    Welcome to The Morning Drive – Where Firearms, Freedom, and a Little Frustration Collide.

    It’s National Video Game Day—but this isn’t just about nostalgia. Today we break down the Triangle of Passive Disarmament, where:

    Permits are delayed

    Costs are inflated

    And the public is conditioned to distrust you

    This is how they disarm you without a single law passing.

    Support the mission. Break the silence. Reclaim your independence.

    • Got behind a 240 Bravo and a 249 SAW

    • Ran a Glock 18 like a man trying to hold back chaos

    • Stretched Smooth Operator out to 735 yards (and rang steel doing it)

    In this episode of For The Love of Guns, we’re joined by Tom Kubiniec, CEO of SecureIt Tactical, to take a sledgehammer to the myths, fear tactics, and outdated standards in firearm storage. If you think the gun safe in your basement is “secure,” you might be dead wrong.

    In this episode, we break down four big developments in the world of gun rights:

    • Texas passes SB 1362, banning red-flag laws and ending buyback programs

    • Colorado court upholds the under-21 firearm purchase ban

    • DOJ signals that mag and assault weapon bans may be unconstitutional

    • And yes—India just strapped an AK-203 to a drone

    In this episode (the one YouTube didn’t want out there), we’re talking about some alarming Supreme Court moves:

    • SCOTUS refused to hear two major 2A challenges

      • One let Maryland’s AR-15 ban stand

      • The other upheld Rhode Island’s 10-round magazine limit

     

    That’s not just disappointing—it’s dangerous precedent through silence.

    You don’t need a fancy workshop or expensive tools to start gunsmithing—just curiosity, patience, and the guts to try.

    In this episode, I take you back to where it all began: my dad’s cluttered workbench in the mid-90s, a cold H-bar in hand, and zero clue what I was doing. It wasn’t just about building a lighter rifle—it was about testing what I was made of.
