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.
