Bearing Arms' Cam & Co

And CNN host Jim Acosta was happy to play along, suggesting that gun owners take a "maximalist view of freedom over lives," despite the fact that hundreds of thousands of Americans use their firearms in self-defense and defense of others every year.

Half of the country's Attorneys General have signed on to an amicus brief asking the Supreme Court to revisit Maryland's ban on so-called assault weapons, arguing that the Fourth Circuit got it wrong when it upheld the gun ban in 2017 and inaction from SCOTUS could lead lower courts interpreting the Second Amendment out of existence.

Armed American Radio's Mark Walters joins Cam to discuss San Jose's new mandatory fee and insurance requirement for legal gun owners, why the city's so eager to put such clearly unconstitutional laws on the books, and what 2A organizations are doing to fight back.

State Sen. Sally Harrell's not just hostile to permitless carry. She's proposing a bill that would criminalize possession of a gun without first taking a state-mandated training course, and as Cam explains, the idea is growing in popularity among anti-gun Democrats in other states as well.

Cam's back from the SHOT Show with some final thoughts on this year's event, but he's also joined by Nicole Goeser, the executive director of the Crime Prevention Research Center to talk about National Stalking Awareness Month and why she's adamant about stalking victims recognizing and utilizing their Second Amendment right of armed self-defense.

Cam checks in with Ryan Petty, who's attending SHOT Show for the very first time. Petty, who recently received his FFL, shares his experience as a new retailer, as well as some of the questions he receives from others who can't understand why someone who's been impacted by "gun violence" wants to be a part of the firearms industry.

Cam sits down with Diversity Shoot's founder Tony Simon for a wide-ranging conversation about the changing face of gun ownership and how many new gun owners in the anti-gun state of New Jersey are finding a community to call their own.

The 2022 SHOT Show is officially underway in Las Vegas, and Cam has an on-the-ground report with The Reload's Stephen Gutowski touching on Range Day, the unique opportunities for smaller companies at this year's show, and more.

After a year's absence thanks to a global pandemic, the Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show is set to kick off in Las Vegas, Nevada on Tuesday. Bearing Arms will be on the ground all week long, but we're kicking off our coverage with a preview of the event and a conversation with the National Shooting Sports Foundation's Mark Oliva.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem joins Cam to talk about her push to remove the fees for carry licenses in the state, why she believes other Republican governors should sign off on Constitutional Carry legislation, and her reaction to the latest attempts at infringing our 2A rights by Democratic governors like Phil Murphy in New Jersey.

While Philadelphia hit an all-time high in the number of homicides last year, the suburb of Chester, PA has seen a dramatic turnaround in the number of murders; not because of new gun laws, but thanks to a simple change in strategy.

It's one of the go-to arguments for anti-gun activists, but as Cam details, a "public health approach to gun violence" is really just code for "it's time to rebrand the failing gun control movement."

Delaware residents hoping to legally have a pistol in their home may soon have to first beg for permission and show proof of live-fire training, at least if gun control activists and many Democratic politicians get their way.

A new gun control bill unveiled by several California Democrats this week promises to allow private citizens to sue gun makers and sellers and hold them accountable for the acts of criminals, but according to attorney Erik Jaffe, the measure doesn't go as far as Gov. Gavin Newsom has previously demanded... at least for the moment.

A motley crew of California Democrats have unveiled legislation empowering local governments and private citizens to sue gun makers and sellers and hold them responsible for the actions of criminals, but as Cam explains, a pending legal challenge and existing federal law may doom the gun control bill's future.

As we close out 2021, we're taking a look back at this year's victories along with the threats and success stories we're likely to see in 2022. The Second Amendment Foundation's Alan Gottlieb sees a lot of good news ahead for gun owners, but is also warning that for every 2A victory, we're likely to see blue states and Democrats in D.C. lash out with new infringements on our ri...

A bill expanding New Hampshire's firearm preemption law and imposing consequences on officials who willfully impose local gun control ordinances in violation of state law has the gun control lobby and anti-2A politicians crying foul, while supporters say the measure is needed to curb abuses of the right to keep and bear arms.

Mobile County, Alabama Sheriff Sam Cochran is intent on preventing the state from adopting Constitutional Carry legislation, and a recent Facebook post by the sheriff's office shows the contempt and disdain he has for all those who dare disagree.

Anytime a pundit says "here's a 'gun safety' idea that even conservatives can get behind," you know you're about to hear something that no conservative would support. Such is the case with the arguments of two Michigan attorneys, who say a conservative approach to gun safety starts with mandatory insurance requirements and a government list of gun owners.

A unanimous decision by the Georgia Supreme Court paves the way for gun owners to receive their concealed carry licenses, even if their background check comes back with incomplete information.

While gun control activists insist that the rise in violent crime in many American cities is directly related to increased gun sales, National Police Association attorney James L. Buchal tells Cam that the record-high number of homicides in places like Seattle, Baltimore, and Philadelphia can be directly traced to a lack of officers on the streets.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation's Mark Oliva says the firearms industry trade group is waiting to see the specific text of Gavin Newsom's latest gun control proposal, but he believes the governor's plan to let private citizens sue over the possession or manufacture of "assault weapons" and "ghost guns" is an attempt to pander to his political base as well as...

How badly is Beto's gubernatorial campaign faring in rural Texas? Well, one recent deep dive into Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke's candidacy pondered whether he can show Democrats "how to lose less badly", which doesn't sound like a great sign for the candidate and his desire to ban and confiscate the most commonly-sold rifle in the U.S.

With five states joining the ranks of Constitutional or permitless carry states this year, momentum is building for other red states to follow. The Reload's Stephen Gutowski joins Cam to talk about the states most likely to move towards full recognition of the right to bear arms in the year ahead.

Ryan Petty, whose daughter Alaina was murdered in the attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida in 2018, says he's seeing disturbing similarities between that heinous crime and the shooting in Oxford, Michigan. Even worse, Petty says both tragedies could have been prevented if the right school policies had been in place and practiced.
