March 16, 2021 Episode 7: Universal And Enhanced Background Checks & Assualt Weapons Ban Of 2021
On this week's episode of The Gear Room I will be tackling all the Anti-Gun Legislation that passed the House Floor last week. Those bills that passed where House Resolution 8 "Universal Background Checks" and House Resolution 1446 "Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021". These two pieces of legislation if passed will have significant ramifications on the firearms community. Also, last week Senator Feinstein (D-CA) submitted to the 117th Congress the Assault Weapons Ban of 2021. Legislation that would ban all semi-automatic firearms (i.e. pistol, shotgun, rifles, and etc). During the podcast I will delve deeper into all this potential legislation and what it all means for the firearms community. This is The Gear Room. Let's gear up and dive right in.

February 16, 2021 Episode 3: Supporting & Defending Our 2A Rights & Discussing The New Snyder Cut Of The JL Trailer
In episode three of The Gear Room I will be discussing ways to support and defend our 2A rights, a rebuttal to President Biden's statements on the anniversary of the Parkland Shooting, and my thoughts on the new Snyder Cut Justice League trailer. A question I get asked a lot is, "How can I support and defend the Second Amendment?" That is a complex and diverse answer. In this episode I will discuss a few ways you can support the 2A movement directly and with your hard earn cash. My goal is not to tell you what is best but to inspire you with knowledge to make an informed decision. I will also discuss my thoughts and rebuttal to President Biden statement on the anniversary of the Parkland Shooting. He discusses the what gun control he wishes to implement but, doesn't give us any real answer on how to solve the violence in American and our schools. Seeking to blame the tool and not diagnose the symptoms. Finally, I will go all geek mode and discuss the new Synder Cut JL Trailer. To keep it simple...it was dope! I have a lot of thoughts on the trailer and talk about the struggles Zack Snyder has getting his true vision out there. Go ahead and plug in...this is The Gear Room. Let's dive right in.
