2A News, Firearms History and Political Blunders with Frank Riess

Episode Summary In this lively episode of The Gun Experiment’s “Chopping It Up,” we welcome back personal friend and local FFL, Frank Riess of Wallkill River Small Arms, for an insightful conversation mixing firearms history, Second Amendment news, and personal anecdotes. The trio kicks off with stories about teaching kids about taxes, memorable shooting trips, and the hazards of dealing with modern deliveries. Frank brings his deep knowledge to the table with a fascinating segment on the National Firearms Act (NFA) and Gun Control Act of 1968, revealing the surprising history behind firearm restrictions. The discussion shifts to timely current events: legislative battles over the Hearing Protection Act and Short Act, issues with "fudd" politicians, and the importance of citizen advocacy. They also dissect recent incidents of gun misuse in the news—including the ethics and responsibilities of gun ownership and self-defense situations. Frank unveils his custom Kings River 1911, offering a rare firsthand review and comparison to other high-end 1911s. The conversation wraps up with a humorous but pointed look at political showmanship and double standards, urging the gun community to stay vigilant and get involved. Listen for a mix of education, opinion, laughter, and practical advice for gun owners and anyone passionate about personal freedom. Call to Action 1. Join our mailing list: Thegunexperiment.com 2.

About The Gun Experiment

We experiment with concepts in guns, gear and training; all while having conversations about interesting things, with interesting people. Yes, we will talk about guns, but not just guns because humans weren’t meant to be one dimensional. The gun is merely a tool and we believe the person is the true weapon. We want to explore different ways to make this “weapon” better in mind, body and spirit. Experiment...everyday. Access more episodes, subscribe, and learn more.
