Gun Control Gestapo Silent on Philly Bus Stop Shooting | SOTG 1241
Student of the Gun Radio
Did you hear about the “mass shooting” in Philadelphia? We are willing to bet that unless you live in Pennsylvania, you did not. You might ask yourself why?

During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc we consider the pros and cons of high powered optics. Does Gun Control make you safer? Are countries that restrict gun ownership “safer”?

2A Sanctuary in Michigan & Tennessee Arms Teachers | SOTG 1239
Student of the Gun Radio
A township in Michigan has declared itself a 2nd Amendment sanctuary and has invited all of the adult citizens of said township to become members of a citizens’ militia. Besides the Bill of Rights, is the existence of the militia codified by law in the United States? During our SOTG Homeroom from Student of the Gun University, we will examine the new law allowing teachers and school staff members in Tennessee to be armed at work. Tennessee is not the first state to arm teachers, though, based upon the behavior of the leftwing lunatics you would think this move is unprecedented. Also, during...
