About this episode

The episode features a discussion with Second Amendment attorney Peter Tilem on legal issues surrounding gun rights and regulations in New York.

“If you’re not prepared to protect your rights, someone else will decide how you live.” Episode Summary In this episode of The Gun Experiment, we sit down with Peter Tilem, Second Amendment attorney and bourbon buddy, to chop it up on the latest legal battles, gun rights issues, and regulatory absurdities coming out of New York and beyond. We cover the implications of the new so-called “Glock ban,” why courts are so slow to tackle assault weapon and magazine bans, and New York’s relentless push for tighter firearm regulations—including a new three-day waiting period. We also dive into free speech rights in schools, the expanding use of AI surveillance in cities, and the dangers of proposed hunting and fishing bans.
