Mike Lee Sen. Mike Lee introduced the Cartel Marque and Reprisal Reauthorization Act, allowing private entities to combat drug cartel smuggling and violence by seizing cartel assets outside the U.S. The proposed legislation, which echoes historical practices of granting private citizens authority to engage in acts against enemies, has implications for the gun community as it may enable armed citizens to take action against perceived threats from cartels. The Agency Brief Agency Brief — LETTERS OF MARQUE COLD OPEN "The same founders who supposedly 'never imagined AR-15s' literally wrote into the Constitution a program where private citizens could own warships, cannons, and get paid to hunt America's enemies. But sure, tell me more about how 'weapons of war' are only for the government." THE CORE STORY: CONSTITUTIONAL PIRACY The Power: Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 gives Congress the power to grant "Letters of Marque and Reprisal." This is a government license converting a private citizen into a legal combatant. It authorized the use of privately owned warships, cannons, and small arms to capture enemy vessels for profit. The Intent: The Founders distrusted standing armies. Their solution? Unleash the free market on America's enemies. It wasn't a loophole; it was the strategy. The Reality: This destroys the modern argument that civilians shouldn't own "weapons of war." The Constitution relies on it. FULL HISTORICAL BREAKDOWN Origins: Dates back to medieval times as a way for merchants to recoup losses from foreign thieves. Revolutionary War Usage: Continental Navy: ~60 ships. American Privateers: ~1,700 ships. Result: Private citizens captured ~600 British vessels and supplied the colonies with seized gunpowder and goods. War of 1812: The US Navy was still tiny. Privateers essentially fundamentally were the American naval strategy. Ordinary businessmen up-armored their schooners and decimated British trade routes. The Kill Switch: 1856 Declaration of Paris. European powers banned privateering to protect their massive state navies from scrappy private competition. Fact: The US never signed this treaty, but we eventually complied to fit in with "civilized" nations. Modern Attempt: Following 9/11, Rep. Ron Paul introduced bills to issue Letters of Marque to hunt al-Qaeda. The establishment buried it. They preferred a trillion-dollar occupation over a bounty-hunter approach. FACT CHECK SUMMARY Confirmed: Private citizens owned the 18th-century equivalent of nuclear-armed frigates (cannons/warships) with the blessing of the government. Myth: "Privateering was lawless piracy." Correction: It was highly regulated. "Prize Courts" adjudicated every capture. Lawless behavior was punished by hanging. Missing Context: The State's monopoly on violence is a modern invention. The Founders viewed war as a participatory duty of the armed citizen. Hidden Incentive: Why don't we use it now? Because the Defense Industrial Complex (Raytheon, Lockheed) cannot compete with low-cost private operators. The government wants total control, even if it costs more and works less. IMPACT ON GUN OWNERSHIP Reframing the Narrative: When anti-gunners say, "The 2A doesn't cover weapons of war," the response is: "Actually, Article 1 authorizes me to own a battleship." Bruen & Litigation: Under the Bruen test (Text, History, and Tradition), there is a robust tradition of civilians owning artillery and naval warships. If the history supports private ownership of cannons, it certainly supports private ownership of standard rifles and magazines. Cultural Impact: It moves the gun culture debate from "sporting purposes" to "national defense," which is where the Constitution places it. AGENCY NOTES (POLITICAL ANALYSIS) Regulatory Creep: We shifted from a Citizen-Militia/Privateer model to a Standing Army/Federal Law Enforcement model. The Motive: Control. An armed populace capable of waging naval war is impossible to oppress. A disarmed populace dependent on the Navy for protection is compliant. Action Item: Use Letters of Marque to mock the "F-15s and Nukes" argument. The Founders didn't just allow private firepower; they banked the nation's survival on it.

Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 - Dear WLS ThreeRaccoons InnaTrenchCoat - What programs do Shawn, Nick and Savage use for 3D modeling? Are they subscription based or free? I would like to dive into 3D modeling but don't really want to pay a subscription. A one-time fee would be okay i suppose. Tuul Steele - "I was thinking Hard the other day about that long, cylindrical reciprocating part of an Assault Railer - 15 and it got me curious (bi-curious) about steel selection for a BCG. YES, I know all steel is not created equally Jeremy, but in the case of the BCG which does the cast recommend and which is just more expensive for no reason. Not talking coatings, although you can add that to the pot, I am mainly referring to the materials; Carpenter 158 aka "The Thing", 9310 aka "The Beverly Hills BCG", or S7 Tool Steel aka "The Audi Tool". Love the show and the cast. You guys are keeping me topside on long days. Keep up the good work. Also just buy Aaron a huffy with a baseball card in the spokes and call it a day. Toss in a bottle of Malort for the basket on the handle bars. #WLSisLife #shootstraight" Plow Guy Dave - What do you think will be the cool, new trend at SHOT Show this year? Do you think that there will be an influx of NFA stuff like SBR's, SBS's and suppressors since the One Big Beautiful Bill will be active? I know you guys don't go to SHOT anymore, but what would you like to see come out? John B - So I was listening to the AR-15 podcast and Dauly keeps saying you need to buy mags in “generational wealth” volume. What is it that you guys think is the appropriate number of mags to have for your rifle and pistol? Do I really need to have 10 mags minimum? Gus Gus - Hello people and Aaron, What one thing do you each think we do or use or teach in the firearms space that we will one day look back on and say “wow, I can't believe we let that happen” (besides letting Aaron speak). Could be anything from gear to training to lawfare practices. For myself, I think open emitter red dots on concealed carry guns will be looked at as weird and genX level fuddery and anyone who uses one will always feel like explaining it away like Jeremy does with iron sights. Thanks guys and Aaron Unfit for Human Consumption - What software would you recommend for tracking a gun collection? I have (only) a few dozen guns, and have been using "NMCollector" since about 2005, and it meets my needs. It is now $15/year which is very reasonable, and a "lifetime" activation is less than 85-bucks. A quick search on the interwebs for alternatives reveals "ArmoryBook" which is $200/yr for up to 50 records, and "GunTrack" which is $100/yr for up to 100 records; both are way over budget for my needs. Are there other softwares I'm not aware of that you'd recommend? I don't keep pictures generally, and all I really need to track is make, model, caliber, description, year & country of manufacture, source, cost, appraised value, etc for insurance records and for my wife to cash in on this "401(G)uns" fund when I'm gone (hopefully not for several decades). Or should I just create an Excel spreadsheet? Sunshine Shooter - Forced Reset triggers seem to be a commercially available thing now, but I'm having trouble keeping track of what is out there. What forced reset triggers/super safeties do you recommend I look into getting for a poor man's MP5 I'm planning on putting together? Matthew P - Just bought a 5 inch VFM-9 from Foxtrot Mike. What accessories would you add to this if you are going to keep it as a backpack gun? Suppressor? Flip up sights and/or red dot/prism? sling? anything else?   The winner of this week's swag pack is Gus Gus!

Agency Brief AGENCY BRIEF: SHAYS' REBELLION  1780 – 1785: Economic Conditions Veterans' Pay: Paid in depreciated Continental currency/IOUs. State Policy: Massachusetts demands taxes in hard currency (gold/silver). The Debt: Boston merchants control state debt; courts aggressively foreclose on farms and imprison debtors. August – October 1786: Escalation Aug 29: 1,500 "Regulators" seize the Northampton courthouse to stop debtor trials. Sept: Armed shutdowns spread to Worcester, Concord, and Great Barrington. Captain Daniel Shays emerges as leader. Sept 26: Shays (600 men) vs. Gen. Shepard (militia) at Springfield Supreme Judicial Court. No fire exchanged; court adjourns. Oct 20: Continental Congress authorizes troops but lacks funds. MA passes Riot Act (arrests without bail). January 1787: The Private Army Jan 4: Gov. Bowdoin authorizes a private militia. Funding: 125 Boston merchants subscribe £6,000. Force: 3,000 mercenaries raised, led by Gen. Benjamin Lincoln. January 25, 1787: Springfield Arsenal (The Climax) Objective: Shays leads ~1,200 men to seize 7,000 muskets/cannons at the federal arsenal. Defense: Gen. Shepard (900 militia) defends the arsenal. The Engagement: Shepard fires artillery warning shots over rebels' heads. Rebels advance. Shepard fires grapeshot directly into the ranks. Casualties: 4 rebels dead, 20 wounded. Rebels flee without firing. February – June 1787: The Fallout Feb 4: Gen. Lincoln marches overnight through a blizzard to Petersham, surprising retreating rebels. 150 captured; Shays escapes to Vermont. Spring Election: Gov. Bowdoin is voted out in a landslide; John Hancock elected Governor. June: Hancock issues broad pardons.

Modern Parallels Narrative: Veterans labeled "insurrectionists" for resisting economic policy. Tactics: Use of private capital to fund state enforcement when tax revenue failed. Legal Precedent: Establishing the "well-regulated militia" as a counter-balance to federal military power.   WLS is Lifestyle Jelly Roll and Gun Rights Jelly Roll wants his gun rights back to hunt after losing them for felonies.

Just heard the convo about Aaron's weird ability to pull interest from the fairer sex. You couldn't come up with a good word for it - I'm here to help. The perfect word is conFAUXdence. You're welcome.   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Devin K - Where is the damn squares button!? Love this show and all the antics that come along with it. Lever action debate that would be fun to listen too. What's your favorite lever action caliber for whitetail hunting? What would be the one you would take if you needed to defend that SSB. #171, #fuckthethumb.   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from System AI - A review and comparison to bring us all back to Dungeon Crawler Carl. Let's pair each cast member to a Character from DCC. First, Shawn, obviously he's Carl. He's the main character. He's powerful. He's the reason we are all here. There may or may not be a Cat that led him here. He likely has someone obsessed with his feet and definitely only has heart boxers on behind his desk. Second, Aaron, he's Prepotene. Smart and powerful. Sometimes on the team, sometimes in the way, sometimes nowhere to be seen. Probably rides a Goat. Screams nonsense from time to time. Would be dead without the rest of the team. Third, Jeremy. Jeremy is Quasar. Swears constantly Hates the leader/rulers of the galaxy and game. Is there everytime we need him. Will likely be the reason the rest end up in a prison. Fourth, Savage. He's JuiceBox. Extremely smart. AI generated. Self aware. Playing the same game but may have a different motive. Likely to lead to the downfall of the show. Last, Nick. Nick is Samantha. Much more powerful then he's willing to let on. Always growing in power. A very important member to keep the show running. Would be dangerous if all his organs worked correctly. And Shawn has definitely been inside him. These comparisons can not be altered. Debate will result in acceleration. Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Text Dear WLS or Reviews. +1 743 500 2171 - Dear WLS Operative Enthalpy - Dear WLSWhat are your thoughts on a tunable gas block, like the one from Odin Works, versus a standard gas block, or an adjustable gas block. Is it a solution looking for a problem that should be solved by having a proper gas port size in your barrel, or is it a somewhat valuable option for tuning a range or hunting gun to function smoothly for general operating conditions.Operative Enthalpy Anonymous Coward from GA - Do you think the top part of a mermaid also tastes like fish or that it would actually be red meat? Would there be a solid line where the meat changes in their body or would it kind of blend? Could you make a surf and turf platter with one carcass? Fisher Cat - Hey guys, was thinking of getting a shotgun. In your opinion should I get a Remington 870 or a Mossberg 500? Both of them are at my LGS for $400 and I'm torn between which would be better for home defense and hunting. Also, would a shotgun be a good weapon to have in an event where society collapses? Thanks keep up the good fight #ssb#ShootStraight Gaston Glock - Is the aftermarket beaver tail for Glocks to adjust the grip angle to be more like a 1911 a gimmick or would it actually be something to consider if you like how a 1911 feels in your hand. Zac C - Hey guys, just wanted to give an update on what I went with for my son's first real gun for his 13th birthday. Went with the ruger American gen 2 .243 20” barrel partly because of the removable LOP on the stock, then when he's bigger he can still use it as a full size gun. Added an sig buckmaster 3x9 that my brother got him paired with some leupold rings. Thanks for the opinions that I might hear before his next birthday. Shute str8 notes in 90-120 business days Scott G - I noticed we don't talk about Brownells anymore. Are they no longer a sponsor? Matt A - 2 questions…I have a comp'd g43x and am thinking about changing out the guide rod and spring to a lighter weight than the 17# oem spring. Is the a difference or an advantage in using a single spring guide rod set vs dual spring sets? Ammo used is defensive 124 gr jhp. In regards to ammo, what's the benefit to using +p ammo in a comp'd handgun and will the extra pressure negate what the compensator is supposed to do?Thanks and love the show.   Chris M - How much does the Gideon Guardeon 1-8x FFP scope weigh? My deer getter, a 16"" .450 bush hamster AR, with a 19oz Dead Air Primal is already getting kind of heavy.

