Show Notes
Dear Shooter explores whether the militia concept from the 18th century is outdated or more relevant than ever in 2026. With estimates of hundreds of millions to over a billion firearms and a vast stockpile of ammunition among civilians, hosts discuss how Americans have become a decentralized force of first responders, the realities and flaws of background checks and the 4473 system, and shifts in public attitudes toward self-reliance, homesteading, and gun ownership.
The episode also tackles legal changes like the Fifth Circuit's ruling on restoring gun rights to nonviolent felons, the evolving role of FFLs and state regulations, and broader societal trends—food sourcing, preparedness, and political pressures—shaping today’s gun culture.
