The Second Amendment Report with Gun Owners of America

The Second Amendment Report with Gun Owners of America Ep39 Shall Not Be Infringed Means What It Says

This week on The Second Amendment Report, we examine the controversial case of Navy sailor and firearms collector Tate Adamiak and the broader concerns it raises about federal power, prosecutorial discretion, and firearms enforcement. We also tackle one of the most fundamental questions in the gun rights debate: what did the Founders mean when they wrote “shall not be infringed,” and how have courts interpreted that language over time? Then we explore whether recent legal victories, legislative proposals, and growing political momentum have created the most pro-Second Amendment environment in decades. Finally, we end on a lighter note as Mike and Clint discuss the firearms they once dismissed, underestimated, or outright mocked—only to discover they were completely wrong after spending time behind the trigger. Clint Morgan is a former Staff Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps Reserves, certified Firearms Instructor, and outspoken voice In the Firearms Industry and social media and is a proud member of the GOA and GOF team. Clint is a North Carolina native who grew up around firearms and credits his father’s 1944 Underwood M1 Carbine as the first rifle he shot at 7 years old. He now resides in the “Live Free or Die State” of New Hampshire and has been in the public eye on YouTube since 2018. He helped a known firearms retailer grow their channel to 1.5 million subscribers before joining the GOA team and starting his own channel in the Spring of 2024. He is an avid 2A Activist who uses his platform to advocate for the defense and restoration of the Second Amendment while also offering education, training, and reviews of firearms and accessories.

The Second Amendment Report with Gun Owners of America Ep38 Rights Shouldn’t Depend on Wealth

This week on The Second Amendment Report, we break down the GOA-backed push to repeal the Hughes Amendment and what that could mean for civilian access to post-1986 machine guns. We also examine whether repealing the law would actually impact everyday gun owners or mainly affect collectors, pricing, and the broader constitutional debate surrounding government restrictions. Then we shift into the lighter side of firearms culture with the growing return of “fun guns,” from retro rifles and PCCs to suppressed .22s and classic range toys. Finally, we wrap up with a conversation every shooter can relate to: the one firearm you always grab first for a day at the range.

The Second Amendment Report with Gun Owners of America Ep37 What Being a Good Second Amendment Ambassador Means

This week on The Second Amendment Report, we discuss what it truly means to be a positive ambassador for the Second Amendment and why the future of gun rights is shaped as much by personal responsibility as politics. We also examine whether modern shooters are becoming too dependent on technology and why skill still matters more than gear alone. Then we break down the growing popularity of suppressors, how public perception is changing, and why more gun owners now view them as practical safety equipment. Finally, we have some fun debating the most overrated gun trends in today’s firearms culture—and which setups may be driven more by hype than real-world use.

This week on The Second Amendment Report, we examine the debate surrounding H.R. 2267 and questions about demographic disparities in NICS firearm purchase denials. We also break down the growing argument that if the NFA tax is now set at zero dollars, ongoing registration requirements may face new constitutional challenges. Then we shift gears and explore why retro and old-school firearms are making a comeback among modern shooters. Finally, we wrap up with a personal conversation about the one gun you’d never sell—and the memories, history, and stories that make certain firearms truly irreplaceable.
