While at CANCON, Congressman Hamadeh, a former U.S. Army Reserve Intelligence Officer, learned firsthand about the health and safety value of suppressors and reiterated his pledge to support our Second Amendment rights. View this post on Instagram A post shared by RECOIL Magazine (Official) (@recoilmagazine) “The muzzle may be quiet, but the message is loud: liberty belongs to the people, not the ATF,” stated Congressman Hamadeh. “For too long convoluted policies and misguided definitions have caused confusion and concern, putting targets on gun owners in attempts to weaken our Second Amendment rights. Enough is enough. I for one, know that we can never do enough to protect our coveted God-given rights, but we must try.” RONIN WOMENWe were excited to welcome RONIN WOMEN to CANCON 2025! “Partnering with Ronin Arms, a leader in integrally suppressed platforms, Ronin Women eliminates common barriers to learning. By reducing noise and recoil, we create a training environment wherewomen can focus on fundamentals without unnecessary distractions. Without the overwhelming sensory overload, shooters aren’t flinching or hesitating—they’re building precision, confidence, and control.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Trench Work Chronicles (@trench.work.chronicles) LOTS OF SUPPRESSORS AND SMILES Thor Targets took one monster of a beating this weekend, but they didn't break! Thousands of people shooting tens of thousands of rounds is an impressive test.
