  • Great podcast

    A very interesting podcast about what’s new in guns and gun politics.

    I will say I find the sports banter completely boring.

    I wish you would stop wasting so much time talking about your home sports teams

  • SPORTS TALK

    PLEASE STOP THE SPORTS TALK BANTER. Your podcast is EXCELLENT. You are more informed and insightful than any attorney you have on. But, when you talk about the eagles, I swerve off the road to hit the fast forward button. Other than the useless sports banter your podcast is the best on gun issues. Thanks for all the time and research you do.

  • Informative and refreshing take on firearms news

    Stephen does a fantastic job making complex and often misunderstood firearms and legal topics understandable with zero excess hype or drama. He has a very professional and business like demeanor but also clearly has a passion for the topics he covers. I really enjoy the news segments, as he also has a very good cast of news analysts to keep the topics and discussions fresh and relevant.

  • Excellent show but….

    …please invest in a better microphone and some sound treatment. The sibilance is killing my ears!

    Aside from that, great work! Carry on.

Q: Same question for you, Rob. What was it that made you want to be involved in this? You and Jonathan seem to have faced backlash from both sides.
