And Lord, please don't 46 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: let that be true, because that is uglier than you 47 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: can imagine. However, what's that old saying, When did Noah 48 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: build the arc before the rain? Before the rain? That's 49 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: when he built the arc. We have seen four years 50 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: of political violence, four years of political violence against Trump's supporters. No, 51 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: you don't need to go out there and return fire, 52 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: but you need to understand, as the left continues to 53 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 1: clinch down its cultural control around you, there are things 54 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: of yours they want. What's my rule? I tell you 55 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: every night, I tell you this about leftism. It is 56 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: not a political ideology. It is a religion of domination. 57 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: You see, you think they have it all right? Now, 58 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: You can make that mistake. Because I've made this mistake. 59 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: I still make it all the time. I think to myself, oh, gosh, well, 60 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: it can't get any worse. Yes it can, Yes, it can. 61 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: If you had told somebody even in nineteen ninety that 62 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: the leftists would completely take over the education system. They 63 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: probably would have said, oh, I could see that. If 64 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: you told somebody in nineteen ninety that the leftists would 65 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: take over Hollywood, they'd say, ooh, I could see that happening. Yeah. 66 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: But if you told them the leftists would worm their 67 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: way through the churches, they wouldn't believe you. If you 68 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: told them the leftists were going to work their way 69 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: through the United States military, that our own military would 70 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: be teaching diversity classes, you would they would not believe it. 71 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: They told you were crazy. I don't never happen. There 72 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: are unconquered lands out there in their minds, in your home, 73 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: and your personal protection is one of the big ones. 74 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: Look at the history books, look at every leftist who's 75 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: taken power, and the history of the world. It's not 76 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: an accident. They all took away personal firearms, all of them, 77 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: every single one of them. Because the truth is, and 78 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: this modern left is not different. Don't convince yourself you 79 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: live in more civilized That's a lie people tell themselves. 80 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: These leftists have all kinds of things they want to 81 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: do to you, all kinds of things they want to 82 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: force you to do. And the only thing, and I 83 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: mean the only thing that has stopped them from being 84 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: a lot more aggressive than they are is guns. You 85 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: don't want to talk about it, you don't want to 86 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: think about it. You certainly don't want to think about 87 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: shooting somebody. And I don't want you to think about it. 88 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: I just want you to be competent. Do you think 89 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: it's an accident. All these people are assaulted and murdered. 90 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,799 Speaker 1: All these people on the right were assaulted and murdered 91 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: over the last four years, and each and every time 92 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: it happened, it was in some big anti gun city. 93 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 1: They tried that crap one time in Austin, Texas and 94 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: there was an Antifa guy laying on the ground dead. Afterwards, 95 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: they never tried it again. I don't want you to 96 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: have to train and all your free time and become 97 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: some super soldier. I'm not saying that, but I am 98 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: asking you tonight, go get a weapon, get it legally, 99 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: learned to use it safely, learn to become competent with it. 100 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: It is the final fig leaf. It is the one 101 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: thing they're going to need to take away from all 102 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: of us before they can do all the things they 103 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: want to do. And I can't emphasize this enough, Like 104 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: I just said, our leftists here want to do all 105 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: the same things that leftists have always wanted to do. 106 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: Don't for a second believe this lie people tell you 107 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: of wh This isn't the Soviet Union, this isn't China. 108 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 1: Come on, it's Pullpox not in charge.

No, it'll be okay. It'll be 114 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: okay until they got there, and then it wasn't okay anymore. 115 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: They're always selling that thing. Don't be paredoid. What are 116 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: you talking about. We're just a little different. No, we're 117 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,239 Speaker 1: not a little different. I want to be left alone. 118 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: They want to dominate me. The only protection I have 119 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: against that is weapons. There, go get your weapon. And look, 120 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: we were about to have at all likelihood. I mean, 121 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: it looks like looks like this is where we are. 122 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: It looks like we're about to have Joe Biden's president 123 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: of the United States. Here's his own words. Why should 124 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: anyone have faith that you're the one who can get 125 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: this done now, because I'm the only one that ever 126 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: got it done nationally. I beat the NRA twice. I 127 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: got a sault weapons band, I got magazines that could 128 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: not hold more than ten rounds in them, got them eliminated. 129 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,119 Speaker 1: Except we had a thing called an election with hanging 130 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: chads in Florida, and it was not reauthorized. In addition 131 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: to that, I passed the Brady Bill with waiting periods. 132 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: I led that fight, but my friend and my right 133 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: and others have in fact also gave him to the 134 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: gun manufacturers SLEWT immunity. Imagine if I stood here and said, 135 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: we give immunity to drug companies, we give immunity tobacco companies. 