Stop Saying Your AR Is Not A Weapon Of War

September 21, 2026
Episode Description from the Publisher

Can they ban your gun? Michael drew a four question chart that walks you through it, and question three is the one the Second Amendment community has had backwards for twenty years. If your argument is that your AR is not a weapon of war, you have just conceded it can be banned, because that is exactly what the Supreme Court said about short barreled shotguns in 1939. The honest answer is better than the comfortable one. Also this week: the man who got the $200 suppressor tax killed explains what the Texas ruling actually means for you, and why California is still on the outside. CCW renewals in this state just went up by at least $93 as of September 1, and nobody is going to call and tell you. A 19 year old carrying illegally stopped a shooting at a Michigan mall, and the judge told him bringing a gun there was poor judgment, so we played his entire statement instead of the clip going around. Plus what a juror can actually do once the door closes, and a revolver that fires four calibers, all of them badly.
