145: Defund the ATF - Ben Sanderson of Gun Owners of America
Our favorite person on Capitol Hill, weirdly jacked Ben Sanderson, Federal Affairs expert and Host of The Minute Man Moment of Gun Owners of America returns to the show to chat with Nathan and B.R. about what's going on in the world of gun rights. The lads dive into recent wins that led to the ATF losing a significant part of their budget and shortening wait times for suppressors. Nathan shares the tale of his new pawn shop 'Saturday Night Special' find with a possibly questionable past. They also tackle recent court cases ruling that marijuana use shouldn't inhibit Second Amendment rights, discuss the future of federal posturing on weed, explore how Ben got started at GOA, emphasize the importance of keeping politicians accountable on gun rights, and much more!

141: Lucas isn’t Dead! Schizocast
Lucas and Nathan return with a Schizocast. The lads jump into a quick review of A24’s Civil War and if it’s worth your time, Lucas reveals he is only just now watching Band of Brothers and Nathan discusses how predatory subletting in his Canadian hometown has rapidly developed into apartment slumlords. The boys pivot from autistic movie reviews to how the US and Canada are both (poorly) attempting to prevent economic collapse in different ways, how governments are manipulating immigrants with false promises to take advantage of cheap labor, how X / Twitter has flip flopped the kind of echo chamber it is and much more!
