The radio hosts open hour two by discussing the importance of the Second Amendment and questioning why earlier generations didn't resist gun-control laws more aggressively. They talk about U.S. gun-control history, including the buildup to the 1968 Gun Control Act, noting that the NRA had warned about it for years.

The conversation shifts to how social attitudes and economic hardships from the early 1900s through the Depression shaped gun culture, ammunition availability, and firearm innovations. They share anecdotes about people improvising with ammunition during hard times and discuss unusual historical shotgun practices like "ringing" shells.

They then cover a current news story about a British man who visited Florida, went shooting, posted a photo online, and was later arrested in the U.K. for "causing distress" and "stalking" simply by sharing the picture. The hosts contrast this with American freedoms and warn listeners that similar social-media-based gun restrictions could eventually appear in the U.S.

Next, they air sponsor messages and return to a discussion of national security. They talk about America's dependence on imported materials like steel, aluminum, gunpowder, primers, minerals, and even ammunition, arguing that EPA regulations and economic pressures have shut down domestic production. They reference past ammunition shortages and emphasize how vulnerable the U.S. would be if imports were cut off.

The segment ends with more sponsor ads and a segue into a new story about teen gun-store break-ins in New Mexico.

The hosts, Amanda Suffolk and Rob Campbell, open Eye on the Target Radio with lighthearted banter about taking photos for upcoming trade shows, joking about selfies, bad angles, and their hobby of rehabbing old houses. They then shift into gun-rights news, focusing on several major legal developments involving the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Second Amendment.

1. DOJ Involvement in Wolford v. Lopez (Hawaii "Sensitive Places" Case)

• The Trump-era DOJ has asked the Supreme Court to participate in oral arguments.

• The case challenges Hawaii's rule requiring explicit permission to carry firearms in most places ("vampire rule").

• DOJ argues the rule has no historical analogue because historically property owners posted no-gun signs, not gun-allowed signs.

• Oral arguments are scheduled for January 20.

2. DOJ's Mixed Role in 2A Cases

• The DOJ has supported gun-rights positions in major cases like Heller and Bruen.

• This creates tension because they are now also defending the National Firearms Act (NFA) in court.

3. National Firearms Act (NFA) and the "Big Beautiful Bill"

• A recent budget bill reduced the $200 NFA tax to $0, but cannot remove the paperwork.

• Some gun-rights groups argue that if the NFA tax is $0, it can no longer be justified as a tax law, so the NFA should be invalidated.

• DOJ counters that there is still a special occupational tax tied to FFLs that deal with NFA items.

• Gun organizations (NRA, GOA, FPC, SAF) have all filed lawsuits challenging the NFA under this new framework.

4. Why DOJ Might Be Fighting the NFA Cases

• Rob suggests DOJ may be opposing these lawsuits strategically so that the cases can reach the Supreme Court.

• If the DOJ stopped opposing early, some cases might end at lower courts without a national ruling.

5. Broader Gun Regulation Issues

• Discussion expands into:

  • Ghost gun regulations

  • How firearms serialization didn't exist until 1968

  • Confusion in ATF record-keeping

  • How varied gun manufacturer naming schemes make compliance messy

Throughout the segment, several sponsors and related organizations are promoted, including:

• Realize Firearms Awareness Coalition

• Riding Shotgun with Charlie

• The Complete Combatant

• John Petrolino's Decoding Firearms

• Locked-In Grip

• Rust Is Bad

• DC Project

Eye On The Target Hour 2
The show discusses national concealed-carry reciprocity, noting that Donald Trump previously stated he would sign such legislation if it reached his desk. Hosts argue it faces challenges in the U.S. Senate, though growing opposition from anti-gun groups suggests the bill has a real chance of advancing. They criticize the Fraternal Order of Police for opposing H.R. 38, saying it misrepresents both state-rights arguments and how easily law enforcement can verify out-of-state permits.

They compare national reciprocity to driver's license recognition, arguing it would function similarly. The hosts mock claims that police couldn't verify permits from other states and share anecdotes about interstate ticketing and identification.

The conversation shifts to New York City's dramatic increase in firearm and concealed-carry permit applications following the Supreme Court's Bruen decision. With police retirements rising and residents expressing a desire for self-protection, many New Yorkers are shocked by the lengthy and complex permitting process after believing media claims that guns are easy to obtain.

The hosts then review Everytown for Gun Safety's Thanksgiving messaging, which frames gun-related debates and myths for holiday discussions. They push back against Everytown's data, arguing that:

• Criminals acquire guns regardless of laws.

• Strong gun laws don't reduce violence, pointing to Chicago.

• Defensive gun uses—often involving no shots fired—are undercounted.