136 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: That has caused Carney John Our Streets. A hundred and 137 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: fifty million people have been killed since two thousand and 138 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: seven when Bernie voted to exempt the gun manufacturer from liability, 139 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: more than all the wars, including Vietnam from that point 140 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: on Carney John Our Street. And I want to tell you, 141 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: if I'm elected and R I'm coming for you and 142 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: gun manufacturers. I'm going to take you off, and I'm 143 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: going to be I'm the only one is done it. 144 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: That's him talking. That's him talking. That's your next president 145 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: talking right there. I'm coming for you, and we're going 146 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: to talk to several experts about it on the show tonight. 147 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: Make no mistake about it. He can do damage with 148 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 1: that executive pen and who talks like that to any 149 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: private company, to any private industry. We have one hundred 150 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: and fifty million gun owners in America. He's at the 151 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: camera saying, I'm coming for the companies that provide you 152 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 1: the weapons you love. Are you ready to go buy 153 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: that weapon yet? I know what you think, Jesse. Joe 154 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: Biden's gonna last about a week there before he can't 155 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: do the job anymore. Well, here's this backup, and I 156 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: can speak about the issue of gun violence is a 157 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: national issue, and nationally there are so many areas that 158 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: we need to focus on. There is the issue of 159 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: what we need to do that is about smart gun 160 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: safety law, and that means having background checks, just asking 161 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: the question about whether someone has been convicted of a 162 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: violent felonade before we allow them to purchase a gun. 163 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: Things like that. We need to make sure that we 164 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: are also dealing with the impact of gun violence on communities. 165 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,839 Speaker 1: It exacts so much trauma on a community, most of 166 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: which we do not diagnose and treat. There is what 167 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: we need to do. That is about realizing that in 168 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: so many communities where you see these high rates of 169 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: violence are also the communities where there's low homeownership, where 170 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: there are underfunded public schools, things of that nature. So 171 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: all of these things need to happen in addition to 172 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: making sure that there are the resources to investigate those 173 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: cases and make sure that there's going to be a 174 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: consequence and accountability. Not very comforting, is it. And part 175 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: of me thinks to myself, look, we have this coming. 176 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: If we aren't smart enough to keep Donald Trump and 177 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: elect these people fairly or otherwise, that we deserve what's coming. 178 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: Well on a macro level of society wide, that may 179 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: be true, but I know this. I don't want you 180 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: to be hurt. I want you to be safe. I 181 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: want me to be safe. I want my family to 182 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: be safe. And there's a reason democrats are constantly trying 183 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: to disarm you. There is a reason all that may 184 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: have made you uncomfortable, But I'm right. We have a 185 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: packed show for you tonight. We got gun experts across 186 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: the board. What's Joe Biden want to do? What can 187 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: he do? That's really the question, right what can he do? Well? 188 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna find out tonight. Coming up next joining me 189 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: now from bearing Arms dot com, Cam Edwards Cam. Were 190 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: you ever a bartender when you were younger? I was 191 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: thinking about that movie Cocktail earlier, when he's doing all 192 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: the bottle flipping Thingi's and pouring the drinks and stuff 193 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 1: like that. I always thought that would be cool. I 194 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: think I could do that. I have good hands. You 195 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: would be a great bartender. No, I never was a bartender, 196 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: always kind of wanted to be. My actually sent my 197 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: oldest son to bartender in school so so he can 198 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: make a good drink. But my very first job was 199 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: at the snack bar at a bowling out, so I 200 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: was actually serving pictures of beer when I was fifteen. 201 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 1: I'm not supposed to do that, but I think the 202 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: statue of limitations has run out, so I can finally 203 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: admit that, yes, I was pouring drinks, but I wouldn't 204 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: call myself a bartender. Of course. You know what underrated 205 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: is a bowling alley cheeseburger. For some reason, those things 206 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: tend to deliver. But all right, camp guns. How radical 207 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: is Joe Biden on guns? Not? How radical will he go? 208 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: What is his actual history before we find out how 209 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: radical he'll go? Well, I mean, look, he is the 210 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: architect of the Biden gun Band, which was in effect 211 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: from nineteen ninety four to two thousand and four, banned 212 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 1: the most commonly sold centerfire rivals in America. You know, 213 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 1: the guns that Biden declared to be so called the 214 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: soul weapons. But you can also look at his own 215 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: campaign website. In his words, Biden describes the Second Amendment 216 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 1: as limited. He wants to again ban so called the 217 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: soul weapons, the most commonly sold right in America today. 