she attributed to mercury poisoning. Her 1868 novel Little Womenfinally resolved the family's debts. 11The Literary Legacy and Final Days of the Alcotts. Guest: Bruce Nichols. Following the success of Little Women, Alcott resisted fan demands for her protagonist to marry Laurie, choosing an independent path. As the circle aged, both Emerson and Bronson Alcott suffered significant cognitive decline, with Louisa providing essential financial and personal support until her death in 1888. 12Diplomatic Strains and Escalation Risks in Ukraine. Guest: Anatol Lieven. European leaders are divided over initiating direct negotiations with Russia as the war remains stuck on the ground. While some advocate for offering Putina "golden bridge" to claim a symbolic victory, others argue for continued pressure, despite the constant risks of accidental or nuclear escalation. 13The Rise of Andy Burnham in UK Politics. Guest: Anatol Lieven. Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is emerging as a formidable potential successor to Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Though Burnham enjoys strong regional support, he faces daunting national issues, including the funding crisis in the NHS and Britain's inability to borrow like the United States. 14A Vision for Governance Reform in Canada. Guest: Conrad Black. Biographer Conrad Black and billionaire Stephen Jarislowsky have proposed recommendations to streamline Canadian governance by reducing duplicated bureaucracy. They argue that Canada's public service is top-heavy and that lowering corporate and personal taxes is essential for maintaining economic growth and competitiveness with the United States. 15CISA's Mission to Protect Critical Infrastructure. Guest: Francis Rose. Acting Director Nick Anderson explains CISA's role as a vital clearinghouse for cyber threat information across federal and private sectors. Since 85% of critical infrastructure is privately owned, CISA focuses on information exchange to prevent bad actors from moving laterally to disrupt water or power supplies. 16

Supreme Court Rulings on Gun Rights and Drug Use. Guest: Richard Epstein. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court ruled that marijuana use alone does not justify the categorical stripping of a citizen's Second Amendment rights. Epstein critiques the court's narrow reliance on originalism, suggesting a "police power" analysis should instead determine if a person poses an immediate physical threat. 4

Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I break down the US Supreme Court's first major Second Amendment decision of the year in US v. Hemani, where the justices unanimously upheld the gun rights of a regular marijuana user. We also discuss the Court's rejection of several additional gun cases and cover the latest litigation against Virginia's "assault firearm" ban.

During this week's Two-Way Tuesday, Mark Walters joins Ryan Wrecker and Kim St. Onge to discuss the arrest of NBA star James Harden in Texas over an alleged firearms violation. The conversation examines permitless carry laws, police discretion, and how even gun-friendly states can create legal pitfalls for lawful gun owners. Walters also reacts to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision not to hear a challenge to New York's restrictive gun laws, expressing frustration with the Court's handling of major Second Amendment cases. The discussion then turns to the FBI's foiling of an alleged drone attack and mass shooting plot, concerns about escalating political violence, and the increasingly hostile political climate surrounding President Donald Trump.

Joseph S. Harrington, CPU, an independent business researcher and writer specializing in property/casualty insurance, joins Deepak Puri, Founder of The Democracy Labs, to discuss the real costs of gun violence and who is most likely to use a gun for violence. Joseph explains that most gun deaths are suicides, and most shootings are intentional, which makes gun owners uninsurable. This leaves the victims of gun violence to shoulder the burden of a shooting. A focus on the gun sellers is a possible path to protect gun rights, better manage safety programs, and provide compensation to victims. Deepak and Joseph talk about Why traditional liability insurance is not a workable solution for gun violence How gun manufacturers and dealers are shielded from liability Costs of violence include medical care, rehabilitation, and societal costs  Creating financial incentives for the gun industry to engage in gun safety and monitoring #TheDemLabs #StateTreasurers #PoliticalActivism #Democracy #Accountability #GunRights #GunControl #GunViolence #GunPolicy #CampaignStrategy #PublicSafety #RIFLAct #Liability TheDemocracyLabs.org  

