1
00:00:00,515 --> 00:00:02,680
Direct from Cape Gun works in H.

2
00:00:03,131 --> 00:00:06,223
You're listening to rapid fire radio with your

3
00:00:06,223 --> 00:00:07,491
host, Toby Lea,

4
00:00:09,261 --> 00:00:11,257
I'm Toby Lea from Cake Gun works.

00:00:11,976 --> 00:00:14,450
I'm passionate about all things second amendment.

6
00:00:15,568 --> 00:00:16,686
While I love to shoot.

7
00:00:17,419 --> 00:00:17,817
Going hot.

8
00:00:21,796 --> 00:00:23,706
There is so much more to guns than

9
00:00:23,706 --> 00:00:24,741
just pulling the trigger.

10
00:00:25,870 --> 00:00:28,517
A free in armed society is a responsible

11
00:00:28,574 --> 00:00:29,847
and self reliant 1.

12
00:00:30,483 --> 00:00:32,489
Join us to talk all things guns,

13
00:00:33,129 --> 00:00:34,809
freedom and self defense.

14
00:00:35,530 --> 00:00:37,210
It isn't just about being armed.

15
00:00:44,250 --> 00:00:46,324
It's about being responsibly armed.

16
00:00:47,919 --> 00:00:49,409
So load and make ready

17
00:00:50,087 --> 00:00:52,002
This is rapid fire.

18
00:00:55,431 --> 00:00:58,701
Welcome everybody. To rapid fire, you weekly show

19
00:00:58,701 --> 00:01:01,661
all things guns freedom second amendment and self

20
00:01:01,661 --> 00:01:01,899
defense,

21
00:01:02,536 --> 00:01:05,582
sponsored by Vortex Optics and the Us usc.

22
00:01:06,355 --> 00:01:08,677
I hope everyone's having a wonderful week. As

23
00:01:08,677 --> 00:01:10,290
am I, it's summertime.

24
00:01:10,744 --> 00:01:13,528
What's not to be happy about. Right? Well,

25
00:01:13,846 --> 00:01:16,152
we got some issues. That some kinks to

26
00:01:16,152 --> 00:01:18,083
work through some things that we gotta

27
00:01:18,791 --> 00:01:20,781
workout, iron out. 1 of them is, like,

28
00:01:20,861 --> 00:01:25,079
a runaway freight train, namely H4139

29
00:01:25,079 --> 00:01:27,569
and senate h. What is it? Senate at?

30
00:01:27,730 --> 00:01:28,609
21 84,

31
00:01:29,409 --> 00:01:31,189
here in Massachusetts. That is

32
00:01:31,569 --> 00:01:34,290
coming down the tracks, full steam ahead, whether

33
00:01:34,290 --> 00:01:35,569
you like it or not.

34
00:01:36,300 --> 00:01:36,697
And

35
00:01:37,412 --> 00:01:38,785
it is it is

36
00:01:39,397 --> 00:01:42,573
being debated behind closed doors by tyrant who

37
00:01:42,573 --> 00:01:43,288
wanna take away.

38
00:01:44,098 --> 00:01:45,694
Your right to keep in their arms.

39
00:01:46,491 --> 00:01:48,884
Yes, I'm talking about the conference committee that

40
00:01:48,884 --> 00:01:49,384
is

41
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,952
working behind the scenes behind closed doors. There's

42
00:01:52,952 --> 00:01:53,691
6 members

43
00:01:54,163 --> 00:01:55,519
3 from the Senate 3 from the house.

44
00:01:55,758 --> 00:01:57,694
This is a normal procedure that happens

45
00:01:58,151 --> 00:02:00,464
every day in Congress. Right? But they have

46
00:02:00,464 --> 00:02:03,256
a deadline looming, and that is July 30

47
00:02:03,256 --> 00:02:03,495
first.

48
00:02:04,941 --> 00:02:06,236
So they

49
00:02:06,690 --> 00:02:07,984
have to get this done

50
00:02:08,358 --> 00:02:10,448
and out, it's coming up on the year

51
00:02:10,584 --> 00:02:13,464
anniversary to when Michael day it if it

52
00:02:13,464 --> 00:02:15,701
isn't already a year, I can't remember exactly

53
00:02:15,701 --> 00:02:18,098
what they... He dropped this abomination on us.

54
00:02:19,216 --> 00:02:20,469
A year ago, it was

55
00:02:20,908 --> 00:02:23,856
the bill formerly known as h hd 44

56
00:02:23,856 --> 00:02:24,254
20,

57
00:02:24,892 --> 00:02:25,392
and

58
00:02:25,848 --> 00:02:26,166
they

59
00:02:27,521 --> 00:02:29,433
debated it for a little while, the public

60
00:02:29,433 --> 00:02:33,294
went nuts, called their senators, their congressman, they're

61
00:02:33,591 --> 00:02:36,060
everybody they knew, and they put it on

62
00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:37,813
hold. They pumped the brakes and said, we

63
00:02:37,813 --> 00:02:39,747
can't cram this down their throat

64
00:02:40,217 --> 00:02:40,536
yet.

65
00:02:41,650 --> 00:02:44,436
So let's punt until the fall. They made

66
00:02:44,436 --> 00:02:46,108
a couple little tweaks and thought it would

67
00:02:46,108 --> 00:02:47,222
make everybody happy.