218 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: Wants to ban so called large capacity magazines, any magazine 219 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: that would be over ten rounds of ammunition. It's essiated 220 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: by the way Jesse that there are about one hundred 221 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: and fifty million magazines in this country that would meet 222 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: that definition. They're about twenty million firearms that would meet 223 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: Biden's definitions. So we're talking about going after, you know, 224 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: items that are that most gun owners have. Those are 225 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: the items that Joe Biden wants to ban if we 226 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: don't turn them into the government we're supposed to register 227 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 1: them with the government. We're supposed to pay a tax 228 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: on every one of those items to the government. And 229 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: that's really just the beginning of Biden's anti gun history 230 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: and his anti gun agenda. Well, I just want to 231 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: be clear, CAM for everybody on video right now. I 232 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: don't have any of those magazines in my house, and 233 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: I certainly don't have a large supply of them, Cam, 234 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: do you You know what I do, Jesse, And I'm 235 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: not giving them up. We're not going to go into 236 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: a voting accident. I'm not going to fall into the river. 237 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: I'll say right here, right now that I do own 238 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: items that Joe Biden wants to ban, and I'm not 239 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 1: turning them over. I have no plans on registering them 240 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: with the government. If they want to come and get me, 241 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 1: then come and get me, But they're not going to 242 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: get my guns. CAM. A new president, assuming and I'm 243 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: doing a big assumption right now, but assuming Joe Biden 244 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: has sworn in, a new president only has so much 245 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: political capital for whatever his hot button issues are. People 246 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: remember Obama went all in on Obamacare and got that 247 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: piece of crap passed, but he really didn't get another 248 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: thing past the rest of his presidency, used up all 249 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: his political capital, lost the House because of it. I mean, 250 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: you get, you get one big one or a couple 251 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: of small ones. Do you think guns are enough of 252 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: a passion for Joe Biden that he goes after them hard? 253 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: Yes and no. I think that they are a passion 254 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: for Biden. I do think he's going to go after 255 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: him hard. I think the makeup of Congress is going 256 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: to make it very tough for him, at least in 257 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: the first two years if he becomes president, to enact 258 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: that legislative agenda. But we're already seeing signs. I mean, look, 259 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: Healthy Human Services Secretary. Biden is named California Attorney General 260 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: Javier Basara to be the Health and Human Services Secretary. 261 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: This is a guy without any medical experience whatsoever. He's 262 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: the attorney general of California, but Biden is putting him 263 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,119 Speaker 1: in the cabinet, probably as a stop to planned parenthood. 264 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: But it also has to be noted that, you know, 265 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: Bassia's got a long anti gun history. Health in Human 266 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: Services they control a lot of federal funding dollars for 267 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: anti gun research, so you know, we're watching the administrative 268 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: moves from Joe Biden. We know that the Biden transition 269 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: team is already reaching out to the ATF. For example, 270 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: we know that Biden has talked about banning the importation 271 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: of so called the soul weapons through administrative action, and 272 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: I think that Biden is planted on weaponizing the ATF 273 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: and using that agency to who everything is like AAR 274 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: style pistols, to go after eighty percent receivers and frames, 275 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: unfinished firearms, and can control lavocate's called ghost guns. Biden 276 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: is going to try to do whatever he can, I think, administratively, 277 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: and that's where he's gonna, I think, have the most 278 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: room to maneuver. Quite frankly, how much damage can he 279 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: do without a law being passed to maybe not somebody hardcore, 280 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: maybe not to Cam Edwards, but to the average gun owner. 281 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: Maybe he has an AAR fifteen one, maybe he has 282 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: a couple of pistols laying around with some magazine. Can 283 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: he do any damage without a law to that guy? Sure? Absolutely, 284 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: you know, I mean obviously, again, you look at the 285 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: power that the ATF has to determine what items are. 286 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: And I don't want to get too far in the 287 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: weeds here, but already we're starting to see the ATF 288 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: go after things like pistol stabilizing braces. Now, again, maybe 289 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: new gun owners don't know what these things are, but 290 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: they're pretty common on AAR style pistols. They're about three 291 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: or four million of these firms that are lawfully owned 292 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: in the country today that Biden could go after try 293 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: to turn the existing owners of these guns into felons 294 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: if they don't register their items under the National Firearm SAG. 295 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: And then you look at the effort that I think 296 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: Biden will try to engage in in terms of pushing 297 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: state level gun laws. So on his campaign website, you 298 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: can see that Biden wants to give grants DOJ grants 299 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: to states to implement Massachusetts style gun licensing laws, basically 300 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: where a police chief has to sign off and say 301 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: I think that person is suitable to own a gun 302 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: now that they've got the right to own a gun, 303 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: now that they've passed a background check, but that they're 304 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: suitable based on that police chief's own personal decision as 305 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: to whether or not that person gets to exercise their 306 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: segment rights. Those are the types of things that Biden 307 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: wants to put in place. He knows Again, it's gonna 308 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: be difficult for him to do that at the federal level, 309 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: but he's going to work with his allies anywhere and 310 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: everywhere he can to restrict the Second Amendment because, again 311 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: his own words, he says the right to keep him 312 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: their arms is quote limited. He's going to do everything 313 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: he can to limit those rights, you know, forever long 314 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: hea'son office. Okay, explain for the lay person. We like 315 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: to educate people on this show cameras. You know, I'm 316 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: highly highly educated myself. Explain what a pistol brace is. 317 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: So a pistol brace, it's basically it attaches to your forearm. 