  • Lead and other chemicals

    Lead runoff to streams and water supplies is never mentioned let alone wearing respiratory protection, but coal miners are given that opportunity and choose black lung instead.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NFA Tax Update 2026
Q: What stayed the same in terms of the overall process regarding NFA items now that the tax has dropped to zero?
Machine guns and destructive devices still have a tax, and the compliance processes remain the same—they still require registration and adherence to NFA guidelines.
NFA Tax Update 2026
Q: Can you give us first a little bit of background of what the NFA is and why everybody is so excited about this one change?
The NFA is the oldest gun control law in the country, and the zero tax on NFA items has created a lot of excitement because it reduces the financial barrier for acquiring items like suppressors and short-barreled firearms.
DIY Range Items
Q: How resilient have you found the targets to be when somebody shoots the wood versus steel targets?
The wood targets can withstand several shots, but they wear out over time, especially when struck by bullets.
DIY Range Items
Q: Can you give us a little bit of your background on what you do in the firearm training space?
Jon Saunders has been heavily involved in the firearms community for over a decade, starting with concealed carry and expanding to various firearms training classes.
Off Body Carry
Q: What are some of the unique challenges that you've come across when it comes to teaching women and their personal safety when it comes to firearms?
Vicki discusses the challenge many women have in recognizing their worth and the philosophical approach to personal safety, which can differ greatly from learning the practical skill of handling firearms.
