Today we start off with a bang! Dr John Lott from the Crime Prevention Research Center joins us to talk about his latest article about the precipitous drop in violet crime across the country in spite of the dramatic increase in gun ownership. We'll also talk about his latest research on the so called "Glock switches". Then in hour two we'll hit some headlines and then jump into our weekend entertainment review with Willie Waffle.

Many elected officials insist that crime is falling in their districts – but ex-DOJ advisor John Lott Ph.D. says those claims are based on little lies and constructed with statistics that are carefully manufactured to show results favored by politicians – a “paper mirage.” While the FBI boasts of a 10% decrease in violence, the DOJ's own National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) recorded a record-shattering 44% increase in violent crime, which remains at historically elevated rates. • EPISODE SPONSORED BY ONESKIN – Get 15% off OneSkin with the code DREW at https://www.oneskin.co/DREW John Lott reveals the pitfalls of relying on crimes reported to the police—the majority of all crimes, including 70% of property crimes are never reported to law enforcement.

The Governor says you can keep your AR-15. She also says you can't carry it, transfer it, or, in some readings, even transport it. Grandfathering isn't freedom if the firearm becomes a museum piece in your own safe. Let's walk through and clarify what this law actually says, because the text and the press conference are two very different things.SPONSOR: American FinancingSummer expenses like vacations, gas, tuition, and camps are pushing families further into high-interest credit card debt.

Title:John Lott EXPOSES the Background Check FAILURE Nobody Wants You to See Podcast Description: Dr. John Lott joins Armed American Radio host Mark Walters for a hard-hitting deep dive into America's broken federal gun background check system, Second Amendment rights, ATF overreach, and the truth behind firearm statistics the mainstream media refuses to discuss. In this explosive conversation, John Lott breaks down shocking data showing millions of failed and false NICS background check denials, why innocent Americans are getting caught in the system, and how the DOJ and FBI allegedly hid critical information from the public for years. The discussion also exposes how Form 4473 errors, unconstitutional delays, and bureaucratic failures impact law-abiding gun owners across the country. The show also tackles: Federal gun background check failures FBI and DOJ transparency issues ATF enforcement and firearm regulations Thomas Massie's efforts to expose NICS errors Gun control myths vs real crime statistics Why criminals don't buy guns legally Firearm homicide data manipulation Brazil, Mexico, Venezuela, and U.S. gun violence comparisons The Second Amendment under attack Concealed carry rights and self-defense Gun ownership in America NRA, gun rights activism, and constitutional freedoms Plus, Mark Walters discusses the growing fight against anti-gun narratives, the media's obsession with gun control, and why millions of responsible American gun owners continue to defend liberty and freedom. If you care about the Constitution, gun rights, self-defense, concealed carry, firearms policy, ATF regulations, NICS background checks, and protecting the Second Amendment, this episode is a must-listen. #JohnLott #SecondAmendment #GunRights #NICS #ATF #GunControl #MarkWalters #ArmedAmericanRadio #2A #ConcealedCarry #Firearms #SelfDefense #NRA #DOJ #FBI #Form4473 #GunOwners #Freedom #Constitution #Podcast

John Lott joins for the hour to discuss the remarkable change at the ATF seemingly overnight moving from a rogue anti-rights group of thugs to an agency under new leadership protecting our right to bear arms? Could it be?

Tune in here to this Friday’s edition of the Brett Winterble Show! we’re joined by John Lott, who discusses rising political violence and how it is being interpreted across media and public discourse. He frames recent incidents, including threats against public figures, as part of a broader trend of escalating hostility over the past several years. Lott argues that media coverage often misclassifies or selectively reports politically motivated violence, pointing to examples where attackers’ stated ideologies don’t align with how they’re labeled. The conversation explores high-profile cases, manifestos, and competing narratives around extremism, with Brett pressing on whether the public is getting a complete picture. They also touch on the role of elite institutions and rhetoric in shaping attitudes, questioning whether increasingly heated language contributes to real-world consequences. The segment closes with concerns about deepening division and the challenges of addressing political violence in a highly polarized environment.

The conversation begins with reaction to comments criticizing the Court’s role, particularly around precedent and judicial authority. Brett and Pete examine the concept of stare decisis, debating when precedent should stand versus when it should be overturned, referencing major rulings and contrasting judicial philosophies like originalism and textualism. Later we’re joined by John Lott, who discusses rising political violence and how it is being interpreted across media and public discourse.

