Last week, we talked about the political implications of the National Firearms Act (NFA) tax cuts in the budget bill. This week, we're talking about the market implications. To do that, we've got the co-founders of Open Source Defense back on the show. In addition to running a smart publication on gun culture and politics, Kareem Shaya and Chuck Rossi also run a firearms business investment firm. They said the tax cut is likely to juice demand for silencers (more accurately known as suppressors), short-barrel rifles and shotguns, as well as guns in the "any other weapon" (AOW) category. They looked at the recent surge in silencer demand related to last year's precipitous drop in registration processing times as a potential guidepost for how much demand may spike. Kaream noted suppressor sales were up 80 percent year-over-year between 20023 and 2024. He said demand could see a similar jump once the cut hits, although the six-month delay before that happens might depress the market in the meantime. Meanwhile, Chuck argued that new demand would likely open up innovation in the space. He said he expects new companies will come in to try and produce mass market suppressors or even disposable ones. He said we could see renewed interest in short-barrel rifles and the long-neglected AOW category that leads to new breakout products.
The answer is yes, because Jesus is the Prince of Peace and silence is peace and quiet. In This Episode Erin and Weer'd discuss a professor in Maine who seems to hate Christians as much as she hates the right to keep and bear arms; David explains the NFA portions of the Big Beautiful Bill; and Tiny gives us ways to prep a vehicle for any emergency.

Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I break down a new lawsuit filed by gun rights advocates in the aftermath of the One Big Beautiful Bill that argues NFA restrictions are no longer lawful without its $200 tax. We also talk about Canada's ongoing difficulties in carrying out its now 5-year-old plan to confiscate semi-automatic firearms, as well as Colorado lawsuit that pits mass shooting survivors against a Second Amendment Sanctuary county.
The first major piece of legislation for the new Trump Administration has passed, and it's been dubbed "The Big Beautiful Bill" by many. For me, I think it's more cheeky to simply refer to it as the "T Triple B" for reasons only a few of you will understand (but shouldn't). In this bill, which numbers somewhere between 1,000 and 1,1000 pages approximately, are a number of very impactful changes to the country. Chief among those is the removal of the unconstitutional two hundred dollar tax attached to NFA items like suppressors and short-barrel rifles, as well as hefty budgets allotted to border security efforts. There's a lot to unpack, and as always I have a lot to say about several pieces of this and how I see it impacting normal American's, as well as the downstream impacts that they could trigger. While I usually try to stay away from the politics in our weekly episodes, I think this one is justified.

Mark talks with Stephen Gutowski, founder of the Reload who provides a deep dive into the latest 2A news and the efforts of the DOJ in a couple of 2A cases including the recent 5th and 4th circuit rulings on 18020 year-olds and gun purchases. The NFA and procedural Senate rules are explained and expanded upon.
With the taxes on many NFA items zeroed out starting on January 1, 2A groups are launching new legal assaults on the National Firearms Act itself. FPC Action Foundation head Cody J. Wisniewski joins Cam to talk about the latest legal battles, as well as the continued objections to the proposed merger between ATF and DEA.
B.R is joined by Phil the Camera Guy and Georgie of Ruinbane Hobby and The Art and War Discord to discuss his first competition shooting experience. The lads get into 'popping the cherry' and getting a competition under your belt, messing up, the 'gamified' elements of competition shooting, stacking 'procedurals', and making friends at shooting competitions. The lads also get into Mike Lee's failed attempt at liquidating Public Lands in the 'Big Beautiful Bill' as well as the last minute removal of the Hearing Protection and SHORT Act from the bill that would have removed SBR's and Suppressors from the NFA for good. Also, B.R recounts his recent experience snooping around a Military Industrial Complex Expo and his observations about the kind of people that work them.

This week, we saw a National Firearms Act tax cut make it across the finish line and into law. Silencers, short-barrel rifles and shotguns, as well as firearms in the "any other weapons" category will now see a $0 tax in place of the previous $200 one. But not everyone in the gun world is happy about that. So, we have Cam Edwards of Bearing Arms back on the show to work through what the text does, why it ended up the way it did, and whether gun owners should consider it a win. Cam noted the final text is not everything gun-rights activists had pushed for since the Senate Parliamentarian ruled full delisting was against the rules of budget reconciliation. He said he disagreed with the ruling and could understand why some gun-rights activists unsuccessfully pushed to fire or overrule her. However, he also said it was important to understand the politics of the situation in order not to be caught off guard by either one of those reasonably predictable outcomes. Despite arguments to the contrary, Cam said the law should still be viewed as a win for gun owners. Perhaps an imperfect one, but one of the more significant at the federal level in a generation. Special Guest: Cam Edwards.

