Armed American Radio is live from Salem Radio Network headquarters in the Dallas area for a special in-studio broadcast during the 2026 Gun Rights Policy Conference. Mark Walters brings Ryan Petty, Jared Yanis of Guns & Gadgets, Arizona legislator Quang Nguyen, and AAR listener Anthony Copenhaver around the microphones for a spirited conversation about where the Second Amendment fight goes next.
The panel looks ahead to Mark’s planned conversation at the conference with the ATF director and chief counsel—an appearance they see as a striking change in the relationship between the agency and gun-rights advocates. Then they turn to the courts and the states: What happens when lower courts resist Supreme Court guidance? Why do fights in New York, Virginia, Arizona, and other states matter even when gun owners are winning federal cases? And what can listeners do in their own communities?
With the 2026 midterms approaching, Mark and his guests debate the stakes of winning or losing Congress, the danger of assuming recent victories will protect themselves, and the role of local organizations, voters, and potential plaintiffs. The hour closes with a blunt discussion of long-serving politicians, term limits, and Quang’s challenge to citizens who are unhappy with their representation: step up and get involved.
Recorded together in the Salem studios, this is an AAR roundtable with the energy of a live show and the Gun Rights Policy Conference just outside the studio doors.
