Student of the Gun Radio
Being a Student of the Gun is not about being a novice or beginner. Student of the Gun represents a life’s journey of education, enlightenment and the enjoyment of firearms. Each week Student of the Gun will introduce our listeners to all manner of firearms related topics be they sport, recreation or personal defense. Unlike the television format, through the magic of digital radio, we will have the opportunity to explore topics more deeply rather than just give them a quick glance. Discussions will address both that which is current news in the firearms world as well as traditions and foundational principles. Student of the Gun, a beginner once, a student for life.

Pablo Jose Fernandez Gil, 34; Raquel Yudith Fagundez Pitire, 36, of West Valley City; and Kender Alberto Brieo Quijada, 18, were each charged Friday in 3rd District Court with aggravated burglary, a first-degree felony; and five counts of aggravated assault, a third-degree felony. Each charge is subject to gang-enhancement penalties at sentencing if convicted, according to court records. While responding to a report of a burglary on Nov. 1, Unified police officers reported spotting the vehicle of the intruders near 3900 South and 700 West and pulled it over. Gil, Quijada and Pitire were all taken into custody. "Investigators confirmed that Pitire, Gil and Quijada are part of the Tren de Aragua criminal organization," according to charging documents. As detectives sorted through what had happened, they said they learned that the trio had barged into a residence and pointed guns at the four people inside. "Gil told everyone he was going to kill them if they did not leave their girls alone," one witness told police, according to the charges. ()

Paul Glasco: How to Make a Monster | SOTG Special Edition
Back in May, we had Paul Glasco on the show with us to discuss his new book “How To Make A Monster: A Sensible Look At Rampage Killers”, and in light of recent events, we thought it pertinent to share this interview with you again. In this discussion, Mr. Glaso explains factors that tie all of the recent rampage killers together. What facts has the mainstream media deliberately overlooked or flat out lied about? From : In “How To Make A Monster”, Paul Glasco performs a true root cause analysis of rampage killers - sometimes referred to as "mass shooters". The book looks at how broken homes, being bullied, and children on psychotropic drugs can affect personalities as young people mature. Previous killers from shootings such as Columbine, Virginia Tech, Las Vegas, and Parkland are broken down based on these causal factors. Paul goes on to explain in detail how profitable the business of rampage killings is for the media, politicians, and other opportunists by tracing the money back to these people making the money and why they offer no solutions or suggestions on how to prevent rampage killings or on false claims of "gun safety." Not only does Paul break down potential contributing factors as to how rampage killers may be created, but he also offers suggestions on how to prevent future potential killers from being created and how to recognize and deal with signs of potential trouble.

Tune in and listen louder. Thanks for being a part of SOTG! We hope you find value in the message we share. If you’ve got any questions, here are some options to contact us: Enjoy the show!

When I started writing firearms-related articles in the early 1990’s you didn’t need to spend time telling the story of the Browning Hi-Power, AKA the P35. The majority of gun people already knew it. Now, thirty years or so later — wow, have I been writing that long? — we have an entire generation, maybe two, who weren’t raised on the old WWII or Cold War guns. Some of those people confuse the term Hi-Power with Hi-Point. About a year ago, my friend Nicholas Orr wrote a book discussing the historical significance of many small arms used during the last century and a half; A Pipe Hitters Guide to Small Arms & Weapons. With Mr. Orr’s permission, I’ve pulled an excerpt from that book. () From : Sometimes it takes a good guy with a gun to take out someone intent on doing people harm. Such is the case in Las Vegas where a Good Samaritan did just that, likely preventing a man from killing a number of people. Las Vegas Metro police said that a man, who was not identified, showed up for his job with a home remodeling firm and was declared "unfit" to work. He was subsequently fired by his employer. That led the man to go on an unhinged rampage, with him getting into his SUV and driving recklessly down the street, RVM News reported. Some residents who were out on the streets and sidewalks had to dive out of harm’s way. One resident told reporters about the incident. “He was trying to hit somebody, and it was either going to be me or the kid or whoever’s standing in that road,” said Richard Osayna. However, the incident was not without victims. Two men were struck by the suspect’s SUV, including his now-former boss, with the incident happening in Osayna’s driveway. ()

No, this is not an old story, this just happened, again. A 10 year old boy in Tennessee was disciplined and expelled from school for the entire year after he “angrily pointed his finger in the shape of a gun”. Get Your Kids Out of Public Schools!

Every American Should Own a .50 BMG | SOTG 1255

Every American Should Own a .50 BMG | SOTG 1255
Every American Son of Liberty should have experience with and possession of the most famous cartridge that John Moses Browning ever invented; the .50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun). Professor Paul recently reviewed a rifle that is a cost effective entry-level .50 BMG. During our Tech Talk from EOTech Inc, we will talk about mounting optics on the big .50. During our Froglube Pro Tip, Paul has come up with another use for the Super Degreaser. Also, during our SOTG Homeroom from , we consider a recent OpEd on Shooting News Weekly. Do you offer advice when you are at a public gun range? Should you? And, how can we best be prepared to give good advice to new gun owners? Thanks for being a part of SOTG!

