Tales of an FFl, 2A news and Firearms History with Frank Riess
About this episode
The episode features a discussion with Frank Riess about the firearms industry, gun laws, and responsible gun ownership.
"Be a man of your word, don’t be a hypocrite." Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Gun Experiment, we chopped it up with Frank Riess, owner of Wallkill River Small Arms and our favorite recurring guest co-host. We dove into the current state of the firearms industry, the surprising resurgence of first-time buyers, and the ever-persistent confusion around New York gun laws. We also tackled the ammo supply crunch, the great red dot vs. iron sight debate, and the looming legal impacts of new rules—straight from gun shop trenches. From the history of pre- and post-'64 Winchester rifles to the ridiculous proposals of serialized ammo and government overreach, Frank didn’t hold back. We got frank (pun intended) about how quality, craftsmanship, and common sense regulations all play into being a responsible, well-informed gun owner—and citizen. The episode wraps up with some laughs about New York politics, government hypocrisy, and the most unbelievable quadriplegic cornhole story you'll ever hear. Call to Action1.