68
00:02:47,874 --> 00:02:49,802
The Massachusetts Chiefs of police

69
00:02:50,255 --> 00:02:50,755
association

70
00:02:51,525 --> 00:02:52,263
in a

71
00:02:52,636 --> 00:02:53,509
400

72
00:02:53,509 --> 00:02:55,994
and something odd to 0

73
00:02:57,019 --> 00:02:59,893
vote said that they will not support this

74
00:02:59,893 --> 00:03:00,132
bill.

75
00:03:01,170 --> 00:03:01,670
So

76
00:03:02,208 --> 00:03:04,842
they were kinda caught with their pants down,

77
00:03:05,081 --> 00:03:05,401
and

78
00:03:06,214 --> 00:03:08,611
said, oh, jeez. Maybe we should have some

79
00:03:08,611 --> 00:03:09,111
public

80
00:03:09,650 --> 00:03:11,887
input and they had... They opened up for

81
00:03:11,887 --> 00:03:14,454
hearings at the state house. Which I attended,

82
00:03:15,091 --> 00:03:15,568
and then,

83
00:03:16,443 --> 00:03:17,238
guess what happened.

84
00:03:17,875 --> 00:03:20,341
They passed it anyway. Can you believe it?

85
00:03:20,834 --> 00:03:22,429
I know that must shock you here in

86
00:03:22,429 --> 00:03:26,360
the, here in the commonwealth of Massachusetts, but

87
00:03:26,498 --> 00:03:29,139
they did. They just they passed it anyway.

88
00:03:30,092 --> 00:03:30,807
I know. Right.

89
00:03:31,442 --> 00:03:33,824
And I promise you 1 thing. They heard

90
00:03:33,824 --> 00:03:36,445
from people who didn't want their rights infringe

91
00:03:36,445 --> 00:03:36,683
on.

92
00:03:37,494 --> 00:03:39,971
More than the red shirts who wanna come

93
00:03:39,971 --> 00:03:40,611
for your guns.

94
00:03:41,410 --> 00:03:42,289
It's the way I see it.

95
00:03:43,407 --> 00:03:43,907
But

96
00:03:44,287 --> 00:03:47,119
they they the fix was in speaker Marian

97
00:03:47,178 --> 00:03:49,496
wanted to make this his legacy on his

98
00:03:49,496 --> 00:03:51,994
way out the door. He tasked his

99
00:03:52,852 --> 00:03:55,170
main guy, you know, Michael Day,

100
00:03:55,902 --> 00:03:57,354
with this prospect

101
00:03:57,807 --> 00:03:59,259
in he's part of the

102
00:03:59,950 --> 00:04:02,831
house judiciary committee. He's the chair, the house

103
00:04:03,919 --> 00:04:06,316
judiciary. And they're gonna get this done, and

104
00:04:06,316 --> 00:04:07,985
they're gonna put it right in that committee.

105
00:04:08,223 --> 00:04:11,083
Well, the senate kinda like, guys, you know,

106
00:04:12,051 --> 00:04:13,322
wouldn't it have been good to talk to

107
00:04:13,322 --> 00:04:14,037
us about this.

108
00:04:15,308 --> 00:04:16,340
Isn't that something you do?

109
00:04:17,055 --> 00:04:19,835
You talk to the senate, Like, we're big

110
00:04:19,835 --> 00:04:20,867
gun control guys do.

111
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:23,513
And gals over here. We wanna take guns

112
00:04:23,513 --> 00:04:25,347
away as much as the next person does.

113
00:04:25,826 --> 00:04:27,341
But you didn't even talk to us about

114
00:04:27,341 --> 00:04:29,415
it. And that's kind of a problem.

115
00:04:29,893 --> 00:04:31,111
And we always

116
00:04:31,582 --> 00:04:34,922
hash out gun control bills in the public

117
00:04:34,922 --> 00:04:35,422
safety

118
00:04:36,591 --> 00:04:36,830
committee,

119
00:04:38,261 --> 00:04:40,567
and not the house judiciary committee.

120
00:04:41,218 --> 00:04:41,718
So

121
00:04:42,730 --> 00:04:44,004
why do you think it's a good idea

122
00:04:44,004 --> 00:04:46,152
to have it in the house judiciary and

123
00:04:46,312 --> 00:04:48,381
Michael Day said, well, because I'm the chair.

124
00:04:48,873 --> 00:04:50,620
Person and it's my committee and it's my

125
00:04:50,620 --> 00:04:51,812
bill, and it should be in this. And

126
00:04:51,812 --> 00:04:53,718
so they couldn't even agree on what sub

127
00:04:53,718 --> 00:04:54,830
committee to put it in. Right?

128
00:04:56,101 --> 00:04:56,601
And

129
00:04:57,229 --> 00:04:59,700
then the senate comes out with their version.

