In the olden days, conservative media was simple. We had National Review for ideological discussion and Rush Limbaugh for political commentary. Today, things are a chaotic storm of pundits, personalities, and social media powerhouses battling the legacy media. How can Gun Culture 3.0 handle this, and what should we be doing?
Dr. Steve Turley of TurleyTalks joins the podcast to discuss how things are going, and some of the deeper cultural shifts going on beneath our feet, and around the world. In short, Gun Culture 3.0 is poised to be an import part of this ongoing conversation.

A New Tactic for Local Political Activity With David Tucker 59:21

7 днів тому59:21

59:21

Six years ago, T.REX ARMS managed to get a state ammunition tax repealed. Ever since, we've had a lobbyist working on 2A legislation every year. However, a small group of Tennesseans have taken the lessons learned from that first ammo tax fight and spun up a separate lobbying effort that had a surprising level of success. This is their story. https://www.tnfreedominitiative.com/ https://tnfi.substack.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8enTHRDq9r8…

How to Escape a Gun-Free Culture with Henry Chan 1:41:56

A little-known part of Henry Chan's backstory is that he grew up in colonial Hong Kong, an area almost devoid of privately-owned firearms. How did he go from anti-gun to owning five times more guns that the average Texan? And what is the effect of growing up in a culture where gun ownership is literally unthinkable?…

In the first two weeks, the new administration has taken a perfectly normal course of action, such as new appointments, new executive orders, and executed it very quickly. However, they have combined this expected action with an unprecedented level of cost-cutting. Billions of dollars of grants, contracts, programs, and other spending have already been canceled, leaving entrenched bureaucrats scrambling to find an effective response. https://foundationforfreedomonline.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@MikeBenzCyberClips/videos…

Our long-running series of long explorations into past ATF activities finally makes it to current day! And what may surprise you are the ways that bad laws, bad assumptions, and deep ignorance continue to cause tension and resentment... in and out of the Bureau. We also finally address the question of what happens to good ATF agents trying to do their duty. https://davekopel.org/Waco/LawRev/warrant.htm https://www.amazon.com/No-More-Wacos-Enforcement-wellesley-ebook/dp/B002KQ60WY https://www.amazon.com/Firearm-Anatomy-Book-STEN-Submachine/dp/1495975800 https://www.sb-tactical.com/about-us/company/ https://www.adn.com/nation-world/2017/09/08/i-smell-cash-how-the-atf-spent-millions-of-dollars-unchecked/ https://nypost.com/2013/09/25/smoking-gun-atf-agents-busted-in-cigarette-sting/ https://www.amazon.com/Government-Here-Kill-You-Negligence/dp/1510722262 https://web.archive.org/web/20220524032117/https://www.cleanupatf.org/ https://katv.com/news/local/sen-tom-cotton-says-atf-agents-werent-wearing-body-cameras-during-raid-at-malinowski-home https://www.thetrace.org/2024/10/atf-gun-dealer-licenses-revoked-biden/…

History of the ATF 3: Doubling Down on Disaster 34:48

9 weeks тому34:48

After the horror of Ruby Ridge and the brutality of Waco, you might expect the newly elected Clinton Administration to blame their predecessors and walk back some of the abuses of the ATF. Instead, they launched an comprehensive coverup campaign, commended the Waco commanders, and rammed through a new Assault Weapons Ban. How did they get away with it?

Our last video made the case that the ATF, while built to crack down on criminals, was actually set on a collision course with regular Americans. In this video, we document 50 years of its trajectory from Prohibition to the deadly sieges at Ruby Ridge and Waco.

History of the ATF - Part 1: How Prohibition Built the Bureau 29:37

12 weeks тому29:37

29:37

This is a video on the T-Rex lab channel, but due to the number of requests, we're also posting it here for easier listening. The actions of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives don't get as much attention as they should, but most people are generally aware of their recent history. However, to get a better understanding of how they developed as an enforcement agency, we have to go back to their first assignment. This will be a multi-part examination of where the ATF came from, and where they should go.
