2A Connecticut Podcast

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals just dropped a bomb on Connecticut gun owners. In Grant v. Lamont and NAGR v. Lamont, the court upheld CT’s assault weapon and magazine bans, declaring AR-15s and standard-capacity mags “unusually dangerous” – even while admitting they’re common.

👉 What does this ruling mean for your rights?
👉 Did the court just twist the words of Heller to push an anti-2A agenda?
👉 Is the Supreme Court the only hope left for CT gun owners?

Josh breaks it all down in this urgent Lock N Load Podcast episode. Don’t miss this one – the future of the Second Amendment in Connecticut (and beyond) could hang in the balance.

💬 Drop your thoughts in the comments – Did the judges get it right, or did they just rewrite the Constitution?

Features: threaded barrel, flip-up sights, Picatinny rail, folding brace options

After years of doing business with MGE Wholesale, I’ve had enough. In this episode, I break down how one of my longtime distributors completely misinterpreted Connecticut’s gun laws, cut off legal sales to licensed dealers, and refused to listen to facts—even from their own customers. From “assault weapon” misunderstandings to banning perfectly legal pistols and magazines, this policy shift hurts Connecticut gun stores and the law-abiding people we serve. If you’re an FFL, you need to hear this before giving them your business.
