Speaker 1: Hut Thursday, June twenty, third edition of the program. Big
Speaker 1: Supreme Court decision comes down today, and it is a
Speaker 1: major win for the Second Amendment and for gun rights.
Speaker 1: The right to bear arms shall not be infringed, my friends,
Speaker 1: that's not something we can say quite yet because it's
Speaker 1: being infringed all the time. But to keep in bear arms,
Speaker 1: we've certainly made progress in that direction. We will discuss
Speaker 1: this pivotal case and how it affects the home state
Speaker 1: of yours truly and perhaps now clears the way for
Speaker 1: me to be a New York legal handgun owner. Oh
Speaker 1: look at that, wouldn't that be interesting? We will discuss
Speaker 1: this in just a moment. If you have to wear
Speaker 1: a suit and tie, or if you just want to
Speaker 1: look sharp, look slick, look like you know what you're
Speaker 1: doing when you're out there at dinner, out at a party,
Speaker 1: you've got to wear shoes that pull it all together.
Speaker 1: But you don't want to have uncomfortable feet. I hate
Speaker 1: uncomfortable feet. I just won't do it. That's why you
Speaker 1: need Wolf and Shepherd. This is a dress shoe made
Speaker 1: and worn by athletes first and foremost, and they've figured
Speaker 1: out hold on, it feels like sneakers on our feet.
Speaker 1: And now everyone's getting on the Wolf and Shepherd train.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. This is footwear for people who want to
Speaker 1: look like they're wearing a dress shoe but feel like
Speaker 1: they're in a sneaker. I know that sounds crazy, right,
Speaker 1: How is it even possible it is? I've owned Wolf
Speaker 1: and Shepherd shoes for years now. I was a Wolf
Speaker 1: and Shepherd shoe owner and wore them all the time
Speaker 1: before they're even a sponsor on my program Wolf and
Speaker 1: Shepherd Friends. You need to check them out. Try the Crossover,
Speaker 1: that's their most popular shoe. But I've got three of
Speaker 1: their shoes. They're all fantastic. Can encourage you enough. Go
Speaker 1: check it out Wolf and Shepherd dot com. That's Wolf
Speaker 1: and Shepherd sh E p h E r D Wolf
Speaker 1: and Shepherd dot com. Oh, it's a good day for
Speaker 1: the Second Amendment. Yes, it is New York State Rifle
Speaker 1: and Pistol Association. The Brewin Superintendent of New York State
Speaker 1: police in a massive six three decision drop down, like
Speaker 1: freedom from the Heavens for your firearm carrying purposes. The
Speaker 1: New York State May issue Regimen has been slapped down.
Speaker 1: The notion that you should have to demonstrate proper cause.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's the phrase they were using. A special
Speaker 1: need for you to have a handgun in the state
Speaker 1: of New York has been overturned, my friends. And it's
Speaker 1: not just for New York because this is obviously Supreme
Speaker 1: Court case. This now applies to all of the lib
Speaker 1: anti Second Amendment zones that are statewide, like Hawaii, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts, California,
Speaker 1: New York. Oh, yes, they are in violation of the Constitution. Now,
Speaker 1: if you are a person of you know, necessary legal standing,
Speaker 1: no criminal background, if you meet the basic requirements and
Speaker 1: you want a handgun, they're gonna have to say, Okay,
Speaker 1: you can have a handgun legally in these states and
Speaker 1: carry it concealed in these states. That's the way it's
Speaker 1: got to be, right. Because there there had been a
Speaker 1: Heller dealt with dcv. Heller years ago, dealt with the
Speaker 1: can you own a gun at all? A handgun at
Speaker 1: all at a place like Washington, DC or Chicago. And
Speaker 1: the answer the Supreme Court came back with was, yeah,
Speaker 1: you have to be able to own a gun. Now, oh,
Speaker 1: it's can you have a carry permit? Can you have
Speaker 1: a carry permit in these places? And the answer is, well,
Speaker 1: if you are a person who has not had some
Speaker 1: problem with the law, if you're a person who has
Speaker 1: met the necessary statutory requirements, you have to be able
Speaker 1: to be given a carry permit for self defense. Not okay,
Speaker 1: maybe you can have a gun, but you have to
Speaker 1: have it in three lock boxes and have it locked
Speaker 1: deep in your basement, and you have to have a
Speaker 1: fingerprint scanner to get to the lock box and a
Speaker 1: lock on the gun. That's real stuff that they had.