318 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: If you've got an aer style pistol. These are you know, 319 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: these are not concealed handguns. These are big handguns, and 320 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 1: a lot of folks will actually strap a braise onto 321 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: their forearm that will help stabilize that pistol while they're 322 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: shooting it. The ATF has taken the position that in 323 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: some cases out in every case because these stabilizing braces 324 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: are actually the stock of a firearm, and when you 325 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: use that gun, if you would actually could it up 326 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 1: to your shoulder, that would turn the gun just you 327 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: the act of raising it to your shoulder, would turn 328 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: that firearm from a pistol to what the ATF designates 329 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: as any other weapon or a short barreled rifle, both 330 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: of which designations fall under the preview of the National 331 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: Firearms Act of nineteen thirty four. So again, what's a 332 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: gun owner to do? What's a gun manufacturer to do? 333 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: If they're trying to figure out what's legal what's not, 334 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: the ATF can make it as fuzzy and as vague 335 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: as they possibly can, and that throws as many people 336 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 1: as possible in the legal jeopardy for using the firearms 337 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: that they currently own. Cam why do we have an 338 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: at F? Where did this thing come from? I asked 339 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: myself that question quite a lot. Jesse. So the ATF 340 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: was originally a part of the Department of Treasury. They 341 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,360 Speaker 1: moved it over to Department of Justice and the leave 342 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: after the Gun Control Act of nineteen sixty eight. This 343 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: is the brew of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms. So it's 344 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: not just an agency that goes after guns. Who knows, 345 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: maybe it'll be the ATF M if we, you know, 346 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: de criminalize marijuana. I don't know if they're going to 347 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: add to it. It is an institution that I think 348 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: has been ripe with abuse and really you know, anti 349 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: gun attitudes for decades. I was, you know, looking back 350 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: at the Trump administry, I'm a little disappointed that President 351 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: Trump did not nominate a permanent director of the ATF, 352 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: who would have then had the purview and the authority 353 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: to shut that agency down. But we didn't get that, 354 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: and so instead, you know, career bureaucrats remain in charge 355 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: of that agency, and again, I think they're just going 356 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: to play hell with gun owners over the next couple 357 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: of years. Well, I didn't Trump do it. It's a 358 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: good question. I honestly, I don't know. I mean, the 359 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: ATF it may have been a policy of benign neglect. 360 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: Let's just ignore it and you know, maybe it'll atrophy 361 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: and they won't be able to do much. If that 362 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: was the calculation, I think it was a miscalculation because again, 363 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: for most of the ATF's time during the Trump administration, 364 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: they've been okay, they haven't raised a lot of eyebrows, 365 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: haven't caused a lot of headlines. But started about a 366 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: year ago, maybe even more than that, maybe aout a 367 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: year and a half ago, they started making these moves 368 00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: and making it pretty clear that the anti gun administrators, 369 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 1: those who are again the career bureaucrats, were either planning 370 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 1: on a Joe Biden victory, they were assuming that it 371 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: was going to happen, or they just decided, you know what, 372 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna take the mask off and we're gonna start 373 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: doing some things that the Trump administration has objected to. 374 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 1: The Trump administration has come back and said, listen, don't 375 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: do this, and the ATV is basically slow walked, you know, 376 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: any compliance with the administration because they know now that 377 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: they're living on borrow time. If they can hold out 378 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: until Biden gets an office, is gonna be a whole 379 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: new day for him. Dam Edwards bearing Arms dot Com, 380 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: Thank you, brother, I was a pleasure. Jesse all right, 381 00:21:40,119 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 1: we'll be back what I mean now from red State 382 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: dot com and also a co host of The Red 383 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: and Black Show. Jeff Charles, Jeff, guns are one of 384 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: those things that make people who aren't familiar with them uncomfortable. 