130
00:05:00,098 --> 00:05:02,091
They say, we don't like anything about this

131
00:05:02,091 --> 00:05:03,925
bill. We don't like any of it. Like,

132
00:05:04,084 --> 00:05:06,572
here's a remove and replace. Here's a complete

133
00:05:06,572 --> 00:05:08,589
amendment that will replace

134
00:05:08,967 --> 00:05:11,361
this bill. And by the way, we got

135
00:05:11,361 --> 00:05:13,437
the police on board. We got some police

136
00:05:13,437 --> 00:05:15,443
chiefs to come up and say this is

137
00:05:15,443 --> 00:05:16,000
a good bill.

138
00:05:16,636 --> 00:05:18,386
So therefore, we should just do mine.

139
00:05:19,261 --> 00:05:20,000
And the

140
00:05:20,772 --> 00:05:22,545
house gave them the proverbial

141
00:05:23,333 --> 00:05:25,245
single finger salute and said,

142
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,397
gold pound sand.

143
00:05:28,034 --> 00:05:30,027
No. We reject it entirely.

144
00:05:30,758 --> 00:05:32,344
The house version was a hundred and 40

145
00:05:32,344 --> 00:05:34,565
odd pages. The senate version is a hundred

146
00:05:34,565 --> 00:05:36,969
and 22 pages of comprehensive

147
00:05:38,944 --> 00:05:41,516
omni bus gun control

148
00:05:42,930 --> 00:05:43,249
dr.

149
00:05:44,843 --> 00:05:45,343
Anti

150
00:05:46,358 --> 00:05:46,916
civil rights.

151
00:05:48,682 --> 00:05:49,000
Unconstitutional,

152
00:05:51,547 --> 00:05:52,842
outright defiant

153
00:05:54,730 --> 00:05:55,923
violation of their oath of office.

154
00:05:57,053 --> 00:05:58,488
In in some cases,

155
00:05:59,763 --> 00:06:01,299
I would argue m

156
00:06:02,075 --> 00:06:04,227
at the very definition of the world word.

157
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:06,420
Certainly

158
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,680
selling their soul by breaking their oath of

159
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,939
office. And I guess that really just

160
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,540
solidifies what

161
00:06:14,813 --> 00:06:16,731
politicians actually think of their oath of office.

162
00:06:16,891 --> 00:06:18,888
In the first place. They don't think very

163
00:06:18,888 --> 00:06:20,726
much of it. Right? If they will put

164
00:06:20,726 --> 00:06:23,049
their hand on the Bible, and raise their

165
00:06:23,049 --> 00:06:24,659
hand and swear

166
00:06:26,774 --> 00:06:27,567
to protect,

167
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:28,860
defend

168
00:06:29,645 --> 00:06:30,145
the

169
00:06:30,524 --> 00:06:31,024
constitution

170
00:06:31,404 --> 00:06:33,245
against all enemies foreign and domestic,

171
00:06:34,365 --> 00:06:35,105
and then

172
00:06:35,564 --> 00:06:36,625
introduce this

173
00:06:38,136 --> 00:06:38,636
absolute

174
00:06:39,407 --> 00:06:40,384
horse manure

175
00:06:41,393 --> 00:06:41,893
and

176
00:06:42,347 --> 00:06:44,357
say that they are representing us

177
00:06:45,623 --> 00:06:46,341
Can you believe it?

178
00:06:47,458 --> 00:06:49,053
I find it hard to look that type

179
00:06:49,053 --> 00:06:51,208
of person in the eye and say,

180
00:06:52,818 --> 00:06:54,015
What gives you the right?

181
00:06:55,052 --> 00:06:57,227
Where do you have the privilege

182
00:06:58,323 --> 00:06:58,823
to

183
00:07:00,173 --> 00:07:00,673
a

184
00:07:01,050 --> 00:07:03,443
even introduce such a an article.

185
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,118
And b,

186
00:07:05,995 --> 00:07:08,946
expect law enforcement who has also taken on

187
00:07:08,946 --> 00:07:10,735
oath of off is to

188
00:07:12,462 --> 00:07:12,962
enforce

189
00:07:13,813 --> 00:07:14,313
said

190
00:07:15,562 --> 00:07:16,835
law that you wanna create.

191
00:07:18,121 --> 00:07:19,731
I make an argument that

192
00:07:20,817 --> 00:07:21,317
I've

193
00:07:21,848 --> 00:07:24,172
been saying for a couple years now that

194
00:07:24,861 --> 00:07:25,361
these

195
00:07:26,304 --> 00:07:27,597
politicians, you elected

196
00:07:28,049 --> 00:07:30,349
legislators that are there to represent us. And

197
00:07:30,349 --> 00:07:32,333
as Madison says in the federal papers,

198
00:07:32,904 --> 00:07:35,378
that they are there as the gatekeeper of

199
00:07:35,378 --> 00:07:35,856
our rights.

200
00:07:36,495 --> 00:07:38,090
I know I sound like a broken record.

201
00:07:39,287 --> 00:07:41,848
But that is the primary role, that is

202
00:07:41,848 --> 00:07:44,151
the most important branch of government.

203
00:07:45,183 --> 00:07:47,509
If they're there in their proper

204
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,414
constitutional authority and

205
00:07:49,724 --> 00:07:52,142
and exercising their power

206
00:07:52,681 --> 00:07:53,181
under

207
00:07:54,039 --> 00:07:54,539
their

208
00:07:54,918 --> 00:07:55,418
constitutional

209
00:07:55,797 --> 00:07:56,835
limitations of that power.

