INSIDE SAFARILAND Do Handgun Silencers Have a Place in the Self Defense World Do silencers have a place in the self defense world? They may not have completely made it there yet, but I think they will be. Safariland blog article examines whether handgun silencers (suppressors) belong in self-defense applications. The author gives a cautious but optimistic ‘yes,' particularly highlighting advantages for home defense scenarios while acknowledging practical limitations. The piece discusses benefits like hearing protection for the shooter and reduced disturbance to bystanders or family members, alongside typical drawbacks such as added size, weight, and legal/regulatory requirements.

THE TRUTH ABOUT GUNS Can You Shoot 5.56 Through a .22 Suppressor? – The Truth About Guns Can you shoot 5.56 through a .22 suppressor? Usually no. Here's why pressure, heat, and gas volume matter so much. The article addresses whether .556/.223 ammunition can be safely fired through a standard .22LR (rimfire) suppressor. In the general case, it is not safe or recommended. Most dedicated rimfire suppressors are engineered only for the much lower pressures, smaller gas volumes, and reduced heat produced by .22LR, .22WMR, or similar rimfire cartridges.

AGENCY BRIEF: STREET SWEEPER / USAS-12 DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE RECLASSIFICATIONWhat this really was: In 1994, ATF took lawfully owned shotguns and shoved them into the NFA “destructive device” category. No vote in Congress. No new statute. Just an agency ruling that turned specific 12-gauge shotguns into the same legal category as grenades. The targets were the Striker-12, the Street Sweeper, and the USAS-12. The Striker and Street Sweeper used revolving cylinders. The USAS-12 was a semi-auto, magazine-fed shotgun. They all fired ordinary 12-gauge shells, the same kind of ammunition people put through hunting pumps all over the country. The legal hook was buried in the National Firearms Act, specifically 26 U.S.C. § 5845(f). That section says a weapon with a bore over one-half inch can be treated as a destructive device unless the government decides it is “generally recognized as particularly suitable for sporting purposes.” A 12-gauge shotgun has a bore of about .73 inches. So every 12-gauge in America avoids the NFA only because ATF treats it as sporting enough. That is the trapdoor. In 1994, during the Clinton administration, ATF issued Rulings 94-1 and 94-2. The agency said these shotguns had no recognized sporting purpose, pointing to their weight, capacity, and military-style features. Once ATF withdrew that exemption, the guns became destructive devices. The pattern was simple: Start with a broad statute and an elastic test like “sporting purposes.” Use subjective factors, including appearance, to pull back prior approval. Reclassify the guns by agency ruling. Open a short amnesty period for tax-free registration. Turn missed paperwork into felony exposure. Confirmed fact: ATF used the sporting purposes clause to reclassify these firearms and require NFA registration without Congress passing a new law. What is less clear is how many legacy owners actually got notice before the amnesty window closed. But the legal threat was real, and the policy result stuck....