Speaker 1: I mean, not all of it, but some of that.
Speaker 1: In New York it was absurd. Sorry, you can't have
Speaker 1: a gun. One of my favorite parts of this decision
Speaker 1: is in the Alito concurrent separate Algal concurrence, where he
Speaker 1: points out it's he takes a shot so to speak.
Speaker 1: At the other side. He says, you know these lib
Speaker 1: dissenters here, of course you know who they are. So
Speaker 1: to my Orchagan and Brier, they're all, oh, we don't
Speaker 1: want you to have guns. Guns are so scary. There
Speaker 1: are lots of guns in New York, lots and lots
Speaker 1: thousands of handguns. People are arrested for, not even just
Speaker 1: the ones that are I mean, there's more than that.
Speaker 1: There's probably ten times that number, one hundred times that
Speaker 1: number circulating in New York and its environs, but well,
Speaker 1: maybe a hundred times a lot. But there's there's clearly
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of them illegally in circulation in New
Speaker 1: York City alone. And New York City decides that it's
Speaker 1: a gun free zone effectively, and the only people who
Speaker 1: can get a carry permit are connected people that have
Speaker 1: a little bit of a wink and a nod from
Speaker 1: the police department in city Hall. I'm sorry. That's not
Speaker 1: the way it's supposed to be. That's not actually what
Speaker 1: the Constitution lays out, and that's not how individual rights
Speaker 1: are supposed to function. It's really, on the one hand,
Speaker 1: it's a great victory. On the other hand, it's astonishing
Speaker 1: that these these neurotic states were able to get away
Speaker 1: with this as long as they did. New York, California,
Speaker 1: you know, some of the states, not all the Vermont's
Speaker 1: been much better, for example, on guns, than New York is,
Speaker 1: or than Massachusetts is. But you know, basically the Northeast
Speaker 1: and California had this regiment where you can't you can't
Speaker 1: carry a gun unless you can prove a special need.
Speaker 1: And the special need proving was effectively arbitrary. It's, oh, well,
Speaker 1: do you have a threat against your life, Well, then
Speaker 1: maybe we'll give you and even then they might not
Speaker 1: give it to you. The whole thing was absurd. It
Speaker 1: was absurd. But you know, Libs are like, oh, I
Speaker 1: don't want people to have guns, but they have guns.
Speaker 1: The bad guys have guns, clearly because they're committing shootings
Speaker 1: all the time. The lib descent here from the other
Speaker 1: side of the court was simply ridiculous, legally unserious. They
Speaker 1: lay out, there's all there's so much gun violence. Oh,
Speaker 1: this is what the Libs believe. If we read late
Speaker 1: more they'll be less gun violence, more regulation. Less gun
Speaker 1: violence doesn't work. They have jurisdictions like Chicago and New
Speaker 1: York City that are effectively gun free zones that are
Speaker 1: full of guns and gun violence, full of guns in
Speaker 1: the hands of criminals. Mind you, people that don't care
Speaker 1: what the state or city legislature says about their possession
Speaker 1: of firearms, and they prey upon people who are left defenseless.
