There a bunch of Firearm Freedom bills being heard in Nashville on March 7th, and we will be there. The process of legislative change is difficult and confusing, but there is a lot of progress going on, so much so that even David Hogg can see it! Kind of.

Artificial Intelligence vs. Natural Dumbness Feb 21, 2023

Show notes

Are AIs getting smarter faster than we are getting dumber? Will they lift us to higher plane of human evolution, or send killer robots to terminate us? It is becoming increasing clear that futurists of the past were very bad at predicting what AIs would be good at. Here are a few observations on how the battle for reality might go during the rise of the machines.

The ATF's Final Pistol Brace Rule is a Trap Jan 21, 2023

Show notes

Is it final because it's the last one? SHOT Show was a great place to hear lots of discussion on the most recent egregious ATF rule, one that claims that 10-40m Americans are felons and have been for some time. This podcast has some of the main points, and here are some great resources to learn more.
CORRECTION: Early on in the podcast I mentioned the US government selling surplus M1 Garands with a 16.25" barrel, but those were in fact M1 Carbines. The surplus M1 Garands had an 18" barrel, and should also not be confused with M1 Abrams, which usually has at least a 200" barrel.
