The Dear Shooter crew returns sick but spirited, breaking down the U.S. capture and indictment of Nicolás Maduro and related narco-terrorism charges, and the odd Pentagon Pizza Index that supposedly predicts major global events.

They discuss firearm projects and gear — a 300 Blackout build with a forced-reset trigger, a compact suitcase AR, and the practicalities of suppressors — plus the new paper-only NFA process and looming lawsuits that could reshape the suppressor market.

Along the way they share light personal moments (a rescued beagle with an international past, holiday gifts) and close out with thoughts on the industry outlook for the year.