Speaker 1: They prey upon people who have to say, oh, well,
Speaker 1: maybe I'll call the cops. I gotta tell you, after
Speaker 1: what everybody saw in uv all day, and I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: but we now know beyond doubt what the police response
Speaker 1: in Uval day, from the command level down to that
Speaker 1: hallway where they were stacked up with rs and ballistic
Speaker 1: shields was appalling. Appalling. You're gonna trust the police to
Speaker 1: get there in time when some hardened criminal breaks into
Speaker 1: your home. You're gonna trust the police to show up
Speaker 1: and do the right thing when there's a moment that
Speaker 1: you could end up losing your life or your family
Speaker 1: could end up losing their lives over now, I don't
Speaker 1: think so. You should at least have the option. You
Speaker 1: should at least have the chance to be able to
Speaker 1: protect yourself. Now, the Supreme Court decision here again, New
Speaker 1: York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruin, It's fascinating
Speaker 1: just in terms of all the history that it goes into.
Speaker 1: Now the Libs try to make this argument of oh,
Speaker 1: but look at this time, whether there was some prohibition
Speaker 1: on open carry or look at this time. And they're
Speaker 1: going back hundreds of years in this English common law,
Speaker 1: they even go back the medieval period. But you know
Speaker 1: what's fascinating about it is one the history of this stuff,
Speaker 1: and I mean this in general is just really interesting.
Speaker 1: But also yeah, that's right. When you have illegitimate or
Speaker 1: authoritarian regimes. You know, a new king comes to power
Speaker 1: in the UK, or there's some war between factions in England,
Speaker 1: and you know what they try to do control who
Speaker 1: has weapons. When there is an authoritarian, when there's a
Speaker 1: tyrant in charge, you know what they always want to do,
Speaker 1: make sure that only their people, their side, can have weapons.
Speaker 1: And it's the most basic understanding of politics you can have. Right. Ultimately,
Speaker 1: this stuff all rests on force. The state at some
Speaker 1: level is an attempt at a monopoly on violence, and
Speaker 1: the state, when it is in the hands of a tyrant,
Speaker 1: wants to eliminate any possibility of a check on that violence. Ah.
Speaker 1: But that's why we have the Second Amendment. This is
Speaker 1: the genius of the founders. This is what they understood
Speaker 1: from really knowing the history of England and Europe. And
Speaker 1: the whole world for that matter. People in power don't
Speaker 1: want anyone questioning their power, and they want to stay
Speaker 1: in power, and they want to do whatever they want
Speaker 1: to do. They want to pursue their whims, they want
Speaker 1: to oppress, they want to enrich them selves, and they
Speaker 1: want to destroy anybody who stands in their way. That's
Speaker 1: the nature of concentrated power. Well, when you have all
Speaker 1: the swords, or you have all the knives, or you
Speaker 1: have all the guns, etc. Pretty easy to do, that,
Speaker 1: isn't it. But when you don't know, when you send
Speaker 1: in your agents of the state into you know, seventeenth
Speaker 1: century England, to take somebody in chains, torture them and
Speaker 1: have them executed for being an enemy of the state. Well,
Speaker 1: if they are armed, if their household members are armed,
Speaker 1: perhaps their household guard, or just people that are in
Speaker 1: the neighborhood who see the tyranny, what can they do
Speaker 1: in response to this? A whole lot more? And that's
Speaker 1: the point. Now, people say, oh, but the state always wins,
Speaker 1: does it? Though? The dumbest argument you'll hear often about
Speaker 1: this is well, the army has nuclear bombs. Yeah. The
Speaker 1: thing about time tyrants is they don't usually want to
Speaker 1: knooke the city they're living in and ruling over right.
Speaker 1: The thing about tyrants is that they want control and
Speaker 1: they don't want to be constantly looking over their shoulder.
Speaker 1: And that means, first of all, you turn an entire
Speaker 1: population against you if you carpet bombs your own cities,
Speaker 1: which some have done. Some have tried this in the past.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's impossible, but there's always a fighting
Speaker 1: chance for the civilians and for the oppressed if they're armed.
Speaker 1: If they're not, then they have to take it right.
Speaker 1: Then there's nothing they can really reasonably do in response
Speaker 1: to all of this. So now this means that six
Speaker 1: states are going to have to change the way that
Speaker 1: they have been infringing upon the Second Amendment for years now.
