Bearing Arms' Cam & Co

The Second Amendment Foundation's Lee Williams joins Cam with the latest on the investigation into the ATF raid on Little Rock airport executive Bryan Malinowski's home; a raid that left Malinowski dead and an agent wounded.

Retired ATF deputy assistant director Pete Forcelli says he's "appalled" by the new ATF rule re-defining who is "engaged in the business" of dealing firearms. As he shares with Bearing Arms Cam & Co, he believes the entire rule can and should be scrapped since there's now a federal gun trafficking statute that can be used to prosecute individuals funneling guns to criminals.

Attorney Daniel Schmutter joins Cam with the details of a recent hearing challenging New Jersey's ban on so-called assault weapons and large capacity magazines, as well as a look at how the Supreme Court's decision in Bruen has invigorated the state's 2A community.

Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Biden administration are blatantly misrepresenting what the ATF's new rule on folks "engaged in the business" of selling firearms is all about, and The Reload's Stephen Gutowski joins Cam to set the record straight.

Alan Gottlieb joins Cam to discuss Washington State's ban on "large capacity" magazines, which was recently ruled unconstitutional by a state judge, as well as Attorney General Bob Ferguson's claims that every other court in the country has "either rejected or overturned" rulings that have declared similar bans unconstitutional.

Grassroots NC's Paul Valone joins Cam to talk about the group's efforts to make North Carolina the 30th permitless carry state in the U.S., with thousands of gun owners signing on to a petition demanding GOP lawmakers take up the measure ahead of the November elections.

A new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association reveals the rate of "red flag" petitions and approvals is far lower in Colorado counties that have declared themselves Second Amendment Sanctuaries.

Competitive shooter Eddie Davenport and Walk the Talk America's Mike Sodini join Cam to discuss Eddie's candid column about his struggles with PTSD, the night he almost took his life, how a gun-owning friend helped him in his moment of need, and the impact of that outreach on his life (and the lives of others) today.

North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein is presenting himself as a defender of "fundamental freedoms" on the campaign trail, but when it comes to gun control the Democrat is offering up a whole host of unconstitutional restrictions on our fundamental right to keep and bear arms.

With Constitutional Carry adopted in 29 states, a growing number of pro-2A lawmakers are looking for ways to continue to improve the right to keep and bear arms. After one bill aimed at "gun-free zones" failed in a Tennessee committee on Tuesday, Cam has a few suggestions for legislators that stand a better chance of getting enacted into law.

Ryan Petty decided not to attend Kamala Harris's photo-op at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, but he has plenty to say about the new "red flag" office Harris unveiled during her trip, starting with why states should reject the hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funds the Biden administration is throwing at states to implement and expand the gun confiscation laws.

Retired ATF Assistant Director Peter Forcelli joins Cam & Co with details on Sen. Chuck Grassley's investigation into Operation Thor; a multi-agency effort to combat cartel weapons trafficking that was abruptly and inexplicably shut down by the Biden administration. Forcelli also discusses last week's fatal ATF raid on the home of a Little Rock airport executive who was under investigation for...

Are illegal immigrants part of the "the people" who possess the right to keep and bear arms, or are they excluded from the Second Amendment's protections because they're here illegally? A federal judge's decision to dismiss a case against an illegal immigrant charged with possessing a gun in violation of federal law has prompted plenty of debate in 2A circles about whether the judge got it right.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation's top lawyer says the city of Chicago's new lawsuit against Glock is the result of a conspiracy between the city, the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, and the gun control group Everytown, and the organization is calling on Congress to investigate the closed-door conversations and backroom scheming that led to the lawsuit being filed.

Everytown for Gun Safety contends that the 3000 percent spike in concealed carry applications in New Jersey is making the state a more dangerous place, but the statistics tell a different story: one where crime is dropping as the number of lawful concealed carry holders grows by leaps and bounds.

Connecticut Democrats have introduced a bill that could turn much of the state into "gun-free zones" in the weeks around Election Day, but Connecticut Citizens Defense League president Holly Sullivan tells Bearing Arms that the group's 44,000 members are already rallying to defend their right to carry.

As Massachusetts lawmakers huddle behind closed doors to put the finishing touches on a massive gun control bill, the Gun Owners Action League is reminding voters of all of the shady anti-Second Amendment moves and backdoor dealings that taken place in the legislature since the Bruen decision was handed down.

Essential Shooting Supplies owner Chuck Lovelace joins Cam to discuss the life-saving work being done by the dozens of FFLs around the state of Wisconsin, including himself, who are taking in firearms on a temporary basis when gun owners need a safe place to store them. Plus, Cam has news on how you can help the non-profit Hold My Guns with their own efforts through an online auction hosted by 2A...

Retired ATF Deputy Assistant Director Peter Forcelli helped to blow the whistle on Operation Fast & Furious, and his new memoir of his time in the Phoenix field office where the gunwalking took place offers an infuriating and troubling first-hand account of dysfunction and inexplicable decisions made by ATF officials and prosecutors with the U.S. Attorneys Office. Forcelli joins Cam to discuss...

In the wake of USA Today's big report on the 1,800 or so FFLs who've been tagged by the ATF for selling a large number of "crime guns", L.E.P.D. Firearms & Range co-owner Eric Delbert joins Cam to explain why the agency's list suffers from fundamental flaws, and how its being weaponized against FFLs around the country.

Gun Owners of America's Erich Pratt joins Cam with news of how the ATF is trying to weasel its way out of the group's legal challenges to the agency's "zero tolerance" policy for FFLs, which threatens to put gun store owners out of business over minor and accidental paperwork errors.

When Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed permitless carry into law last year, gun control activists predicted the state would become a more dangerous place. Instead, as cities like Tampa have reported, gun-involved crimes have plummeted even as more Floridians are exercising their right to carry without a government-issued permission slip.

ATF Director Steve Dettelbach preferred to talk about auto sears rather than bump stocks in his CBS News interview, and the agency chief is lobbying for Congress to take up "universal" background checks in addition to expanding the agency's operating budget, which would be slashed by 7 percent if a funding package announced on Sunday wins approval this week.

FPC Action Foundation's Cody J. Wisniewski joins Cam to break down Wednesday's oral arguments in Garland v. Cargill, the case that will determine whether the ATF's administrative ban on bump stocks will be allowed to stand.
