Yellow flag laws, competition shooting gone off the rails, and a "Stump My Nephew" question that finally landed — Michael and Sam are coming to you from Virginia with a stacked show.

Michael Ware of the Iowa Firearms Coalition shares a 15-year grassroots playbook for winning on the Second Amendment. Then trainer Paul Markel (Student of the Gun) joins to defend his article on competition shooting, aftermarket triggers, and why reliability beats speed every time.

A listener asks a deceptively tough question:

What does QIT stand for in the FBI bowling pin target?

Sam takes a shot at the answer, but this one is far more specific than it sounds. Sometimes firearm history and training terminology can stump even the experts.

Did he guess it right? Watch the full segment to find out: https://youtu.be/XK_QWdhPAok

You’ve heard the headline: “200 mass shootings by March.”

But what does that number actually include?

Dakota dug into the data and found definitions that combine very different types of incidents, plus a defensive gun use report that rarely gets discussed.

Understanding the data is the first step to having a better conversation.

You've heard the number — "the 200th mass shooting of the year" — in March. Dakota went into the data to find out what that actually counts.

What she found will change how you argue this issue: a hidden defensive-gun-use report, a definition that lumps gang violence in with school shootings, and a clearer way to think about real solutions.

In this segment:

What "mass shooting" actually means in the data (4+ shot, not including the shooter)

The Gun Violence Archive's defensive-use report they don't advertise — and how to find it

Why gang violence and school shootings need different solutions

"Time and math": how mass shootings really end

How to have a calmer, better-informed conversation online

Get educated so you can defend the right with facts, not slogans.

For years, gun rights groups fought state by state.

Now they're coming together.

From GRPC and AMCON to attorney summits and state organization conferences, a new effort is underway to share strategy, improve coordination, and strengthen the Second Amendment movement nationwide.

The future of advocacy may look very different than the past.

What happens when state-level gun rights groups stop fighting alone?

A new effort is bringing organizations together to share strategy, coordinate efforts, and learn from each other’s successes and failures. The goal is simple: stronger advocacy through better cooperation.

This could reshape how the Second Amendment movement operates going forward.

The Second Amendment movement just planted a flag in the heart of enemy territory — Massachusetts — for its first-ever New England activist conference.

John Petrolino, the Pen Patriot, joins Mike to break down what happened, why it worked, and where it goes next.

In this interview:
-Why New England — and why Massachusetts specifically
-The line that stuck: "they're robbing them of their history"
-How the major 2A groups actually work together now
-What's coming at GRPC and AMCON in Dallas this September

If you're an activist, organizer, or just someone who wants to see the movement grow, this is the playbook.

One thing both sides can agree on: the division isn't helping.

A KPBS reporter and Gun Owners Radio discuss how the gun debate has become increasingly polarized, why fewer people are willing to learn from each other, and how political tribalism affects the conversation around firearms.

When everyone is forced to pick a side, understanding gets lost.