385 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: I noticed it when I first got married. My wife 386 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: didn't grow up around them. She'd see one of mine 387 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: laying on the table, and she genuinely thought that thing 388 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: was just gonna go off is what is the problem 389 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: we have in this country? Just the naivete about them, 390 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's just a yeah, it's a 391 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: lack of education. I mean, I've seen videos with people 392 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: who really support the First Amendment interact with people who 393 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: don't really know much about guns and are afraid of them, 394 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,959 Speaker 1: like you said, and very much for a gun control 395 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: But once they get more educated about what gun control 396 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: is and what guns actually are, and you know, when 397 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: they're more educated on the subject than they're less afraid 398 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: of it, they may not They still may not choose 399 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: to own a gun themselves. But I think this is 400 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: one of those issues where once the education is there, 401 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 1: you don't really need to persuade a whole lot. Now 402 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: the other person actually knows what's going on, they understand 403 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: how guns work, and common sense kind of kicks in. 404 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's it's not even tape, but 405 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: I think it's really just a lack of education. Jeff. 406 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: The Republican Party's messaging on guns, well, I despise it. Now. 407 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: I know that's unsurprising because I despise many things about 408 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: the Republican Party, but I feel like we give up 409 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: ground to the left and do that well. I also 410 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: like hunting and fishing thing. The Second Amendment had nothing 411 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 1: to do with hunting deer, er, nothing whatsoever. And I 412 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: don't understand why we feel like you have to message 413 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: things that way or am I wrong? No, I don't 414 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 1: think you're wrong. I mean, and I also I don't 415 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: necessarily think there's anything wrong with bringing up hunting and fishing. 416 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: But when that's it, then you're not really you're not 417 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: really delving into what the Second Amendment was really about. 418 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: The Second Amendment was about pushing back against the government 419 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: when it becomes too intrusive, and I think a lot 420 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 1: of times we get afraid of going there because we 421 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: sound like conspiracy theorists. I mean, I think I think 422 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: we might be concerned that people might think that we're 423 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: saying that the government is plotting to oppress us and 424 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: that we're back in seventeen seventy six. But the reality 425 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: is that this is supposed to be a check on 426 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 1: the government. So if you put it a certain way, 427 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: you don't sound crazy. I mean, now, to people on 428 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: the far left, you're always going to sound crazy when 429 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: you criticize the government, because they believe that the government 430 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: is the source of everything great in the world. But 431 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: to people who don't, I think it makes sense to 432 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: talk about the possibility that if the wrong people get 433 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: into power, they might use that power to crack down 434 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: on our rights, and we need to be able to 435 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: defend ourselves. So I think I see nothing wrong with 436 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: messaging it that way, because it is it is a 437 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: very real possibility. We see what happens in other countries. 438 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: The stuff doesn't happen overnight. So I see nothing wrong 439 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: with talking about how it helps to reserve our liberty 440 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 1: and yes allows us to hunt and fish, and it 441 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: allows us to defend ourselves. Where do you think, where 442 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: do you see the Republican Party having consistently screwed up 443 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: with this messaging over the decades, ten twenty years. Where 444 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: have we really missed the mark? Well? I mean, I 445 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: mean the Republican Party has a messaging messaging problem overall. 446 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: So I think a lot of it is in what 447 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: you've said, but I think it's really in not holding 448 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: our ground and really explaining to people what the Second 449 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: Amendment is really about. Like I said, the Second Amendment 450 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 1: to me is a really different animal, because, like I said, 451 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: you don't have to do a whole lot of persuasion. 452 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: If you educate people, and if you focus on educating 453 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: the populace on people who are literally about guns, you're 454 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: going to automatically win people over. On top of that, 455 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: we haven't really delved into the history of the gun 456 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: control movement and how it's affected minorities. I mean that 457 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: that's the left favorite thing to talk about, and yet 458 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: they push for a legislation that makes it harder for 459 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 1: black men and black women to depend themselves. So I 460 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: think not only educating on how guns work and how 461 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: the Second Amendment were, but we need to do better. 462 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: And this is one of those few areas right. I 463 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 1: think we need to point out how the left is 464 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: wrong and how what and how their ideas are dangerous 465 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: when it comes to this issue. How has it hurt 466 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: black people? I know this was one of those things 467 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: during those Black Lives Matter riots where where people would 468 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 1: put up these videos online of a bunch of black 469 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: men walking down the street armed as if someone was 470 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: going to care. I've never cheered so loud in my life. 471 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,199 Speaker 1: I want everybody in society armed. That's all fine by me, 472 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: But apparently a lot of people out of major problem 473 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: with it. How has the left hurt them? Yeah, I 474 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: mean the very origins of gun control was specifically designed 475 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: to keep weapons out of the hands of freed black slaves. 476 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: But you fast forward into now and you look at 477 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: like a Joe Biden's plan, which, by the way, if 478 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: the Washington Post is willing to put out an article 479 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: criticizing your plan on guns, you're probably doing something wrong. 