  • The Second Amendment Implications of Hawaii Legalizing Butterfly Knives (Ft. Alan Beck)

    The Second Amendment Implications of Hawaii Legalizing Butterfly Knives (Ft. Alan Beck)
    May 20 2024
    This week, we have one of the most successful Second Amendment litigators on the show to talk about the surprising outcome of his latest case. Hawaii legalized the possession and open carry of most bladed weapons a few days ago. That came as a bit of a shock to Second Amendment activists in the state, including our guest Alan Beck. While he had already won a ruling against the state's butterfly knife ban and he expected lawmakers might try to undercut that case, nobody really expected a blanket reversal on how Hawaii treats bladed weapons. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean his case is over. Beck argued it's not really possible to open carry butterfly knives. So, that leaves a potential path forward in the suit that Beck plans to pursue. Still, Beck said the repeal of the bladed weapons bans represents real progress. He's more optimistic than ever that Hawaiians will eventually have gun laws that are closer to the rest of the nation. However, he said it would take a lot more effort to get there. Special Guest: Alan Beck.

    Previewing the NRA's First Meeting Since Corruption Verdict; Brooklyn Man Gets 10 Years for Gun Building
    May 17 2024
    Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I discuss my upcoming trip to Dallas to cover the 2024 NRA Annual Meeting and what signs to look for to determine if the group will make substantive reforms or stay its current course. Plus, we discuss the latest in the Dexter Taylor case after a Brooklyn judge sentenced the engineer to 10 years in prison for his hobby of self-manufacturing firearms. We also cover a new ruling out of the 9th Circuit upholding California's sharing of gun owners' personal data with university researchers.

  • The State of the Gun-Rights Movement (Ft. The Dispatch's Kevin Williamson)

    The State of the Gun-Rights Movement (Ft. The Dispatch's Kevin Williamson)
    May 13 2024
    This week, we're doing a guest swap. I was on The Dispatch Live with Kevin Williamson a few days ago. So, he graciously agreed to join me on The Weekly Reload Podcast. We covered some ground on where the gun-rights movement stands today on his show, but there was a lot left to get at. Will Trump turn away from gun-rights activists like he did with pro-lifers? What does it say about that movement that it's so reliant on Trump and the Republican party writ large? Why aren't we seeing more of a political effect from all those new pandemic-era gun owners? Will we ever? Similarly, we picked up where we left off on the Washington Post's Pulitzer prize for its AR-15 expose publishing graphic images of mass shooting crime scenes. Williamson argued the piece was litered with factual errors and, worse, it was intentionally misleading in what images it didn't publish. Special Guest: Kevin Williamson.
