Merry Christmas from all of us at TFB’s Behind the Gun Podcast! As we wrap up our fifth year, we’re incredibly grateful to have you as both listeners and direct supporters. In this special year-end episode, I’m joined by TFB Editor in Chief Josh Centers and longtime TFB writer Rusty S. for a lively, no‑BS conversation about what matters most as 2025 comes to a close. We dive into TFB’s annual Christmas movie debate — the hunt for the one true “Gun Guy Christmas Movie” and discuss the possible implications of the new Gun Rights Office at the Department of Justice. We also share our personal Christmas wishes for the gun world: what we’d like to see change, what we hope to accomplish in our own work, and where we think the industry should be headed. Finally, we give you a sneak peek at what we’re most excited to cover from SHOT Show 2026, just around the corner. Thanks as always for tuning in, for supporting independent gun media, and for being part of this community. From all of us here at The Firearm Blog, Merry Christmas, and stay safe out there!

Merry Christmas from all of us here at TFB’s Behind the Gun Podcast! In our fifth year, we’re grateful to have you both as an audience and as our direct supporters. Today, I’ve brought on TFB Editor in Chief Josh Centers and long-time TFB writer Rusty S. for a fun but pointed discussion on a few important topics to close out 2025.
First and foremost is TFB’s ongoing Christmas movie debate — which film will come out on top as the quintessential “Gun Guy Christmas Movie”? We also take some time to talk about the new Gun Rights Office being added to the Department of Justice and what that means. Of course, we share what we’d like to see happen in our own pursuits and across the wider gun industry for our Christmas wishes, then close out the year by previewing what we’re looking forward to bringing you from SHOT Show 2026, just around the corner.
Thanks as always for listening, and Merry Christmas from all of us here at The Firearm Blog!
