Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke has made it official- he's running for governor of Texas and doubling down on his call to go after AR-15s and other legally owned firearms.

We've actually got two big stories on this edition of Cam & Co: first, an update on the Kyle Rittenhouse trial and the dishonest coverage coving from some in the media, followed by a special interview with country music artist and veteran Ryan Weaver, who's out with a brand new song for Veterans Day called "Let's Talk About Heroes." A link to that video can be found here. https://youtu.be/ebULvWwmIXs

Ryan Petty isn't opposed to red flag laws in theory, but he tells Cam that  he can't support a new bill establishing a Federal Extreme Risk Protection Order, no matter how much the legislative language might be tweaked or revised.

One of the most compelling arguments in favor of overturning New York's subjective "may issue" system for carry permits has come from several public defenders in the state, who say the gun control regime is both unconstitutional and unconscionable in its scope and consequences.

Last week's election losses should be all that's needed to convince Democrats that treating gun owners and the right to keep and bear arms with contempt isn't smart politically, but as Cam notes, the Left doesn't appear willing or ready to learn that lesson.

California Rifle & Pistol Association head and Second Amendment attorney Chuck Michel says he's feeling pretty good after hearing Wednesday's Supreme Court oral arguments in a case challenging New York's subjective carry permitting laws, and he's hoping that the Court's upcoming opinion will open the door for major challenges to many of California's infringements on the right to keep and bear arms.

The nine justices on the Supreme Court had plenty of questions for attorneys representing individual gun owners, the state of New York, and the Biden administration in a case seeking to overturn the state's subjective and arbitrary standards for issuing concealed carry permits, and as Cam details, those defending the law didn't have many good answers.

Gun control didn't really emerge as a campaign issue for either Democrat Terry McAuliffe or Republican Glenn Youngkin in the Virginia governor's race, despite the fact that the Second Amendment Sanctuary movement swept across the commonwealth less than two years ago. As Cam explains, both campaigns may have downplayed their views for strategic reasons, but that doesn't mean that voters are ignoring the issue.

Dan Eldridge, the owner of Maxon Shooter's Supplies in Cook County, Illinois, says business is booming since the Illinois Supreme Court struck down the county's tax on firearms and ammunition. But will the county let the issue drop, or will anti-gun lawmakers try to revive the anti-2A tax in a slightly revised form?

An upcoming documentary from CBS News on "the new pro-gun generation" is surprisingly positive, but is that because of the politics of the gun owners the network chose to profile?
