Bearing Arms' Cam & Co

Gun owners are well aware of the ineffectiveness of gun "buyback" programs when it comes to reducing violent crime, but surprisingly, one public radio outlet in Texas is casting a critical eye on Houston's recent compensated confiscation event and questioning the motivations behind it.

Rebecca Schmoe has been a champion of the right to keep and bear arms for several years with groups like 1 Million Moms Against Gun Control and the D.C. Project. Now she's stepping further into the political arena by running for state representative in Kansas, and hoping to inspire other advocates to do the same.

With Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspending a state's attorney for “neglect of duty” and “incompetence for vowing not to enforce certain laws relating to abortion and "gender transitioning," the Orlando Sentinel wants to know why the governor isn't taking a similar stance on sheriffs who've vowed not to enforce any new gun control laws.

Anti-gun bias in the media is nothing new, but as Cam details, in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision in NYSPRA v. Bruen it's getting ramped up to new heights.

And not only a gun ban. Boulder County has also restricted where concealed carry holders can carry, imposed a ban on gun sales to adults under the age of 21, and a waiting period mandate as well. Now one gun rights group in the state is vowing to sue, and others may soon follow suit.

Gregory Koger might not have thought this one through, because as Cam explains, there are a lot of problems with his call for a national "buyback", even one that's supposedly voluntary in nature.

Massachusetts' legislature wrapped up this year's session early Monday morning, and the head of the Gun Owners Action League says that while a few of the more egregious gun control items ended up on the chopping block, there are still several items of concern and dubious constitutionality that made it across the finish line.

A coalition of 17 Republican Attorneys General are standing side-by-side with Gun Owners of America to take on the Biden administration's pending rule regarding unfinished and unserialized frames and receivers set to take effect next month.

House Democrats are using an Oversight Committee hearing chaired by Rep. Carolyn Maloney to scapegoat gun makers and blame them for the actions of cowardly murderers and violent criminals, accusing them of putting profits ahead of public safety.

While Joe Biden says you can't claim to support police unless you also support banning so-called assault weapons, Ohio police officer, firearms instructor, and gun store/range owner Eric Delbert says Biden's push for a ban isn't supported by most officers and wouldn't do anything to make the public or peace officers safer.

The behind-the-scenes arm twisting on the part of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democratic leadership continues, but there are signs that the outcome of a vote in doubt, and may not take place this week.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation's senior vice president and general counsel Larry Keane joins Cam for a wide-ranging discussion on the Democrats' latest "assault weapons" ban, the installment of Steve Dettelbach as head of the ATF, the gun control lobby's war on the industry in courts of law and public opinion, and more.

The state of Oregon could impose new restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms, many of which appear to violate the Constitution, if a ballot initiative just approved for the November elections ends up being approved by voters.

The gun control lobby loves to portray itself as the voice of "reasonableness" and "commonsense," but their criticism of the armed citizen who stopped the targeted attack at a Greenwood, Indiana mall doesn't make much sense at all, as the Reload's Stephen Gutowski and Cam Edwards discuss on today's show.

A 22-year old was able to stop a targeted attack on an Indiana mall on Sunday, but only because he violated the mall's "no weapons" policy and was carrying a handgun of his own. While the armed citizen isn't likely to face chargers, the defensive gun use is another demonstration that "gun-free zones" don't stop violent criminals, but could prevent law-abiding citizens from acting in self-defense o...

Law professor Jonathan Turley says New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and the Democratic legislature are risking a Supreme Court smackdown with their latest round of gun control laws, but he gives the anti-gun politicians far too much credit when it comes to trying to comply with the Court's decision in Bruen.

Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried's lawsuit challenging the federal government's prohibition on gun ownership for medical marijuana laws looks to be motivated at least in part by politics, but that doesn't mean the case itself is without merit.

Rick Ector is hoping to help educate hundreds of new and would-be gun owners in the Detroit area through a massive event taking place at two local ranges later this month. He joins Cam to talk about the event, as well as the licensing delays Detroit residents are still facing when they apply for their license to carry.

Anti-gun activists are getting downright delusional with their efforts to disarm Americans. Thwarted by the Supreme Court, a growing number of them are now demanding that we the people amend the Constitution and repeal the right to keep and bear arms entirely.

House Oversight Committee chairwoman Carolyn Maloney of New York is calling on the CEOs of several major gun companies to testify on Capitol Hill in a politically-motivated witch hunt designed to scapegoat the firearms industry and blame it for the actions of criminals.

Attorneys for the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association are carefully poring over the new anti-2A laws slapped in place by Democrats last week, and NYSRPA executive director Tom King says legal challenges are coming "sooner rather than later."

New York State Rifle & Pistol Association executive director Tom King tells Cam that the attempts by New York Democrats to defy the Supreme Court's opinion on the right to bear arms in public by imposing sweeping "gun-free zones", draconian training mandates, and more will be challenged.

CRPA head Chuck Michel joins Cam with the latest info into the massive leak of private information of hundreds of thousands of California gun owners from Attorney General Rob Bonta's office, as well as a look at the 16 gun control bills that are likely heading to Gov. Gavin Newsom in the next few days.

The Supreme Court decision in NYSPRA v. Bruen warned against states trying to declare broad swathes of publicly accessible places as "sensitive spaces" where guns could be banned, but that's exactly what Democrats like New York Gov. Kathy Hochul are trying to do by imposing new restrictions on where gun owners can lawfully carry, including virtually all privately-owned businesses unless (in limite...

California Rifle & Pistol Association president and Second Amendment attorney Chuck Michel joins Cam to lay out the top priorities for the 2A group in the wake of last week's historic Supreme Court decision, including efforts to defeat anti-gunners' attempts to use "sensitive places" and "good moral character" requirements to block most Californians from accessing their right to bear arms in s...