Shadow Politics with Senator Michael D. Brown and Co-host Liberty Jones Across the Divide: Trump, Iran, Immigration, and the Search for Common Ground A Conversation Meant to Make America Think Again In this episode of Shadow Politics, host Former Senator Michael D. Brown opens the program with the show's mission: to make America think again by listening to all sides before forming opinions. He introduces guest William Shelton, an arborist, small business owner in the DMV area, native Washingtonian raised in Fairfax, Virginia, political science graduate of Old Dominion University, libertarian, Christian, father, gun owner, and self-described patriot. The episode centers on why Shelton voted for Donald Trump in 2024 and how his views reflect a broader segment of American political opinion. Why William Shelton Voted for Donald Trump Michael begins by asking Shelton what leadership characteristics matter most to him and how Trump meets them. Shelton says voters often do not get to choose ideal candidates; instead, candidates are packaged and presented, leaving people to choose between the available options. He says he did not find Trump's first presidency offensive enough to prevent him from voting for Trump again in 2024. Shelton points to Trump's presence, his ability to speak to his base, his appeal to a certain understanding of America, and his support for lower taxes and reduced regulation as reasons Trump appealed to him as a small business owner. Iran, War, and the Question of Intervention Michael then asks about the war with Iran, arguing that Iran did not have nuclear weapons, that the United States spent heavily, and that the Strait of Hormuz was already open before the conflict began. Shelton responds by connecting the issue to broader Republican and libertarian debates about war, referencing Ron Paul and the Tea Party's antiwar instincts. He says that if the public claims about Iran's uranium enrichment, ballistic missile capability, and regional influence through groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah were accurate, then military action could be justified if it reduced a future threat with limited loss of life. Michael challenges that view, comparing the situation to the Bay of Pigs and arguing that the intervention may have backfired. Liberty Jones Joins the Debate Co-host Liberty Jones joins after technical issues and presses Shelton on the logic of intervention. She asks how this action would achieve its stated goals, how weapons could be kept from extremists if civilians were armed, and why critics should be dismissed as politically motivated rather than answered on the merits. Shelton answers by returning to the example of appeasement and by arguing that Iran's leadership cannot be trusted. Liberty pushes back by questioning whether immigration, instability, and religious conflict are being oversimplified, especially when broader social, economic, colonial, and policy histories are involved. Religion, Immigration, and Western Identity The conversation broadens into religion, immigration, and national identity. Shelton argues that Muslim-majority nations such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Dubai should take in more Muslim refugees, asking why many migrants instead go to Western countries. Michael counters that religious nationalism is dangerous whether it comes from Islamic governments or Christian fundamentalists in the United States. Liberty adds that immigration problems cannot be reduced only to religion and must also be understood through policy, education, crime enforcement, opportunity, and historical power dynamics. Trump, Race, and Immigration Claims Michael raises questions about Donald Trump and race, saying Trump has a documented history involving racial discrimination in housing. Shelton pushes back by pointing to Trump's support among some Black, Latino, and immigrant voters. Michael responds that most Black voters did not support Trump and that some immigrant families may oppose later immigration after becoming established themselves. Liberty asks directly whether Shelton accepts inflammatory claims made about Latino immigrants. Shelton avoids endorsing the broad claim and instead says desperate individuals may act in desperate ways, while Michael and Liberty press the point that political rhetoric can turn entire groups into targets. Crime, Protest, and Conflicting Narratives The discussion then turns to crime, protests, ICE, and public safety. Shelton argues that many people support Trump because they see Democrats as projecting chaos through protests, immigration fights, and constant social conflict. Michael responds that some violence attributed to protesters is misrepresented and argues that ICE and federal enforcement can also create violence. He cites crime statistics to argue that Republican-led or gun-friendly states often have higher violent-crime rates than cities or states frequently criticized by conservatives. Shelton counters by pointing to visible disorder, population flight, and concerns about Democratic governance in places such as California and Portland. Corruption, Trump, Biden, and Political Retaliation Michael raises concerns about corruption under Trump, including claims that Trump has profited from the presidency through coins, memberships, Bibles, and other products. Shelton responds by raising allegations about Biden family influence and Ukraine. The conversation becomes sharper as Michael argues that Trump's opponents are being targeted because they challenged him, while Shelton argues that figures such as Adam Schiff, James Comey, John Brennan, and others should face consequences for their conduct. The exchange reflects a larger divide between those who view Trump as corrupt and retaliatory and those who see institutions as having unfairly targeted him. A Caller Defends Trump and Legal Immigration A caller named Steve, who identifies as Hispanic and a Trump voter, joins the conversation to wish Trump a happy birthday and say he voted for Trump because Trump puts Americans first. Steve emphasizes the importance of legal immigration and argues that people should come into the country through the proper process. Michael agrees that legal immigration is legitimate but notes that America's immigration history has always included many people entering through irregular or imperfect systems. Liberty adds that some people who entered legally have still been deported or caught in enforcement actions. Mass Shootings, Transgender Claims, and the Second Amendment The conversation moves into gun rights, mass shootings, transgender claims, and public fear. Steve claims recent shootings involved transgender people, while Michael and Liberty challenge the accuracy of that statement. Shelton says that confusion around gender politics, DEI, and sexual identity has pushed some people toward Trump because they want less cultural chaos. Michael responds that violence against LGBTQ people has historically been far greater than violence from LGBTQ people, and he identifies himself as the father of an openly gay daughter. The discussion closes this theme with Michael arguing that love, not an AR-15, is what America most needs. William Shelton's Final View of America Liberty ends with a broad question about how Americans can find common ground and build a country where people are free, safe, and happy. Shelton answers that America must stop dividing itself into smaller identity groups and refocus on a shared idea of the American promise: the chance to work hard, raise a family, mind one's own business, worship freely, and pursue the American dream. He argues that children must be protected from the internet, exploitation, and what he sees as harmful social influences, including some public-school systems. Michael thanks Shelton for representing a sentiment held by many Americans, while also continuing to challenge his conclusions. Ending With Love Instead of Division The episode ends with Michael thanking Shelton, Liberty Jones, and the caller Steve. He frames the conversation as the kind of difficult exchange America needs, even when participants sharply disagree. For the closing song, Michael chooses “All You Need Is Love” by The Beatles, directing its message toward Shelton and the audience. The final tone is one of disagreement without complete disconnection: a recognition that America remains divided, but that dialogue, representation, and love still matter.

