Jeff breaks down what James Talarico's campaign platform really means for gun owners — and why even Texas isn't safe from the gun control playbook. If you think it can't happen here, think again.

Show notes

In May 1776, Congress told every colony to throw off British authority — weeks before the Declaration of Independence was even written. Jeff covers the pivotal resolutions, Virginia's bold move, the collapsing Canadian campaign, and why armed citizens were the only thing that gave those political declarations any real teeth. This is the Road to 250 series, and we're getting close to July 4th, 1776.

Three of the most controversial ATF rules from the Biden era — pistol braces, ghost guns, and enhanced background checks for young buyers — are officially on the road to being rolled back. Jeff breaks down what's actually been published, what the rollback process looks like, and why this matters for every gun owner even if you weren't directly affected by these rules.

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

British records from the 1775 Siege of Boston reveal that civilians surrendered over 600 pistols — proving handguns were commonly owned well before the Second Amendment was written. Jeff breaks down what these numbers mean for today's legal battles over handgun rights, how they connect to the Supreme Court's Bruen decision, and why the 'muskets only' argument has never held up. If you carry a handgun, this history belongs in your back pocket.

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger just sent an assault firearms ban back to the legislature — not to weaken it, but to demand it cover even more guns. In this episode I break down what's in the bill, why the former 'moderate' is pushing for maximum restrictions, and how this could become a blueprint for gun bans nationwide. If you own a semi-automatic rifle or pistol, this one matters.

In April 1776, Congress opened the ports, North Carolina became the first colony to authorize a vote for independence, and Washington marched his citizen army toward New York.