Riding Shotgun With Charlie #254 Rick Patterson CCRKBA Board Member & Liberty's Keystone   It's nice to be able to film a show that isn't too far from home. Rick Patterson is only in Connecticut. He's a board member of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. And he owns Liberty's Keystone. We had an interesting conversation about some of the goings on on the international level of firearms.    Rick has been involved with the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the CCRKBA, and even the SAAMI. Before all of that, he started off in the oil business. Hoping to be the VP of the company, he was passed over when the spot came open. A family member saw the ad for the NSSF job and he applied. Having the position filled already, he didn't get that job. But with his experience in environmental compliance, business planning, and whatnot, they had a position dealing with shooting ranges and offered that to him. Fortunately, he was a good fit and took this job.    While at NSSF, Rick was involved in creating their shooting range program, the 5-star shooting program, the Where To Shoot website. He also worked with the EPA and OSHA on lead management. While the Violence Prevention Center was out trying to shut ranges down with accusations of lead poisoning, his team worked to put together the science behind metallic lead in soils and a management plan.    Over the years, ranges were considered successful if they had a good number of members and raised money for their range and cause. But it's important for ranges to have plans to keep the range around for generations. The things Rick's team worked on changed how that was done and how it was developed.    Some of the stories Rick shares are about how local towns wanted to stop an indoor range. So the community pushed to have the parking lot be totally covered with double bullet proof protection and entirely covered. The issue with that is it will now be cost prohibitive to have a parking lot that way, thus not being able to build the range since it didn't meet the requirements the town wanted. Of course, there are people that will bring an entire unused cartridge into the police station and say it landed on their property just like that therefore the range must be shut down.    The executive director of SAAMI opened up and Rick was able to get that position. At the same time, the UN was getting involved with gun control. Under Rick's leadership, he was able to get NGO status for SAAMI and was able to have some input on topics that concerned firearms.    Some of the conversation was about Germany pushing for serialization of ammunition. One German company who had a patent on serialization was pushing for that to happen. But they didn't have to figure out how it's supposed to work, they just declare that it needs to be done. And that will be someone else's problem to figure out the solution.   Rick is a very knowledgeable man who has done many things with the groups and the UN. There's two sides to the UN, there's one side dealing with regulations and one that deals with politics. Eventually, the UN realized that even if firearms production ended and no one made another gun, there are going to be millions of them around for a long time. So they need to change their tactic and approach to going after something like ammunition.    We talked about the small arms treaty and other things at the international level, shipping regulated materials around the world, and much more. It was a very interesting conversation. There's so much more to what is going on than people know or even realize. We've got someone like Rick on our side, who understands how these things work. And he's worked hard to keep things going for us and our firearms.  Favorite quotes: "Sometimes success is just being able to stall it out before you get some draconian law passed." "A successful range is one that's here today, tomorrow, next week, next generation, serving the shooting public." "The countries that are the biggest offenders of the arms deals are not party to it."

BANGRANK A live cast ranking segment for anything and everything in the gun world, powered by questionable certainty, strong opinions, and audience voting. THE AGENCY BRIEF Agency Update 1. AGENCY BRIEF: RUBY RIDGEWhat Ruby Ridge really was: a federal pressure campaign over a minor, technical gun charge that turned into a botched siege, unconstitutional rules of engagement, and the killing of a mother and her child. The setup started in 1989. The ATF wanted an informant inside Aryan Nations circles in northern Idaho. They targeted Randy Weaver, an Army veteran living off-grid with his family. Weaver had racist beliefs and associations, but constitutional limits matter most when the person in the government's sights is unpopular. The ATF used an informant to cultivate Weaver and buy two shotguns. The agency claimed the barrels were cut a fraction of an inch below the 18-inch legal minimum. Whether Weaver cut them at the informant's request or sold them as-is is heavily disputed. What is confirmed is what happened next: the ATF did not arrest him to protect the public. They used the federal firearms charge as leverage to pressure Weaver into becoming a paid snitch. Weaver refused. Because he refused, the ATF pushed the case to prosecutors, and Weaver was indicted in late 1990. Then came the bureaucratic failure. Weaver's court-appointed attorney was sent a notice with the wrong appearance date, and Weaver missed his hearing. Instead of resolving a government paperwork error cleanly, the system escalated. The U.S. Marshals launched an 18-month surveillance operation on his remote cabin. In August 1992, an armed reconnaissance team of Marshals encountered Weaver's 14-year-old son Sammy and family friend Kevin Harris in the woods. A firefight erupted. Exactly who fired first remains disputed, but the results are not: the family dog was killed, Sammy Weaver was shot and killed while running back toward the cabin, and Deputy U.S. Marshal William Degan was killed. The FBI's Hostage Rescue Team was called in to take over. Instead of containment, the FBI adopted modified, unconstitutional rules of engagement. In plain English, agents were told they “could and should” shoot any armed adult male seen outside the cabin. FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi fired two shots. The first wounded Randy Weaver. The second shot, fired as Weaver and Harris retreated, passed through the cabin door and hit Vicki Weaver in the head while she stood in the doorway holding her 10-month-old infant. She died instantly. The legal aftermath demolished the government's narrative: A federal jury acquitted Kevin Harris of murder on self-defense grounds. Randy Weaver was acquitted of all original firearms and murder charges, convicted only of failure to appear and a bail condition violation. A 1995 Department of Justice review found the FBI's modified rules of engagement unconstitutional. The federal government paid over $3 million in civil settlements to the surviving family. Despite Senate hearings and state-level indictments, no federal agent ever served a day in prison for the killings. 2. WHY IT MATTERS Ruby Ridge is the ultimate case study in how federal agencies use technical firearms violations to manufacture leverage, and what happens when their targets refuse to bend. This operation was never about public safety. It was about coercion. When Weaver wouldn't play ball, the agency's objective shifted from investigation to punishment, kicking off a predictable escalation ladder: Use a regulatory charge as a trap. Demand intelligence cooperation, and turn refusal into a target on the citizen's back. Treat a procedural court-date mistake as a fugitive manhunt. Deploy paramilitary recon teams for a paperwork warrant. Rewrite deadly force rules on the fly to authorize a shoot-on-sight posture. Once federal agencies invest that much time, manpower, and ego, the institutional pressure to justify the operation takes over. They stop seeing citizens with rights, and start treating them as enemy combatants on American soil. 3. THE 2A ANGLE For gun owners, Ruby Ridge is the blood-soaked warning label on every “it's just a paperwork violation” argument. The underlying charge was a National Firearms Act measurement. That is the exact kind of regulatory trap Washington loves to describe as narrow, reasonable, and harmless. But in practice, technical gun laws give agencies the legal cover to ruin lives. That is the modern lesson for FFLs navigating zero-tolerance revocations, home builders facing shifting administrative definitions, and ordinary owners one bad pistol-brace ruling away from becoming a federal case file. Apply the Supreme Court's Bruen standard to the government's actions. There is zero text, history, or tradition from the founding era of a permanent federal bureaucracy measuring the barrels of defensive weapons to coerce citizens into acting as informants, and then militarizing a warrant service when the citizen refuses. The Founders would not recognize a system that turns a man into a felon over a quarter-inch of steel. Heller proved that the Second Amendment protects an individual right. But rights on paper mean nothing if the enforcement state can use a minor regulatory allegation to justify surveillance, coercion, and deadly force. The strongest takeaway from Ruby Ridge is that when the federal government wields broad, discretionary power over firearms, abuse is not a glitch. It is the natural result. When agencies can turn a fractional barrel measurement into a capital siege, the process itself becomes the punishment. Being technically compliant doesn't protect you; it just makes you useful until you aren't anymore. GOING BALLISTIC AMMOLAND SHOOTING SPORTS NEWS(Savage) NRA, FPC, SAF v.