210
00:07:57,887 --> 00:08:01,545
That being said and performed the way that

211
00:08:01,545 --> 00:08:04,647
our founders intended is the most important branch

212
00:08:04,647 --> 00:08:07,925
of government because it'll make no law that

213
00:08:07,925 --> 00:08:10,235
is contrary to the constitution.

214
00:08:10,951 --> 00:08:12,225
They are there to defend it?

215
00:08:12,942 --> 00:08:13,920
What is a gatekeeper?

216
00:08:14,947 --> 00:08:16,322
Well, the good shepherd

217
00:08:17,730 --> 00:08:20,909
watches the gate to keep his sheep from

218
00:08:20,909 --> 00:08:22,181
being attacked by wolves.

219
00:08:22,754 --> 00:08:25,466
That's the way it literally, that's what that

220
00:08:25,466 --> 00:08:25,865
looks like.

221
00:08:26,583 --> 00:08:29,216
And he will defend it with his life.

222
00:08:30,027 --> 00:08:32,016
That's why you carry the staff and modern

223
00:08:32,016 --> 00:08:34,743
day, you know, you'd carry an Ar 15

224
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:36,312
to keep the wolves at bay.

225
00:08:37,124 --> 00:08:40,157
But our legislature has lost its way.

226
00:08:41,035 --> 00:08:41,854
They have me,

227
00:08:42,471 --> 00:08:44,887
and they have actually gone from gatekeeper

228
00:08:45,837 --> 00:08:47,898
to a wolf in sheep clothing.

229
00:08:48,690 --> 00:08:49,586
They are there

230
00:08:50,592 --> 00:08:52,598
at the be of the sheep

231
00:08:53,224 --> 00:08:55,156
where the people. I know that's a terrible

232
00:08:55,293 --> 00:08:57,203
analogy, sheep and people, but actually, we act

233
00:08:57,203 --> 00:08:57,840
more like sheep.

234
00:08:59,193 --> 00:09:00,011
They're there

235
00:09:00,959 --> 00:09:04,309
to devour our very rights and to devour

236
00:09:04,309 --> 00:09:05,346
us in the process,

237
00:09:06,143 --> 00:09:06,643
all

238
00:09:07,260 --> 00:09:10,211
to protect their legacy and their power and

239
00:09:10,211 --> 00:09:10,711
their

240
00:09:11,661 --> 00:09:11,980
their,

241
00:09:13,175 --> 00:09:13,675
office.

242
00:09:15,167 --> 00:09:17,398
And they have gone from gatekeeper to oath

243
00:09:17,398 --> 00:09:17,797
breaker.

244
00:09:18,529 --> 00:09:20,944
They think that they went from lawmaker

245
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,397
to law give.

246
00:09:24,754 --> 00:09:26,350
That's a big difference folks.

247
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:27,740
Massive

248
00:09:28,351 --> 00:09:29,327
massive difference

249
00:09:29,700 --> 00:09:30,517
between lawmaker,

250
00:09:31,604 --> 00:09:32,873
which by the way,

251
00:09:33,825 --> 00:09:34,643
they have

252
00:09:35,667 --> 00:09:36,167
a

253
00:09:36,780 --> 00:09:37,280
constitutional

254
00:09:37,814 --> 00:09:38,314
obligation

255
00:09:38,848 --> 00:09:40,621
to only enact laws

256
00:09:41,394 --> 00:09:41,894
that

257
00:09:42,524 --> 00:09:43,424
are so

258
00:09:43,804 --> 00:09:46,625
necessary to protect us from evil or

259
00:09:47,084 --> 00:09:47,485
evil.

260
00:09:49,245 --> 00:09:50,704
And if they don't

261
00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:52,539
use that as their standard,

262
00:09:53,820 --> 00:09:55,279
then it's just more

263
00:09:56,059 --> 00:09:58,379
m pro prohibitive type law.

264
00:09:58,954 --> 00:10:01,906
It is illegal because we say it is.

265
00:10:02,465 --> 00:10:05,737
It's not M say, which is evil in

266
00:10:05,737 --> 00:10:06,455
its own right.

267
00:10:07,027 --> 00:10:09,166
That's why you don't do it. That's why

268
00:10:09,166 --> 00:10:10,671
you make laws against it.

269
00:10:11,384 --> 00:10:12,811
Because if they don't,

270
00:10:13,365 --> 00:10:13,865
then

271
00:10:14,174 --> 00:10:14,993
the larger

272
00:10:15,451 --> 00:10:17,206
community suffers as a result.

273
00:10:18,882 --> 00:10:20,957
I said all that to say this. We're

274
00:10:20,957 --> 00:10:22,880
down over a wire here. We're in our

275
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,574
last week of being able to contact these

276
00:10:25,574 --> 00:10:26,074
people

277
00:10:26,524 --> 00:10:29,472
who have taken on a new role they

278
00:10:29,472 --> 00:10:30,585
have taken on a new,

279
00:10:35,034 --> 00:10:36,226
they've taken a new look.

280
00:10:37,037 --> 00:10:39,029
At what it is, they're actually there to

281
00:10:39,029 --> 00:10:39,268
do.

