1 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: Hey, and welcome to the short stuff on Josh, there's Chuck. 2 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: Jerry's here in the saddle for Dave and this is 3 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: short stuff. Like I said, that's right, and we're gonna 4 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: try and get through this next twelve minutes without our 5 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,280 Speaker 1: brains exploding and without screaming into the microphone and without 6 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: receiving death threats when this episode comes out. That's right, 7 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: because we are talking about h R eight. It is, uh, 8 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: the Bipartisan Background Checks Act. It is a bill that 9 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 1: originated in the House in the United States to try 10 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: and close loopholes on gun purchase background checks. And uh, 11 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: we thought this might be a good way to dip 12 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: our toe into the gun debate after the events at 13 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: Valdi and uh, here we go. Yeah, the the you've 14 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: all the shooting is definitely if you've paid any attention, 15 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,639 Speaker 1: what's over to the news really kind of breathed some 16 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: um energy into the concept of background checks and some 17 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: bills that were already out there, like that HR eight. Um, 18 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: the Bipartisan Background Checks Act one was introduced in March, 19 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,839 Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, it seems like it's 20 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: got some legs like it didn't have before because of 21 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: that shooting, which is surprising to me, Chuck, because like, 22 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: we didn't do anything after Sandy Hook somehow, I don't know. 23 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: Maybe two is too many now, Um, who knows, But 24 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: it does seem like the zeitgeist is kind of shifted 25 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: after you've all the Yeah, I think so. Uh, just 26 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: nuts and bolts of the bill. It passed the US House, uh, 27 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: like you said last March to two oh three, but 28 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: of course died in the Senate, as so many bills do, 29 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: because it gets filibustered by the Republican Party and they 30 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: won't even talk about it. And there's a fifty fifty 31 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: chamber right now. We want to thank Patrick Kaiger at 32 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: how stuff works for this uh, for this Newsy article again, 33 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: and um, you know, Democrat wanted to. I think they 34 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: were hopeful that they could at least put it on 35 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: the UH Senate Democrats on the legislative calendar. That has 36 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,679 Speaker 1: not happened. But let's talk for a minute on how 37 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: people buy guns in the US. Hey, UM, So when 38 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,679 Speaker 1: you buy a gun, especially if you buy a gun 39 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: from a federally licensed gun dealer, Um, they say, here, 40 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: fill out this form, and this form is submitted to 41 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: the National instant criminal background check system, and it has 42 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: a bunch of different questions on it, rather personal questions, 43 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: but they make sense when you're buying a gun in 44 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: that context. They say, have you ever been indicted for 45 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: a felony, have you ever been convicted of a felony UM? 46 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: Have you ever used drugs? Um? Have you ever been 47 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: committed to a mental institution by a court order? Or 48 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: have you ever been dishonorably discharged by the military. Have 49 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: you been convicted of domestic violence? Are you a legal 50 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: resident of the US? Are You're gonna fill this out 51 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: and then the fire armstealers going to turn around, contact 52 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: the FBI, s n i c S Service and they're 53 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: going to run a background check on you, that's right, 54 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: and see if everything checks out and if you are 55 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: eligible to buy that gun. This was created in with 56 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act because if we all remember, 57 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: after UH Ronald Reagan had an assassination attempt on his life, 58 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: there was gun legislation and they actually did something back 59 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: then about it, including Ronald Reagan and Republicans. Well, yeah, 60 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: because Brady was one of his staffers and he was 61 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: paralyzed UM as a result of that that assassination attempt, 62 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: and so any any gun control legislation that came after 63 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: that usually bears his name. That's right. We are in 64 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: a different place these days. It's a different um Republican 65 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: party and Savir emails. We're not just picking on one 66 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: party over the other. This is just straight up facts 67 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: on how these bills go down. UM a lot of 68 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: people and eventually we're going to get around to an 69 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: n r A episode in full. I guess a lot 70 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: of people will a lot of people will blame the 71 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: n r A, But I personally believe, and I've seen 72 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: articles sort of backing this up these days that like 73 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: the n r A has already sort of done its job, 74 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: and even if they went away completely, things would still 75 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: be about the same, because what they have created is 76 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: a situation where a more moderate Republican who might be 77 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: in favor of common sense gun legislation that anywhere from 78 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: sixty nine of Americans are in favor of UH won't 79 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: even consider this legislation because they want to hold onto 80 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,559 Speaker 1: office because they will get primaried out by a further 81 