We Like Shooting Episode 640 This episode of We Like Shooting is brought to you by: Midwest Industries, Die Free Co., Medical Gear Outfitters, Mitchell Defense, Rost Martin, and Swampfox Optics   Welcome to the We Like Shooting Show, episode 640! Our cast tonight is Jeremy Pozderac, Savage1r, Jon Patton, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show!   - Gear Chat Nick - KRG Bravo Unplugged KRG Bravo Shawn - GLOCK Unveils Ergonomically Enhanced Generation 6 Models ## Key Points Summary Intro This summary captures the main takeaways from the Glock Gen 6 launch coverage featuring John from the Warrior Poet Society. The discussion centers on design changes, practical improvements, and shooting impressions, with notes on market timing and pricing. Sponsorships were not part of the core content. Center Key design changes and their practical impact - Grip and texture: The new texture sits between Gen 4 and RTF2; two backstraps including a palm swell are provided. The texture extends higher on both sides for a more secure hold, especially in hot conditions. - Ergonomics: Deeper trigger guard undercut reduces the “Glock knuckle” issue; the grip surface is larger, improving surface area for those with bigger hands; the grip shape swells in the midsection for a more natural wrap. - Controls: Deeper slide serrations, especially on top, enhance manipulation from either end of the slide. The ambidextrous slide release remains, and the pistol uses a single recoil spring (as in earlier generations) while retaining some material from the B-series. - Magwell and contour: The magwell is more flared; the overall contour resembles a topographic map, broadening the hand placement area and increasing leverage for a stronger grip. - Gas pedals and holster compatibility: Gas pedals are built into the frame on both sides with material reduced to protect compatibility with Gen 5 holsters; the goal is a functional improvement without forcing new holsters. - Optics and plates: The plate system is not MOS; it uses a polymer insert that sits lower on the slide and acts like a crush washer under tension. Footprints include Delta Point and RMR; optic-ready configuration remains, with some models rumored to feature polymer sights. - Sights and optics readiness: The factory setup is optics-ready, with some early photos showing polymer sight options. - Barrel and reliability: The Marksman barrel remains, but the extractor housing has been redesigned to be removable for easier maintenance and to reduce installation errors. - Handling and feel: The grip bite is strong but not overly tacky, enabling fast, controlled manipulations without the gun sticking to the hand. Models, availability, and pricing - US launch models: Gen 617 (with Glock 47 form factor), 19-length slide paired to a full-size grip (G45-like); overseas, Glock 49 appears as a variant. - Optics-ready configuration: All examples are MOS-ready or compatible, with plates included for common footprints. - Pricing and timing: MSRP is anticipated around $750; production units were slated to begin arriving in January, with possible earlier availability as information evolves. - Accessories and maintenance: An updated extractor housing system is highlighted as simplifying field maintenance and reducing failure risks due to improper screw length. User experience and feedback - Hand feel: The curved, swollen midsection improves leverage and comfort; the grip texture provides secure grip without excessive tackiness, avoiding slip during rapid manipulation. - Shooting impressions: A large, controlled sampling (nine pistols and thousands of rounds) yielded consistent ejection and reliable cycling during demonstrations; full independent testing will further validate reliability. - Community notes: Gen 5 users worried about slide-lock issues may benefit from deeper cuts and reinforced stops; modular grip options were not part of the initial rollout, though patent activity suggests ongoing development. Outro Takeaway: Gen 6 Glock delivers meaningful ergonomic and grip improvements, while maintaining optics readiness and reliability expectations. The US market rollout is aimed for January with a target MSRP near $750; overseas options include Glock 49. Next steps include comprehensive independent testing, longer-term reliability data, and broader real-world reviews. Stay tuned for updates, and consider price-alert subscriptions for stock and accessory availability.

Shawn - Taurus Raging Hunter: Now Available in .350 Legend Taurus has launched a new version of its Raging Hunter revolver series chambered in .350 Legend, catering to shooters seeking a revolver suitable for hunting with straight-walled cartridges. The new models feature barrel lengths of 10.5 and 14 inches, and include enhancements for recoil management and accessory compatibility.

WLS is Lifestyle Hoover's Legal Rollercoaster ## Key Points Summary,**Intro**,This summary distills the latest developments surrounding Matt Hoover, the CRS Firearms creator, after a lengthy legal battle tied to the so-called “auto key card.” The focus is on the factual timeline, legal questions, and current status as Hoover emerges from federal prison into a halfway house. The material below omits sponsorship references and concentrates on the core events and implications for Hoover, his case, and ongoing appeals., ,**Centerpiece Facts & Timeline**,,- **Subject and backdrop**: Matt Hoover, known for the CRS Firearms YouTube channel, was linked to advertisements for the auto key card—a novelty item featuring a lightning-link-like etching intended to imply automatic-fire capability. The item did not function as advertised, and there is no evidence Hoover owned, sold, or manufactured machine guns or auto key cards.,- **Arrest and charge**: Despite the nonfunctional etching and absence of direct ownership or manufacturing activity, Hoover was arrested and charged with trafficking machine guns. The case connected him to Christopher Justin Irvin, the creator of the auto key card.,- **Sentencing dynamics**: The pre-sentencing report highlighted Hoover's clean criminal record and his role as the family's primary breadwinner, presenting a favorable background for leniency. Yet, prosecutors sought the maximum sentence, arguing aggressive measures despite the limited direct involvement in weapon manufacture or sales.,- **Contested assertions**: The government asserted extreme accusations, including a claim that Hoover married to prevent her testimony, despite Hoover and his wife sharing multiple children. These assertions drew skepticism and counter-arguments during proceedings and appellate discussions.,- **Gag order controversy**: The government attempted to impose gag orders on journalists covering the case. Those efforts were challenged and ultimately overturned, favoring press freedom and coverage of the proceedings.,- **Appeals process**: Hoover and Irvin both appealed their convictions to the Eleventh Circuit. The Eleventh Circuit heard the appeal in September, but no published decision had been issued at the time of reporting. The appellate discussion centers on evidentiary standards, the government's interpretation of the auto key card's legal status, and potential misapplications of trafficking statutes given the novelty item's nonfunctional nature.,- **Current status**: Hoover has been released from federal prison into a halfway house to serve the remainder of his sentence, effectively transitioning from confinement to supervised community-based placement. He is not at home, but he is no longer in a traditional prison setting. The case remains active on appeal, with the circuit court's decision pending.,- **Context and implications**: The broader implications touch on how prosecutors frame “trafficking” related to nonfunctional or novelty items, the evidentiary boundaries for associating creators with distributors, and the practical impact on families and communities tied to defendants in high-profile cases.,- **Public calls to action**: Viewers and supporters are encouraged to engage with ongoing legal debates, follow the Eleventh Circuit decision when released, and participate in related community discussions. Acknowledgment of the current status, while staying tuned for further updates,

Double Tap Episode 439 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Gideon Optics, Primary Arms, Night Fision, Blue Alpha, Bowers Group, and Second Call Defense   Welcome to Double Tap, episode 439! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Jon Patton and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! Jon Patton - https://theguncollective.com/ Dear WLS Hunter M - Wanting to upgrade my Ender 3 Pro to a Bambu X1C, but I am hesitant to buy one if there is a possibility of blocking 2A prints. I have seen where some people suggest never connecting it to the internet and only printing off of SD cards but it seems like you could be missing out on a ton of features. Is it worth it to connect it to the internet or play it safe and only use it offline? If it was connected and they pushed out anti-gun restrictions how could you get the printer back to printing freedom? Conner R - What are your go to snacks or meals when hiking, camping, hunting, or rucking? What are you favorite meals in general? Thanks!l Uvuana Suqit - Why does every host on the Firearms Radio Network seem to have an astigmatism? And a bunch of other media people in the firearms industry in general. I hear constantly about not being able to use red dots because of astigmatism, making the dot not a perfect circle, and some other shape. Just want to say that the projection on the glass for red dots won't be a perfect circle with the way they are designed/manufactured, and the “dot” has a weird shape because it is projecting a bunch of tiny dots to a general area on the glass to make up the dot. It does not create a perfect circle. And if you focus on the “dot,” then you will see “imperfection” vs looking at the target where the “imperfection” will be nonexistent, with the general dot shape being over the target. I'm just curious if everyone is mistaking this inherent design of the red dot projection for something that is wrong with their eyes. And when every host says they have an astigmatism, it just seems odd. Karl F - The conflict in Ukraine has demonstrated the usefulness of small drones when it comes to both reconnaissance and delivery of payloads. This usefulness could definitely extend beyond combat to a SHTF scenario. Have any of you considered adding a drone to your gear collection?#blamecanada Oopsie Daisy - If you wanted to escape thermal imaging, do you think throwing a mylar poncho over the wool Five Star Alterations poncho would have a greater effect on reducing your thermal signature? For no one in particular, I'm interested to hear all of your opinions on this. Nate B - How far back is too far back for barrel porting? I understand you'd like the port as far forward as possible as that is where it's most beneficial (better tilt point) but I've seen ported Glocks and other pistols where they have multiple, tiny holes that seem to be fairly close to the chamber. Also ports > comps Anthony L - I wanted to ask what sites you use for the 3d print files. Thank you   The winner of this week's swag pack is Oopsie Daisy!

