Bearing Arms' Cam & Company

Grassroots NC executive director Paul Valone joins Cam to celebrate the repeal of North Carolina's pistol purchase permit law, as well as sharing the next goal for the 2A group and its members.

Does the right to keep and bear arms apply only to "law-abiding" citizens, and if so, then what's to prevent state or federal governments from prohibiting gun possession for anyone who's ever gotten a speeding ticket or smoked a joint (even in states where it's legal)? Who exactly fits under the Second Amendment's umbrella of protection for the right of "the people" to keep and bear arms? Those questions are at the heart of a case that could soon be heard by SCOTUS, and the ramifications of any Supreme Court decision are likely to have a major impact on the gun control debate going forward.

Ryan Petty joins Cam for an in-depth conversation about the murders at Covenant School in Nashville, why gun control isn't the magic solution gun control activists claim it to be, and what really works to keep kids safe on campus.

The Washington Post's "analysis" of nearly 50 years of advertisements for the AR-15 misses the mark in many ways, particularly if the paper's goal was to portray the industry's marketing of modern sporting rifles as something nefarious. As Cam details, from the beginning the utility of the MSR was a key selling feature, even as consumer concerns shifted from hunting to self-defense over the decades.

A 17-year-old on probation for illegally possessing a firearm and a "large capacity" magazine shot two staffers at Denver's East High School on Wednesday; the latest high-profile failure of both the state's gun control laws and its criminal justice system.

Riding Shotgun with Charlie host Charlie Cook joins Cam to talk about his popular show and podcast (including an upcoming episode filmed in and around Farmville, Virginia) as well as the latest threats to 2A rights in Charlie's home state of Massachusetts.

More than 40 GOP senators and House members are backing a Congressional Review Act resolution condemning the Biden administration's new rules on pistol stabilizing braces, and while the resolution faces long odds in the Democratic-controlled Senate, as Cam explains, it's not the only route to undo the ATF's overreach.

While Joe Biden's calling on Congress to "go big" and enact a ban on modern sporting rifles and "large capacity" magazines, gun control legislation isn't likely to go anywhere on Capitol Hill, and as Cam details, Biden's recently announced executive orders are mostly meaningless.

The anti-gun media's campaign to delegitimize the Supreme Court's decision in Bruen continues unabated, with the latest salvo fired by the New York Times. But as Cam discusses on today's Bearing Arms' Cam & Co, neither history nor the Constitution are on the side of the gun prohibitionists.

Attorney Peter Tilem sits down with Cam to discuss the new lawsuit he's filed on behalf of several gun owners challenging NYC's lack of reciprocity for concealed carry and the lengthy delays in the NYPD's issuing of both carry and premises permits; delays that in one case have stretched out for nearly two years.

Holly Sullivan of the Connecticut Citizens Defense League joins Cam with the latest details of Gov. Ned Lamont's assault on the Second Amendment, as well as pushing back on some of the misinformation being spouted by anti-2A public officials in the state.

Mae Toppino says that like most other high school students, she's concerned about safety in schools. But she doesn't want to just feel safe. As she recently told a Florida legislative committee, she wants herself and other students to be safe. Toppino joins Cam to discuss her first-time testimony, as well as why she's decided to start using her voice to protect both innocent lives and the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.

The New York Times (with an assist from the gun control group Giffords) is hinting that gun owners shouldn't be allowed to purchase firearms or gun parts using "buy now, pay later" options by highlighting the case of a California man who was the victim of identity theft when crooks used his information to purchase thousands of dollars of parts and accessories.

California Rifle & Pistol Association head and Second Amendment attorney C.D. "Chuck" Michel joins Cam with updates on nearly a half-dozen challenges to the state's gun control laws, as well as the latest on the litigation taking on Illinois' new ban on "assault weapons" and "large capacity" magazines.

A new study purportedly shows a connection between global warming and increased violence in American cities, but is there real science behind the claim or is just hot air?

Anti-gun lawmakers in Denver are taking aim at the Second Amendment rights of adults younger than 21 with a new bill that bans the sale and possession of most firearms for anyone who hasn't had their 22nd birthday yet, despite the fact that federal courts around the country have recently thrown out similar age-based restrictions in states like Texas and Tennessee.

With complete control of state government for the first time in ten years, Democrats have unleashed an avalanche of anti-gun bills this session, and Rob Doar of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus joins Cam to detail some of the threats and how gun owners are pushing back.

Ryan Petty joins Cam with his reaction to the calls for more gun control in the wake of the shooting at Michigan State University, as well as offering approaches to address active shooters without infringing on the rights of law-abiding citizens.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and other Democratic officials in the state were quick to seize on the shooting at Michigan State University to call for more gun control, despite the fact that the shootings took place in a gun-free zone and police say the man responsible was a convicted felon barred from lawfully possessing a firearm in the first place.

LEPD Firearms and Range co-founder Eric Delbert joins Cam to talk about how several new local ordinances imposed by the Columbus, Ohio city council are impacting law-abiding gun owners, including a ban on 30+ round magazines that comes complete with a six-month jail sentence.

The Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University is siding with a coalition of 2A groups in opposing New York's mandate that concealed carry applicants turn over a list of their social media accounts for police to peruse and look for evidence of "good moral character"; filing a brief with the Second Circuit alongside groups like the Asian Pacific American Gun Owners Association, D.C. Project, and the Liberal Gun Club arguing that the mandate is a clear violation of the First Amendment rights of New Yorkers.

An Iowa high schooler has filed a federal lawsuit alleging that her school district and a civics teacher violated her First Amendment rights by suspending her for wearing a pro-Second Amendment t-shirt to class; a case that could one day have far-reaching implications for students across the country.

New legislation in New York and Hawaii would require would-be gun owners to submit to a mental health evaluation before they could legally exercise their right to keep and bear arms; an idea that is not only constitutionally unsound but is drawing plenty of opposition from healthcare workers.

The Reload's Stephen Gutowski joins Cam to talk about the recent strikes levied by YouTube against a number of gun vloggers. While the tech giant says those actions were a mistake, Gutowski says the intentionally vague policies of many social media outlets are likely to continue to ensnare 2A influencers going forward.

Alabama's permitless carry law took effect on January 1st, but both Second Amendment supporters and some in law enforcement say the new measure needs some adjustments... though they disagree about what changes should be made.
