Assorted Calibers Podcast Ep 351: The Dodd LibertyCon Round Table

  

In This Episode

David and Oddball are back from LibertyCon with stories to tell (and Erin was stuck in traffic and needed a well-deserved night-off). Besides LibertyCon stories, the gang discusses:

• a would-be spree killer at a Michigan Church thwarted by church security;
• the Fifth Circuit is revamping their argument against suppressors being "Arms" per the Second Amendment;
• the Ninth Circuit declaring California's one-gun-a-month law unconstitutional;
• the progression of the NFA items in Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill";
• the potential merger of the ATF with the DEA is dead, although we don't know much more than that at the time of recording;
• and the ATF falling on hard times, with the potential to lay off 500 employees.