Free Ship over $75.  Code MGO15 -Swampfox https://www.swampfoxoptics.com/shop-all-bfcm25   Dear WLS NightWasher Tx - I was looking for a holsters for my FNS-9 long slide with a griffin ez-lock comp on it. And I found this holster company that will make any custom holster you want. They do something that if have not seen before in adding leather to the inside for a smooth draw. I love the fact that they will make a custom holster for non stock guns, because none of my pistols are the stock setup. Like my S&W Shield 45 with a threaded barrel, ez lock comp, and a red dot.Sense this is supposed to be a question, what do you all think of holsters with leather lined inside, and not I don't care about Aaron's thoughts, so that question is for everyone else. www.giholsters.com/product-p/hst1490.htm Roger B - So I have a CZ BREN 2 and I was wondering if yall have come across a 3D printed lower that accepts standard AR parts? I know that HAGA defense makes them but they are $450. The lower on the BREN isn't the serialized part so that's not the problem and it's polymer anyways so I was thinking a 3D printed one should work just fine. Thanks for the help. Lance D - Is Cloud Defensive going the same route as BRC? I ordered a light that was in stock on August 1st 2025. It is now almost October 1st with no light in hand. All they've said is, “Due to a leaked coupon code, we are trying to catch up on orders.” I call BS! If an item was in stock, it shouldn't take 2+ months to ship! Never again will I purchase one of there products! Mind you this was off of their actual website Mike H - Planning an sbr build around 8"" for when the tax goes to $0, debating between a 9mm (probably a mat9k or sp9a3), a brn-180 gen3 in .300blk, but also thinking other calibers like 10mm, 45, and willing to consider other options. Not wanting direct blowback but roller delayed is great, small overall package preferred. P.S. Don't make too much fun of Aaron's small package, it's why he grabs other peoples' packages Desert D Deagleton - Does the cast consider the Ruger Blackhawk to be a cowboy gun? It's quite different from a Colt. Adjacent question, were there aftermarket adjustable sights for Colt SAAs or the competition back in the day? Perhaps Lyman made something in the 20s or something. I really like having real sights on a revolver cause of my garbage vision. Are there any other SAA clones that have taller adjustable sights but look less modern like the Blackhawks do? Warren Peace - Youz guyz, Do you prefer a fixed blade or folder for every day/pocket carry? Thank you for your wise counsel, magic 8 ball, Severely, Warren Peace Nate L - Is it just me, or does that deal bro jiggle get stuck in your head as well? I find myself randomly humming it or singing it sometimes... Jeremy's Bitch - Do you guys have any fixed blade knives mounted to plate carriers or battle belts? If so, which ones? What is your go to choice for everyday pocket knifes? Do you ever carry a knife for self defense if you're ever “not carrying” in any places like banks or schools?

Gun Fights Step right up for "Gun Fights," the high-octane segment hosted by Nick Lynch, where our cast members go head-to-head in a game show-style showdown! Each contestant tries to prove their gun knowledge dominance. It's a wild ride of bids, bluffs, and banter—who will come out on top? Tune in to find out! Agency Brief English Bill of Rights 1689 COLD OPEN: Back in 1689, the British figured out that a government with a standing army and disarmed citizens was a bad idea. Then they forgot. THE VILLAIN: KING JAMES II (THE ORIGINAL ANTI-GUNNER) The Motive: James II wanted absolute power and a Catholic takeover of a Protestant nation. The Tactics: Used "Game Laws" (hunting regs) to disarm commoners. Selectively disarmed political enemies (Protestants) while arming loyalists (Catholics). Built a standing army in peacetime to intimidate the populace. The Lesson: Gun control was created to secure political power, not public safety. THE REVOLUTION: THE "GLORIOUS" HOSTILE TAKEOVER The Invite: Elites ("Immortal Seven") invited William of Orange to invade England. The Flight: James II's military support collapsed; he fled to France. The Contract: Parliament told William: "You can be King, but only if you sign this rights document." THE DOCUMENT: WHAT IT ACTUALLY SAYS The Text: "That the subjects which are Protestants may have arms for their defence suitable to their conditions and as allowed by law." The Wins: Recognized an individual right to have arms. Explicitly stated the purpose was "defence" (not just militia service). Banned standing armies in peacetime without Parliament's consent. The Traps (Bugs): "Suitable to their conditions": Classism. Rich people got better determination of rights. "As allowed by law": The loophole that eventually killed gun rights in the UK. THE AMERICAN UPGRADE (FIXING THE BUGS) The Fix: Madison and the Founders looked at the English model and patched the holes. No Classism: Removed "suitable to conditions." Rights are for everyone, poor or rich. No Religion: Removed "Protestants." Rights are for "The People." No Loopholes: Replaced "as allowed by law" with "Shall not be infringed." The Result: The English right was a permission slip from Parliament; the American right is a restriction on the Government. FACT CHECK & MYTH BUSTING Myth: "It was only for militias." Fact: Text says "subjects" (plural individuals) and "for their defence." Myth: "It shows regulation is normal." Fact: It shows that fighting regulation is traditional. The Bill was literally a response to excessive regulation by the King. Hidden Motive: The English elites wanted an armed populace to check the King, but not armed enough to check Parliament. The US Founders wanted the people to check everyone. IMPACT ON YOU (MODERN IMPACT) Supreme Court: In Heller and Bruen, the Court relies on this document to prove that individual gun ownership is an ancient Anglo-American tradition. Litigation: When states try to use "history" to ban guns, we use 1689 to show that disarming citizens is the act of a tyrant, not a legitimate government. Regulatory Creep: Expanding "sensitive places" and "permit requirements" is exactly how the UK used the "allowed by law" loophole to ban everything. We are fighting to keep the "American Upgrade" intact.   WLS is Lifestyle Savage - Doing a 3D printed build based on the Ruger 10/22.

If you think you've heard some wild shit from your quote-unquote radical friends then you better strap your ear pussies in for a ride. Upon hitting play you will be greeted by 5 cast members and while it will all seem normal for the first 15 seconds, you will soon find out that these dudes are cooler than your actual friends. Shawn, the head of the dick that is WLS, is always front and center, he runs the show and seemingly has seen it all and sometimes he gets drunk and that's when the real fun happens. Jeremy is likened to the shaft, keeps the cast together, is always the one to brag about his size and multiple times throughout the show he will uncontrollably engorge himself with rage. Aaron and Nick are both like the balls, Nick is the higher up one, closer to the head and friendly with the shaft. Seems to have lots of knowledge about the business but you would never know it. For the most part he is quiet and stays out of the way. But when he is needed, he generally has an answer. Aaron on the other hand, he is the lower one, he is the Ying to Nicks Yang, he always can't help himself with getting in the way, of easy conversation. And the rest of the cast always has fun at the expense of Aaron's well being. That being said these 5 guys will broaden your firearms and associated knowledge with true stories, industry news, first hand experience along with a lot of good laughs. Love the show guys. Keep it up. Oh shit, I forgot the 5th guy. Yeah then there's Savage1r. He's the taint.   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Sigger Jim - I would like to amend my previous review in which i compared the cast to spices. Shawn is Thyme because his hunting stories waste a lot of it. Nick is cream of tarter because hes a little 'tarded, but the good kind of 'tarded. Jeremy is white pepper because white pepper isnt black. Aaron is cumin because all the dudes that cum-in him. Savage is still flour, but unbleached flour this time.   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Craven Moorehead - ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ You know, I like having that A-aron character around. His childlike innocence……no……ignorance, brings out the knowledge from Jeremy (the one everyone seems to think is a cunt) and Nick. Sometimes they need to see what a complete neophyte…..no……buffoon would think about a subject, so that they can expound upon the minutiae. Otherwise they would just assume that everyone is privy to the information, and move on. I also enjoy the older fellow with the ptosis of the scrotum. His stories about spoons and hunting and bad decisions sure will put a fellow to sleep. I think that about covers everyone. In closing, I sure do enjoy the podcast. Enough that I renew my cult membership every time the older fellow screws up the billing.

On my second one and been carrying an Oscar Mike wallet for over 5 years. My question is was brc making the nylon goods in house or was someone making the soft foods for them to stamp a rhino onto? Have looked all across the interwebs trying to find a similar wallet to no avail. Even reached out to the customer support email from past brc orders with no reply. Maybe something Flatline Fiber Co. Could spool up and start making.? I can't be the only one who would run naked backwards thru a cornfield to get my hands on a few more Oscar Mike wallets. Thank you. Keep your powder dry. And shoot straight. #WLSISLIFE No notes Alex W - Just saying. When Shawn says Die Free Co. It sounds like hes saying "Die, freako!" Edward H - I need help deciding what to get I need a gun with a manuel saftey but I also want an external hammer with DA/SA ability, it to be in .45, and the ability to host a light and optic. Thanks Drew P - I want to get into long range shooting (1000+ yards)have my eye on a Ruger precision in 6.5 cm with a swamp fox scope, but it got me thinking what is the cheapest rifle and scope set up you could do? Could you get a set up for under $500? Lance D - You convinced to buy a chest rig from AceTac. Now, can we see your rigs and how you have them setup? Mine will be primarily used for larping/range use, and thought of using as kind of a “go bag” type setup. Thanks Scott G - Alright I I think the ace tac micro chest rig with the back pack is the closest to what I have been wanting for a day pack hunting/ hiking pack. It is missing 3 parts I think I can rig in to it but I'm looking for your advice as well. 1 I want to add a bino pouch to the chest rig , one of the set ups with a magnetic flip open top. 2 a holster for a G 19 x or G 17 my typical woods carry piece 3 water I am not a fan of bladders I like a Nalgene bottle. What does the cast think about those issues ? Nate D - Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like? Harry H - What are in your opinion the best magazine? Double stack pistol Single stack pistol Ppc/smg Ar15 Bolt action Maybe give brand/model name. I have always heard pmag for ar15 but is that m2 or m3.

