View this post on Instagram A post shared by RECOIL Magazine (Official) (@recoilmagazine) We were honored to host Congressman Abe Hamadeh at CANCON Arizona last week. While at CANCON, Congressman Hamadeh, a former U.S. Army Reserve Intelligence Officer, learned firsthand about the health and safety value of suppressors and reiterated his pledge to support our Second Amendment rights.“The muzzle may be quiet, but the message is loud: liberty belongs to the people, not the ATF,” stated Congressman Hamadeh. “For too long convoluted policies and misguided definitions have caused confusion and concern, putting targets on gun owners in attempts to weaken our Second Amendment rights. Enough is enough. I for one, know that we can never do enough to protect our coveted God-given rights, but we must try.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Trench Work Chronicles (@trench.work.chronicles) Ronin Women was on site giving hands-on training for women!