282
00:10:40,144 --> 00:10:43,011
Instead of defending and being the gatekeeper of

283
00:10:43,011 --> 00:10:43,489
our rights,

284
00:10:44,206 --> 00:10:45,104
they are

285
00:10:45,974 --> 00:10:49,108
feeling god like that they can give

286
00:10:49,566 --> 00:10:53,476
law and restrict rights that are granted by

287
00:10:53,476 --> 00:10:54,195
our creator.

288
00:10:55,084 --> 00:10:56,753
And I know you guys have heard this

289
00:10:56,753 --> 00:10:58,024
sermon of many at times,

290
00:10:59,058 --> 00:11:00,408
and I'm preaching to the choir.

291
00:11:01,124 --> 00:11:01,624
But

292
00:11:02,092 --> 00:11:03,918
The truth of the matter is, this is

293
00:11:03,918 --> 00:11:05,664
when we need to hold them accountable, while

294
00:11:05,664 --> 00:11:07,808
they're deli deliberate behind closed doors right now,

295
00:11:07,966 --> 00:11:08,602
6 people.

296
00:11:10,283 --> 00:11:10,783
In

297
00:11:11,552 --> 00:11:12,345
complete secrecy.

298
00:11:14,487 --> 00:11:16,153
Now is the time we tell them how

299
00:11:16,153 --> 00:11:17,025
we really feel.

300
00:11:17,994 --> 00:11:18,494
And

301
00:11:18,872 --> 00:11:20,388
say, hey, you know what?

302
00:11:21,346 --> 00:11:23,900
Show me in the constitution where it gives

303
00:11:23,900 --> 00:11:24,879
you the power

304
00:11:25,417 --> 00:11:25,917
to

305
00:11:26,785 --> 00:11:29,876
take away my right, my constitutional right. Here's

306
00:11:29,876 --> 00:11:31,303
a couple of questions. I mentioned this on

307
00:11:31,303 --> 00:11:32,571
my radio show this weekend.

308
00:11:34,014 --> 00:11:35,934
Ask them to show you in the constitution

309
00:11:35,934 --> 00:11:38,174
where they have the authority to restrict your

310
00:11:38,174 --> 00:11:39,294
right to keep in their arms.

311
00:11:40,254 --> 00:11:41,215
Where does it show it?

312
00:11:42,582 --> 00:11:44,489
Ask them if they can limit the first

313
00:11:44,489 --> 00:11:46,953
amendment in the exact same way that they're

314
00:11:46,953 --> 00:11:47,270
proposing.

315
00:11:47,906 --> 00:11:50,052
Think about all the restrictions they're about to

316
00:11:50,052 --> 00:11:52,850
put on the second amendment here in the

317
00:11:52,850 --> 00:11:53,963
state of Massachusetts.

318
00:11:54,678 --> 00:11:58,018
They are talking about sensitive places and locations.

319
00:11:58,574 --> 00:11:59,869
They are talking about

320
00:12:02,009 --> 00:12:04,714
restricting your ability to carry on playgrounds.

321
00:12:05,271 --> 00:12:07,124
So can they do the same thing

322
00:12:07,594 --> 00:12:09,509
with the first amendment. Can they keep you

323
00:12:09,509 --> 00:12:11,744
from speaking your mind freely at the playground?

324
00:12:12,222 --> 00:12:13,978
Can they keep you from speaking your mind

325
00:12:13,978 --> 00:12:15,906
freely at the polling place? Can they keep

326
00:12:15,906 --> 00:12:17,656
you from speaking your mind freely on the

327
00:12:17,656 --> 00:12:19,088
street corner? You know,

328
00:12:19,883 --> 00:12:21,236
I love Mark Smith's,

329
00:12:23,162 --> 00:12:25,874
professor Mark Smith's title of his Youtube channel.

330
00:12:26,033 --> 00:12:27,469
The 4 boxes diner.

331
00:12:28,027 --> 00:12:29,862
Because a lot of people don't know what

332
00:12:29,862 --> 00:12:31,776
the 4 boxes of Liberty are.

333
00:12:32,429 --> 00:12:34,658
The first 1 is the soap box, and

334
00:12:34,658 --> 00:12:36,887
what does that mean? If you're under 30,

335
00:12:36,967 --> 00:12:39,355
you might not know what that means. But

336
00:12:39,355 --> 00:12:40,333
there was a time

337
00:12:40,725 --> 00:12:43,065
where people would stand up in the public

338
00:12:43,684 --> 00:12:44,184
square

339
00:12:44,565 --> 00:12:46,485
in the town square. You've heard the term

340
00:12:46,485 --> 00:12:48,884
town cry. Right? They would talk about the

341
00:12:48,884 --> 00:12:51,765
town agenda and the meetings coming up, but

342
00:12:51,765 --> 00:12:52,662
there was also

343
00:12:53,193 --> 00:12:55,969
an element of political banter that took place

344
00:12:55,969 --> 00:12:57,738
on the street. There was also

345
00:12:59,001 --> 00:13:00,833
preacher that would stand on the street corner,

346
00:13:01,311 --> 00:13:02,983
say we didn't see in church Sunday. So

347
00:13:03,063 --> 00:13:05,134
I'm out here proclaiming the good news, and

348
00:13:05,134 --> 00:13:07,045
they would often stand on a soap box.

