CT Ammo Tax Queen vs. 28-Year Congressman?! Shocking 2025 Political Battle - LNL Podcast EP: 75

Connecticut politics just got WILD. John Larson, a 14-term incumbent who’s held the 1st Congressional District seat for nearly 30 years, is facing a primary challenge from none other than Jillian Gilchrist—the state rep infamous for pushing an ammo tax FOUR times.

Will Gilchrist’s anti-gun stance sink her? Can Larson hold on? And is there finally an opening for Republicans to flip a seat in deep-blue Connecticut? Tune in to hear Josh and Michelle break it all down with a 2A perspective.

Senator Chris Murphy just introduced a shocking bill to raise the National Fi****ms Act (NFA) tax stamp from $200 to $4,709 per item. That means suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, and more would all skyrocket in cost — pricing the average American out of their Second Amendment rights.

In this episode of the Lock N Load Podcast, Josh breaks down:
✅ What the NFA tax stamp currently is
✅ Why Murphy picked $4,709 (spoiler: “inflation math”)
✅ The chances of this bill actually passing in the Senate
✅ Why this proposal is another attack on law-abiding gun owners

👉 Do you think the tax stamp should be $0 or $4,709? Drop your opinion in the comments — let’s see where people really stand.

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.

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.
