Hello and welcome to another episode of T-RX Talk. This is a podcast-clusive episode, and we're

going to be talking about gun culture 3.0 specifically, or maybe gun culture 4.0. I'm already

losing track of the stuff that we covered in last week's episode, which was on gun culture 1.0,

people who owned guns, but mainly thought of them for sport or for hunting,

maybe, maybe a revolver for personal defense, a shotgun in the closet for home defense, and that

was kind of it. And then gun culture 2.0, not just the hunting and home defense and the

personal defense, but also a public defense as well.

And then 3.0 gun culture is kind of where a lot of people are today.

Not everybody.

Gun culture 2.0 is still very prevalent on the internet.

And I think we should all be really grateful for that.

But gun culture 3.0 is more people who are, they're moving to the next

step. They're 3D printing their own guns. They are learning to use night vision and thermal. They're

coordinating with off-grid communication technologies and using drones and digital radios to gather

intel, stuff that we've kind of talked about on previous episodes of this podcast

or the T-Rex live stream. One way that you could break it down, I suppose, is that gun culture

1.0 was interested in the ability to shoot. Gun culture 2.0 was interested in the ability to

shoot and move, and gun culture 3.0 is a little bit more capable of the whole shoot, move, communicate

package. Although that's kind of unfair, because like I said last week, one of the great things to come

out of gun culture 2.0 is a huge amount of ability to communicate information about why guns,

and why Gun Culture 2.0 specifically. Gun culture 2.0 was largely more about

principles, the principles of self-defense and what the Second Amendment was actually good for.