Second Amendment, Gun Rights, Virginia Gun Ban, Assault Weapons Ban with Ryan Petty, Brad Premo and Justin Moon

Episode 4138 │ June 2026 Gun rights are expanding. Free speech is contracting. Both are moving at the same time — and that's not a coincidence. This episode maps an 18-year legal through-line in Second Amendment jurisprudence — from District of Columbia v. Heller (2008) through the pending Wolford v. Lopez decision — showing how gun rights have been methodically restored case by case. Scott then juxtaposes that restoration against the simultaneous erosion of First Amendment protections: government-by-proxy censorship exposed in Murthy v. Missouri, antisemitism laws that courts are already finding unconstitutional as viewpoint discrimination, and AI surveillance infrastructure being built faster than judicial doctrine can address it. Drawing on unconventional warfare doctrine, Scott introduces the Managed Polarization Operation — a strategy in which the conflict itself is the mechanism of control, not the outcome — and walks three historical precedents: Weimar Germany, the Troubles in Northern Ireland, and COINTELPRO. The episode maps the current moment onto four operational phases and names the mechanism that makes it work: asymmetric enforcement. It closes with the most important strategic question of this moment — what does principled, effective resistance look like that avoids both the radicalization trap and the paralysis trap? What is the legal through-line from Heller to Wolford and why does it matter now? Why are gun rights expanding while free speech rights are being restricted at the same time? What is a Managed Polarization Operation and has it been used before? How does asymmetric enforcement channel armed populations toward conflict? What does principled resistance look like that doesn't walk into either trap? BardsFM is a daily independent podcast covering faith, liberty, history, and information warfare.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Wednesday Listener Q&A episode of The Wright Report, Bryan tackles listener questions on the war with Iran, arguing that President Trump and Vice President Vance may be underestimating the IRGC and clerical regime's willingness to endure economic pain, reject peace, and sacrifice their own people for an Islamist cause. He also answers questions on China's role in Iran and Ukraine, warning that President Xi cannot be trusted to stop sending weapons or military support while Beijing works to weaken the United States without firing a direct shot. Bryan then lays out what he would tell President Trump privately, why he rejects more Chinese students and farmland purchases in America, and what he sees as the best national security strategy: pivot away from Europe and the Middle East, focus on the Americas, counter China in the Pacific, and protect U.S. interests in Africa. Plus, Bryan covers frustrations over Deep State accountability, the SAVE Act and filibuster, Chinese influence in California politics, and why America's refinery system is mismatched with the oil it produces. He also responds to questions on Colorado's magazine limits, Flock surveillance cameras, and his own political journey from old-school Democrat roots to today's conservative outlook, reflecting on how faith, community, purpose, and meaning may offer a path back from national chaos.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Iran war peace deal IRGC Trump Vance analysis 2026, China weapons to Iran Ukraine Russia drones Xi Jinping, Trump China students farmland Hannity response, US national security strategy Americas Pacific Africa Middle East, Deep State accountability Russia hoax James Comey DOJ FBI, SAVE Act filibuster Lankford Thune voter ID, Chinese influence California Connie Chan Fiona Ma Pelosi, US oil refineries light sweet crude heavy sour oil, Colorado magazine ban Second Amendment lawsuit, Flock cameras privacy surveillance debate, Bryan Dean Wright political journey Democrat to conservative, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report

President Trump has taken a lot of criticism lately for going back on his "no new wars" foreign policy promises, but it's been a while since we checked in on one of the issues that has historically been most important to Republican voters: the Second Amendment. Matt Kibbe sits down with Dudley Brown, president of the National Association for Gun Rights, to see what the second Trump administration is doing for American gun owners and whether those who care about their rights should be concerned about the president's rhetoric on this issue.