It features multiple adapters for precise bore alignment and a red or green laser for quick sighting. The kit includes batteries, a storage case, and an arbor for enhanced stability in larger calibers. Note Laser boresight – responses and did both. [FarrowTech] 22R Stock/Brace PDW Kit for Ruger MK3 and MK4 (Nick) This is a PDW style conversion kit for the Ruger MK3/4, available as a Stock or Brace configuration. All setups include 2 optional side Picatinny rails and a charging handle. Installation requires no permanent modifications to the host firearm. [AS Designs] ARHK (Nick) The ARHK is a fully self-contained drop-in cassette trigger unit built on ARC-Fire technology, designed specifically for HK roller-delayed platforms such as MP5, MP5K, AP53, G3, and HK21 clones. It installs directly into factory OEM polymer housings without modifications, features a pre-installed ejector, and offers a three-position selector: Safe, Semi (standard trigger pull), and Active Reset via ARC-Fire clutch. It maintains compatibility with all bolt carrier types, including full-auto. [Impact Kote] Custom Scope Wraps (Nick) Impact Kote offers custom scope wraps designed for precision rifle shooters. Specific technical details such as mechanical features, pricing, and availability are not detailed on the page. The content primarily consists of a general announcement without explicit product specifications. [Shomer-Tec] Escape Button™ The Escape Button™ is a covert escape and evasion tool disguised as a standard mil-spec 3/4 inch diameter plastic BDU button, featuring a pivoting 7/16 inch serrated 1095 steel blade that deploys via fingernail along the perimeter for cutting restraints like zip-ties, cord, rope, and tape. It attaches to clothing with low breaking-strength thread in accessible areas for use even with bound wrists. Manufactured in the USA with all USA components, it weighs 0.05 oz and is available in black, tan, and olive drab. BULLET POINTS Bus Built Systems PBP Gen 3 (Nick) The PBP Gen 3 from Bus Built Systems is a laser-cut 1/8-inch thick 304 stainless steel plate designed for mounting bags to an Arca rail, featuring an Arca clamp on one side and Arca rail on the other. It supports multiple bags from various manufacturers via perimeter slots and includes scallops for stability on props like cattle gates, plus fore and aft holes for optics or accessories. Powder coated in Bus Built Yellow, it weighs roughly a pound and a half without a bag. AR-15 Buffer Weights for Suppressed Tuning (H2 Buffer) The H2 buffer for AR-15 rifles weighs approximately 4.6 ounces and contains two tungsten weights, designed to slow down the bolt carrier group and reduce recoil in suppressed setups without needing an adjustable gas block. It is a popular choice for short-barreled rifles and suppressed AR-15s to manage increased backpressure from silencers. Heavier buffers like the H2 help fine-tune over-gassed systems by increasing mass. 1X Prism Optic A 1X prism optic uses a glass prism to focus both the target image and an etched reticle, which can be optionally illuminated without requiring batteries for basic use. It provides clarity and durability advantages over red dots, particularly for users with astigmatism, and supports complex reticles like ACSS with bullet drop compensation. Though not truly 1X, any magnification is negligible in practice. GUN FIGHTS No one stepped into the arena this week. THE AGENCY BRIEF WLS IS LIFESTYLE 9mm Speed-Loader for Glock, SIG, CZ, Springfield The 9mm Speed-Loader is a 3D printable tray that holds 10 rounds for quick reloading of compatible magazines from Glock, SIG, CZ, and Springfield.