Speaker 1: This is a huge win for those of us who
Speaker 1: want I mean, I would have people asked me if
Speaker 1: I could just apply and get a carry permit in
Speaker 1: New York. Of course I would have. I would have
Speaker 1: been a law I would have owned a handgun in
Speaker 1: New York for roughly the last twenty years. I couldn't
Speaker 1: show proper cause they wouldn't give me one. They wouldn't
Speaker 1: give me one, and it wasn't worth going through. What
Speaker 1: so I could have a premise permit. Well, gee, that's
Speaker 1: gonna keep That's gonna keep me really safe, locked away
Speaker 1: in my closet with a trigger guard, a lockbox, a
Speaker 1: separate lockbox for the ammunition. That those are the regulations,
Speaker 1: by the way, so that when the burglar breaks in
Speaker 1: through your window and comes at you with a sharpened hammer,
Speaker 1: you can at least throw the lockbox with your ammo
Speaker 1: at the guy. Good luck with that. But you see
Speaker 1: in this decision and the liberal response to it, how
Speaker 1: so much of this is rooted in their own neuroses,
Speaker 1: their love of the state and its power, and their
Speaker 1: delusion that the state will keep everyone safe if only
Speaker 1: the good people in the state are in charge, and
Speaker 1: that there are no individual rights that are too sacro
Speaker 1: sank for the state to trample over. They have. This
Speaker 1: is a mentality, This is deeply rooted in the psychology
Speaker 1: of a left. They ban guns, and that means there
Speaker 1: will be no guns. Well, that's clearly not true. They
Speaker 1: will ban carrying of guns and nobody will carry them.
Speaker 1: That's clearly not true. All they do is a press
Speaker 1: and disarmed a lawbody. Well, now, at least a major
Speaker 1: blow has been struck against this, and we have to
Speaker 1: keep it. We have to keep the pressure on. We
Speaker 1: have to keep this going. And now hopefully people who
Speaker 1: believe in their constitutional rights in large numbers will get
Speaker 1: carried permits and you know what will happen. This will
Speaker 1: be the fascinating thing too. It'll take a few years,
Speaker 1: maybe five years, maybe ten. Crime will go down in
Speaker 1: many of these areas, and the Libs will say, oh right,
Speaker 1: it doesn't make any sense, or it's something else, or
Speaker 1: it's it's our policies on you know, late night basketball,
Speaker 1: or it's after school programs, or it's you know whatever
Speaker 1: that's stopping the gun violence. Well, no, criminals have a
Speaker 1: very different calculation when citizens can be armed and when
Speaker 1: they don't know changes you're feeling about how how many
Speaker 1: you know? Because remember, criminals don't commit crimes once. You
Speaker 1: have to always remember this. People who are carjackers, who
Speaker 1: are burglars, who are engaging home invasions, armed robberies, they're
Speaker 1: not looking to do this once. Once they have done it,
Speaker 1: they realize, well, I've already crossed that threshold. I'm facing
Speaker 1: perhaps even decades in prison. Now this is what I do.
Speaker 1: But it's only a matter of time before they come
Speaker 1: across somebody who is armed, who has tactical training, and
Speaker 1: who has the will to defend himself or herself in
Speaker 1: a society where the law abiding can be armed. This
Speaker 1: is a great decision. Six three. By the way, Roberts
Speaker 1: joined with the majority here. So he's a coward, but
Speaker 1: he's not an imbecile. I will give him that. And
Speaker 1: the three lives their descent is just whimpering nonsense. It's
Speaker 1: reads like it was written by some shrill you know,
Speaker 1: Moms against Guns group. It's just we're going to take
Speaker 1: away all the guns. No, you're not, actually not on
Speaker 1: our watch, not in this country, not while the constitution
Speaker 1: still exists. Thanks for hanging with me today. Team, make
Speaker 1: sure you join me on the Big Show. I'm all