Send Wilk a text with your feedback! (incoming msgs only - I can't reply) What happens when a gun violence prevention researcher walks into a gun shop, sits down with the owner, and actually listens? For Dr. Michael Siegel, it changed everything.In this episode, Wilk sits down with Dr. Mike Siegel to talk about his Bridging the Divide on Firearm Policy project — a three-year effort that brought together 23 gun owners and non-gun owners from across the country to find real common ground on gun policy. The result isn't a watered-down compromise. It's a 67-page bipartisan policy framework that both gun rights advocates and gun violence prevention leaders helped write.They dig into what it actually takes to bridge a divide this charged: the role of respect, the power of listening, and the surprising policy agreements that emerged when people stopped talking past each other and started talking to each other.If you care about reducing gun violence — or protecting constitutional rights — or both — this one's worth your time.Learn more about the Bridging the Divide on Firearm Policy and connect with Dr. Michael Siegel by getting the full show notes for this episode at www.DerateTheHate.com. The world is a better place if we are better people.

The segment opens with critical commentary on political rhetoric involving calls for “revolution,” contrasted with warnings about violent language and extremist symbolism in modern politics. The discussion then shifts to an interview with Luis Valdes of Gun Owners of America, who frames the Second Amendment as essential to preventing authoritarian control and compares disarmament efforts to historical regimes in Cuba, Nazi Germany, and communist states. Valdez describes his family's personal experience with Cuba's communist government, including political repression and forced separation, using it as a foundation for his argument that armed citizens are necessary to preserve liberty. The conversation broadens into a philosophical defense of the Second Amendment as interconnected with First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendment rights, warning that erosion of one constitutional protection enables broader government overreach. The segment closes with promotion of an upcoming Gun Owners of America leadership summit in Iowa focused on advocacy and constitutional rights.

Hour 3 opens in Studio C with production updates and platform housekeeping, then quickly pivots into political and cultural firestorms, starting with previewed guests including U.S. Sen. Eric Schmidt and discussion of his recent golf outing with Bryson DeChambeau, alongside broader political analysis of Iran tensions, Middle East strategy debates, and commentary tied to figures like John Fetterman and competing tax policies between Missouri and Illinois, including detailed breakdowns of fuel tax burdens. The hour shifts into a high-energy interview with Todd Piro, who joins while battling a chest cold and reacts to national crime incidents, judicial leniency concerns, and political friction surrounding Trump-related controversies, reflecting broader frustration with the justice system and political polarization. Next, Luis Valdes of Gun Owners of America delivers a strong Second Amendment defense, arguing against disarmament, comparing global authoritarian regimes, and emphasizing constitutional rights across the First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments while promoting upcoming advocacy events in Iowa. The hour closes with “Kim on a Whim,” focused on new guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics urging restored daily recess in schools, sparking a broader discussion on student discipline, classroom behavior, and whether removing recess is harming child development more than it helps academic performance.

