This week we’re back with another episode from SHOT Show 2024 featuring the crew from Open Source Defense (OSD). OSD is dedicated to promoting and defending gun rights without the political side of things – something we can fully get behind here at TFB. They prioritize an online-first approach, recognizing the importance of building and spreading a pro-gun culture through digital platforms. The group emphasizes the value of good principles, even if they lead to disagreement, and stresses the significance of making hard decisions based on clear, honest, and decisive values. They describe themselves as “digital natives,” believing that effective advocacy for gun rights must occur online –  something they’ll talk about today in their interview with Pete. The group strives to be likable and approachable, aiming to persuade through positive engagement rather than confrontation, which is all too common in the gun industry. Despite their friendly approach, they are unwavering in their commitment to making principled arguments in favor of expansive gun rights, considering it a fundamental human right. Today on the show the crew will talk about the crucial role that 3D-printed firearms will play in the coming years, as well as the legality of electronically triggered firearms and why the ATF may be targeting this specific feature that has become quite popular in the DIY firearm world.