On todays Poorly recorded episode James Glenn and Dwayne talks about the Senate's Vote-a-Rama process, where over 200 amendments will be voted on line by line. A compromise was reached to remove suppressors, short-barreled rifles, pistol braces, and short-barreled shotguns from the NFA registry without the tax. The parliamentarian's role in enforcing Senate rules was highlighted. The conversation also touched on Ayatollah Khamenei's fatwa against Trump, the New York mayoral election, and the Supreme Court's decision on nationwide injunctions. Additionally, the pardon of General Flynn and Texas's age verification law for pornography were discussed, with concerns about government overreach and the impact on civil liberties. The discussion centered on U.S. citizenship laws, particularly the impact on diplomats and individuals on visas. They debated the historical context of the 14th Amendment and its application to modern immigration. Trump's recent actions, including raising NATO's commitment to 5% GDP and pressuring Canada over digital service taxes, were highlighted. They also discussed welfare reform, advocating for incentives rather than penalties for work, and criticizing the current system of covering pre-existing conditions in health insurance. The conversation concluded with plans for a significant celebration on the Fourth of July next year, marking one year since Trump's announcement. Don't Miss It!
Talk Back to MeThe first six months of 2025 have displayed a roller coaster of events, many of which presented as catastrophes, or great victories depending on political affiliation. At the same time, the Gun Culture has witnessed the end of an era, where names that once led companies and held the attention of millions slip away in disgrace. Not all kingdoms are built to last. Whether it's Military action in Iran, or Riots in LA, or Parliamentarians getting in the way of a long awaited curbing of the NFA, it's easy to look at what we're up against and throw up one's hands in lament. But that is not the path. Did we expect it to be so easy as an election? Did we expect that, with every step forward we would face less and less opposition? This isn't a problem that can be solved in the mind alone. Having the right answers is just the first step, one that must be followed with Courage.

Today Mark and Paul Markel, Student of the Gun discuss the recent move by the US Senate parliamentarian to remove the suppressor and SHORT act from the Trump reconciliation bill. What process does that leave for the US Senate and House to move the bill forward with both measures intact to stop the NFA of these unconstitutional infringements on our right to bear arms. Also, the ATF was in the crosshairs again today as DOGE has been instructed to remove up to 50 unconstitutional regulations that hinder American's right to keep and bear arms. 2a, second amendment, tax stamp, NFA, National firearms act, gun control, gun rights, NRA, ATF, attorneys on retainer, gun control, US senate, One big beautiful bill, Trump, reconciliations bill,

As Second Amendment policy returns to the national spotlight under a second Trump administration, one provision buried in a massive reconciliation bill could spell the beginning of the end for suppressor regulations under the National Firearms Act. The House version removes them from the tax scheme entirely, while the Senate version goes even further—potentially gutting the $200 tax on other NFA-regulated items. Joining us is Knox Williams, president and executive director of the American Suppressor Association, to unpack what's in the bill, what could derail it, and how his organization is fighting to end suppressor bans and taxes across the country. Also discussed: the Biden-era legacy of regulatory overreach, Trump's executive order to review federal actions against 2A rights, and what gun control nonprofits like Giffords are doing to push back.

This week, we're taking a close look at the federal gun free school zones law with National Review's Charles Cooke. A federal appeals court just upheld the zones against a Second Amendment challenge for what may be the first time in the post-Bruen era. Cooke argued the law is bad policy, but he agreed it doesn't violate the Second Amendment. Instead, Cooke argued it's actually an unconstitutional expansion of the federal government's power to regulate interstate commerce. He noted the law had already been struck down by the Supreme Court over this issue once before. However, Congress passed a new version soon afterward. Cooke said the new law has the same problem the old one had. We also talked about the current push to partially repeal the National Firearms Act through budget reconciliation. Cooke again said he'd like to see repeal make it through the process, but he had doubts that delisting silencers or short-barrel shotguns can clear the Byrd Rule. He also expressed some skepticism about whether language in the bill to try and nullify state NFA mirror laws would work in practice. Special Guest: Charles Cooke.
I went undercover at Nashville's No Kings protest to reveal what's really happening.