349
00:13:07,299 --> 00:13:08,969
It was a wooden box that they delivered

350
00:13:08,969 --> 00:13:10,878
soap to. Door to door, they used to

351
00:13:10,878 --> 00:13:13,185
make the rounds and deliver your soap. But

352
00:13:13,185 --> 00:13:15,187
they'd turn it over and stand on it

353
00:13:15,187 --> 00:13:17,253
to elevate themselves above the crowd so that

354
00:13:17,253 --> 00:13:19,159
they could project their voice and you'd know

355
00:13:19,159 --> 00:13:22,519
who's talking. So the soap box, the free

356
00:13:22,813 --> 00:13:23,949
thinking public

357
00:13:24,580 --> 00:13:24,820
speech,

358
00:13:25,460 --> 00:13:25,960
public

359
00:13:26,820 --> 00:13:28,200
exercise of ideas

360
00:13:28,740 --> 00:13:31,379
is the first box of liberty. As soon

361
00:13:31,379 --> 00:13:32,580
as you restrict that right,

362
00:13:33,233 --> 00:13:34,825
And I've been on the receiving end of

363
00:13:34,825 --> 00:13:35,700
that many times.

364
00:13:36,258 --> 00:13:38,009
If you stand up on a street corner

365
00:13:38,009 --> 00:13:40,317
nowadays and start to speak or preach,

366
00:13:41,288 --> 00:13:43,362
there's people that want you shut down. They

367
00:13:43,362 --> 00:13:44,638
called the police say this guy's is an

368
00:13:44,638 --> 00:13:47,349
idiot it. He's disturbing my lunch. He's preaching

369
00:13:47,349 --> 00:13:48,807
he's teaching and he's talking

370
00:13:49,184 --> 00:13:50,061
on the street corner.

371
00:13:50,794 --> 00:13:53,431
They wanna silence you and muzzle you. Why?

372
00:13:54,390 --> 00:13:56,548
Because they don't understand what Freedom is. That's

373
00:13:56,548 --> 00:13:58,306
a beautiful thing. I don't care if you

374
00:13:58,306 --> 00:13:59,505
agree with the person or not.

375
00:14:00,317 --> 00:14:02,700
That is 1 of the boxes of Liberty.

376
00:14:03,733 --> 00:14:06,433
The second 1 is the ballot box. Right?

377
00:14:06,592 --> 00:14:08,990
We go into that ballot box. It's behind

378
00:14:08,990 --> 00:14:11,372
the prying eyes of government, we can sit

379
00:14:11,372 --> 00:14:11,872
there

380
00:14:12,246 --> 00:14:13,063
without any

381
00:14:13,596 --> 00:14:15,661
observation and we can vote how we wanna

382
00:14:15,661 --> 00:14:17,488
vote for who we wanna vote for.

383
00:14:18,220 --> 00:14:20,779
And it's our privilege and it's supposed to

384
00:14:20,779 --> 00:14:22,220
count the same as the next guy.

385
00:14:22,779 --> 00:14:24,620
Whether you're rich or poor, young or old,

386
00:14:24,860 --> 00:14:27,189
black or white, gay or straight, right or

387
00:14:27,189 --> 00:14:28,379
left, it doesn't matter.

388
00:14:29,092 --> 00:14:30,917
Your vote counts the same as the next

389
00:14:30,917 --> 00:14:31,155
guy.

390
00:14:31,789 --> 00:14:34,352
And that is a huge, huge

391
00:14:35,619 --> 00:14:37,877
check on the power structure

392
00:14:38,256 --> 00:14:40,274
and a huge check on

393
00:14:41,053 --> 00:14:43,391
the balance of power, and and it's an

394
00:14:43,530 --> 00:14:46,202
exercise of the fountain of power

395
00:14:47,139 --> 00:14:49,614
coming from we, the people. We're the ones

396
00:14:49,614 --> 00:14:51,689
who put politicians there The way it's supposed

397
00:14:51,689 --> 00:14:52,328
to work. Right?

398
00:14:53,126 --> 00:14:53,866
The third

399
00:14:54,259 --> 00:14:56,257
is the jury box. If you find yourself

400
00:14:56,257 --> 00:14:57,936
on the wrong side of the law, you're

401
00:14:57,936 --> 00:14:59,933
presumed innocent until proven guilty.

402
00:15:00,653 --> 00:15:03,870
Right? And what happens? You entitled to a

403
00:15:04,185 --> 00:15:04,585
core,

404
00:15:05,465 --> 00:15:07,945
a trial by a jury of your peers.

405
00:15:09,384 --> 00:15:12,024
So we have the jury box. It's very

406
00:15:12,024 --> 00:15:12,745
very powerful.

407
00:15:13,316 --> 00:15:15,219
In fact, when I served on the federal

408
00:15:15,219 --> 00:15:17,597
grand jury about 20 years ago,

409
00:15:18,707 --> 00:15:20,372
I wasn't really sure how that all worked.

410
00:15:20,784 --> 00:15:22,959
And I was blown away at the thoughtful

411
00:15:23,735 --> 00:15:25,968
of this by our founders. And I know

412
00:15:25,968 --> 00:15:28,361
this has been exploited nowadays. You hear the

413
00:15:28,361 --> 00:15:31,402
saying, like, I could indicted a hand sandwich.