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: right Republican who says, I will not touch any gun legislation, 82 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: So vote for me, and that's kind of where we 83 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: are today. So so back to background checks like that 84 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: and i c S service UM started. Um, there just 85 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: wasn't background checks before then. And since then they've done 86 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: three hundred million plus background checks for gun purchases. So 87 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: that means that at least three hundred million guns have 88 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: been sold legitimately since in the US, and that out 89 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: of those three hundred million, chuck one point five million 90 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: were flagged and were denied um that the ability to 91 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: purchase that firearm because they didn't pass the n i 92 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: c S background check. And so on the one side, 93 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: a lot of people say one point five million out 94 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,239 Speaker 1: of three hundred that's pretty good math. On the other side, 95 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: they say, yeah, like a bunch of that one point 96 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: five million people were denied unfairly. There was, it was 97 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: ungrounded and there is a process to appeal your denial 98 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: if you are actually denied. But the point is is 99 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: society is saying there are certain kinds of people that 100 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: we don't trust with firearms, and we're trying to root 101 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: them out. In the best place to root them out 102 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: is when they go to buy a gun. It makes sense, 103 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: but there's a loophole to this that is so huge 104 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: that anybody, including convictive felons, can walk right through it 105 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: and purchase a gun on the other side. That's right, 106 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break, let you ponder that ridiculousness, 107 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: and we will talk about that loophole right after this, 108 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: all right. The big loophole is that there is a 109 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: lot of gray area of what constitutes a licensed or 110 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: a non licensed gun dealer. Uh. They talk about occasional 111 00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: sales or purchases being exempt from the background check requirement, 112 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: and there is no real clear line establishing what that 113 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: even means. It's a rule of thumb. It's very vague. 114 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: Uh that someone who just sells a lot of guns 115 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: and they want to make their living selling guns or 116 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: make a profit selling guns. Yeah, not even make a living, 117 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: make a profit selling guns, has to be licensed to 118 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: conduct these background checks. But you've heard about gun shows 119 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: and the internet and things like that. If you sell 120 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: guns at a gun show, you can claim to not 121 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: be like, you know, like, hey, I'm just an occasional seller. 122 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: I just go to these gun shows and sell tons 123 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: and tons of guns for profit. And that enables people 124 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: to walk in there and buy a gun without having 125 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: any kind of background check. Yeah, so if you sell guns, 126 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: you're still selling a gun. But if you say I 127 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: only do it occasionally, the government basically has to say, Okay, 128 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: well you don't need a license, and there's no requisite, 129 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: there's no definition, there's no Like you said, it's a 130 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: very great area on what constitutes occasional or who who's 131 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: required to have a federal license. But if you aren't 132 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: a federally licensed gun dealer, that means that you can 133 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: go sell a gun without doing a background check. Right, 134 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: And uh, that's the most recent stat we have. Uh, 135 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: they estimated gun owners bought their weapon within the previous 136 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: couple of years without going through a background check. It 137 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: is undoubtedly bigger now because whenever there are mass shootings, 138 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: there is a rush on buying guns in the United States. Uh, 139 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: people don't back off from buying them, they buy more 140 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: of them. So I don't know what the percentages now, 141 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: but if even if we go with that's a lot 142 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: of people buying guns without a background check. So if 143 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: you're a person who you know that you are going 144 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: to be like you're going to be flagged by the 145 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: n i c S background check, all you have to 146 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: do is find yourself a gun show, or go on 147 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: the internet and find somebody who's selling guns on the 148 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: internet and buy from an unlicensed firearm dealer, and that 149 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: that ends up. And like I said, like with background checks, 150 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: were saying, society doesn't want certain people to have We 151 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: don't we don't trust them with firearms. And one of 152 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: those people are again convicted felons. They're not legally allowed 153 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: to own a firearm in the United States after they've 154 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: been convicted of a felony, unless I believe that there um, 155 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: they are granted clemency by the president or the governor. Right. 