Print profiles include options with or without text, using 0.2mm layers, 3 walls, and 15% infill. GOING BALLISTIC Alberta and Saskatchewan Reject Federal Gun Confiscation Program from Ottawa (Savage) Alberta and Saskatchewan have publicly opposed Ottawa's federal firearm confiscation program, which banned about 2,500 firearms with a voluntary declaration deadline of March 31. Alberta's Minister of Justice Mickey Amery affirmed non-participation, directing provincial entities including law enforcement to decline implementation under provincial sovereignty legislation. Saskatchewan passed legislation to hinder the program, prompting criticism from Federal Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree. John Lott on U.S. Military Bases Gun-Free Zones Policy (1992-1993) (Savage) John Lott argues that U.S. military bases should never have implemented gun-free zones, as these policies disarm trained personnel, leaving them vulnerable to attackers, evidenced by multiple mass shootings totaling 24 murdered and 38 wounded. The restrictions originated in 1992 under President George H.W. Bush and were enacted in 1993 by President Clinton to create a more ‘professional, business-like' environment. In contrast, troops carried weapons at all times in Iraq and Afghanistan without internal violence. Antonyuk v. James: New York Permanent Injunction on Social Media Gun Permit Requirement (Savage) In Antonyuk v. James, the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York issued a permanent injunction against New York's requirement for concealed carry applicants to disclose social media accounts from the past three years, as part of the Concealed Carry Improvement Act. The state consented to this injunction, removing the provision from the PPB-3 license application form. Litigation continues on other aspects of the Act, including restrictions on sensitive locations. Trump's FY2027 Budget Proposal (Civil Rights Division and ATF Funding for 2A Protection) (Savage) President Trump's FY2027 budget proposal includes targeted federal funding to defend Second Amendment rights, such as $1.4 million for a new office in the DOJ Civil Rights Division to protect against unlawful infringements and pursue enshrining those rights. It allocates $4.8 million to the Office of the Pardon Attorney's Firearm Rights Restoration Initiative for law-abiding citizens to regain rights post-justice obligations. The budget supports ATF in reversing prior regulations on background checks, pistol braces, homemade firearms, and FFL revocations, redirecting focus to illegal traffickers. Beckwith v. Frey: First Circuit Rules Gun Purchases Not Protected by Second Amendment (Savage) In Beckwith et al. v. Frey, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit reversed a district court's preliminary injunction against Maine's 2024 72-hour waiting period for gun purchases (Me. Stat. tit. 25, § 2016). The panel held that the Second Amendment's plain text protects keeping and bearing arms but not the act of purchasing or acquiring firearms. This creates a circuit split with other circuits recognizing a right to acquire arms. ATF Frames and Receivers Rule (Updating 2021R-05F) – Bondi v. VanDerStok (Savage) The ATF is preparing a new draft rule updating the 2021R-05F ‘Definition of ‘Frame or Receiver' and Identification of Firearms,' which expands the definition of ‘firearm' to include partially completed frames, receivers, and certain parts kits that are ‘readily' completable. This follows the 2022 rule upheld by the Supreme Court in Bondi v. VanDerStok (2025). The update eases restrictions on some metal unfinished kits while maintaining strict regulation on polymer frames. REVIEWS Review: Operative Agent J Freedom from Illinois Comiforina wants full gun control, and the latest suit against gatalog proves it's not about public safety. Ironic, that their top gun control tard was running guns, Yang I think his name was. And they literally had politicians hiring Chinese spys, and one threatening to nuke us. Operative Agent J Freedom Review: Griz from Texas Absolutely phenomenal podcast. It takes real talent to talk for this long and somehow say so little, but the hosts pull it off with impressive consistency. Every episode feels like a masterclass in wandering off-topic, repeating the same points, and stretching what could be five minutes of content into a full episode. The chemistry between the hosts is undeniable—mostly because they seem just as confused about where the conversation is going as the listeners are. The audio quality is great though, which really helps you clearly hear every awkward pause and questionable take. If you're looking for a podcast that will make you appreciate literally every other podcast out there, this one is a must-listen. Five squares for the unforgettable experience. Secret Notes Griz Review: JackB from Texas 5 squares.

Military allowing soldiers to be armed on base, finally, RI Dems put forth most egregious gun control bill of the 2026 legislative sessions…removing the grandfathering of lawful guns they’ve decided to ban…give em up of go to jail as a convicted felon for up to 10 years. Yeah. OK. Come and take it moment, folks.

The Senate confirmed Markwayne Mullin as the new Secretary for DHS. But why did he sail through the confirmation so smoothly? Trump has agreed to a plan to reopen the government as the Schumer Shutdown reaches day 38. But the devil is in the details and he originally said no to the two step plan suggested by Senators Kennedy and Cruz. What are the pros and cons of the deal? Who is the Billionaire who offered to pay for TSA salaries in the meantime?

In this episode, criminologist John Lott breaks down how crime statistics in the United States are being distorted — and why the public is being misled about the true state of public safety. Lott explains how major media outlets, the FBI, and local law enforcement agencies manipulate or underreport violent crime data, creating a false narrative that crime is declining even as communities experience rising violence. The conversation zeroes in on how crimes committed by illegal immigrants are frequently minimized or excluded from reporting, skewing national crime trends and masking the real impact of sanctuary city policies. Lott presents data showing elevated rates of violent crime among illegal aliens in places like New York, and explains how repeat offenders are often released back into the community despite serious criminal records. Lott also explores the demographic realities of violent crime — including how most crimes occur within similar racial and socioeconomic groups — and why ignoring these patterns leads to failed policy. He argues that political incentives, not public safety, now drive crime reporting and enforcement decisions.
