Due to a massive number of Second Amendment news stories, we're having an ACP Round Table to discuss them!

- North Texas' District Court vacating the Pistol Brace Ban;
- YouTube's new and draconian gun policy;
- Hunter Biden's conviction of lying on a Form 4473, and the ironic possibility that his appeal will make him a champion for gun rights;
- President Biden speaking at the "Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund’s Gun Sense University Conference" while his son was being convicted (the speech was as boring as you'd expect);
- and an alleged attack thwarted by law enforcement which Weer'd finds fishy.

In This Episode: To celebrate our 300th episode, we're having an ACP Round Table! (Sadly, no one is dressed as a Spartan.) Join Queen Erinidas alongside Weer'd Beard, Oddball, Xander, and David as they take a stroll to the Hot Gates of the NRA Annual Meeting and discuss: - signs at the NRA Annual Meeting that the corruption is still around, but the members are clearly wising up and taking the NRA to task for it;;
- Donald Trump's speech at NRAAM, which was more of the usual and with minimal talk of gun rights;
- the possibility of Ronnie Barrett of Barrett Firearms becoming the next NRA Executive Vice President (but the day after recording this we discovered that Barrett didn't win);
- more tourists arrested in the Turks and Caicos Islands for having a few pieces of ammunition in their luggage;.
- the 9th Circuit Court striking down Hawaii's butterfly knife ban;
- firearm prohibitionist politicians turning on the dubious Shot Spotter technology, citing racism;
- a Federal court issuing a temporary restraining order against the ATF's change in the "Engaging in the Business of Selling Firearms" law;
- legislation introduced in Congress to remove the $200 tax stamp requirement for SBRs, SBSs, and suppressors;
- another NFA challenge regarding suppressors that are made in Texas and stay in Texas;
- another surprising rule by the 9th Circuit, where one judge in three ruled that felons aren't part of "The People";
- plus the usual silliness and side-tracking that happens with Round Tables.