GOING BALLISTIC DOJ Cease-and-Desist to City of Denver on AR-15 Ban The National Association for Gun Rights reports that AAG Dhillon issued a cease-and-desist letter to the City of Denver. The letter demands the removal of their AR-15 ban. Failure to comply will result in action by the DOJ. Hysteria Continues Unabated Following ATF's Announcement (Savage) The article discusses the ATF's rollback of gun regulations under the Trump administration's Justice Department, led by confirmed ATF head Robert Cekada, following an assassination attempt on President Trump. Gun control advocates like John Feinblatt of Everytown for Gun Safety criticize it as gutting ‘commonsense gun safety laws.' The author argues the hysteria is unwarranted, as the weapons used were legal nationwide and prior rules failed to prevent attacks. NAGR: Minnesota Dems Pushing Gun Ban via Omnibus Bill SF 4067 (Savage) The National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR) warns that Minnesota Democrats are advancing SF 4067, an omnibus firearms bill, through the state Senate and House. The bill proposes bans on certain semiautomatic rifles, magazines over 17 rounds, privately manufactured firearms, binary triggers, and expands red flag gun confiscation laws. NAGR urges Minnesotans to contact legislators to oppose the measure amid a tied House vote. New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen: Impact on Baltimore, MD Homicides at 50-Year Low (Savage) Following the Supreme Court's Bruen decision, Maryland shifted from ‘may-issue' to ‘shall-issue' concealed carry permits, increasing from under 50,000 in 2020 to over 200,000 by April 2025. Baltimore City has seen homicides drop to a 50-year low, with only 33 homicides and 89 non-fatal shootings as of May 1, 2025, down 10.8% and 11.9% from the prior year. April 2025 recorded just four homicides, the fewest monthly since at least 1970. ATF Reforms on Pistol Braces (NPRM 1140-AA98) (Savage) The article discusses ATF reforms under the Trump administration that remove regulatory language from the vacated Biden-era pistol brace rule (NPRM 1140-AA98), affecting enforcement of the National Firearms Act (NFA) and Gun Control Act (GCA) on braced pistols classified as short-barreled rifles. While presented as a positive step, the changes do not limit ATF's statutory interpretation authority, allowing continued enforcement risks for gun owners. The author views it as meaningful progress but potentially ‘smoke and mirrors' without further congressional action.0 Navy v. Patrick Tate Adamiak: NRA Files Amicus Brief Urging U.S. Supreme Court Review (Savage) The NRA, along with other gun rights organizations, filed an amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to hear Navy v. Patrick Tate Adamiak, involving a Navy veteran's 20-year sentence for National Firearms Act violations over nonfunctional firearm relics. The case challenges the treatment of inert, destroyed items as regulated ‘firearms' under an expansive NFA interpretation, bypassing Second Amendment protections. The brief argues lower courts distorted precedent by avoiding Bruen's historical analysis test. DOJ/ATF 34 Final and Proposed Firearms Rules (April 29, 2026) (Savage) On April 29, 2026, the Department of Justice and ATF announced 34 notices of final and proposed rulemaking, the largest overhaul of federal firearms regulations in agency history, following Executive Order 14206 Protecting Second Amendment Rights. The package includes 8 finalized rules (e.g., rescinding bump stock machine gun definitions per Garland v. Cargill) and 26 proposed rules aimed at reducing burdens on FFLs and gun owners, modernizing forms like 4473, streamlining NFA processes, and aligning with court precedents. Rules cover repeals of Biden-era pistol brace and ‘engaged in the business' expansions, electronic recordkeeping, and interstate transport protections. Trump Pardon Call for Patrick ‘Tate' Adamiak (Fourth Circuit Federal Case) Patrick ‘Tate' Adamiak, a U.S. Navy sailor, was convicted on federal machinegun and unregistered destructive-device charges and sentenced to 20 years in prison despite no prior record or victims; the Fourth Circuit remanded on double-jeopardy grounds. The article urges gun owners to petition President Trump for a full pardon, framing it as a stand against ATF overreach and federal weaponization against Second Amendment activities. Items involved remain legally sold online, highlighting perceived injustice. REVIEWS Review: Anonymous Coward from Iowa Five Review: Anonymous Coward from Nebraska Review form coward. 5 something. Like the early gun fights can put guesses in. Since I get up at 5.47 am like to be in bed by 10. Also hasn't Aaron been fired yet to come back. Can listen to the rest next day in the truck. Enjoy the banter and I don't read much news so keeps me informed on 2a stuff. Review: Chris W Five Stars. The year is 2035. Civil unrest, political turmoil, and record high inflation has crippled America. Its citizens are divided, almost tribal. Most have lost hope of returning America to a bastion of freedom. but there are some that fight to keep the American dream alive. The agents of 171 used to be a gang of online gun nerds bonded by the love of the second amendment; now they are an underground collective of the countries most deadly assassins and fighters trying to bring America back to her former glory. Shawn: the leader of the agency,...

Mark Walters breaks down a major shift at the ATF following the appointment of new director Robert Cicada, arguing the agency is undergoing a rapid reset in priorities away from targeting law-abiding gun owners and toward focusing on violent criminals, cartels, and firearms trafficking. He highlights a sweeping package of regulatory changes aimed at reducing enforcement “gotchas,” easing restrictions on interstate firearm transport, and rolling back policies that previously led to revocations of long-standing gun dealer licenses over minor paperwork issues. Walters credits leadership claims that past administrations weaponized ATF regulations against citizens, while noting staffing cuts and structural reforms intended to limit bureaucratic overreach. While calling the shift the most pro–Second Amendment posture in ATF history, he stresses cautious optimism, warning that entrenched bureaucracy still exists and accountability remains necessary. The discussion also touches on constitutional carry expansion across states and a broader belief that enforcement priorities are being fundamentally realigned toward criminals rather than compliant gun owners.
