Armed American Radio - The War on Guns

AAR Redux

In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters discusses the implications of a proposed merger between the ATF and DEA, emphasizing the potential threats to gun rights and the Second Amendment. Joined by David Codrea, they explore the historical context, current political climate, and the importance of maintaining the ATF as a standalone agency. The conversation highlights concerns over increased militarization of federal agents, the conflation of gun ownership with drug crimes, and the need for representation from the gun owner community in discussions about gun laws.

Lee Williams wrote the original story covered here on AAR by Lee on Tuesday’s show and Codrea follows up with his take on the travesty. Next, has Trump lived up to his promises for 2A EO’s reversing all of Biden’s EO’s on gun control as he said he would do on day one? David gives us the lowdown and his thoughts. [Listen]

I remember I made some typos once, but I did it so as not to offend Allah…

Round 2 Redux

Today on Armed American Radio Mark continues the conversation started yesterday with David Codrea on Pam Bondi and her 2A chops or lack thereof. Is she right for gun owners as head of DOJ after her support for Florida’s post Parkland gun control bill? [Listen]

In case you missed it live and want to hear it.

Here’s Round 1.

And my elaborated thoughts on what Donald Trump’s election means for the Second Amendment are here.

Round 2

TODAY 4-5p ET Armed American Radio the day before Thanksgiving national broadcast, @dcodrea David Codrea joins Mark for the hour to finish what they started yesterday!! Tune in live at http://armedamericanradio.com [More]

Here’s the Round 1 recap.

Daily Defense Redux

Today on AAR Daily Defense, Mark chats with long-time AAR contributor, blogger, and citizen journalist, David Codrea. Topics include the makeup of the Trump cabinet from a gun rights perspective. Mark and David discuss bills likely to move quickly…or not…and then turn attention to Pam Bondi for AG. David is no fan and eloquently articulates the reasons why, including her past support for anti-gun measures in Florida as state AG. Mark counters with analogies and gives her the benefit of waiting out the hearings. She will no doubt be put on the spot during the confirmation process and allowed to articulate her 2A positions moving forward as AG. A lively discussion, so good in fact, that David returns on Wednesday to wrap up his legitimate concerns. [Listen]

My latest Firearms News piece, “Donald Trump and Republicans Owe Gun Owners, and It’s Time to Collect,” elaborates on my position.