The article contrasts this with the 2014 Mount Brown Trail incident where Brian Murphy successfully stopped a charging grizzly using bear spray followed by one shot from a .357 Magnum revolver at 7-10 feet, after which the bear went down and stopped moving. The .357 Magnum round did not kill the bear but incapacitated it temporarily. No recorded deaths in North America when a handgun was fired in defense against a bear. PEW REPORT Arsenal Inc. Open Letter to NSSF on Virginia Assault Weapons Ban Arsenal Inc., a Nevada-based firearms manufacturer and importer (associated with K-VAR.com), published an open letter dated May 22, 2026, responding to Virginia's newly signed assault weapons and high-capacity magazine ban effective July 1, 2026. The letter frames the law as an unconstitutional restriction that creates legal uncertainty, compliance burdens, and business paralysis for citizens, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, ranges, and trainers nationwide, citing precedents in California and Washington. Arsenal Inc. announces immediate heavy discounts and prioritized shipping for Virginia customers through June 19, 2026, while calling on the NSSF and the broader firearms industry to provide coordinated legal, grassroots, and public support, treating the issue as national rather than state-specific. PEW REPORT AI Could Render the Federal Ban on Creating a Gun Registry Obsolete Article discusses a University of Wyoming Firearms Research Center working paper arguing that AI systems could create ‘registry-equivalent knowledge' by extracting, linking, and inferring firearm ownership data from ATF's existing 921 million digitized records (including Form 4473s, out-of-business dealer records, and NICS metadata containing names, addresses, and serial numbers). This would bypass the intent of 18 U.S.C. § 926(a) prohibiting any system of registration of firearms, owners, or transactions, especially as federal AI policy integrates more data.

This week, we're looking at what makes up the bulk of the ATF's new gun rule package: industry regulations. To discuss how the rulemaking will impact gun makers, importers, and retailers, we have Larry Keane of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) on the show. NSSF is the gun industry's trade group, which represents most of the major gun brands in America. Keane said the ATF's proposed changes are the most significant he's seen, and he outlined some of the rules he believes will have the greatest impact. He said that while the ATF consulted NSSF on some of the rules, the group was still reviewing the full text of the dozens of proposals. He argued it will help streamline recordkeeping and sales processing for the gun industry, as well as minimize potential paperwork violations. Keane said the change to the definition of what constitutes a willful violation will help prevent the sort of zero-tolerance policy the Biden Administration imposed. Keane also said the rollback of the pistol brace rule is promising but leaves some questions open. He said the industry doesn't think the gender ID change will prevent anyone from buying guns, but wants further clarity. Still, he said NSSF is very happy with the overall package.Special Guest: Larry Keane.