• Gun-control groups manipulate statistics to fit their narrative.

The segment briefly includes humor, banter between the hosts, commercials, and references to organizations supportive of firearms training and advocacy.

Later, they mention a Queens, NY case where a senior citizen defended himself with a gun but ended up jailed—highlighting what they view as New York's unjust system for lawful gun owners.

The hosts, Amanda Suffolk and Rob Campbell, open Eye on the Target Radio with updates on recent community activism around local zoning changes. Their township attempted to insert anti-gun regulations, safety rules, and even restrictions impacting Amanda's earth-sheltered home into the zoning manual.

A large public turnout at earlier meetings caused officials to table the gun-related proposals, but the community wasn't satisfied. Amanda and Rob organized neighbors, distributed information, researched options, and brought in statements from organizations like the Ohio Citizens Defense League—one warning the proposed rules were unconstitutional and could lead to lawsuits.

At the next meeting, over 150 residents attended, surprising township leaders. The community pushed two options:

1. Remove the overreach from the zoning book, or

2. Pursue the "nuclear option" of eliminating zoning entirely.

They collected half the needed signatures for the latter during the meeting. Their message to listeners: pay attention to local overreach and get involved.

Amanda reads humorous AI-generated descriptions of Rob. Highlights include:

• Rob is portrayed as the technical gun geek with deep mechanical firearm knowledge.

• Their on-air dynamic is described as "playful sibling rivalry"—Amanda energetic, Rob technical.

• AI attributes expertise, historical knowledge, and collector insight to him.

• Some descriptions amuse the hosts, especially claims he favors "thoughtful regulation." Amanda counters that Rob is more of a "paint your keister blue and yell freedom" type.

They joke about who really plots their activism—Amanda executing plans while Rob quietly steers from behind the scenes.

Throughout the show, multiple sponsor messages air, including:

• Realize Firearms Awareness Coalition

• Project ChildSafe

• The Complete Combatant training

• Riding Shotgun with Charlie

• Decoding Firearms

• Locked-In Grip

• Rust is Bad

• Various local firearms businesses

• D.C. Project

In the final minute, Amanda notes an upcoming news topic:

• The ATF is back in the headlines, and President Trump has nominated Robert Cekada for ATF leadership.

The hosts discuss AI-based gun-detection systems that are being installed in some schools as an alternative to traditional metal detectors. These systems are intended to distinguish regular metal objects from firearms, but real-world performance has been problematic.

A school in Baltimore had major false positives, including an incident where police drew guns on a student because the AI flagged a bag of Doritos as a weapon. Another event involved officers pulling guns on multiple students, only to later find no firearm at all. The hosts argue that such technology creates a false sense of security, wastes public money, and may lead to dangerous overreactions by law enforcement.

They highlight concerns that relying on AI for critical decisions—when everyday devices like phones and GPS frequently glitch—is risky. They also joke about how students would intentionally test or defeat the system with items shaped like guns.

The conversation shifts to "smart guns" and automated tech in firearms, expressing distrust in systems that could malfunction, require updates, or depend on connectivity—especially when lives depend on them.

Next, the hosts cover a news story from Iowa, where gangs have developed a "lending library" of shared firearms used across multiple crimes. Two gang members received long prison sentences after investigators connected several shootings to the same shared guns. The hosts question the reliability of forensic claims about matching bullets or casings to a specific gun, noting variables like barrel temperature, ammunition type, and mechanical differences.

Throughout, the tone mixes serious critique with humor, skepticism about technology, and commentary on overregulation and the unintended consequences of tech-dependent policing and firearms restrictions.

The hosts of Eye on the Target Radio, Amanda and Rob, open the show with light banter about AI describing Rob as "unenthusiastic," which leads to humorous discussion about their personalities. They then shift to a local controversy in their small rural township, where proposed zoning changes attempted to restrict gun use, hunting, and even home and building designs. The proposals triggered strong community pushback, especially from gun owners, resulting in many of the controversial provisions being struck from the document. A newspaper article reported these rollbacks, but concerns remain because officials hinted that some regulations might be revisited in the future. Amanda describes ongoing civic engagement and upcoming township meetings.

The discussion then moves to national firearm policy, particularly the NFA (National Firearms Act). Rob explains confusion around current regulations, how firearms classifications have evolved, and the possibility that some NFA restrictions (like those on suppressors and short-barreled firearms) might be removed depending on court or legislative outcomes. They explore historical firearms, regulatory complexity, and lingering issues about what could realistically be deregulated versus what will likely remain heavily restricted.

The segment also includes ads and promos for firearms-related organizations, training programs, and safety initiatives.
