Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 'Fudd' in the context of gun ownership?

A 'Fudd' is a term used to describe a gun owner who primarily supports traditional hunting firearms and opposes modern platforms like the AR-15. They often echo political talking points that align with anti-gun sentiments, despite owning firearms themselves.

Can civilians legally own NFA items like M16s?

Yes, items regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA), such as M16s or bazookas, can be legally owned by civilians. This requires obtaining the proper federal licenses and paying the associated taxes, a process that ensures compliance.

Why are AR-15s not considered 'Weapons of Mass Destruction'?

Colion Noir explains that AR-15s do not meet the legal definition of WMDs. He points out that handguns are used in over 90% of gun deaths, suggesting the focus on AR-15s may be misplaced compared to actual firearm violence statistics.

What are the dangers of delayed firearm permits?

Delayed firearm permits can be life-threatening. The Carol Bowne case in New Jersey tragically illustrates this, where a woman was murdered by her ex-boyfriend while waiting over 40 days for a permit to protect herself.
