From the birth of Black Sabbath to the creation of heavy metal itself, the journey all began with Tony Iommi.
Parents hated it. Their kids loved it. After the Summer of Love began to fade, an ominous new sound emerged from the smokestacks of Birmingham, England. Tony Iommi was the architect of that soundβthe man responsible for the genre-defining riffs of Black Sabbath and a sound that would take over the world. More than just a new style of music, heavy metal became a way of lifeβconnecting millions through a spirit of rebellion, passion, and a relentless sound that refuses to fade.Β
Gibson TV proudly presents Volume One in a new series, Tony Iommi: The Godfather of Heavy Metal, a deep dive into the life, legacy, and groundbreaking sound of Black Sabbathβs legendary guitarist.
After 40 Years⦠Machine Guns Could Be Legal Again
Machine guns becoming legal again sounds insane at first.
But what if the federal statute itself contains an exemption that changes the entire conversation?
In this video, I break down the legal pressure test behind a new bill that could allow a state to sell machine guns to qualified, law-abiding citizens. This isnβt nullification. It isnβt ignoring federal law. Itβs an argument built inside the text of federal statute β specifically the exemption allowing transfers βto or byβ a state.
For decades, the 1986 machine gun freeze has been treated as permanent and airtight. But what happens if a state becomes the transferor? What happens when federal language is tested exactly as written?
This isnβt about theatrics. Itβs about statutory interpretation, federalism, and forcing clarity. Either the exemption in 18 U.S.C. Β§ 922(o)(2)(A) has legal meaningβ¦ or it doesnβt.
If machine guns could become legal again through state-structured transfers, that would reshape one of the most untouched areas of modern gun law. And if they canβt, then courts will finally have to say why.
This is how constitutional questions get resolved. One state tests the boundary. Litigation follows. The courts clarify.
The machine gun ban has existed in practical silence for nearly forty years.
Now that silence may be over.
Let me know your thoughts below β is this a real legal path, or a dead end?

Billionaire Jack Dorseyβs Block surged in premarket trading on Friday, after he announced the financial tech firm would cut its workforce nearly in half as he anticipates AI to increase efficiency, leading companies to reduce headcount.
Key Facts
- Shares of Block soared 19.3% in premarket trading to just over $65, pacing what would be the stockβs largest intraday gain since February 2022 (26.1%).
- Blockβowner of online payment apps Cash App, Square, Afterpay and moreβon Thursday reported 24% year-over-year growth in gross profits to $2.87 billion, fueled by 33% growth in Cash Appβs gross profit to $1.83 billion.
- Dorsey, in a letter to shareholders as part of Blockβs quarterly earnings report, said the company would cut more than 4,000 employees, reducing the companyβs workforce by nearly half.
- βIntelligence tools have changed what it means to build and run a company,β Dorsey said, adding a βsignificantly smaller teamβ can βdo more and do it betterβ by using tools the company has built, while βintelligence tool capabilities are compounding faster every week.β
- Dorsey said he believed companies that have yet to reduce their headcount as AI increases workforce efficiency are βlate,β and that he believes a βmajority of companiesβ will make similar structural changes.
NOT IRAQ 2.0: The 118-Year Empire Trump Just Ended
Barbara Boyd argues that the U.S. and Israelβs major combat operations against Iran, announced by President Trump as Operation Epic Fury, are being miscast as βIraq 2.0β and βregime change.β She cites Trumpβs message to Iranians to βtake over your governmentβ and JD Vanceβs statement that there is βno chanceβ of a years-long Middle East war, framing the strikes as targeted to stop Iranβs nuclear ambitions rather than an occupation. Barbara shows Iranβs leadership has long served a British-centered financial system rooted in the 1908 BP oil concession, reinforced by events such as the 1953 Mossadegh coup and the 1979 revolution. She says Trumpβs recent policiesβAbraham Accords, the βBoard of Peace,β Gulf investment redirection, and designating the Muslim Brotherhood as terroristsβaim to dismantle that system, with Iran as the final obstacle amid escalating retaliatory strikes across the Gulf.