414
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,465
Right? And I I think there was even

415
00:15:33,465 --> 00:15:35,370
a little bit of naive on my part

416
00:15:35,370 --> 00:15:36,879
when I served on that federal grand jury.

417
00:15:37,037 --> 00:15:38,466
But I wasn't panel for a year and

418
00:15:38,466 --> 00:15:38,863
a half.

419
00:15:39,513 --> 00:15:42,215
Every Thursday drove up to the Joseph P

420
00:15:42,294 --> 00:15:44,519
Mo building in Boston and I served on

421
00:15:44,519 --> 00:15:46,267
the organized crime task force.

422
00:15:46,919 --> 00:15:48,911
Where I was presented evidence in a weekly

423
00:15:48,911 --> 00:15:50,984
basis. And, you know, once you see the

424
00:15:50,984 --> 00:15:52,339
evidence, you had to either vote to ind

425
00:15:52,339 --> 00:15:54,092
incite the person or not. But the federal

426
00:15:54,092 --> 00:15:54,592
government

427
00:15:54,983 --> 00:15:55,483
cannot

428
00:15:55,937 --> 00:15:57,210
charge you with a crime.

429
00:15:57,766 --> 00:15:59,062
It must be done

430
00:15:59,436 --> 00:16:02,379
by a federal grand jury. And even state,

431
00:16:02,776 --> 00:16:04,549
I believe in a certain

432
00:16:05,497 --> 00:16:07,172
state crimes as well. There has to be

433
00:16:07,172 --> 00:16:07,810
a state

434
00:16:08,208 --> 00:16:10,521
grand jury involved as well. If it's a

435
00:16:10,521 --> 00:16:10,760
big,

436
00:16:11,478 --> 00:16:13,072
big type... I forget what they call the

437
00:16:13,072 --> 00:16:13,631
type of crime.

438
00:16:14,524 --> 00:16:17,401
Obviously, it's a felony and a certain level

439
00:16:17,401 --> 00:16:19,878
of felony. Let's put it that way. But

440
00:16:19,878 --> 00:16:21,556
that's what the jury box is all about.

441
00:16:21,796 --> 00:16:22,615
It's the

442
00:16:23,088 --> 00:16:24,304
make sure the government

443
00:16:24,918 --> 00:16:25,418
can't

444
00:16:25,793 --> 00:16:29,056
just hu harass you and run you through

445
00:16:29,056 --> 00:16:29,954
their system

446
00:16:30,423 --> 00:16:34,002
their kangaroo court with a predetermined outcome. The

447
00:16:34,002 --> 00:16:35,218
jury is a massive

448
00:16:35,831 --> 00:16:37,740
part of freedom. And that brings us to

449
00:16:37,740 --> 00:16:38,558
the fourth

450
00:16:39,106 --> 00:16:41,568
part of the equation, The fourth box of

451
00:16:41,568 --> 00:16:44,746
freedom, the cartridge box. And it's something that

452
00:16:44,746 --> 00:16:45,405
the media

453
00:16:45,858 --> 00:16:46,517
that the

454
00:16:47,384 --> 00:16:47,884
government

455
00:16:48,664 --> 00:16:51,644
wants to do away with at every

456
00:16:51,945 --> 00:16:52,445
possible

457
00:16:53,945 --> 00:16:54,445
turn

458
00:16:54,759 --> 00:16:57,872
they wanna beat you over the head and

459
00:16:57,872 --> 00:17:00,188
say you're a horrible person for wanting to

460
00:17:00,188 --> 00:17:02,423
own a gun. And if it would just

461
00:17:02,423 --> 00:17:03,961
save 1 life

462
00:17:04,273 --> 00:17:06,420
wouldn't you be willing to turn in your

463
00:17:06,579 --> 00:17:07,374
Ar 15?

464
00:17:08,725 --> 00:17:10,020
They used this

465
00:17:10,951 --> 00:17:11,451
false

466
00:17:12,399 --> 00:17:13,698
moral high ground

467
00:17:14,076 --> 00:17:16,713
and try to beat you into submission to

468
00:17:16,713 --> 00:17:19,862
think like them to act like them. To

469
00:17:19,918 --> 00:17:22,936
to feel guilty about wanting to protect your

470
00:17:22,936 --> 00:17:25,105
family and your way of life

471
00:17:25,637 --> 00:17:28,759
with arms or whatever efficient tool you choose

472
00:17:29,465 --> 00:17:29,965
and

473
00:17:30,655 --> 00:17:33,353
media has become the dog dog of that,

474
00:17:33,908 --> 00:17:34,884
not to mention

475
00:17:35,733 --> 00:17:36,184
the

476
00:17:36,859 --> 00:17:39,318
politicians. You see Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

477
00:17:39,318 --> 00:17:42,570
every week out there. Nobody needs a hundred

478
00:17:42,570 --> 00:17:44,022
round clip murderous

479
00:17:44,965 --> 00:17:46,020
semi automatic

480
00:17:46,790 --> 00:17:48,853
cartridge box, whatever that heck they call it,

481
00:17:49,488 --> 00:17:51,234
shell or something like that.

