The new book is now up on Amazon -- and I could sure use some new reviews!!! If you'd like to help me out big time -- I'd appreciate your doing a review -- plus, in return I'll be glad to send you a FREE refrigerator magnet of the book cover!
Anyway -- if you’d like a free refrigerator magnet of the front cover of the book, size 2″ x 3.5″ — all you need to do is a quick review on Amazon by clicking the following link: https://www.amazon.com/Florida-Fi****ms.../dp/0998401528... Once you’re there look for the five orange stars to see the book reviews — click it — and a box will come up with a ratings chart, and underneath it will say “See Customer Reviews”. Click that and it takes you to the review page where there is a “Write a customer Review” area on the left side of the page which you click so you can do your review. You don’t have to be an Amazon member. You don’t have to make a purchase. In fact, your review can be as simple as “great book” , and also please give me a five star rating!
Once you do that send a self addressed stamped envelope to: Free Magnet Offer, 14697 Sunny Waters Lane, Delray Beach, Fl. 33484. I’ll trust that you did the review, and I’ll send a free magnet back in your stamped and addressed envelope. If the envelope lacks an address or valid stamp — I cannot take the time to correct it. Please — one magnet to a customer. And please — make sure you do the review. It really helps get the book out there! Also, I do not keep track of these – so I just put the magnet in your envelope, and drop it off in the mail. If you want to know if your magnet was sent — I won’t be able to tell you. And if you want to help even more -- please SHARE this post so it gets around.

Had some time on my hands so I created a new video for the book. Let me know what you think if you have a minute:

Want to know if you can buy a silencer without BATFE preapproval??? Well, if you're a member of Gun Owners of America -- sure. Otherwise, not a great idea. The why???

Well, in the recent August 5, 2026, decision of Silencer Shop Found. v. Bureau of Alcohol, To***co, Fi****ms & Explosives, Case No. 6:25-CV-056-H, (N.D. Tex. Aug. 5, 2026), the Texas federal district court entered a national injunction in favor of all members of the Plaintiff organizations. For most of us -- that means just members of GOA. That's the new 2026 ruling out of the United States Supreme Court -- no more national injunctions by a lower court except in special instances. Constitutional decisions are limited only to the plaintiffs who brought the case and, if an organization, also their membership. GOA was one of the plaintiffs in this case, so their membership is included. So, what's the decision?

“In 2025, Congress eliminated the NFA’s transfer and making taxes (in Trump's the One Big Beautiful Bill) for four categories of fi***rms: short-barreled sh****ns, short-barreled ri**es, silencers, and a final, defined group of miscellaneous fi***rms. Because today’s NFA does not generate any revenue from untaxed fi***rms, its regulatory provisions cannot be upheld under the taxing power. And there is no sign in the NFA’s text, structure, or statutory history that Congress invoked any other power in crafting the NFA provisions at issue. Thus, the regulatory provisions must be enjoined as unconstitutional because they exceed Congress’s enumerated powers.”

So, at least unless and until Congress passes a new law taxing these weapons -- if you are a GOA member -- you can purchase them without BATFE approval -- assuming you can find a dealer willing to sell them - as they might have some real worries since they are rarely a GOA member, and the regs to them are unchanged.

Hope that helps. It's also on my website:

Oh, no! Yet, another video about the book! But if you're wondering where to buy it -- on my website, at various gun ranges that actually care about the knowledge level of their customers, or on Amazon, although they won't allow a photo of the new book and only allow the photo of the older Gold edition. Don't ask me why -- my dealers and I keep trying!