Savage1r - Gideon Optics swag bag Gun Fights Step right up for "Gun Fights," the high-octane segment hosted by Nick Lynch, where our cast members go head-to-head in a game show-style showdown! Each contestant tries to prove their gun knowledge dominance. It's a wild ride of bids, bluffs, and banter—who will come out on top? Tune in to find out!   Agency Brief Agency171.com Dred Scott v. Sandford  "If Black people were citizens, they'd have the right to keep and carry arms wherever they went." That's not me talking. That's Chief Justice Roger Taney in 1857, explaining why the Supreme Court couldn't let Black Americans be citizens. Think about that. The Court admitted the Second Amendment was an individual right. They just didn't want certain people exercising it. So they ruled an entire race had zero constitutional rights. This is the story of how fear of an armed population led to the worst Supreme Court decision in history—and why it matters for every gun owner today. What's really on the line: Can the government decide who counts as "the people" with rights? If courts can strip rights from one group, who's next? Will slavery expand nationwide, or can it be contained? Does the Second Amendment mean individuals can bear arms, or just militias? Hidden stake: Southern states terrified of armed free Black people The entire future of constitutional rights—and the Union itself—hangs on one family's lawsuit. 1846: Dred and Harriet Scott sue for freedom in St. Louis Their owner took them to free territory (Illinois + Wisconsin) Missouri law = "once free, always free" Their real motivation: Keep their daughters from being sold away 1850: They win at trial. Declared free. 1852: Missouri Supreme Court reverses—protecting slavery politics over precedent 1856: Case hits U.S. Supreme Court Nation boiling over slavery and states' rights 7 of 9 justices appointed by pro-slavery presidents Initially planning narrow ruling—then they get greedy THE CONSPIRACY: President-elect Buchanan secretly contacts Justice Catron: "When will you rule?" Catron leaks insider info back Buchanan pressures Justice Grier: "Join the Southern majority" Grier caves March 4, 1857: Buchanan's inauguration—he promises the Court will "settle" everything He already knows the outcome March 6, 1857—THE BOMBSHELL: 80-year-old Chief Justice Taney delivers a 200-page ruling designed to end the debate forever: Black people can never be citizens—not even free Black people in Northern states They have "no rights which the white man was bound to respect" Congress can't restrict slavery anywhere—Missouri Compromise unconstitutional Here's the 2A moment: Taney writes that if Black people were citizens, they'd have the right "to keep and carry arms wherever they went." He uses this as proof they can't be citizens—the idea of armed Black Americans was too dangerous. What this reveals: The Court understood the 2A as an individual right, not just militia They feared an armed population—specifically armed Black Americans Gun control was a tool of racial oppression from day one They chose to strip citizenship rather than allow armed equality THE EXPLOSION: North erupts in fury Republicans see it as proof of "slave power conspiracy" (they're right) Abraham Lincoln rises: "What's next—making free states into slave states?" Four years later: Civil War begins 600,000 dead THE FIX: 13th Amendment (1865): Abolishes slavery 14th Amendment (1868): Overturns Dred Scott—declares all Americans are citizens This becomes the foundation for applying the Bill of Rights—including the 2A—to state governments THE 2A CONNECTION Why every gun rights advocate should know this case: ✓ SCOTUS explicitly tied citizenship to the right to bear arms—they admitted it was individual, not militia-based ✓ The Court's fear of armed citizens drove their decision—they'd rather strip citizenship than allow armed Black Americans ✓ Gun control as racial control—disarming populations has always been about power, not safety ✓ The 14th Amendment's purpose: Overturn Dred Scott and protect rights against state infringement ✓ McDonald v. Chicago (2010): Supreme Court incorporated 2A against states by citing the 14th Amendment's reversal of Dred Scott and how Southern states disarmed free Black people THE 14TH AMENDMENT - Ratified July 9, 1868—specifically to overturn Dred Scott Section 1 (the critical part): "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." What this did: ✅ Overturned Dred Scott — Declared ALL people born in the U.S. are citizens ✅ Protected rights against state infringement — States can't "abridge the privileges or immunities" of citizens ✅ Applied the Bill of Rights to states — Before this, only the federal government was bound by the Bill of Rights ✅ Made the 2A enforceable against states — This is why state gun bans can be challenged in federal court The 14th Amendment's Framers on the Right to Bear Arms: During congressional debates over the 14th Amendment, Republicans repeatedly cited Southern states disarming free Black people as a reason the amendment was necessary: Senator Jacob Howard said the amendment would protect "the personal rights guarantied and secured by the first eight amendments of the Constitution; such as...the right to keep and to bear arms" Congressmen cited "Black Codes" that banned Black Americans from owning firearms The amendment was designed to prevent states from doing what Dred Scott enabled: stripping constitutional rights based on race Modern Impact: McDonald v. Chicago (2010) — Supreme Court incorporates the Second Amendment against state and local governments Justice Alito's majority opinion: Cited the 14th Amendment as overturning Dred Scott Discussed how Southern states used gun control to oppress freed slaves after the Civil War Concluded the right to bear arms is a "fundamental right" protected by the 14th Amendment's guarantee that states can't abridge the "privileges or immunities" of citizens The direct line: Dred Scott says Black people aren't citizens and can't have rights (including arms) Civil War fought partly over this 14th Amendment passes to reverse Dred Scott and protect all citizens' rights 150+ years later, that same amendment is used to strike down state gun bans THE LESSON: The Constitution protects "the people"—not "some people." When courts decide rights don't apply to certain groups, nobody's rights are secure.

The Agency Brief The Militia Act of 1792: Federal Mandate for Private Firearm Ownership Five months after ratifying the Second Amendment (December 1791), the same Congress passed the Militia Acts in May 1792.   The Two Acts May 2, 1792 – Calling Forth Act -  Authorized the President to call the militia into federal service. May 8, 1792 – Uniform Militia Act - Mandated private armament and established uniform national standards (passed on the final day of the session).   Reason for Passage A direct response to St. Clair's Defeat (November 1791), the worst U.S. military loss of the era. Congress responded by: Expanding the professional army (the Legion of the United States) Requiring citizens to arm themselves as a ready reserve — ensuring the nation didn't rely on a large standing army many feared could threaten liberty   Who Was Enrolled “Each and every free able-bodied white male citizen” aged 18–45. Enrollment was automatic, with limited exemptions. Some states broadened eligibility.   Required Equipment (Section 1 — purchased and maintained at personal expense) Musket or firelock (military caliber, bayonet-capable) or rifle Bayonet and belt Knapsack, pouch, two spare flints Cartridge box with ≥24 cartridges (or ≥20 balls for rifles) Officers: additional privately purchased items (pistols, swords, fusils, etc.) Failure to appear properly equipped at muster resulted in fines enforced by militia courts-martial. These weapons had to be military-standard and fit for immediate service, not hunting or sporting pieces.   Meaning of “Well Regulated Militia” in 1792 To the Founding generation: Equipped with military-standard arms Organized and trained at regular musters Inspected and ready for immediate use

Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show!   - Dear WLS Dragon Arcadia - In WLS Episode 617, Dungeon Daddies, at 38 min 41 sec on Rumble, Aaron begins talking about how much he hated the steel-frame Canik because it was too heavy. “It literally weighed over 10.17 pounds.” Shawn says that it weighs just under 3 pounds, so about the same as a 2011. Aaron says there's no way, and he's going to look up the weights to prove himself right. Shawn moves on and says they'll get back to that after Aaron looks it up, but it never gets brought up again. I have an unrelated question for Aaron. How much does a steel-frame Canik weigh compared to a Staccato? Thanks guys! P.S. While looking through Rumble to find the episode, I kept getting ads for the ROTO 12 Compact Shotgun. Please look it up; I really want to see your reactions to this thing. Shane H - I am a 07/02 FFL - Aero Precision used to be my go-to place for budget friendly parts with good quality. However, over the past year they have been impossible to deal with. They have made some changes and it's like I have to beg them to take my money. They also never answer emails or calls... Who would you recommend for AR-15 parts? Mainly looking for Uppers, Lowers, and Handguards... Thanks in advance Ray G - What's up bitches. What are your opinions on the Foxtrot Mike “Mike 45”? I have a Mat9 currently for a PCC and I love it! So I figured if I have a 9mm I better get a 45 so it has a friend. I know they are currently out of stock at the time of writing this but wanted to get a feel on what you guys thought. If you suggested the Mike45, what barrel length? Suppressor? Or I should go a different route totally. Thanks for answering my question. P.S. Fuck Aaron Duran84 - I want to get into thermals, My budget is 2k. I have a Rix tourer night vision that sparked my interest in night hunting. My only complaint is scanning with the optic on the gun is tiresome. Should I get a monocular or a scope, so it could be dual purpose with a QD mount? What are some recommendations that the crew has thanks.   Standard Arms - Show is great. Thank you for serving our community. I am small kitchen table FFL. It's been a great ride, with a healthy dose of fear! I am thinking about a laser engraver. I would want to it to be capable of properly marking firearms if I need to. ( the ATF spec of .003 inch depth I believe). If I'm investing in a laser engraver I'd use it to put my logo on stuff like magazines, key chains etc. This would probably be something that I would look at in a year and wonder why the F did I buy this thing. That being said I'd really like to spend as little as possible. Thanks. Zac C - A- Aron, My gun shop shouldn't charge for transfers Shawn, Aaron, your being retardedAlso Shawn, This company that came up with a great idea to put airline policies on a QR code and sell them for $30 should do it for free cause it's a sErViCe tO ThE CoMmunITy That is all. ARDREW479 Your Mom - Let's talk about pistol recoil springs and how they impact reliability. I recently added a Radian Afterburner + Ramjet to my Glock 19X and also swapped in the Radian Compressor adjustable guide rod. The Compressor includes 13, 15, and 18lbs springs. I started with the 18lbs spring and it functions properly with both 115 and 124s. Would swapping to the lighter weight spring provide any value? Is it better to stick with the heavy spring? Thoughts? Dependable Don - I was relistening to crawler Carl and heard the ai mention hucow fiction. I looked it up and I'm scared. What are your opinions on hucow?   The winner of this week's swag pack is Ray G!

Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! Agency 171 Jeremy - Future operatives, tonight, We speak to you from the hidden vaults of a legacy long whispered but never fully revealed. For years, our loyal listeners have stood with us in what we called "the cult," a bond forged in fire and fun. But the time has come to shed that skin and ascend to something deeper, something etched in the crimson ink of history. Nick - Welcome to Agency 171, a clandestine brotherhood born in the aftermath of our nation's founding, dedicated to the unyielding defense of liberty against those who seek to divide and disarm. No more mere cultists; you are now Operatives, rising through the ranks from Recruit to Director in the Covert Conclave. Your pledge isn't just support—it's an oath, unlocking exclusive intel, relics like the Loyalty Coin, and the power to strike back at tyranny. Savage - The old cult is nullified. Agency 171 is the future, step into the shadows. The Mandate watches, but we endure. Isn't it interesting how much the number 171 comes up in daily life? You'll see it everywhere—a sign, a call, your destiny. Lock and load, Operatives. The Agency awaits. Shawn - This is our new listener support program. Everyone who is a cult member will be migrated automatically tomorrow morning. You don't need to do anything except check your email (check spam). You'll get an email with details and you can take a look at the rewards and upgrade if you'd like. Way more rewards, way more fun and has so much more coming. There is even a game with all the cast and YOU as the main character. There will be missions (describe missions) with prizes as well. I have big plans for this and can't wait for what's to come.  After this week, after giving everyone a chance to upgrade, I'm giving away a gun to a random operative. I have many to get rid of and the Agency is where it'll be happening.   Agency 171 is a fictional secret society created as a fun rebrand for the "We Like Shooting" podcast's listener support model. In the lore, it's a clandestine organization founded in the early 1800s (post-1789) to defend absolute 2A rights against the Mandate for Divisive Action (MDA), a made-up deep-state cabal that promotes gun control. Listeners "join" as Operatives through monthly pledges (from Recruit at $5 to Director at $60+), unlocking exclusive perks like bonus content, merch (e.g., stickers, coins), and community access in the Vault. It's all for entertainment—support the show, get in on the mystery, and fight "tyranny" with humor and gear.   Dear WLS Spenser F - Looking to get a century arms mp5sd. Wondering what can you guys would recommend that would fit under the 1.5" handguard and still be super quiet? I was going to go with the bowers vers 9 but it's diameter is 1.7. Thanks Lenny W - You guys ever think about doing a section about what's new in 3D prints in the gun world every week? Alex W - Hey y'all. I've heard a lot of stories about fish and game cops trying to jail people over defensive wildlife shootings. I was wondering if that was something 2nd call defense would help with or if they only deal with cases involving human assailants? NightWasher513 Tx - Let me first say that finding this page without manually typing in the words “dashboard “. And if you look at the transcript to get the right link on Double Tap 425 it says the link is wedelikeshooting.comdashboard. Yeah that doesn't exactly work. But anyway, my two part question is. If you 3rd print a MAC 11 and design your own pistol brace, could the ATF say that's a stock not a brace? And could you even SBR your own custom built rifle? Last question,

