Dear Shooter, as we approach America’s 250th Independence Day, the hosts reflect on how history seems to be repeating—escalating taxes, shrinking representation, and cultural shifts that weaken civic resilience.

The episode urges listeners to hold leaders accountable, participate civically, consider relocation for freedom, and strengthen self-reliance and community to protect liberty for future generations.