Mark and Paul Markel, Student of the gun discuss the reconciliation bill that includes restoration of our gun rights by virtually eliminating the unconstitutional NFA and its imposed taxes on our gun rights.
Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I break down Senate Republicans' new proposal to remove everything but machineguns and destructive devices from regulation under the National Firearms Act as part of President Trump's "big beautiful bill." We discuss the upsides and pitfalls of this approach for gun-rights advocates and explain what needs to happen next for it to become law. We also cover a new ruling out of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on the federal Gun Free School Zones Act, a new DOJ brief arguing that AR-15s are protected by the Second Amendment, and emerging new details surrounding a tragic shooting at a recent protest in Salt Lake City.
Cam has the details on the Senate Finance Committee's language repealing the NFA requirements for short-barreled rifles, shotguns, and "any other weapons," as well as a conversation with Grassroots NC's Paul Valone on the prospects of turning North Carolina's permitless carry bill into law.
This week, we're taking a deep dive into the fight over using reconciliation to delist silencers from the National Firearms Act (NFA). The House included a provision to eliminate the tax on firearm silencers/suppressors and one to completely remove them from the NFA's purview. But that wasn't without controversy, and the Senate is now taking up the bill. That's why we've got Knox Williams, the head of the American Suppressor Association, on the show to update us on where things are headed. Williams said there was a meeting between gun-rights activists and Senate staffers this week that left him confident they have a good chance of getting everything they want. He said Republicans were on board with the argument that silencers can be fully delisted because the NFA is a tax at its core. Still, there is a lot of uncertainty about how the parliamentarian will rule on the delisting. Williams agreed that the tax cut is seen as a sure bet. However, he said there's a strong chance delisting gets through, too. Special Guest: Knox Williams.
Ben Sanderson of Gun Owners of America joins Art and War once again to discuss what in the world is going on with the HPA (Hearing Protection Act), the SHORT Act, what this has to do with a massive tax bill and much more! The lads get into it with Ben on all the new ground taking developments for gun rights in 2025, discussing what the reality on the ground is for deregulating suppressors and potentially SBR's from the NFA. The guys also ask Ben a ton of listener questions ranging from the topic of the DEA/FBI combining and absorbing the ATF's responsibilities (and why that would be awful), what traps there are if any with the HPA, what the future could look like for gun rights in relation to recent developments and much more!Check out our guest:https://www.instagram.com/realasiangunlobbyist/https://www.instagram.com/gunownersofamericaRAADS Autism Test:https://embrace-autism.com/raads-r/Check out PP.TF here:https://pptaskforce.comwww.instagram.com/pptaskforce.est23/Check out our Patreon here to support what we do and get insider perks! https://www.patreon.com/CBRNArtCheck out our sponsors: Cloud Defensive / Chad Defensive Rifle / EDC Lights:For 10% off site wide, that stacks with any Cloud Defensive sales, use Code: ARTANDWAR10https://clouddefensive.comTwo Grunts Inc. - Quality *Ä*Ř* Manufacturer:Use code: CBRN for $50 off your order!https://twogruntsinc.com/Attorneys for Freedom - Attorneys on Retainer Program, sign up via this link to support the show:https://attorneysonretainer.us/artandwar Use code: ARTANDWAR10 for $10 off an SMU Belt at AWSin.com Check out our link tree for the rest of our stuff:https://link.space/@CBRNartFollow the lads on IG: Nathan / Main Page: https://www.instagram.com/cbrnart/?hl=en B.R: https://www.instagram.com/br.the.anarchLucas: https://www.instagram.com/heartl1ne/ Phil: https://www.instagram.com/philmxengland/

I probably will no matter the answer to this question but just had this thought and wanted to see what the response is. Does SCD cover you for other firearm related incidents that don't involve self defense? For example, carrying a gun in a commie state like if I vacationed to New York or Illinois? Slightly more extreme situation, do they help protect me if I'm found to be in possession of some NFA items without the proper paperwork? If I have the basic plan and someone in my household uses one of my guns to defend against an intruder and I'm not home, do they help with that if I own the home and gun? Are there specific circumstances that they blatantly say they don't cover or help with outside of the “I'm obviously completely in the wrong, misused a firearm, and am completely retarded” scenarios? You guys rock. No notes. Additional Info From Mitch C: I am the one that had the question about Second Call Defense and wanted to provide a little more clarity to what I was asking. When I heard you read it, I realized it did sound pretty retarded basically asking if I blatantly commit a felony will they protect me. That's not what I meant, Jeremy. The NFA part in my question was in reference to if I had my legally owned can out at the range and for whatever reason I don't have a copy of my tax stamp on me. Or SBR. Or if there is a fudd agent that believes I have an unregistered SBR but it's really an AOW because my overall length is greater than 26”. I'm not asking if I just go ahead and drill a third hole on a Wednesday night if they will defend me in court. I just want to know if they will cover me against a power hungry, incompetent ATF agent or like I said earlier, a lapse in judgement where I grab the wrong range bag that doesn't have the tax stamp for my legally owned suppressor and my luck is so terrible that I cross an ATF check point at the range. Exaggerated and most likely not to happen but just curious. The conceal carry in a bad state scenario is if I'm traveling from Ohio to Iowa and have to pass through Illinois. I believe the laws have changed to allow me to carry as long as I don't have plans to stay in Illinois but please correct me if I'm wrong on that. But if it's riot season and get caught up in a situation where I have to use it to protect myself, will SCD still cover me? Again, I know specific and it's still breaking the law, to agree with Jeremy, but will SCD still fight for my right to self protection in that state? And I don't even mean a Rittenhouse scenario, I mean I stop at a gas station to fill up and it just so happens to be wrong station at wrong time. I know, I know… be aware of surroundings and don't put yourself in those situations but on a drive I've never taken before to a place I've never before and it's just a stop for gas, who knows what's off that exit. Very specific, I know, but just trying to paint a picture. Or does SCD only cover me when everything is legal and black and white and in the lines? I feel like these scenarios are very gray areas and not so black and white. Yes it's illegal for me to carry in Illinois but does that still make it illegal ...