Agency 171 Jeremy - Future operatives, tonight, We speak to you from the hidden vaults of a legacy long whispered but never fully revealed. For years, our loyal listeners have stood with us in what we called "the cult," a bond forged in fire and fun. But the time has come to shed that skin and ascend to something deeper, something etched in the crimson ink of history. Nick - Welcome to Agency 171, a clandestine brotherhood born in the aftermath of our nation's founding, dedicated to the unyielding defense of liberty against those who seek to divide and disarm. No more mere cultists; you are now Operatives, rising through the ranks from Recruit to Director in the Covert Conclave. Your pledge isn't just support—it's an oath, unlocking exclusive intel, relics like the Loyalty Coin, and the power to strike back at tyranny. Savage - The old cult is nullified. Agency 171 is the future, step into the shadows. The Mandate watches, but we endure. Isn't it interesting how much the number 171 comes up in daily life? You'll see it everywhere—a sign, a call, your destiny. Lock and load, Operatives. The Agency awaits. Shawn - This is our new listener support program. Everyone who is a cult member will be migrated automatically tomorrow morning. You don't need to do anything except check your email (check spam). You'll get an email with details and you can take a look at the rewards and upgrade if you'd like. Way more rewards, way more fun and has so much more coming. There is even a game with all the cast and YOU as the main character. There will be missions (describe missions) with prizes as well. I have big plans for this and can't wait for what's to come.  After this week, after giving everyone a chance to upgrade, I'm giving away a gun to a random operative. I have many to get rid of and the Agency is where it'll be happening.   Agency 171 is a fictional secret society created as a fun rebrand for the "We Like Shooting" podcast's listener support model. In the lore, it's a clandestine organization founded in the early 1800s (post-1789) to defend absolute 2A rights against the Mandate for Divisive Action (MDA), a made-up deep-state cabal that promotes gun control. Listeners "join" as Operatives through monthly pledges (from Recruit at $5 to Director at $60+), unlocking exclusive perks like bonus content, merch (e.g., stickers, coins), and community access in the Vault. It's all for entertainment—support the show, get in on the mystery, and fight "tyranny" with humor and gear.   Dear WLS Spenser F - Looking to get a century arms mp5sd. Wondering what can you guys would recommend that would fit under the 1.5" handguard and still be super quiet? I was going to go with the bowers vers 9 but it's diameter is 1.7. Thanks     Lenny W - You guys ever think about doing a section about what's new in 3D prints in the gun world every week?     Alex W - Hey y'all. I've heard a lot of stories about fish and game cops trying to jail people over defensive wildlife shootings. I was wondering if that was something 2nd call defense would help with or if they only deal with cases involving human assailants?     NightWasher513 Tx - Let me first say that finding this page without manually typing in the words “dashboard “. And if you look at the transcript to get the right link on Double Tap 425 it says the link is wedelikeshooting.comdashboard. Yeah that doesn't exactly work. But anyway, my two part question is. If you 3rd print a MAC 11 and design your own pistol brace, could the ATF say that's a stock not a brace? And could you even SBR your own custom built rifle?

Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! Krampus- http://welikeshooting.com/krampus   - Dear WLS David K - Shot tons of guns and suppressors on multiple platforms, but a buddy recently picked up an FN 509 and said it was a good host. So, what makes a gun a "good suppressor host"? whoever readsthisisgay - Why won't Xtech ship their freedom extensions to mag-restricted states? I travel outside my home state regularly to shoot and want to be able to swap out my spring/baseplate when I go to free states. Also, it's a spring and baseplate, not a magazine; there are no laws restricting them, and if someone wants to disobey unjust laws in an act of civil disobedience, that's on them. Nick's OtherLover - "Im looking at suppressors. Im not a db hoe, I just want it to tame the noise a bit. My biggest concerns are flash mitigation and small size. Before you say shit about earpro, I keep my Sordins on so I can talk shit to my friends over radio. Some notes." Spenser F - Now that new frontier armory is out of business. Is there another company that makes mp5 mag lowers for the ar9? Sour Nut - If a wood chuck could chuck wood, would they pick a red dot to put on a revolver? If so, what red dot would it be? I bought a S&W TRR8 need to put a dot on it for maximum fuckaround points, also actually deer hunting with it. No Notes Carpet Beaver - I would like to practice some dry firing. I'm looking at the dry fire mag and Mantis system. Have you tried these two together. P365XL. I know you guys have ran the Mantis system before and wondered if it works in conduction with the dry fire mag. Preferably a trigger resetting system that works with a laser target system. Any info would help. Thanks Zack K - "What is your most hated gun and why? I'll start the walther PK380. It has a shit take down where you need a “key”, low capacity for the size, safety only with no decocker, and very limited aftermarket." Lieutenant Ovbious - Let's be real, the best part about the tax stamp going to zero is that the used market on suppressors is going to go crazy. Gimme dem $80 used 22LR cans that just need a good cleaning. This is not a question.   The winner of this week's swag pack is Sour Nut!

Double Tap Episode 433   This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Midwest Industries, Gideon Optics, Die Free Co., RMA Defense, Bowers Group, Mitchell Defense, and Rost Martin   Welcome to Double Tap, episode 433! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show!   Krampus- http://welikeshooting.com/krampus - Dear WLS   Nick F - you can replace your laugh or a cast members laugh with any animal sound. who and what sound are you choosing?   Pete O. Eraser - This question is for Jeremy, since I don't value any of you faggots' opinions. If you could only have five blades to deal with TEOTWAWKI, what would you choose? I'd do a puuko knife for fine details, a full tang Ka-Bar for a steak knife and general knife work, a kukri made from a leaf spring from a truck for silent offensive use, a cheap machete for clearing brush and general hacking and slicing of communists, and a tomahawk-style hand axe for larger branches and grappling   Ethan - Do any of your 3d printer nerds know where I can find an STL for a lower that takes scorpion mags? MP5 mag lower works too.PS Jeremy is a cunt, but the good kind.   HugMuffin Actual - Dear Esteemed Gentlemen. I'm currently re-welding a Skorpion VZ 61 parts kit, and this is my first exposure to this ancient yet adorable .32 ACP cartridge. Do you see modern-day firearm manufacturers rediscovering and embracing this underused cartridge? Does it have potential in micro-compact pistols, suppressors, and for limp-wristed nancy-boys like me? Cheers, and extra-special hugs for you all! HugMuffin. NO NOTES   Ryan H - I have a 320 in a Strike Industries chassis. It has the strike industry folding brace. Their brace is a blade style. I am using a section of a bike inner tube as a large rubber band to hold Allen wrenches and an extra battery on that brace. The rubber band completely wraps around the brace blade, which could be considered “padding”? Do you think this is breaking the law and turning it into a shoulder-able stock? P.S. I put a Gideon Alpha on it and am very pleased. Thanks for the recommendation.   Kermit Thee Frog - Just wanted to follow up on my previous question about the Warhawk 3-15. A couple weeks before you guys got to my message I stumbled on an Athlon Helos BTR Gen2 4-20 for just over 500 doll hairs. It has locking turrets and zero stop while also decent weight for its class. I've been able to use it to shoot out to 900, 1100 and a 16x16 plate at 1300 yards with a 20” 6.5 Grendel AR. I'm really impressed with the glass quality and eye relief. The turrets also feel really good. The image gets a little dark at 20x as well as tight exit pupil but I don't think it's really that bad at all for this price point. I've been shooting the 16x16 plate at 1300 on 16x and can clearly see my hits without any purple fringing or other clarity issues. For the price of this optic I would highly recommend it.Also I have to say the Grendel has really surprised me. I was planning on switching out to 6 ARC but so far the Grendel has surpassed my expectations for what I use this rifle for."   Fuhh Q Shawn - Are there any companies that make a fixed stock, like Magpul, that fit over a standard carbine buffer tube?   Randy Randy - I got a rost martin rm1c. The manual mentions MOS but when I emailed rost martin they said I had to use a plate since theirs is special. But I thought I heard one of you say you directly mounted the MOS gideon. So did I mishear or do I need to use the rmr plate? The winner of this week's swag pack is HugMuffin Actual! To win your own, go to welikeshooting.com/dashboard and submit a question!

These versions feature innovative magazine setups and modern adaptations of historical designs, reflecting Swiss craftsmanship and modularity. The developments may impact collectors and shooters interested in the evolution of subguns.   Jeremy- Resound Tinnitus Relief App   Bullet Points   Shawn - Revolutionizing Handguns: The Glock V Emerges   Glock is relaunching its pistol lineup with the introduction of the Glock V Series before the end of 2025, amid new California legislation banning the sale of new Glock models starting July 2026. This move aims to address concerns over illegal modifications, particularly "switches" that convert Glocks to full-auto, and may impact the existing gun community's perception of Glock's commitment to firearms reliability and innovation. Some enthusiasts express frustration, viewing the changes as a concession to anti-gun legislation.   Shawn - 5.11 Collaborates with EA for Battlefield 6 Release   5.11 has partnered with EA to enhance the gaming experience of Battlefield 6 by integrating its authentic, purpose-built gear into the game. This collaboration aims to provide players with a more immersive experience and includes upcoming in-game cosmetics and merchandise, reflecting the brand's emphasis on functionality and durability.   Shawn - Springfield Armory California Legal Echelon Models Now Available   Springfield Armory has begun shipping California legal Echelon handgun models, including the 4.0C and 4.5F, which comply with state regulations. This development allows California residents to access a wider range of compliant handguns, which may positively impact the local gun community by offering more options that meet state restrictions.   Gun Fights Step right up for "Gun Fights," the high-octane segment hosted by Nick Lynch, where our cast members go head-to-head in a game show-style showdown!

ATF has overturned previous regulations, reinforcing the privacy rights of Second Amendment supporters. This decision is a setback for gun control advocates seeking greater oversight and tracking of gun owners, while bolstering the argument for individual rights in the gun community. NSSF Hits Back: Bloomberg's Hit Piece Exposed as Anti-Gun Nonsense The NSSF is rebutting claims made by Bloomberg's The Trace, defending the firearms industry against what they perceive as unfounded attacks. This ongoing clash reflects the tension between gun advocates and those promoting tighter gun control, further polarizing discussions around firearm regulations. Supreme Court to Decide if You Can Pack Heat While High The Supreme Court is set to evaluate the intersection of gun rights with drug use regulations, a move that could reshape existing laws surrounding firearm ownership for those using substances deemed illegal. This case may challenge gun control advocates and further solidify the Second Amendment's stance against restrictions tied to drug use, potentially emboldening gun owners and the broader pro-gun community. When Anti-Gun Advocates Finally See the Light In a surprising twist, Don Lemon has called on Black Americans to arm themselves in response to concerns about ICE. This statement may resonate within the gun community, emphasizing individual rights and self-defense, while also stirring the pot among gun control advocates who typically oppose such rhetoric. CCRKBA Calls Out Newsom for His Glock Grabbing Shenanigans The CCRKBA criticizes Governor Newsom for his proposed ban on Glock handguns, arguing it infringes on Second Amendment rights. This move is seen as part of a broader trend of gun control measures that the organization believes alienates responsible gun owners and threatens individual freedoms. https://soldiersystems.net/2025/10/17/sig-sauer-responds-to-new-jersey-attorney-generals-latest-attack-on-firearms-industry/ https://www.theoutdoorwire.com/releases/1c87bd3e-f7cd-4a3d-8d7d-fc64795eb0bb https://www.

