Rob shares his unexpected appointment to a collectors' committee, sparking a lively discussion about his new role requiring a suit—perhaps even a mariachi-inspired one! Rob and Amanda explore the nuances of gun collecting, emphasizing the value of rare, oversized firearms like .50 caliber rifles and factory-engraved pieces, while offering practical tips on identifying undervalued treasures, such as a Mauser rifle bought for $120 that turned out to be a rare post-World War I piece.
They also tackle pressing Second Amendment issues, including a unanimous Supreme Court decision upholding the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act against Mexico’s lawsuit targeting U.S. gun manufacturers. Amanda and Rob critique attempts by Senators Blumenthal and Murphy to repeal this act, alongside a lawsuit by 16 state attorneys general challenging the return of legally purchased forced reset triggers.
They also touch on a curious case involving a Chinese national allegedly shipping guns to North Korea, raising questions about regulatory oversight. Rob and Amanda give a nod to GunCon in Cleveland on June 28.