A chamfer has been added to facilitate faster and easier filling of the loader. Angles have been modified to enable printing without supports. Note MP5 Mag loader [Benelli] Lupo The Benelli Lupo is a bolt-action rifle highlighted in the ‘Art of Performance' video series for its proprietary barrel engineering. It features a three-step manufacturing process including vacuum heat treatment, electrochemical rifling, and cryogenic Crio treatment to achieve superior accuracy and consistency. The rifle's rigid chassis and harmonized action ensure minimal flex, precise alignment, and out-of-box performance.

GOING BALLISTIC Colorado HB 26-1144: Democrats Amend 3D-Printed Firearms Bill to Avoid Veto Colorado House Bill 1144 (HB 26-1144) targets the use of 3D printers to manufacture guns or gun parts, making it a crime in the state. Democrats revised the bill by removing a provision banning the distribution of digital printing instructions to secure passage and avoid a veto from Gov. Jared Polis. The amended version classifies first offenses as Class I misdemeanors and subsequent offenses as Class 5 felonies. Heeter v. James: Challenge to New York's Body Armor Ban Under the Second Amendment Heeter v. James is a federal lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York challenging New York's body armor ban under the Concealed Carry Improvement Act as a Second Amendment violation. Plaintiffs argue body armor qualifies as an ‘arm' for self-defense, supported by historical precedents like Heller and Bruen, common civilian use, and lack of historical bans. The ban prohibits purchase, acquisition, or sale of protective body coverings by non-eligible civilians, with enforcement by state police. National Shooting Sports Foundation, Inc. v. Letitia James: SAF Amicus Brief Urging Supreme Court to Protect Firearms Industry under PLCAA The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), along with NRA and Independence Institute, filed an amicus brief on March 30, 2026, in National Shooting Sports Foundation, Inc. v. Letitia James, challenging New York's law that circumvents the federal Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). SAF argues that New York's statute enables abusive public nuisance lawsuits against firearms manufacturers and dealers, undermining PLCAA's protections against meritless litigation campaigns aimed at bankrupting the industry. The brief urges the Supreme Court to grant certiorari and reaffirm PLCAA's safeguards for lawful commerce and Second Amendment rights. Colorado House Bill 1144: 3D Gun Printing Ban Drops Digital Instructions Provision to Avoid Veto (Savage) Colorado's House Bill 1144 originally aimed to ban the manufacture of 3D printed guns and components like high-capacity magazines and receivers, as well as the sale or distribution of digital instructions for printing them. Lawmakers removed the provision on digital instructions after Gov. Jared Polis indicated he would veto the bill otherwise. The amended bill passed a preliminary Senate vote and is expected to be signed into law. Warren-Meeks Letter Demands Data on U.S. Semi-Automatic Firearm Export Licenses (Savage) U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Greg Meeks (D-NY) sent a letter to the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security requesting detailed data on semi-automatic firearm export licenses approved since January 2025. They cite ATF data linking U.S. exports to 20% of crime gun traces in Central America and 37% worldwide outside North America, demanding info on licenses, recipients, and monitoring by April 13, 2026. This follows Biden administration pauses on certain exports and Warren's recent legislation targeting ammunition sales and military-grade weapons. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: Pro-Gun Control Policies with $30 Million Taxpayer-Funded Armed Security (Savage) Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson supports Illinois' restrictive gun control measures, including a ban on assault-style weapons upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in 2023, while employing an armed security detail of up to 150 Chicago Police Department officers. This security costs taxpayers approximately $30 million annually. The arrangement highlights a perceived double standard where officials enjoy armed protection amid public firearm restrictions. Rep. Fry Files Amicus Brief in NSSF v. James Seeking SCOTUS Review to Defend Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) (Savage) Rep. Russell Fry (R-SC), leading 54 House colleagues, and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) with Senate colleagues, filed an amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to review the Second Circuit's decision in NSSF v. James. The brief defends the PLCAA, a 2005 federal law preempting state liability suits against gun manufacturers for criminal misuse of firearms, against New York's public nuisance law. It argues the Second Circuit ruling undermines congressional intent and enables similar state circumventions. Armed Citizen Fights Off Attackers at Arundel Mills Mall, Hanover, Maryland (Savage) On March 28, 2026, an armed citizen at Arundel Mills Mall in Hanover, Maryland, drew a firearm during an assault by three attackers outside Burlington Coat Factory, discharging it and wounding one in the wrist. The attackers