The recoil is a bit excessive for 5.56. I understand that is going to be a thing with a shorty, but I'm sure there are ways to mitigate it somewhat. I have a no-name linear comp that is ok until I pick up a suppressor, but am open to suggestions for muzzle devices. I also think an adjustable gas block would be a good start. Any suggestions on the best for the money? What else should I look for to break the spirit on this little blaster? Thanks Zac C - Hey guys, just started looking for my son's first deer rifle for his 13th birthday. I'd like to stay around 600 or less not including optic. Figured I couldn't go wrong with a .243 youth rifle with a 3x9 or a 4-12 scope. What rifle would y'all suggest? Thanks! Shoot straight! Notes- Hi Dan. Y'all Cunts - What's up gents. I'm planning on buying a GIRSAN INFLUENCER X in the near future. I've heard nothing but good things from a few guys I know the have them. My question is the valor mini to small for it and what light would you guys recommend? I'll probably already have it fully decked out by the time you read this but keep on keeping on. Miss Ogynist - My Dishwasher is broke. Should I replace or just write her a check? Joe E - Just listening to DoubleTap 423 and I swear to Christ Jeremy is trolling me personally at this point. I'm also a Marine that was in Horno 05-07 and was stationed in Ft Leonnardwood from 00-01. Big Louies was the greatest stripe club ever, bring your own bucket of beer! Sucks that they got shut down. I don't remember Jeremy but feel I would if I had seen his giant ass walking around. I'm a POG (5711) so not crossing paths is not shocking, but Horno is a small as camp and the Marine Det on Leonardwood is tiny as well, so maybe just missed him. Jeremy do you remember the taxi driver with the gimpy arm that kept his glove boxes full of porno's? Can't remember his name wonder if he was still around. Did you end up in the old ass white squad bays while you were in MAT Platoon? Follow up to the suppressor move question that you all answered for me. Having to move back to a completely none friendly state, I am leaving them with inlaws in a safe they have no access too. I will have an ID for the friendly state, but my drivers license and residency will be in the none friendly state. Will that stop me from continuing to purchases NFA items, or I am able to purchase them in the friendly state with my ID and leave them there?"

Double Tap Episode 431 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Gideon Optics, Night Fision, Medical Gear Outfitters, Blue Alpha, and Bowers Group   Welcome to Double Tap, episode 431! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! -Pew.Deals -Krampus!   Dear WLS OutLore:  So... apart from Jeremy who doesn't use an optic on his EDC because we all know he's a manly hero man that don't need nothing more than iron sights.   What optics do y'all run on your EDC guns? Not just "Swampfox" or "Gideon" just because they're sponsors.. if you're running a Trij or Vortex or Holosun or some other chinese crap or whatever, say so.   Second to this, if the first question wasn't enough... what do you actually have in your rotation? For me it's Shield Plus, or M&P2.0 Fullsize depending on dress/weather. (That's how I'm dressed according to the weather, not whether I'm dressed at all, because if I'm naked then it's a Mossberg 590A1 and a Bodyguard in my prison pocket.)   Jassnibbler:  22 cans. Rugged oculus vs bitty. ?   I Need A Cool Name:  Heritage rough rider (or similar, cheap .22 revolver), send out for barrel to be threaded, add suppressor. Yay or gay? Would that work and be quiet? How about drill and tap for red dot mount?   Karl F:  Hey guys, love the show, keep it up. There are many semiautomatic handguns that don't have manual safeties and personally I prefer them that way. I realized, however, that we rarely see semiautomatic rifles that lack manual safeties. Is there a reason for this, or perhaps am I just ignorant of their existence? Thanks #blamecanada   Zac C:  I have had this question on my mind for sometime, and it recently came back to me during your recent show with Night Fision.   Why is it that so many gun companies and gun accessory companies reside in non gun friendly states?   I can somewhat understand the older company's like Remington and Ruger, and until recently Smith and Wesson, as I assume they were there before the state went stupid. But why are companies like Night Fision starting up companies in states that don't support what they do. I know it easy for me to say move, but I wouldn't want to have my company in a state that is actively trying to shut down the very thing that puts food on my table. So why are companies in very well known non gun friendly states.   Tom P:  I am moving and I sold my gun safe. I am looking to get something like secureit gunstorage. Basically cabinets that are full strength but not fireproof. Im no poor, but I have a larger collection so I am hoping I can find something a little more affordable. Stack-On seem like trash, and secureit is the top end. Is there nothing in the middle? Have you seen or used anything else? I am currently using surplus weapons cabinet from the army - but they only fit shorter guns.   I appreciate the time, -Tom   Naught Gape Horn:  What size suppressor would you use for a Remington 700 chambered in .22-250?   The winner of this week's swag pack is Tom P!

Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! - Dear WLS Thomas L - What training class/instructor would you like to take in 2026? Kaleb K - What are the cast members' opinions of revolvers chambered in traditionally semi-auto calibers? IE 9mm/45 ACP/10mm Is there a practical or tactical use case, or should they only be considered as a novelty? Dustin S - Looking to buy my first carry pistol. Want a full-size, any recommendations? Thinking about a Canik TP9, do they last, and are they reliable? Mike L - Looking to purchase a matching lever action and wheel gun in .357 to commemorate a family member. They won't be safe queens, the lever will probably see regular use during deer season as most zones near me are shotgun or straight wall cartridge only. Should it be- Henry Big Boy/Roscoe Marlin 1894/Ruger SP101 S&W 1854/ Model 19 or 640 pro As you might imagine, trying before I buy isn't much of an option. I'm leaning S&W because that's my go-to. My second choice would likely be the Ruger built option, because I'm from NH. Jeremy, STFU about the 454 Casul Aaron, you just generally STFU. Thanks, Mike whoever readsthisisgay - I was thinking of picking up a p365 but was hearing about issues of the trigger reset spring failing and causing the gun to go dead. Have you guys ever experienced this, or have a solution if it is a problem? I like the gun for its concealability but if the trigger doesn't reset, it's about as useful as a uvula in an anus. Duke of Crude - Is shrt qstn ur fav?

When ordered, the item was instock and there was no indication of long wait times or delayed shipping.P.S. I'm behind on episodes thanks to the Monster Hunter books, I'm on book 7 now. Ryan K - Got any opinions on the S&W FPC? Jeremy SFMF AndyMan NoCan - Hello Sir's and Madam(Aaron) Thank you for the weekly entertainment. Awesome show.

What's the most economic way to keep them in good condition for about 20 years? I have some standard food safe grade plastic barrels. Should I just add guns and motor oil? Thanks for the insight. JD - After the first of the year what are we going to have to do to register an ar pistol as a sbr do we have to go to a ffl? Shane H - I know it was talked about a while ago but I can't find the episode. Who do you recommend for firearm collection insurance? One that does not require serial numbers if possible.

Trucker Matt - If you had to pick the perfect "backpack gun" and concealable handgun combo that uses the same ammunition, what is each cast member's combo of choice? For example, a 9mm HK SP5K and Glock 19, an AR pistol in .22LR with a folding buffer and FN 502, a Diamondback DBX 5.7 and FN Five-Seven (bonus points for magazine compatibility), a Chiappa 1892 Alaskan Takedown in .357 Magnum, and Ruger SP101.

Multiple questions. I'd apologize for it, but you guys are like the Dr. Ruth of the gun world, minus the sex advice, thank god.  It's my understanding from listening over the years that possession of both full auto M16/M4 lower parts kit with the auto sear and M16-cut lower receivers is fully legal as long as the dreaded third hole is not drilled in the lowers. Do you guys know which manufacturers sell lowers with the M16-cut instead of the high shelf? Just curious (not bi-curious, A-Aron) for reasons... Jeremy, do the RET4RD lowers have the M-16 cut, and if so, do you have any left available?  I have a 6.5 Creedmoor AR10 that I pieced together using Aero M5 lower, upper and handguard, Spikes BCG and Criterion 18inch barrel. I have a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 first focal plane scope that I want to mount on it. I know it's not an ideal scope, but I got it for free. Can you recommend a good 30mm tube mount or rings that won't break the bank, preferably 20 MOA for longer range.  Salma Hayek, Dame Helen Mirren, Jane Seymour (of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman and Wedding Crashers fame). Fuck one, marry one, kill one. Discuss. Keep up the great work guys. The WLS shows are the highlight of my week. Pecker McPeckerson - If you had to start your journey into the gun cumunity over, How, in 2025, would you get into the industry? a gun store, a range, a podcast, etc.You cannot use any contacts you already have from the gun community. You are starting from scratch with just the guns you have purchased and basic knowledge of firearms. Ny(e)gerski - You guys talk down alot about shadow systems, but I'd like to be a bit contrarian. When I bought mine, I was looking for something g19 sized, reliable, safe, and a bit upgraded. I considered building one on a p80 or a faxon frame...but then I saw the cr920 elite. Metal mags, upgraded trigger, grip texture, optic cut, etc. All for 750 bucks. I'll admit they have gone up in price more than they should (i.e. kanik) and their marketing department with the wording....really guys.... my question is, have you guys looked at their optic cut? It's pretty neat, fits most all of the different cuts without plates. It uses little spacers that you have to shoehorn the optic in where the screws have almost no pressure on them. Maybe it would be a good option to license to other manufacturers? Ps. as a fuel driver in the Midwest, there are pretty much 2 grades of fuel...subgrade which is around 84 octane, and premium which is 91. Those 2 fuels get either blended together, blended with ethanol, or both to create all the different fuels you get at the station. 84 with 10% ethanol gets you to 87octane. 84 with 15% ethanol gets you 88octane. 84 with a little 91 gets you 87 with 0 ethanol...etc. we were hoping to see you guys at goals, but had to change our vacation days from an adoption finally having an end date right after, hope you guys had a blast! Shaak&Awe - Curious! Can I use a crush washer on a direct tread suppressor? Mark B - Im looking to get a Ruger 10/22 and plan to put a scope on it, probably an old 2.5-10 Tasco I have laying around. I like the look of the heavy 16” barrel, like on model 31197. Is the bull barrel of any practical use on a 22? I do plan to do some off hand shooting, but most will be from a bipod or front bag. Ruger makes a lite model that gives the look of the heavy barrel but is much less weight, however it costs significantly more. I have no plans to compete with this, just a fun shooter.

This incident may stir further debate around gun control measures, impacting the gun community's stance on rights and regulations. When Logic Takes a Backseat: Gun Control Advocates Aim for Your Rights Gun rights groups have expressed strong opposition to a recent ban on firearm possession for transgender individuals, labeling it as unconstitutional. This backlash highlights the ongoing tensions between gun control advocates and the gun community, with proponents of the Second Amendment arguing that such measures infringe on personal rights and freedoms. Democrats Aim to Disarm Campus Safety Wisconsin Democrats are pushing to eliminate campus carry laws, aiming to restrict students from carrying firearms for self-defense. This move has ignited strong opposition from gun rights advocates, who view it as an infringement on Second Amendment rights and a step away from personal safety on college campuses. The gun community sees this as another attempt by lawmakers to undermine their freedoms. Illinois: Where Gun Control Fails and Criminals Thrive A recent ATF report reveals that most guns recovered from crimes in Illinois originated from within the state, challenging the narrative that guns are primarily trafficked from outside sources. This data points to issues within local regulations and enforcement rather than supporting gun control measures aimed at addressing crime. As the gun community scrutinizes these findings, it highlights the argument for protecting Second Amendment rights and questions the effectiveness of strict gun control in curbing violence.

