If you’re a Second Amendment Radical or armed citizen, 2022 was definitely a rollercoaster of a year. From the stunning drop of the Bruen decision, to the tepid GOP results of the midterms, and everything in between, it was definitely not for the faint of heart. Along those lines, 2023 is looking cautiously optimistic for those of us who have chosen to exercise our right to keep and bear arms…

Yes, we’ve been down this road before. There’s always room for exposition and nuance though. Certainly, the existence of gun control and gun control supporters is a clear and present danger to free people and those who desire to be free. Whether it’s domestic enemies like Shannon Watts and Eric Swalwell or strange foreign smallfolk like Justin from Canada, those who seek to disarm others by the proxy of State violence are amongst the most vile people out there. That being said, what’s worse is the troubling sort that strike a pose like there’s nothing to it, purchase a firearm, and then openly advocate for more gun control. Whether it’s the Fudd down the street who shoots less than 100 rounds a year, or a panicky hypocrite who bought an AR15 during the recent unpleasantness, those in the fifth column near us Second Amendment Radicals are a troubling faction to say the least. They purchased a firearm, but they clearly do not support the Second Amendment…

Despite the noise and outright lies from the mainstream media, firearms ownership in our nation has been consistently on the rise. While concrete numbers are (thankfully) hard to discern, the simple fact is that more and more people are joining the ranks of Second Amendmment Radicals and armed citizens. And it’s not just the stereotypical old fat white guy aka the OFWG anymore. Though to be fair the OFWG is maybe shoring up his stash of 5.56mm ammunition and maybe investing in another AR-15 or even an AK-style rifle.

The newest members of our raucuous and fun family are demographics typically not associated with firearms ownership. Women, black folk, LGBT people and so on. And beyond immutable characteristics, there’s a noted uptick of firearms ownership in ideological demographics not normally ascribed to supporting the Second Amendment. Yes, progressives, liberals, and even socialists are picking up guns for defense of self and community…

At approximately 5:56 PM on July 17th, 2022, a deeply flawed and defective young person opened fire with a rifle at the Greenwood Park Mall in Greenwood, Indiana. While the attacker did accrue casualties, he himself was nearly immediately neutralized by 22-year-old Elisjsha Dicken, an armed citizen, who was at the mall shopping with his girlfriend. With his GLOCK pistol, Dicken engaged the attacker at an initial distance of 40 yards, successfully hitting him with 8 out of 10 shots fired.

Dicken’s actions prove that once again, a gun in the hand is better than a welfare queen government employee on the phone, if they even bother to answer or show up at all…

In the wake of some tragic media-amplified events, the usual round of regime-approved stooges have been (again) making their thoughts on firearms confiscation known. Of course, it’s the standard talking points. “Ban Assault Weapons” (whatever those are), “Register Firearms”, “Close the XYZ Loophole”, that sort of thing. They have a cheatsheet, and they fall back on it as a matter of rote. Whether it’s out of conviction or just job security, the stooges do stoogelike things for the shot-callers in the regime. Of course, they themselves are armed, or have hired golems close at hand. But god forbid you want an AR-15. Apparently so-called “weapons of war” don’t have a place in citizen hands, despite the fact that the Second Amendment by the book guarantees us the right to have real weapons of war, i.e. an M4A1.

Some of the more wily stooges know this, and thus, they campaign for the jugular - the repeal of the Second Amendment. Along those lines, noted gravitational distortion and champion eater Michael Moore has published a screed calling for just that, the repeal of the Second Amendment. To be fair, this would be the correct procedure to enact gun control, but people like Mikey fail to understand the process and the consequences…

Whether it’s your first rodeo with the AR-15 platform, or your fifth, you’ve undoubtedly been faced with an array of rail attachment systems in your defensive rifle purchasing process. You do know that funky metallic thing around your AR-15’s barrel can have things like lights, lasers, and bipods attached to it, right?

For years, the only real option for attaching accessories to your AR-pattern rifle, or many other firearm types, was the Picatinny rail. Known as MIL-STD-1913 in military circles, this familiar rail system was a standardized descendant of the civilian Weaver rail system. The Picatinny rail was made “official” in the 1990s with the introduction of the M4A1 carbine. Citizen AR-15s, especially after the 2004 AWB sunset, soon followed suit with Picatinny rails. Despite it’s ease of use, complaints remained about the weight of the handguards, and the ergonomics.

Enter Magpul’s M-LOK and Keymod…

On the morning of June 23rd, 2022, the Supreme Court of the United States finally issued it’s opinion on the case of the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association vs Bruen. At stake was the fundamental right to keep and bear arms as acknowledged by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution, and whether it applied outside of the home or not. In a 6-3 vote, the Court has ruled that the right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental right, and must be treated as such by the government. In an extraordinarily well-drafted opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that the right to keep and bear arms is not a “second-class right subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other Bill of Rights guarantees…”

To say this is titanic and beneficial to us is an understatement. And in a positive way, the nuance is in the details. So, what does the NYSRPA v Bruen decision mean for us Second Amendment Radicals?

It’s no secret the regime of Joseph Robinette Biden, Junior has it out for Second Amendment Radicals and armed citizens. Those calling the shots and taking advantage of that befuddled old man don’t like the thought of armed citizens who can say no. To be fair, the government has almost never been friendly to those who choose to take responsibility for their own lives, but the current regime has seemingly made it an action item on their agenda.

With even the current “deal” of a gun control framework looking like weak sauce amd potentially DOA, the regime is hitting all the angles to ram through some sort of anti-2A move to help bolster their dismal poll numbers. The latest angle is to attack the ammunition supply, by restricting the sale of excess production from the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant, aka LCAAP…

While the sunshine might be good for keeping the solar failsafe red dot charged on your handgun, unless you’re open carrying it, you’re going to want to ditch that larger frame pistol for something lighter and more compact.

There are usually a few things you’ll want to look for in a summertime pistol, like one with a smaller profile and barrel, something more lightweight, and an affordable firearm that operates dependably.

Manufacturers like Sig Sauer, GLOCK, and Springfield have recently come out with micro-compact pistols that increase round capacity up to 15 rounds and can run optics but still may be too bulky or too expensive for some users.

The market is full of small-frame pistol options, the models discussed below favor reduced profile and weight above all else, so you may want to consider a few of the following as your favored pick for summertime carry.

It’s looking like 2022 is going to be a rather bad remix of 2020. Supply chain issues, riot season closing in on us for various sundry reasons, and of course the midterms, where our duly elected (supposedly) welfare queens decide to grandstand, especially on the Second Amendment, because the swine fear an armed citizenry. A person with a well-maintained modern rifle is a citizen, and not a subject.

Of course, where there’s freedom, there’s the risk of evil, and the risk that those who oppose freedom will use the deeds of evil people to further their own insidious agendas…