480 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: I mean they say that he even he goes too far. Basically, 481 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: the way they do it now is they put so 482 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: many restrictions on gun ownership, and they make it so 483 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 1: expensive to own weapons that people that the people who 484 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: are poor or middle class, it's hard for them to 485 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: afford to own one. This isn't just at the federal level. 486 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 1: This is even at the city level. I mean local Chicago, Philadelphia. 487 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: They put so many different fees on it that the 488 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 1: only people who actually own guns are people who are 489 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: more well off. So who does this inadvertently effect? It 490 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: affects people in Chicago who might need to have that protection, 491 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 1: but they can't afford to pay for all the regulations 492 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: and the rules involved in getting a weapon. And under 493 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: Biden's plan, if he succeeds, people who already own guns 494 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: will have to pay even more to register them with 495 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: the government. I mean, and his plan covers what he 496 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: calls assault weapons, but by his definition, that can cover handguns, shotguns, 497 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: they can cover rifles. They are fifteens. So that the 498 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 1: way they make it harder for black people to get 499 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: guns now is by putting so many different fees and 500 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 1: fines and what have you that if they're going to 501 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: own a gun, they have to do it illegally. And 502 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: guess what if they get caught, that makes it even 503 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 1: harder for them to own a gun. Jeff, what is 504 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: the problem in Chicago? So not to change the subject 505 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: out the guns, but what is the problem there? People 506 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: love to hold up Chicago and their murder numbers and 507 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: it's a disaster. Is it just as simple as Chicago 508 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: is a central drug hub used by the cartels and 509 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 1: therefore the street gangs fight over that. Is that? Is 510 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: it just that simple? I think that's part of it. 511 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: But I mean, if you look at any major city, Chicago, Baltimore, DC. 512 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 1: This isn't always very popular on the right, But the 513 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: main problem is that the Democrats have a lack of competition. 514 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: They have no incentive to do better for the residents 515 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: who live in those cities of Baltimore. People Baltimore as well, 516 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: their governments are corrupt. I've spoken with candidates who run 517 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: at the local level mills in those cities, and they're 518 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: just full of corruption and the government, well, their local 519 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: governments will pretend that they care, but in reality they 520 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: don't want to do anything about it at any of 521 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: this that they're not really going to crack down on 522 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: crime because they don't really have to do anything. Now, 523 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: if they had actual competition from the GOP, then they'd 524 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: either lose or they'd be forced to actually implement policies 525 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: that would make a difference even beyond crime and when 526 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,959 Speaker 1: you're talking about education, economic policy. So I think that 527 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: that's really what it is. They'll they'll play the lip 528 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: service game because they know they're going to get the 529 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: votes anyway. And a lot of cases, especially in Chicago, 530 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: at the local level and at the state level, people 531 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: are running out of post. Democrats run a post they 532 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: don't even have to compat campaign. They when they're primary, 533 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: then they just coast for the rest of the election season. 534 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: So there are a lot of different factors that figure 535 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: into that, but I think that's one of the main ones. 536 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: What do we do about it? Jeff, Look, it's easy 537 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: to point fingers, but I haven't run here. It's not 538 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: like I've run here in Houston. I ran for Congress 539 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: couple of times in Arizona. It is a slog to 540 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: run for office, especially when you know, I mean you 541 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 1: pretty much know you're gonna get your You run in 542 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: an all black neighborhood in Chicago, you're going to lose 543 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: by a lot and I mean a lot. You run 544 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: as a Republican in an all black neighborhood in Chicago. 545 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: So how do we convince good people to do it 546 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 1: so we can win over time and bring our messaging there? 547 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: You know, I think a lot of it is being realistic. 548 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: And I tell Republicans all the time, I mean, this 549 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: is a marathon, not a sprint. You're not gonna win 550 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: at first. But if the GOP were to focus on 551 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: supporting candidates in areas where they can win, because believe 552 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: it or not, there are areas in some of those 553 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: cities where a Republican would have a chance, then I 554 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: think that over time we would see a difference. Again, 555 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: it's not going to happen in one or two years. 