One of the last places I went to was a large liquid natural gas terminal on the gulf coast. Outsiders were not allowed to bring firearms onto the property which was bullshit, but they also had armed security through the facility as this place was regulated by homeland security and the department of energy. I didn't get to talk with those security people or get a good look at what they were carrying, but what do you think would be the best caliber and ammo for that scenario? Most all surrounding environment contains explosive and/or flammable liquid, but you do have a very real threat of terrorism there as well. Thought this might be a fun thought experiment or discussion. When I go back, I'll compare with what ya ll come up with and report back. Also, did everyone win the dead pool this week? Ozzy, hulk hogan, and %Chuck mangione all in one swoop. Thanks! Duke   Alex W - Hey y'all. I'm considering buying a 45 acp handgun for woods carry and as something fun and slightly less expensive to shoot than my 10mm. I think i want a metal frame hammer gun just as a change from all my striker pistols. But, I don't want a manual safety as I'm not used to carrying with a safety and don't want to forget to turn it off if I really need the gun. The sig p220 seems like the obvious choice. But I would like something with a higher capacity than 8 rounds. As far as I can tell, the p227 and the cz97 would have fit what I'm looking for perfectly but have both been discontinued. Can you suggest any quality guns similar to those two that im forgetting about? Thanks. Keep up the great work. Steve B - I recently won a Springfield Prodigy 3.5", it's my first 2011 style pistol. From what I understand the first run of Prodigy's had problems but supposedly the kinks were worked out by now. I already have a number of carry options including a cajunized CZ P-01 and a P365xl. So the size and weight doesn't bother me much, my question is what would you do with it? It isn't drop safe, but that isn't a huge factor, with a 3.5" barrel it isn't prime for competition. Would you carry it if it's reliable or trade it in on something else? Ian C - Esteemed Leaders of the Cult, As the fervent heat of summer begins to fade and the gentle, crisp breath of autumn approaches, so too does the time of the noble pursuit—the great hunt for the majestic white-tailed deer. In the realm in which I dwell, the sovereign's wardens—those gallant stewards in green jeans—have most graciously bestowed upon us the privilege of employing straight-walled cartridges in this venerable endeavor. To that end, I humbly seek your esteemed counsel. Of the following three arms, which would you deem most worthy for the task of felling such a noble creature? • The venerable .45-70 Government (lever-action) • The stout-hearted .44 Magnum (lever-action) • Or the nimble .357 Magnum Contender (single-shot) Moreover, in your seasoned judgment, would you favor jacketed hollow points or full metal jacket rounds for such a purpose? It bears noting that the land is largely suburban in character, though there remain several verdant clearings where hunting is sanctioned. However, due to environmental constraints, engagement distances exceeding 50 yards are unlikely. I remain ever grateful for your wisdom, and trust that your response shall arrive in time for the commencement of the great hunt. With the highest regards and sincerest thanks, Your devoted servant in arms.

Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! pew.deals - Dear WLS plowguydave - So I have a Browning X Bolt in .300wm. I had it threaded a few years ago but since the barrel profile is so thin, it's threaded 1/2x28. Most 30 cal cans are threaded 5/8x24 so I'd have to run a thread adapter for a can. Would you a) use a thread adapter and affix it in a permanent/semi-permanent fashion, b) purchase a 30 cal can able to accept a 1/2x28 thread pattern, or c) get an aftermarket barrel with a heavier profile that is cut for 5/8x24? Use case is long range plinking and hunting. Barrel length is 24" if that matters. If it doesn't, then fuck me I guess.  Kermit Thee Frog - "I'm looking at upgrading the scope on my 6.5 Grendel that I primarily used for blacktail hunting, but i'm recently getting into more mid and long range shooting at 300-1100 yards so far with it and thinking about trying out the Swampfox Warhawk 3-15. C_DOES on YouTube did a really good review of the 2-10 variant but I haven't been able to find much information on the 3-15. I'm concerned that the glass quality may be good enough for 10x but falls apart when pushed to 15x. Have any of you had any hands on experience with this optic and what are your thoughts on it? I'm also looking at the Athlon Ares BTR gen 3 but leaning more towards the Swampfox because of the price and it has locking turrets. Thanks gents." Jack B - As I'm sure you guys are aware, the Earth's magnetic poles are about to shift and it will cause cataclysmic floods and tectonic shifts. Most experts expect the landmasses to liquefy and move everything to the opposite side of the world in a matter of hours. My question for you is, what's your loadout for this event? What will be the best gun to use to shoot the magnetic poles and liquified earth to keep your self and your loved ones safe? Or, if it doesn't work, what gun will make me look coolest to the archeologists who dig me up in 20,000 years. Nicholas J - "Hey guys, first off love the show! One of the very few podcast I actually get excited to listen too. Second, I've been having an ejection issue with my AR where when fired the bolt will stay in the forward position and it's almost like the round is stuck in the chamber, even an unfired round and a dummy round get stuck to the point I have to take a punch hammer to the charging handle to get it out. What are your thoughts? Again love the show and love what yawl do!" Bradley C - Dear WLS With the recent abatement of the NFA tax, and the further conversation surrounding the complete repeal of the NFA, have any 2A space influencers considered the implication of a full repeal, nation wide? As much as many of us in the 2A sphere hoped for it's demise in the BBB, the State level consequences could be detrimental. Let me explain: In the State of Oregon, and I believe there are twelve other States, with the full repeal of the NFA Federally, it would cost us the ability to own, possess, or purchase NFA items. As, at least here in Oregon, they are only able to be in existence, because the NFA is a de facto registry. At this time, Oregon does not have its own requirement to register firearms, but with the implementation of Measure 114 (still tied up in the courts) and the QUEEN Governor having just signed SB 243, the noose is tightening around the firearms owner's neck. Anyway, it is my belief, that the tax was dropped to zero dollars and the NFA maintained to allow these 13 +/- States the ability to keep those NFA items, as ATF maintains their de facto registry. I'm really interested your thoughts and insights on this. Yes Jeremy, I agree with you,

Aaron's Alley Going Ballistic Hawaii's Gun Laws: Aiming for Freedom, Not Chains The Second Amendment Foundation is challenging Hawaii's stringent gun purchase laws, arguing they infringe on constitutional rights. This legal action could significantly impact the gun community in Hawaii by potentially opening the door for less restrictive regulations and greater access to firearms. Gun rights advocates see this as a step against mounting efforts by gun control proponents to limit access to firearms. Supreme Court to Debate Pennsylvania's Silly Under-21 Carry Ban: A Step Towards Common Sense or Another Misfire? The Supreme Court is set to review a case regarding Pennsylvania's ban on concealed carry permits for individuals under 21, which could impact the rights of young gun owners. If the Court rules against the ban, it may bolster the Second Amendment rights for younger citizens, much to the chagrin of gun control advocates who prefer stricter regulations. Tim Walz's Latest Gun Control Circus: Here We Go Again! Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is considering an emergency legislative session to address gun control measures following recent events. The proposal could impact gun rights within the state, igniting further debates and mobilizing the gun community in opposition to increased restrictions. Ilhan Omar's Uninformed Crusade Against 'Assault Weapons' In light of Ilhan Omar's recent comments advocating for the elimination of "assault weapons," the gun community is likely to face increased scrutiny and calls for stricter regulations. This push highlights ongoing tensions between gun rights advocates and those seeking to limit firearm availability, further fueling the debate over the Second Amendment. Massie's Bold Move: Kicking the Anti-Gun Lobby Out of Schools Thomas Massie has introduced a bill aimed at repealing the Gun-Free School Zones Act. This move is likely to energize pro-Second Amendment advocates who argue that such zones do not enhance safety and may instead leave schools vulnerable to armed attacks. The introduction of this bill may lead to intensified debates within the gun community and among gun control advocates as they grapple with the implications for school safety. Reviews ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Zachary - 10 year listener and haven't missed an episode since I've started listening.

They have done interesting things in the past (gas delay pistol, pdws, double stack/double feed pistols, early in the FCU game) but recently they have only had the Aug which is not great or really interesting to me and the M9A2, which is great ergonomically but has not optic cut options and as far as I can tell is currently out of production. Thoughts? Aaron likes to shart - I am debating between a PTR91 or a DS Arms FAL as a range toy. What would the cast pick and why? Note, I already have an ar-10. Aaron D - I was wondering if you guys have any recommendations for a small handgun storage device. I will have a son born in November and am looking to keep my weapons in a more safe area rather than just placing them in a drawer. Also I am a big lever gun fan and was thinking about upgrading my Henry model X in 357 with some of the Midwest industries items. Do you have any recommendations for me. Thanks I enjoy listening to your show while driving. (No notes) Co. Er E - I finally bought an MP5 clone (AP5) no thanks to you guys. It's my first roller delayed gun and I'm loving it so far. With tax stamps being reduced to $0 I'm looking to get a suppressor specifically for my MP5. What would you all suggest? It is already tri lug equipped. Thanks all! Josh R - Since Black Rhino Concealment stole tons of money from customers, what other holster companies can you recommend that offer similar levels of customization as BRC. specifically those that are adaptable to the QLS system as the few other companies i have looked into do not specifically say if they have that option.Notes, BRC made fantastic holsters and I have bought numerous, but fuck you for screwing tons of people over, including myself, and for your shitty business decisions. Go wallow in your fucking failures and your moms a hoe Cliff R - My question is in regard to the more recent popularity in Truck guns, mostly meaning pistol ARs, etc. I have an inexpensive full size 16 inch AR 15 has a truck gun underneath the backseat, but I also carry a concealed hang on on my person at all times and don't ever leave it in the truck because I'm not stupid. I see YouTube videos all the time about fancy and expensive AR pistols with braces and expensive electronic sights in 300 Blackout or whatever, mine is just a plain open sight AR Rifle, loaded and ready to go, but not to replace my handgun, which again is always on me. I can't afford that expensive and sometimes unnecessary shit, but the cheap shit I have; works- and the moderately priced handgun that's always on me- also always works. What's you guys thoughts on this ? And also would like to comment on Jeremy's lead exposure and control efforts at his facility. Really good job educating yourself and implementing administrative controls practices and PPE for both your employees and also yourself and efforts to protect your family from exposure to an organic lead.

Court Says "No Thanks" to New York's Gun Control Nonsense A District Court has overturned New York's prohibition on non-resident concealed carry permits, marking a significant victory for Second Amendment supporters and challenging restrictive gun control measures.

Infowars: Where Free Speech Meets Triggered Liberals The sale of Infowars highlights ongoing tensions around free speech and gun control, with implications for the gun community regarding perceived censorship and the legal ramifications tied to high-profile incidents like Sandy Hook.

No notes Rob K - Dear WLS Long-time listener, love the show. Keep up the amazing work guys! My question is, how do y'all keep track of your ammo storages? I have well over a dozen different calibers now, in multiple different ammo cans, but I'm having trouble keeping track of how much I own to date. I would love to know a great way to keep track of what different brands, grains, dates purchased, corrosive and non-corrosive, and a total round count. Do you guys keep track in a specific way, like an Excel spreadsheet, an app, or just a handy dandy notebook? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. #WLSisLife #AmmoHorder #DrowinginLead DrLawnCareGuy - As a landscaper-American, I ponder many deep mysteries while using my leaf blower pack or riding around on my mower. For instance, I wonder things like "if el Yeremy liked amas de punto alto, cual would he use, y como le gustaria to have his hydro-dipped?" Would he have a c9 with sugar skulls?