156 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: So um, there's a kind of an unnerving stat then 157 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: that that ties into that, and that is that in 158 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: that same two thousand, fifteen Annals of Internal Medicine study, 159 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: they found that nineties of prison inmates who had been 160 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: previously prohibited from owning a gun and that that was 161 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: the gun that they used in the crime that they 162 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: were in prison for. Now they'd obtain that gun from 163 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: an unlicensed seller. And that is a big problem for 164 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 1: every law abiding citizen of these United States, right, and 165 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: every law abiding gun owner. Frankly the citizens too. That's right, 166 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: if you are a UM, if you're thinking like, well, 167 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: there should be exceptions to this, like you should be 168 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: able to hand your gun down to your child if 169 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: you're a hunter, or sell your gun to your uncle, 170 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: if you know, instead of them having to go to 171 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: a gun shop. They can do that. They have carved 172 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: out some exceptions in h R eight that still hasn't passed. UM. 173 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: Law enforcement obviously could transfer guns without background checks. Family 174 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: members could gift them to family members or sell them 175 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: to family members. You could inherit a gun without a 176 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: background check, or like in the movies, if the zombies 177 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: are coming in and you throw somebody the gun and 178 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: they go, I don't know how to use this thing, 179 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: and they say, just pointed at them and squeeze the trigger. 180 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: You can even do that, uh, and not have to, 181 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: you know, face a penalty as long as after the 182 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 1: zombies are are killed off, they say, here's your gun back. Right, 183 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: Because anybody can agree the zombies would get to you 184 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: and eat your brain during the background check process. It's 185 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: not that fast, so they carved it out, especially if 186 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: there's a ten day waiting period, which is another House 187 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: bill that might be voted on in the Senate soon 188 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: along with HR eight, Right, um, this is not And 189 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: when it comes to polling the American public, this isn't 190 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: something where it's like, oh, it's it's like fifty six 191 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: percent in favor of UH. Pole after pole comes in April. Uh, 192 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: can a PIAC University poll? Can it? PIAC? How do 193 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: you pronounce that? Can? Can a pack? Okay, it's one 194 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: of those eight nine percent of Americans favored universal or 195 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: nearly universal background checks. Pole in March from Morning consult 196 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: h including seventy seven percent of voting Republicans, and then 197 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: a gallop pole the CRIM deal, a CRIM of poles 198 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: UH found that Americans favored mandatory background checks by to seven. 199 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: The role of our elected officials is supposedly to act 200 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: on their constituents desires. But again this is not happening 201 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: because of the things that I mentioned earlier. Now and 202 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: again I think it really bears repeating. There's nothing about 203 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: closing the guns show loophole for background checks that is 204 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: taking guns from people who have guns, preventing um UH 205 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: legal law abiding citizens from buying as many guns as 206 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: they want under the law. It's simply saying we're going 207 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: to shut down this huge loophole that allows people who 208 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,719 Speaker 1: shouldn't have guns to go buy guns as many as 209 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: they like. Um, And yeah, that's just common sense, that's 210 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: extremely mainstream thinking. And it doesn't violate the constitutional rights 211 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: given by the Second Amendment in any way, shape or form. 212 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: And again it has the backing of the public. And 213 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: so again it's a it's about to go die in public. 214 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: They actually tied a blindfold around it and gave it 215 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: a last cigarette as they're shoving it out into the Senate. Um, 216 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: and it's just not going to go anywhere. But Joe 217 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: manchin Um apparently was quoted as saying he believes that 218 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: the Uvaldi shooting is going to is going to impel 219 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: the Senate to actually start cutting deals and that something 220 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: will get past, even if it's not exactly hr eight. Yeah, 221 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: I'm reading this on an hourly basis, and there are 222 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: bipartisan talks that seem promising. Uh, so we'll see, I 223 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: mean I read uh some someone in Congress was quoted 224 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: as saying, like, I've been here for many years and 225 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: I've never seen this, this genuine bar bipartisan conversation about 226 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: this in my life and my whole career. So it 227 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 1: does feel like things might be a little different now, 228 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: but yeah, we'll see. It's also possible that nothing will 229 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: change again. I know it's hard to even talk about 230 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 1: quiet Slee, and I don't think anyone is fool enough 231 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: to think that this and other gun legislation laws will 232 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: completely stop something like a mass shooting or in gun violence. 233 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: But it is something that can help curb these horrific acts. 234 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: And these these people in the Senate will have to 235 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: live with themselves for the rest of their lives if 236 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: they continue to sit on their hands. For sure, I agreed. Uh, 237 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: you got anything else, Chuck? Nothing? Well, since Chuck said nothing, 238 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: short Stuff is out. Stuff you Should Know is a 239 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: production of I Heart Radio.
