A "Very Quiet" New Year!

Author: Michael Bane January 6, 2026 Duration: 47:19

While 2026 has already proven to be an eventful new year, one of the big stories was, well, quiet. With the Unconstitutional $200 tax gone as of 1 January, more than 150,000 people  have signed up for silencers…and that's just the beginning!

You might know Michael Bane from television, but here his voice takes center stage. MICHAELBANE.TV™ ON THE RADIO! brings together his deep, often surprising range of interests into a single, engaging conversation. While the core of the discussion revolves around firearms culture, responsible ownership, and the technical world of shooting sports, the dialogue consistently branches into broader territory. You’ll hear practical advice on personal defense philosophy alongside unexpected detours into topics like gourmet cooking, reflecting the host’s belief in a well-rounded life. Michael’s perspective is shaped by his years as an industry insider and television personality, often dubbed America’s number one "Gun Guy," but he steers clear of dry technical monologues. Instead, he fosters a sense of community and shared learning, exploring how these practical skills intersect with everyday society and personal responsibility. Tuning into this podcast feels like pulling up a chair for a wide-ranging talk with a knowledgeable friend-one who is as likely to analyze competitive shooting techniques as he is to debate the merits of a perfect steak recipe. It’s this unique blend of serious education and genuine, relatable curiosity that defines each episode.