Then the real question is how does it compare to the crews MP5s since now you all have one. And Jeromebay really needs a Mat9 roller delay so he can full auto it. No notes   Torn Taint - Long time listening, not first time caller here. Have you guys thought about doing a road trip to all lower 48 states to do a listener meet-up in one or two major cities in each state? You could even grab Johnny P. and his battle wagon and do content at gun manufacturer places. It's probably not going to happen but it'd be cool if you did. #wlsislife #dicksoutforgeno   Bryan R - Why does everyone hate on Aaron when he's changing hearts and minds on the podcast? For instance, Jeremy used to love all nationalities as his own, then he met Aaron and thinks Hitler wasn't wrong about everything. Shawn's balls used to be normally attached to his body, then his balls saw someone was being a bigger dick than the one above it and sagged to the ground in shame. Nick used to be perfectly healthy, until his colon saw someone spewing more crap than it could and bled itself trying to spew more crap than Aaron could. Middle school bullies used to steal Savage's lunch money, and.......well that still happens, but there's always an exception to the rule. With all that in mind, what is the most backhanded compliment you all can give Aaron?   Cheeks B Clappin - Shawn, have you thought of designing a signature wls cult suppressor?

And I'm not talking about someone standing there knocking aggressively. I mean, if they're actually trying to break the door open. Would you go ahead and shoot? Or would you hold fire until they actually forced the door open? Jason S - I got a Riley defense rak308. My 1st time shooting it i was using winchester white box m80 7.62x51 and i was getting popped primers and and buldged primers. Riley defense said it was from using 7.62x51 and not 308. i didn't have any other ammo and haven't had a chance to shoot 308 ammo yet. I put a hyperfire trigger hammer and hammer spring in it. I'm just wondering if it's the ammo or something with the rifle? Joe J - What is a good flashlight that won't come on in my pocket?

Shawn is Carl, the reluctant, self important hero who's just trying to keep the podcast from collapsing under its own insanity plus, he loves walking around with no pants on. Nick perfectly fits Princess Donut, setting fashion trends for both guns and camouflage patterns that Shawn will obviously follow. He believes a rifle should both slay and match your entire loadout. Jeremy is Samantha, bringing pure chaos, carnage, and a voice so loud it could punch through walls. Also, his mouth is almost always open like a sex doll. And Savage1r is our Prepotente, the all-knowing, no-nonsense goat who drops stats and laws while silently judging everyone and laughing at his own jokes. Each episode is a wild mix of honest firearm talk, tactical insight, ridiculous banter, and just the right amount of madness. You'll get gear reviews, heated debates, political hot takes, and the kind of chemistry only a group this dysfunctional could create. If you want a podcast that's smart, unfiltered, and unapologetically fun, We Like Shooting might just be the only gun show crazy enough to survive the Dungeon and make you laugh the whole way through. It's smart. It's unhinged. It's the most fun you'll have while learning about firearms and the only podcast where a talking goat might bore you to death.   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Lo Hung-Huang - Five stars Five stars, Wow he put five stars again.

Anyway, I'm set to "inherit" my great-grandfather's hunting rifle. It's a turn-of-the-century model, not sure what year exactly yet, but it's a Remington slide action in 35 Remington. I know nothing about performance, etc. You think I'd be safe to shoot it? It's for sure in heirloom territory. I don't have any use plans for it. Maybe a wall hanger if I can find a place my wife can handle for it. Anyway, thanks for the info boys (I think, don't want to misgender these days) Ps, I don't actually care about Aaron's gender or offending anyone. Pps, I miss Lil. Ppps, no homo. Pppps, SSB. Ppppps, is this joke old and dumb yet? Pppppps, just like shawn and aaron, lol Tony D - "Looking to get a sidearm for hiking and camping. I spend a lot of time in the White Mountains in New Hampshire. For the most part our wildlife is pretty easy to deal with. We have black bears but they tend to be small and for the most part they're more afraid of people than we are of them. The next biggest predators we have are coyotes, and bobcats, which I'm not particularly worried about, and fisher cats which, while creepy as fuck if you hear them at night, aren't really a threat (seriously look that shit up, they sound like screaming women). We also have timber rattlesnakes but they're rare enough to be a non-issue. Here's where it gets interesting, there is one animal in the woods of northern New England that scares me and it's the moose. When I say this people tend to say, “what's the big deal? It's just big deer, right?” Fuck no. I don't care how big you think a moose is, it's bigger than that. Picture a clydesdale with six foot antlers and cloven hooves and you'll have a rough approximation. They fear nothing and they move through the woods surprisingly quietly so it's pretty easy to startle one if you don't know it's there. In springtime the young bulls get all sex-nuts and retard-strong and occasionally decide to take out their sexual frustration by murdering the fuck out of whatever they can find. And god help you if you come across a cow with a baby. Mama moose will stomp your ass into jelly and go right back to munching on lake weed if you so much as look at her offspring cross-eyed. So my question is this, is 10mm hardcast enough to take down leftover ice-age megafauna too dumb to go extinct? Or should I be looking at something bigger?" Aaron Not Moses - Rebuilding a backyard range and I have a few different places to put it, no gas lines nearby. I am mostly surrounded by woods but there are some properties that have buildings on them or may be building on them in the future. Two questions, how high should a berm be in relation to the targets? When placing the berm and shooting direction how far should the closest building be away? 1 mile, 2 miles, or more We are shooting anything from 22-6.5 Creedmoor, but who knows when we will buy a cannon. Tyson S - Recently started chemo and due to having a port on my right side they told not shoot for fear of damaging it. My time line is finishing chemo ( should be cured very treatable prognosis) in a couple months but the ports stays in for a year or so. I'm going to try to learn to shoot left handed now a skill that I never thought I'...

I'm thinking of dumping the 2nd focal plane lpvo, what suggestions would you have for a different optic for that concept? Otherwise, what would you guys do for a "modern battle rifle" setup? Optics, furniture, etc? Cheers, Sean M No notes And 171 for life Nick D - I have a Mitchell shorty DOC with the mloc guard. I want to get a Midwest suppressor hand guard and a dead air can for it so I can have more rail space. Would this be a good set up? Any other suggestions? I have a heat wrap on the rail now and it takes up almost the entire rail. Help Alex S - I recently picked up an older Rem700 in 7mm Rem Mag. Been shooting my .308 out to distance (~550yds) but wanted to go further so i picked this up on a deal. I posted on DangFree about my new scope(Strike Eagle 5-25 FFP) and got a lot of great help there. My question for you today is about the barrel. It is the standard thinner profile barrel and heats up quick after my first few rounds. Is it worth swapping the barrel out to a bull? Should i leave this rifle as-is and invest in a new platform? Any other suggestions? Thanks for your abuse in advance! Wls4life Ragequit from Twitch - Hola everybody, looking into some defensive pistol/ar training and I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what is worth the time and money. I have seen everything from basic pistol courses where it appears they are indoors at a range to courses that are defensive/competition style classes. And when looking into defensive ar courses it runs the gamut from just getting into ar's to having “professional” training for wet work. What do I look for when trying to decipher the description of classes? I am located near the PA/MD/VA area so for the most part that is not a bad drive for most training if there is a recommendation for classes. What should I look for and what “descriptions “ should I steer away from. I appreciate any help, one of the watchers from twitch Ryan W - I have a registered SBR and recently moved to a new city. (It's an actual SBR with a stock, not a braced pistol, I am not one of those guys.) I read on the ATF website that a change of address form could be submitted after a move, as long as I am not crossing state lines. However, I have also read that the ATF is no longer requiring a change of address form at all, as long as the new address is in the same state. Do you know if this is true? Also, how long do you have after a move to notify the ATF? Thank you for the help...hopefully Mike H - Throwing an update since I already decided on my optic I was asking about earlier, found a great deal on a Sig Sierra3BDX 4.5-14x44 scope and picked up a rangefinder to go with, the scope was only $300 Nick F - odd question but have any of the cast looked into the "no new cemetery " conspiracy? I've found that some cemeteries practice the 50/100 year rule. apparently you don't own your plot forever..... Daniel A - What would you choose to defend yourself FN HP 9mm older model or a DB9 gen4?

Reviews ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Romeo Whiskey - It's ok   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Von L - Communism is a failed lie of a system that's caused misery and death since its inception. It promises equality but brings starvation and oppression. It kills freedom and innovation, turning people into pawns for power-hungry fucks. millions died in the Soviet Union, Mao's China, and North Korea from this poisonous ideology. these woke cunts support it, claiming that its the morally superior system of government while simultaneously ignoring that communist regimes like Cuba or the USSR would've jailed or killed them for being gay. unintelligent fucks rant about how the only reason its failed in the past is because its "not real communism" while it having been attempted multiple different times by different countries and it always leads to bread lines and death. fucking weird how that works. Anyway, great podcast, 5 squares.   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Denny - This podcast is great to stay up to date on recent gun news and g...

I own a suppressor and was under the impression that I needed to update my address with the ATF. After asking Capital Armory as well as the suppressor manufacturer, they both told me not to worry about it and I didn't have to. I know you guys aren't lawyers but what would you do in this situation Mike H - Just bought a ruger SFAR in 6.5cm and trying to decide what glass to put on it. Tempted to go with a 5-25 but the longest range I shoot at is 400yd. I intend to get into hunting at some point with this rifle but I do not hunt yet. Since I just spent a grand on the gun I'm not looking to spend anyyhing crazy on the glass. Thanks in advance. P.S. Jeremy isn't a cunt P.P.S. Aaron is a cunt no notes   Jeremy's Cousin Again - My question bout what meat you like. came from you guys talking bout kanye west cousins intimacies. I already knew what meat Aaron liked. Urva Jinaswet - We Like Shooting Episode 611 starting at timestamp 01,07,33 you guys were talking about a video on the SIG P320 and someone making it fire with using parts from different P320 configurations. You guys brushed it off as something that doesn't prove anything because it was made/forced to work like the ATF making that Auto Keycard to work. But it is not like that at all, and you missed the point. The point is that the P320 is capable of firing without the trigger being pulled. It proves the P320 is capable of firing without the trigger being depressed. So with parts being out of spec or not functioning correctly, which is entirely possible with mass production and MIM and shitty QC, the P320 can fire without input from the user. I have been saying this for a while now and now this video proves it. The trigger is not mechanically linked to the striker safety lock. The trigger pushes the striker safety lock out of the way when the trigger is pulled, but it does not pull it back when the trigger returns to start. A tiny spring is what returns the striker safety lock to safe. That's it. Just FYI. Where is this video that shows this? Warrior of the Weekend - Shawn, a few months ago you talked about doing a magnifier comparison review. I was really curious about the results. Did you ever finish it?I just need to know that my Eotech G33 magnifier is the best since it's the only one I have experience with therefore it's the best. #skibidihauktuagigachads Tater Daddy - Hope this arrives before it doesn't matter anymore. DearWLS is like sending a letter in 1848. Have we considered fully whether or not we want the hearing protection act as part of a tax bill? I can see directly how this could legitimize anti-gun NFA-like gun control in future tax bills as part of reconciliation. That would mean in 2-6 years we would be fighting Nonsense that could not be filibustered. On the other hand, this could represent an opportunity. There would obviously be a reprieve during which time suppressors would be easier to get. New tax based legislation for gun control might also represent better fodder for judicial challenges than a 90 year-old law which has gone relatively unchallenged.What are yous guys thoughts? -Tater Keith M - Hey guys, question of the day,,,,,,,on the H.P.A. /“ shush” act . If they take suppressors off the nfa list, (No form 4) just a 4473 ,
