187: What is The Hearing Protection Act - Ben Sanderson of Gun Owners of America (GOA)
Ben Sanderson of Gun Owners of America joins Art and War once again to discuss what in the world is going on with the HPA (Hearing Protection Act), the SHORT Act, what this has to do with a massive tax bill and much more! The lads get into it with Ben on all the new ground taking developments for gun rights in 2025, discussing what the reality on the ground is for deregulating suppressors and potentially SBR's from the NFA. The guys also ask Ben a ton of listener questions ranging from the topic of the DEA/FBI combining and absorbing the ATF's responsibilities (and why that would be awful), what traps there are if any with the HPA, what the future could look like for gun rights in relation to recent developments and much more!Check out our guest:https://www.instagram.com/realasiangunlobbyist/https://www.instagram.com/gunownersofamericaRAADS Autism Test:https://embrace-autism.com/raads-r/Check out PP.TF here:https://pptaskforce.comwww.instagram.com/pptaskforce.est23/Check out our Patreon here to support what we do and get insider perks! https://www.patreon.com/CBRNArtCheck out our sponsors: Cloud Defensive / Chad Defensive Rifle / EDC Lights:For 10% off site wide, that stacks with any Cloud Defensive sales, use Code: ARTANDWAR10https://clouddefensive.comTwo Grunts Inc. - Quality *Ä*Ř* Manufacturer:Use code: CBRN for $50 off your order!https://twogruntsinc.com/Attorneys for Freedom - Attorneys on Retainer Program, sign up via this link to support the show:https://attorneysonretainer.us/artandwar Use code: ARTANDWAR10 for $10 off an SMU Belt at AWSin.com Check out our link tree for the rest of our stuff:https://link.space/@CBRNartFollow the lads on IG: Nathan / Main Page: https://www.instagram.com/cbrnart/?hl=en B.R: https://www.instagram.com/br.the.anarchLucas: https://www.instagram.com/heartl1ne/ Phil: https://www.instagram.com/philmxengland/

Chuck and Kareem from Open Source Defense join Nathan and B.R. this week to dive into what OSD and Open Source Capital is all about! They unpack their mantra of "100% Gun Rights, 0% Culture War," explaining its meaning, the origin story of Open Source Defense, the broader team working behind the scenes, and how their day jobs in tech and professional fields—especially Chuck's decade at Facebook—shape their unique industry perspective. The conversation turns to Kareem’s work on the OSD Substack weekly newsletter, featuring accompanying art by Daiji from 999 Defense, as well as social media algorithms, censorship, and if there are any clever ways to work around them. They explore how emerging technologies like VR are amplifying "international gun culture," and share their thoughts on the most significant technological, legal, and cultural advancements for gun rights. Also discussed: Open Source Capital, a venture capital initiative from the OSD crew aimed at bolstering companies in the civilian defense industry. The guys explain why they launched it, who they’re looking to support, and why nurturing the high-level business and influencer side of gun culture is vital to its future.

178: The Sig P320 - An Honest Conversation
"The P320. It ends today." Bold words spoken by Sig Sauer on March 7th as they address the years long controversy surrounding their handgun, the P320 allegedly firing without the trigger being actuated. Widely adopted by Law Enforcement, the US military as the M17, and private citizens, the P320 has come under fire for allegedly posing a risk to those who use it. In this more journalistic episode of The Art and War Podcast, Nathan and B.R speak with Brandon and Drew, a cybersecurity intel report writer and mechanical engineer respectively. The pair have previously written reports on the MCX Virtus allegedly facing issues being unable to hold zero with lasers due to hand guard shift. Now, the pair discuss at length and in-detail the many court cases and controversies surrounding Sig Sauer, aiming to have an honest and open discussion on what is actually going on following Sig's statements, and make a historic record for greater transparency with consumers of products for which life and liberty depend on. All information discussed is open source and available to anyone with an internet connection, documents can be found below for reference and independent assessment.Any legal action pursued due to this episode will be met with more memes. :)SIG INTEL REPORT:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ozkb5vouKqtVeHxGBtRJ5z9BVlHMF6k4Uf3gsnLe9Zc/edit?invite=CPu87poP&tab=t.hdaevbdop0sfSIG P320 US I.C.E.
