The U.S. Supreme Court just agreed to hear the Wolford v. Hawaii case — and at the center of it is San Diego attorney Alan Beck.

The Assassination of Charlie Kirk: A Wake-Up Call for America’s Free Speech & Second Amendment

The Assassination of Charlie Kirk: A Wake-Up Call for America’s Free Speech & Second Amendment
When Charlie Kirk was assassinated, millions were shocked—but few are talking about what it really means for free speech, political violence, and the Second Amendment. Breitbart journalist AWR Hawkins joins us to break down the truth behind this attack, how celebrity rhetoric from voices like Mark Ruffalo and Rainn Wilson fuels division, and why this tragedy marks a turning point for America. Also in this episode: Why Women Choose to Carry: Inspired by Robin Sandoval of A Girl & A Gun, this week’s truth highlights the growing number of women arming for self-defense and the real-life stats behind the movement. California Sheriffs Ban Red Dots & Weapon Lights: Contra Costa and Alameda Counties outlaw optics and lights on CCW pistols—an arbitrary “policy not up for debate” that spotlights local overreach and fuels calls for grassroots 2A action. Women Driving the CCW Surge: With 1 in 4 women facing domestic violence, groups like A Girl & A Gun and Not Me California are empowering new shooters through mentorship, training, and affordable self-defense resources. DOJ Declares 2A a Civil Right: Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon leads a landmark challenge to Illinois’ “assault-weapon” ban, signaling a federal shift toward defending Second Amendment freedoms as fundamental civil rights. Federal Overreach: Post Office Gun Ban Debate: The team breaks down the controversial ban on firearms in U.S. post offices, exploring its constitutional flaws and the real-world risks it creates for law-abiding gun owners. AB 1127 was revived only after cops got carve-outs, but San Diego County Gun Owners (SDCGO) mobilized fast and shut down local political support — specifically from Vista officials — proving that grassroots 2A advocacy can stop momentum dead.

Massad Ayoob: School Killers Fear One Thing—Armed Staff Who Shoot Back

Massad Ayoob: School Killers Fear One Thing—Armed Staff Who Shoot Back
“The enemy isn’t just the killer — it’s the clock.” Firearms instructor and legal expert Massad Ayoob breaks down the truth about school shootings, gun laws, and the fight for civil rights in America. Listen to why the first 30 seconds determine who lives or dies — and how the Israeli model of armed, trained school staff can stop mass killers before police even arrive. Massad and Michael also touch on: • The emotional weapon the gun-control lobby uses — and why pro-2A advocates must fight with both facts and feelings. • The racist roots of gun control — from post-Civil War “may issue” laws to modern “sensitive area” bans. • Why 29 states now recognize constitutional carry, and how the patchwork of gun laws puts honest citizens at risk. • The truth about 18- to 20-year-olds and AR-15 bans — and what America’s best marksmen can teach us. • The difference between opponents and enemies, and the 80/10/10 rule every activist needs to know. • Why National Reciprocity and Stand Your Ground protections are essential for real freedom. 💡 Plus: Mas shares stories from his decades of experience with legends like Jeff Cooper, Ray Chapman, Bill Wilson, and Alan Gottlieb, and reveals how America became — and must remain — a nation of riflemen.

California's 11% Gun Tax is CRUSHING Small Businesses (and Your Rights)

California's 11% Gun Tax is CRUSHING Small Businesses (and Your Rights)
California's unconstitutional 11% excise tax on firearms and ammunition is devastating gun stores across the state and pricing out law-abiding citizens from their Second Amendment rights. Jake from The Firing Line in Clovis reveals how his business saw an immediate 50-60% drop in sales when the tax took effect, and why this is really a poll tax on constitutional rights. This isn't just about "gun guys and their toys" - it's about fundamental freedoms and equal access to self-defense for all Californians, regardless of income level.

Navy SEAL Trainee Thrown in Prison for LEGAL Gun Parts?
Tate Adamiak, a Navy Master-at-Arms and future SEAL, had his life destroyed when the ATF reclassified common surplus gun parts as illegal and used that to justify a full-blown takedown. No illegal guns. No violent crime. Just a hobbyist, railroaded by a rogue agency pushing a political agenda. Joe LaPorto from the Civil Liberties Policy Research Center joins us to explain what really happened, why this case matters to every law-abiding gun owner in America, and what we can do to fight back.

Red Flagged and Railroaded? The Kyle Arena Controversy
News 2A’s co-founders break down their most controversial article yet: the story of Kyle Arena, a New Jersey gun owner red-flagged after posting edgy content on social media. Was he irresponsible—or unjustly targeted? This conversation dives into the murky waters of red flag laws, due process, and what this case means for gun owners nationwide. Also in this Episode Mike “begs the question:” Why is this phrase important in the 2A fight? Grant and Sean from News 2A join the show to reveal how their hard-hitting journalism is holding anti-2A states accountable, exposing permit delays, calling out red flag abuse—and why even fellow gun owners sometimes turn on them for telling the truth. Q&A: John McCann? Is it really worthwhile to withhold your vote? SPOILER ALERT: YES. Q&A: How do I get an Firearms Safety Certificate (FSC)? Q&A: How do I transport my gun if I don’t have my CCW yet? Legal Updates: Mike & Dakota break down how Renna v. Bonta case exposes California’s double standard on handgun rights. SEAL1’s Stump My Nephew: What gun was hardest for right handed Brits to use during World War 2 because it would poke them in the belly or chest? In a Vista arrest, Mike reveals how California’s “assault weapon” laws aren’t used to stop crime—they’re just add-on charges the state uses to stack the deck against gun owners. Team USA dominated the International Practical Shooting Confederation World Shoot, taking top honors in almost every major division. The team discusses why competitive shooting deserves more coverage—and how it showcases responsible firearm ownership at the highest level.

Could California really ban one of the most popular handguns in America? This week, we break down the bombshell legislation AB 1127 — a bill that could outlaw Glock sales statewide under the guise of preventing automatic conversion. We unpack what this means for gun owners, the Second Amendment, and how anti-gun laws continue to sneak through the system. Plus, we cover major updates in magazine law, spotlight the Nguyen v. Bonta aftermath, and welcome a pro-2A assembly candidate who's walking the talk.
