It critiques modern federal overreach, particularly by agencies like the ATF, as a deviation from the Founders' vision of limited government and a broken promise to the American people.

This AR-15 build focuses on achieving near-zero recoil through advanced components.

The demonstration emphasizes safe handling and proper PPE in a controlled range environment.
