Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Holly Sullivan and Mike Harris / New England Firearms Advocacy Conference
Q: What was the inspiration behind NEFAC and how did the collaboration come together?
The idea originated from Holly Sullivan's outreach and conversations with GOAL; after attending GRPC in Utah and recognizing the regional needs, they decided to collaborate through CCRKBA to organize a regional conference that connects New England states and builds lasting relationships.
Jim Wallace on GOAL's 2026 Outlook / NRA Updates
Q: What are the plans for 2026 or the shareable plans?
2026 will see decisions from the Supreme Court, which could impact local and national legislation on gun rights.
Rob Beckman on NRA Board Nom / MA's Ridiculous Answer to Hanlon / News and Updates
Q: What is your answer to the folks that say that the NRA has a certain stigma associated to just the name?
Beckman acknowledges the stigma but emphasizes the NRA needs to position itself as a pro-Second Amendment advocacy group and to produce effective messaging focusing on firearm safety instead of social issues.
Atty. Dan Hagan With Important MA Litigation Progress / Upcoming MA Legislative Hearing / Glock Makes Waves
Q: How does the recent ruling affect self-defense claims in Massachusetts?
The ruling allows for self-defense claims to be heard even if the person harmed was not the attacker, focusing instead on whether there was an actual threat to life.
Atty. Dan Hagan With Important MA Litigation Progress / Upcoming MA Legislative Hearing / Glock Makes Waves
Q: What are the updates regarding Kyle Culotta's case and his bail situation?
Kyle was granted bail at $10,000 after previously being labeled a dangerous person and held without bail since June.
