But the grit shown by ordinary armed citizens in the darkest days of independence holds a powerful lesson for Second Amendment defenders today. This month's Road to 250 segment breaks down what happened 250 years ago and why it still matters for every gun owner in America.

In September 1776, Washington watched his militia run, a 21-year-old spy gave his life, and the fate of American independence hung by a thread. Jeff covers the key military and political events of that desperate month — from the disaster at Kip's Bay to the courage at Harlem Heights to Nathan Hale's final words — and connects it all to what the Second Amendment means for armed citizens today.

FBI Director Kash Patel just confirmed before Congress what AmmoLand exposed five years ago — the FBI was secretly using the NICS background check system to surveil lawful gun buyers.

Twenty-five years after September 11, 2001, America pauses to remember the nearly 3,000 people who were killed and the first responders who ran toward danger.

But what does “Never Forget” really mean?

In this episode of Live to Shoot – Defending the 2nd Amendment, Jeff Dowdle looks at whether America has forgotten the lessons of 9/11, the threat of radical extremism, and the importance of protecting the freedoms that define this country. Jeff also examines the changing political and cultural landscape of America and asks a difficult question: are we remembering the tragedy, but forgetting the lessons?

We remember the victims. We honor the heroes. And we must never forget why it happened.