556 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: It might take five up up to ten years to 557 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: actually make inroads in these cities. But I think the 558 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: key is to really focus on areas where a Republican 559 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: candidate would have a much better shot of beating that incumbent, 560 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: and the more and the more Republicans show up and 561 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: actually support the candidates who show up, that that in 562 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: that way, the Republicans can kind of rebuild the trust 563 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: that the black community used to have in the goop. 564 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: How they lose that trust That might take me a 565 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: while to explain, but I'm again it's not very popular, 566 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: but it started right after Reconstruction. It started from Reconstruction 567 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: and up until now. I mean, if you look at 568 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: the Lily white movement that came up in the Republican Party, 569 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: that movement is very inconvenient for the Republican Party, but 570 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: they was specifically designed to alienate black voters so that 571 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: they can focus on other voters in the South. So 572 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: when they started kicking literally kicking out black Republicans in 573 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: the South who helped to build the party, then it 574 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: started there. It continued on and there were always people 575 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: on the in the Republican Party who we're trying to 576 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: fight to stay true to their roots. But over that time, 577 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: and then you go up to the sixties where they yes, 578 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: they did vote for civil rights legislation. But then Goldwater 579 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: came on the scene. And again this won't be popular again, 580 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 1: but gold Water basically put the knife in the heart 581 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: of GOP outreach to the black community. He very explicitly 582 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: said that he's not going to try to win over 583 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: black voters because it's not worth it. He wouldn't support 584 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: civil rights legislation in that time, and he got six 585 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: percent of the black vote, and since then, I don't 586 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: think any Republican presidential candidate has gotten over fifteen percent 587 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: of the black vote. But it wasn't just at the 588 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: presidential level. A lot of the people who followed him 589 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: had that same approach at the local and state level. 590 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: So at a certain period they kind of just gave 591 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: up and surrendered the black vote to the Democrats. And 592 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: so there's actually a lot more to that, but I'm 593 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: just giving you the thumbnail version of it. But that's 594 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: essentially what happened. That Democrats were willing to offer certain things, 595 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: and that a lot of them were leftist policies, and 596 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: black people went from because the Republicans wouldn't offer anything 597 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: to compete with that. So yeah, I'm glad you did. 598 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: I find it interesting you know what happened on again 599 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: next week because I want to talk about this with you. 600 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: Jeff Charles always has something to say. Thank you, my man. 601 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: I appreciate you. No problem, you have a good one. 602 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: Good We'll be back joining me now. Adam Krout he's 603 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: direct the director of legal strategy for the Firearms Policy Coalition. Adam, 604 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: I hear people on the right say all the time 605 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: when they talk about the things the left wants to 606 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: do about guns, that's against the law. It's against the law. 607 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: They can't do that, it's against the constitution. Is its 608 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: Do we still have that kind of protection anymore with 609 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: all the precedent that's out there? Oh? Absolutely? When the 610 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 1: courts get it right? Okay, well, which courts get it right? 611 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: Which courts get it wrong? How confident are we in 612 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: our new Supreme Court? How do we feel right now? Well, 613 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: you know, without having the new Supreme Court, with Justice 614 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 1: Barrett sitting having ruled on anything, we can only go 615 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,839 Speaker 1: on her past decisions, which would indicate that as far 616 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 1: as Second Amendment cases are concerned, you'd be looking at 617 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,359 Speaker 1: a favorable ruling. One of the biggest problems we've seen 618 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 1: since Heller was decided, and then McDonald and then you 619 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 1: have Katano after that, is that the lower courts have 620 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 1: taken the test that the Supreme Court set forth in 621 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: Heller and have more or less abandoned it. You know, 622 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: Heller said you when analyzing Second Amendment challenges, you're supposed 623 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 1: to look at the text of the Second Amendment as 624 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,839 Speaker 1: informed by the history and tradition of the country. And 625 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: a lot of times you're seeing these lower courts go, yeah, 626 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: what we're going to do, actually is we're going to 627 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: apply this two part test and then we're going to 628 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: add you know, whether it's intermediate or strict scrutiny. They 629 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 1: always go to intermediate scrutiny, almost always, and then they 630 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: water it down even further, so you get to pretty 631 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: much rational basis, which the Supreme Court set isn't even 632 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: an option. So I think we're we're optimistic that the 633 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 1: new court, with Justice Barrett, will provide a well grounded, 634 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,760 Speaker 1: well reasoned opinion that will hopefully whip the lower courts 635 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 1: in the line explained and pretend I was just born yesterday. 636 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 1: Explain the Heller decision. Explain that case to people who 637 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 1: don't understand what you're talking about. Sure, So Heller was 638 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: one of the first instances where the court looked at 639 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: the Second Amendment. You know, when you look at Second 640 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 1: Amendment ER's prudence, it's relatively young relative to First Amendment stuff. 641 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 1: And Heller was a challenge to the District of Columbia's 642 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: gun laws that required individuals to essentially that they couldn't 643 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: keep a firearm a handgun in their home for self defense. 