That being said, any rifle chambered in .50 BMG might seem price prohibitive and that will be true for some. But with the correct budgeting, owning the most powerful centerfire rifle available can be done. Particularly if you don’t try to shoot your wad all at once. Noreen Firearms ULR 2.0 .50 BMG A couple of years ago I walked into my favorite ranch store in Laramie, Wyoming and behind the gun counter was something I had never seen before. The rifle was big — very big — and painted in a desert camouflage pattern. I figured it had to be a .50 BMG and the clerk confirmed that it was indeed a Noreen Firearms ULR rifle. The man behind the counter indulged me and passed the massive gun over for my inspection. I had that conflicted feeling in my guts. I really wanted to buy it right there and then, but the reasonable devil talked me out of it. No, the reasonable devil’s name is not Nancy. ()

Are you always armed even when you are at home in the daytime? During our SOTG Homeroom, we consider a deadly home invasion that occurred in the middle of the day.

Nicole Schwab made the admission in a newly unearthed video that was recorded during a WEF panel discussion back in 2020. The WEF lists Nicole Schwab as a “Member of the Executive Committee” of the WEF who is also the co-director of Platform to Accelerate Nature-Based Solutions & 1t.org. The group of WEF attendees were discussing how the fake threat of an “immediate emergency” can be used to further advance the WEF’s “Great Reset” plan for humanity. “This [COVID] crisis has shown us that first of all, things can shift very rapidly when we put our minds to it and when we feel the immediate emergency to our livelihoods,” Nicole Schwab declares.

Once more Sniffy Joe Biden’s AFT has been put in their place. This time by a judge in Texas. The court found that the AFT “exceeded” their authority by classifying forced reset triggers as “machine guns”. As promised, the Professor reviewed the new YC380 from Hi-Point, a Yeet Cannon in a milder recoiling caliber.

Be Ready & Braces and Bump Stocks | SOTG 1246
The saying goes, “Be ready so you don’t have to get ready.” The Government of Denmark just advised its people to get ready and prepare for a potential war with Russia. What is the advice that they are being given and how does that jive with reality? Two court rulings have come down in the last week highlighting the criminal overreach by Joe Biden’s “AFT”. First the prohibition against the pistol brace was thrown out by a judge in Texas. Then the US Supreme Court ruled that the AFT overstepped its authority by classifying bump-stocks as “machine guns”.

Judge Reed O’Connor has issued a ruling in Mock v. Garland vacating the ATF’s byzantine rule that effectively bans pistol braces. You know…the same pistol braces the ATF had previously said were perfectly fine and an acceptable firearm accessory. That, of course, was back before the Biden administration waged a war on gun owners, their rights, and companies that make legal products those people want to buy. This comes the same week the decrepit but still rabidly anti-gun president was trundled out of the White House and propped up behind a podium at Everytown’s “Gun Sense University” meeting of anti-gun flying monkeys. There the president once again rotely spouted all the same bogus hoplophobic talking points he’s been using since first finding himself in the Oval Office in 2021. Judge O’Connor granted the plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgement . . . For the reasons set out above, the Court GRANTS Plaintiffs’ Motion for Summary Judgment on the grounds that the Final Rule violated the APA’s procedural requirements because it was arbitrary and capricious and was not a logical outgrowth of the Proposed Rule; DENIES Defendants’ Cross Motion for Summary Judgment; DENIES Plaintiffs’ request for a permanent injunction; and VACATES the Final Rule.

The woman lost her lower left arm and suffered "significant trauma" to other areas of her body, officials said at a Friday afternoon news conference. The mother of one of the teens said the girl's hand had been taken and her right leg had to be amputated. Both incidents happened between Miramar Beach and Panama City Beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Beaches in Walton and Bay counties were closed Friday and reopened Saturday morning, with warnings. The Walton County Sheriff's Office and Florida Fish and Wildlife monitored the shoreline by boat through the weekend. Panama City Beach Police in the Sheriff's Office helicopter Saturday reported seeing "a notable presence of sharks, specifically bull sharks," near the first incident. () From : North Olmsted officials held a news conference Tuesday afternoon to shed light on what happened in the minutes leading up to the fatal stabbing of a toddler in the Giant Eagle parking lot. According to North Olmsted Police Detective Sgt. Matt Beck, the suspect, 32-year-old Bionca Ellis, was at the Volunteers of America store, which is a thrift shop adjacent to the grocery store, where she obtained some sort of kitchen knife. It's unclear if she paid for it or stole it. Ellis then left the store, walked over to Giant Eagle, located in the 27000 block of Lorain Road, just after 3 p.m., and approached the 38-year-old mother, who was pushing her 3-year-old Julian Wood in a grocery cart as they were nearing their vehicle. Ellis allegedly stabbed the woman and Julian multiple times and walked off. The entire attack unfolded quickly, Beck said. ()
