Gun control groups spent years saying the best gun data didn't count. So a Georgetown professor ran his survey again, addressed the complaints they made, and the numbers came back even worse for them. Amy Swearer of Advancing American Freedom joins us to explain what the 2026 National Firearms Survey found, what was done to the man who ran it, and why 26.4 million Americans owning an AR-15 matters to the Supreme Court in December.
Also this week: a Glock is back on the California roster, the ten gun bills Newsom just signed, what it actually costs to carry a gun in San Diego from scratch, Dan Wos on the fake "child gun death" statistic, and the Gun Owners Radio crew's recap of GRPC in Dallas.
