This week, we�re discussing some of the incongruities that make it so difficult for gun-rights advocates to beat new gun restrictions even after the Supreme Court�s Bruen ruling.

To do that, I got a leading Second Amendment scholar to join the show. Robert Leider, an associate professor at George Mason University�s Antonin Scalia School of Law, explains why even broad gun restrictions continue to make it into law, and challenges have been less successful than many might have expected. He lays out the �asymmetry of legal liability� at the center of the dynamic

The law had been blocked by U.S. District Court Judge Cormac J. Carney, who declared the statute �repugnant to the Second Amendment, and openly defiant of the Supreme Court.� The case is known as May v. Bonta.

When the U.S. Military requested a new cartridge for the battlefield, Remington and Sig Sauer responded with their own variations of .277� diameter projectiles. Remington�s 6.8 SPC didn�t make the cut, and Sig went above and beyond, designing a revolutionary new cartridge and a rifle to boot.

Just because the Army opted to go with Sig�s .277 Fury doesn�t mean it�s going to be the best option for the consumer. In fact, there are a few reasons it may not be best for our guys in the field. Nonetheless, we�re excited to see the .277 Fury hit the market.
