“If you’re not prepared to protect your rights, someone else will decide how you live.”
Episode Summary
In this episode of The Gun Experiment, we sit down with Peter Tilem, Second Amendment attorney and bourbon buddy, to chop it up on the latest legal battles, gun rights issues, and regulatory absurdities coming out of New York and beyond. We cover the implications of the new so-called “Glock ban,” why courts are so slow to tackle assault weapon and magazine bans, and New York’s relentless push for tighter firearm regulations—including a new three-day waiting period. We also dive into free speech rights in schools, the expanding use of AI surveillance in cities, and the dangers of proposed hunting and fishing bans.

Key Takeaways
- New York’s “Glock ban” is more bark than bite but shows a continued legislative obsession with targeting gun owners.
- Waiting periods and carry insurance bans in NY are likely unconstitutional and face tough legal challenges post-Bruen decision.
- The courts are a slow, inefficient fix for bad laws—winning elections and being active in local politics is more effective.
- Selective law enforcement (both liberal and conservative) is a slippery slope and citizens can’t always rely on prosecutorial discretion for protection.
- Hunting and fishing rights are under political attack in some states—protecting these traditions requires active involvement and coalition-building.
- Surveillance technology and AI in cities continue to advance rapidly—at the expense of personal privacy and freedom.