644 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:02,760 Speaker 1: And the Court looked that and said that this is unconstitutional, 645 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:07,760 Speaker 1: and for the first time actually stated that the right 646 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 1: to keep and bear arms was not solely in relation 647 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,399 Speaker 1: to the militia, wasn't a collective right as had been 648 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 1: argued previously, but that it was an individual right that you, I, 649 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,479 Speaker 1: any of us possesses individuals and separate and apart from 650 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,719 Speaker 1: the militia, which is what everybody would try to lump 651 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: it in as well. This is only applicable to the 652 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,720 Speaker 1: militia itself. So when we look at the history of 653 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: the right, and this goes back to ancient well, I 654 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: guess technically not ancient times, but the early thirteenth fourteenth 655 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: century in Europe, and the decision, if you read it, 656 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 1: actually traces the history of this idea of individuals being 657 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,919 Speaker 1: able to bear arms for defense of themselves and their 658 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: homes and how that was used in society all the 659 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: way through Cologne, America and up into the present current day. 660 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 1: So Heller essentially the mean gis a Heller is that 661 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 1: you have an individual right to keep and bear arms 662 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 1: for the purposes of self defense. It's unconnected to the 663 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 1: militia claus in the Second Amendment. Um and that um. 664 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,880 Speaker 1: That's I mean, that was pretty much the gist of it. 665 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 1: We're here leftist stock all the time speaking of the 666 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,720 Speaker 1: militia claws since you brought it up. You're here leftist 667 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,800 Speaker 1: stock all the time about that that has not that 668 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 1: to do with you owning a weapon. That's about a militia. 669 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 1: Would you please elaborate on what they were talking about. Well, yeah, So, 670 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 1: the the idea that the argument that it has to 671 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 1: do with the militia, not you, is that you could 672 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,319 Speaker 1: be called up as part of the militia service in 673 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,400 Speaker 1: defense of the state or the country, and that would 674 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: be the mechanism for which you would be able to 675 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: bear arms, and that it wasn't for you as an 676 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 1: individual to you know, have a firearm in your home 677 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,840 Speaker 1: to defend your home against you know, a potential intruder, 678 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 1: or carry a firearm in public to defend yourself against 679 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,880 Speaker 1: potential harm from you know, a robber or somebody who 680 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,239 Speaker 1: was looking to do you harm something like that. Um, 681 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,280 Speaker 1: well doesn't it also, I mean, weren't they really talking 682 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: about defending yourself against the government. Didn't Jefferson elaborate on 683 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: you being the whole people as the militia, each and 684 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,319 Speaker 1: every person as part of it. Well, yes, I see 685 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,839 Speaker 1: where you're going with this. Yeah, and that was that 686 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 1: was part of it was to you know, the idea 687 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: was to protect yourself against a tyrannical government. You have 688 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 1: to remember at the time when the country was founded, 689 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 1: we had just fought a war against a king. Uh. 690 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 1: And and that was you know, we also dealt with 691 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 1: as colonial colonists, uh, you know, the crown trying to 692 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 1: disarm individuals who were seemingly unloyal to the crown or 693 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:59,439 Speaker 1: those who were openly uh you know, rebelling against it. So, yeah, 694 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:04,320 Speaker 1: the militia would be also for that purpose. Why is 695 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 1: this so hard to find ammunition? Right now in this country. 696 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,280 Speaker 1: I obviously have some, a very small amount for anybody watching, 697 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,879 Speaker 1: but I have some, and I can't seem to find more. 698 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,200 Speaker 1: Why why the m O shortage? Well, I think there's 699 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:20,279 Speaker 1: a number of different reasons. You have COVID, which was 700 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 1: you know, started, and that led to a rise of 701 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,800 Speaker 1: people being concerned for their safety. So there was a 702 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,919 Speaker 1: number of first time gun purchasers. There was a lot 703 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,800 Speaker 1: of people who have already owned firearms that we're starting 704 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: to buy things. Then you had the riots that were occurring, 705 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,240 Speaker 1: the assaults, crime, things like that, so that also added 706 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 1: contributed to more people buying guns and ammunition. And when 707 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,799 Speaker 1: you take all that into consideration, the number of first 708 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 1: time purchasers, you look at the number of Nick's background 709 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,399 Speaker 1: checks that have been conducted month by month. I think 710 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,400 Speaker 1: this month was the first time, if I saw the 711 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 1: report correctly, that it actually went down this year a 712 00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: little bit, but it was still like the one of 713 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 1: the highest overall. You know, it's just you have a 714 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 1: number of people buying guns, and guns need ammunition. Be 715 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: it you know, first time gun buyer who buys a 716 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 1: box of fifty and sticks it under the bed, or 717 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,720 Speaker 1: somebody who's buying cases of ammunition to create an AMMO 718 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 1: for it, Adam Crowd, thank you so much, man. I 719 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 1: appreciate you, my man. You're welcome. Have a good day, 720 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 1: you two, all right, we'll be back. Do you buy 721 00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 1: that gun yet? I'm kidding. I know you were watching 722 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,279 Speaker 1: the show. Get up tomorrow, go with the fan down 723 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 1: there if you're If you're nervous about it, I understand 724 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 1: you might be nervous about it. When I first met 725 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,480 Speaker 1: my wife, you could never held a weapon. She used 726 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,960 Speaker 1: to look at it, horrified at the various weapons I 727 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 1: have around the house.
