Never Enough T.Rex Arms
The Botkin brothers and everyone at T.Rex Arms can easily be classified as national treasures for their influence on American culture, particularly regarding firearms and the Second Amendment. Their insight into the gun community is important to the national conversation. When I learned of this podcast it immediately earned a spot on my regular podcast routine!

Good resource for somethings, not for politics
The team at T.Rex are a good knowledge resource for guns, gear, accessories, businesses practices, manufacturing practices, management, logistics, etc. They’re great at marketing. They’re overall very competent, make good products, care about their customers and the state of society, culture and the industry. They are hard to listen to when it comes to politics. Extremely non-self reflective. Don’t grant any charity toward people they differ in opinion from. Criticize what they see wrong in others, while also having those same characteristics. It sounds as if they’ve lived in an echo chamber of their own opinions and people around them patting each other on the back. And they warn about propaganda, while this podcast often serves as a platform for their own propaganda. People listening should actually hear what other people of differing opinions have to say. They’re more reasonable then the Botkins would have you think. Although while I can see their intentions are pure, they are based on some initial false premises that take them into weird directions. Do your homework and try to challenge your own beliefs. You’ll become a better person as a result.

What patriots need
This knowledge isn’t just for one specific community. Trex talks about building a successful business, being a better community, preparedness, and yes a lot of firearm information. The knowledge is here, but knowledge is useless without application.

Did you forget this is a podcast?
Huge fan of TREX, but come on guys. Most of these are just the audio from some video. If I was doing something where I could watch a video I wouldn’t be listening to a podcast. You need dedicated podcasts, not the “lite” version of the videos

Since I’m not a great fisherman I need something to listen too, to pass the time between catches. This show is very informative and interesting.

Great, diverse subject matter.
I love the perspective. It encourages thinking and development of your own perspectives. They share. Their thoughts, business practices, beliefs and love for our country in responsible ways. It is clear that the “questioning leads to understanding” philosophy is alive and well in a world filled with regurgitation of talking points from the media.

Ive been a big fan of TRex from the early days, sometimes my schedule doesnt permit always watching lives or the videos there after. This is a great way for me to catch up and listen to Luke and Issac talk about the important topics that constantly evolve in the industry, and the one im in! Definitely keep this consistant!

Meh
I learn a lot from this podcast. I own a small business in a vastly different industry. That being said it amazes me how quickly I’m turned off of some of the videos by the perceived condescending tone from one of the presenters. I am by no means a professional public speaker. However, I do speak publicly and have to constantly work on my tone and communication when teaching in my business. The same tenor and energy that you need on a shooting range is not transferable to an in house film about equipment. It’s overpowering, obnoxious and the few times a certain brand is trashed on no solid grounds because this presenter doesn’t like the business model it’s marketed through makes me less warm to the T-Rex arms company. Unless you’ve used, tested and documented your findings on a product (O-light) please stop trashing it. I use O-light and am fairly pleased with the product. Not saying it’s the best but when there’s no experience with the product and you simply don’t like how the product is marketed and you throw bashes at it, I’m that much less likely to purchase from you. But the information from this channel is great! Wish the personality and personability of some of the presenters was more amicable.

Pompous Botkin Syndrome Tripe
It’s unreal how much the literal Botkin cult (ran by Geoffrey Botkin) preach about tactical training; despite having zero experience. Very pompous, arrogant and off putting. Especially Lucas, in particular. It’s probably a symptom of their self-proclaimed “Botkin Syndrome”. Yikes.

Good pod cast. Want more
I look forward to listening to this podcast every week. Lots of great knowledge is passed out through this podcast. One complaint is that it is just the audio from the live stream. I don’t have a lot of time to watch the live stream but I listen to podcasts while I drive. I wish there was more podcast related aspect.

2a history
In the top five best podcasts ever produced when it comes to content . Please continue having David and Issac actually podcast. Commit to making a podcast, not just reposting a YouTube video in audio format. No diss, boys. I just really want you to commit to a podcast. I listened to your “failure to post ep.” when YouTube took you down. Shaking my head in disappointment when the next episode started automatically only to surprise me with an educational episode. Follow through, boys. I believe in you.

My new favorite.
During their 6 week hiatus I got to binge and catch up on any YouTube vids I missed since about the beginning of the year. I’m glad I did. Learned a lot. Shifted some view points slightly to where I’m much more aligned to how the Botkins think, mainly because they make sense. Their advice and training videos are great and this podcast is super informative and hope it sticks around! 🇺🇸

Most Educational 2A Group
And it’s not just on the 2nd amendment. Their knowledge is through the roof when it comes to the equipment itself, combat values and theories, politics, etc etc etc. If you drive a lot or go for long runs, stop wasting time that you could be learning to be prepared for evil; or better yet, prepare others around you for the worst.

Great Information
Lots of good information on equipment use. I like how they speak their honest opinions too. Lucas is really relatable to the civilian population and is sympathetic to new comers. These guys are a fresh breath of air and expose the new age world of the younger generation of shooters. They use factual information to relate to their topics and talk about complicated aspects in ways that everyone can understand, even new firearm owners. Love these podcasts and hope to see more content from these guys soon.

I have been following the Botkins for a couple of years now. Listening to the enthusiasm of Lucas, paired with the technical information from Issac, along side the historic and practicality David provides is a great combination. Could not recommend them more!

- Gun Control is Actually ImpossibleThere's a lot of big talk about gun control, but as it is generally discussed it is literally impossible, for three main reasons. Firstly, privately-owned weapons are unbelievably numerous; secondly, modern firearms are really easy to make with modern tools; and thirdly, private firearms ownership is still deeply ingrained in American culture.

- The ATF's Final Pistol Brace Rule is a TrapIs it final because it's the last one? SHOT Show was a great place to hear lots of discussion on the most recent egregious ATF rule, one that claims that 10-40m Americans are felons and have been for some time. This podcast has some of the main points, and here are some great resources to learn more. CORRECTION: Early on in the podcast I mentioned the US government selling surplus M1 Garands with a 16.25" barrel, but those were in fact M1 Carbines. The surplus M1 Garands had an 18" barrel, and should also not be confused with M1 Abrams, which usually has at least a 200" barrel.