fled, leading to a police chase and crash on I-97, resulting in three arrests. The incident highlights civilian self-defense in a Maryland jurisdiction.0 Michigan Lawyer Barton Morris Helps Non-Violent Felons Restore Gun Rights via Federal DOJ Program (Savage) A Michigan lawyer, Barton Morris, assists non-violent felons who have completed their sentences in petitioning for firearm rights restoration through a proposed U.S. Department of Justice program. Michigan state law currently prohibits these individuals, such as those convicted of drug offenses, drunk driving, or theft, from owning guns post-sentence. An example is Clarence Overstreet, who filed a petition after a past cocaine possession conviction to protect his family and hunt. Calce v. City of New York Calce v. City of New York challenges New York City's ban on civilian possession of stun guns and tasers in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals (docket 25-861). The district court granted summary judgment to the city in March 2025, ruling plaintiffs failed to prove common use for Second Amendment protection. Oral arguments occurred, focusing on whether ‘common use' is a plaintiff burden under Bruen or shifts to the government. Ohio SB 392: Freedom to Carry Act Ohio Senate Bill 392, introduced on March 23, 2026, seeks to reform state weapons carry laws by expanding concealed carry beyond handguns to other deadly weapons, renaming licenses to concealed weapons licenses, and lowering the licensing age from 21 to 18. It permits licensed carry of concealed deadly weapons excluding ‘exclusive deadly weapons' defined as dangerous ordnance or federally/state-prohibited items, and allows loaded firearm possession in vehicles. The bill remains in the introduced stage amid Ohio's Republican legislative supermajorities. REVIEWS Review: The 5th cast member from Oregon From The 5th cast member If I visited each of the cast members. Sean First I would ask to see vault and when he took me to the gun vault I'd say no I mean the vault of money but you don't tell the other cast members about. Then we would take some time digging through all of the boxes of gear that he has been given by sponsors of the show over the years that he's never even opened or look at. Poring me a drink of something suspicious but claim it is some sort of Old world drink to see you. Sure few drinks probably want to show me a smooth child by balls which of course would scar me for life but they're really weird part would be with his pants down asking me if I want to play some hockey. Savige He would show me all of his communist compliant guns. Which wouldn't really actually be very many. Explain to me all of the conspiracy theories around the government in the state and federal. To ask if I wanted to join him secret group that was planning the next January 6th type event only he would call it January 7th as if that was enough secret seat to avoid being obvious. I received there believing I was just been trapped by an FBI informed. Aaron Quickly after meeting Erin he would want to show me the book he's been working on “the art of working” I'm genuinely act interested not to crushes dreams of becoming some sort of Tom Clancy. Then he would give me a 2 hour tutorial on how to use indeed. Followed by a house to get fired but still get the maximum unemployment benefits. Jarami I probably meet him at his gun store first. Shoot his “Part 2 because you wouldn't let me text the whole story. Nick

Cost: The alert is a call to action for industry members to contact their representatives and advocate for additional funding for the ATF. The NSSF argues that the current disruptions are a result of "outdated and under-resourced IT infrastructure" that requires congressional support to modernize. Different/Special: The alert highlights a massive anomaly in processing volume: On January 1 alone, the ATF processed approximately 150,000 e-Forms, compared to a typical daily average of just 2,500. The NSSF is explicitly encouraging retailers to document these issues and lobby for government spending to prevent future system failures.   Going Ballistic Censorship Strike: A New Chapter for Second Amendment Critics (no summary available) https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/south-carolina-firearms-industry-liability-bill-hb4723/ https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/south-carolina-firearms-industry-liability-bill-hb4723/ https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/suppressor-sales-surge-in-2026/ https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/suppressor-sales-surge-in-2026/ https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/uk-man-seeks-u-s-asylum-after-arrest-over-gun-photo/ https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/uk-man-seeks-u-s-asylum-after-arrest-over-gun-photo/ https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/anti-gun-senators-attack-doj-second-amendment-office/ https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/anti-gun-senators-attack-doj-second-amendment-office/ Delaware's Permit-to-Purchase: A Comedy of Errors in Gun Control (no summary available) TikTok's Trendy Gun Show: Minors in the Crosshairs (no summary available) Reviews ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Typicalpnwguy - Can't get enough of the podcast even after all these years.

