This Firearms Friday, we’re hitting every chamber hot:

Over 500 ATF inspectors are getting the axe as the DOJ guts the agency’s enforcement arm—what does this mean for gun owners and FFLs?

Attorney General Pam Bondi is rolling back Biden’s gun control legacy, including reviews of the pistol brace ban and the dreaded crackdown on private sales.

We’ll unpack the proposed ATF-DEA merger-that’s-not-a-merger and what it really means.

A Michigan deacon with a truck and armed church staff save lives in a real-world DGU story you have to hear.

And we’ll close with updates on suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and the Senate Parliamentarian who’s blocking gun rights with bureaucratic red tape.

As always, we wrap up with your Army-style safety brief. Don’t shoot yourself, don’t marry crazy, and don’t add to the gene pool.