National Shooting Sports Foundation senior vice president and general counsel Larry Keane joins Cam with an update on the group's efforts to help reform the ATF, including a recent request to undo a Biden-era restriction requiring FFLs to keep reams of paperwork on hand for as long as they own their business; a move that could help future anti-gun administrations build a back door gun registry.

National Shooting Sports Foundation senior vice president and general counsel Larry Keane tells Cam the organization is strongly opposed to the idea of merging ATF and DEA into a single agency, arguing that the firearms industry and gun owners would be better off with structural reforms to the ATF instead.

It's a very special week that is near and dear to National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) President and CEO Joe Bartozzi, who joins Fred on the Sportsmen's Voice podcast to talk about Project ChildSafe® and Gun Storage Check Week. Fred welcomes Joe Bartozzi to the show to emphasize the importance of firearm safety, secure storage, and the myriad of educational resources available to gun owners. Bartozzi shares personal stories and insights on the significance of proactive measures to prevent accidents and misuse of firearms, and they cover the need for responsible gun ownership to protect and support our rights, the impact of new gun owners on the shooting sports and firearms community, and the various options available to gun owners for securing firearms at home and in vehicles.    Key Takeaways: Project Childsafe®: This incredible program has distributed over 41 million firearm safety kits. Gun Storage Check Week: This initiative aims to remind gun owners to assess their storage practices, and provides education that is crucial for new gun owners to understand secure storage options. Responsible Storage Tips: There is no one-size-fits-all approach to firearm storage; it varies by individual circumstances. However, technological advancements have made secure storage more accessible and efficient. Firearms should always be unloaded when not in use, and cable locks are a simple solution, and vehicle storage is critical, as many firearms are stolen from cars.   Get the FREE Sportsmen's Voice e-publication in your inbox every Monday: www.congressionalsportsmen.org/newsletter                Sign up for FREE legislative tracking through CSF's Tracking the Capitols tool: www.congressionalsportsmen.org/tracking-the-capitols/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I unpack federal lobbying data from the first quarter of 2025, which show that gun-rights groups have been far outspending gun-control advocates on the Hill. We also cover new monthly gun sales data showing a continued slump for the industry. Finally, we discuss a new gun industry liability shield signed into law in Tennessee before wrapping up with some stories from outside The Reload.

This week, we're taking a close look at the state of the gun industry and the potential impact of President Donald Trump's tariffs. That's why I'm interviewing the head of the gun industry's trade group. National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) general counsel Larry Keane is back on the show to detail where the industry is at today and where it's headed. Perhaps the biggest question to answer is what tariffs will do to domestic and foreign firearms companies. Keane said tariffs, even the reduced levels of the latest "pause," are likely to drive up costs for gun and ammo makers. He said importers are likely to be hit the hardest, but domestic manufacturers aren't immune from increased raw material costs either. He said NSSF is waiting to see exactly how things shake out and it expects some of its members will face steep challenges from the tariffs while others may end up benefiting from them. He also said he's hopeful the tariffs are just a negotiating tactic on the part of President Trump and believes they could lead to something positive for the industry. Keane noted NSSF's latest report shows strong long-term growth among gun businesses. Although, he did admit sales have been down recently and demand could remain relatively soft in the short term.

Today on Armed American Radio hour two, Dr. John Lott founder of CrimeResearch.org gives detailed analysis of the Biden White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention and what should be done about. Should it remain in place and be rebranded and repurposed into a pro gun office? Should it be scrapped as Larry Kean of NSSF has suggested? There are several ideas being floated across the gun rights organizations with many suggesting it should be rebranded into the office of violent crime prevention and outright scrapping it on day one as a relic of the Biden administration and it's ongoing war against our second amendment rights. John and Mark also discuss Pam Bondi pick for Attorney General.