482
00:17:52,345 --> 00:17:52,845
And

483
00:17:53,393 --> 00:17:55,405
you know, this is how they they

484
00:17:56,020 --> 00:17:58,966
lie often enough and loud enough and people

485
00:17:58,966 --> 00:18:01,217
will believe it. Right? I think

486
00:18:01,845 --> 00:18:04,146
20 20 was a massive eye opener for

487
00:18:04,146 --> 00:18:06,154
a lot of people. A lot of people

488
00:18:06,210 --> 00:18:08,194
asleep at the wheel going along to get

489
00:18:08,194 --> 00:18:08,353
along.

490
00:18:09,083 --> 00:18:11,072
Head in the sand, you fill in the

491
00:18:11,072 --> 00:18:12,765
blank of the Ism or the

492
00:18:13,458 --> 00:18:14,333
you know, whatever,

493
00:18:17,216 --> 00:18:18,892
comparison, you wanna say, you know, I heard

494
00:18:18,892 --> 00:18:20,966
1 guy say, there's a lot of people

495
00:18:20,966 --> 00:18:23,280
that are... If ignorance is bliss,

496
00:18:23,854 --> 00:18:25,206
and there's a lot of people having a

497
00:18:25,206 --> 00:18:27,832
blizzard. You know? It's they just are so

498
00:18:27,832 --> 00:18:28,889
ignorant that they

499
00:18:29,901 --> 00:18:32,049
completely surrounded by it, and they're... They still

500
00:18:32,049 --> 00:18:33,736
don't wake up. But it woke up a

501
00:18:33,736 --> 00:18:35,808
lot of people. They saw people being let

502
00:18:35,808 --> 00:18:36,626
out of jail

503
00:18:37,322 --> 00:18:37,981
because of

504
00:18:38,836 --> 00:18:40,372
pandemic reasons. They saw

505
00:18:41,644 --> 00:18:42,945
their city's burning

506
00:18:44,365 --> 00:18:45,345
with law.

507
00:18:45,644 --> 00:18:46,384
They saw

508
00:18:47,724 --> 00:18:48,224
people

509
00:18:48,845 --> 00:18:50,144
being told to

510
00:18:50,539 --> 00:18:52,619
stay away or they couldn't go to church

511
00:18:52,619 --> 00:18:54,140
or couldn't go to the gym or couldn't

512
00:18:54,140 --> 00:18:56,320
go to work. They had to stay home

513
00:18:57,180 --> 00:19:00,552
and social distance, the whole 9 yards everything

514
00:19:00,552 --> 00:19:02,465
about it, then the mandates that came and

515
00:19:02,465 --> 00:19:04,378
you gotta get a certain thing. If you

516
00:19:04,378 --> 00:19:06,769
wanna go back to work. Right? Or if

517
00:19:06,769 --> 00:19:08,535
you wanna travel, if you wanna fly. If

518
00:19:08,535 --> 00:19:10,044
you wanna go to the B game. I

519
00:19:10,044 --> 00:19:11,551
had to show up fake card.

520
00:19:12,107 --> 00:19:14,329
Yes. I did to get in to see

521
00:19:14,329 --> 00:19:14,885
the ruins.

522
00:19:15,773 --> 00:19:16,273
And

523
00:19:16,726 --> 00:19:19,028
we're all like, something main right here. Something

524
00:19:19,028 --> 00:19:20,536
right. What is that?

525
00:19:21,648 --> 00:19:22,997
We all know it's not right.

526
00:19:24,129 --> 00:19:24,629
And

527
00:19:25,407 --> 00:19:27,645
people woke up and say, well, wait a

528
00:19:27,645 --> 00:19:30,123
minute. If I do wanna defend my family

529
00:19:30,123 --> 00:19:32,600
because I see the bands of ro mobs,

530
00:19:33,414 --> 00:19:35,163
you know, going into neighborhoods now.

531
00:19:36,038 --> 00:19:36,538
And,

532
00:19:37,230 --> 00:19:39,059
you know, if I wanna defend myself with

533
00:19:39,059 --> 00:19:40,967
arm. I don't even have a permit. How

534
00:19:40,967 --> 00:19:42,319
do I get that and then start to

535
00:19:42,319 --> 00:19:44,006
go down and You know, they... All they

536
00:19:44,006 --> 00:19:45,839
have is what the media told them, it's

537
00:19:45,839 --> 00:19:48,469
harder to get an apple or rent a

538
00:19:48,469 --> 00:19:50,142
library book than it is to buy a

539
00:19:50,142 --> 00:19:50,461
gun.

540
00:19:51,114 --> 00:19:52,868
And they'd show up at the local store.

541
00:19:53,108 --> 00:19:54,463
I want a gun. Okay.

542
00:19:55,261 --> 00:19:57,175
You have a license to carry? A what?

543
00:19:58,531 --> 00:20:00,286
You could an F card? A what?

544
00:20:02,213 --> 00:20:03,966
They didn't even know what that was. And

545
00:20:03,966 --> 00:20:05,240
they... No, I'm just here to buy a

546
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:05,399
gun.

547
00:20:06,515 --> 00:20:08,346
You're about 3 months to 4 months away

548
00:20:08,346 --> 00:20:09,701
from that. What other right?

549
00:20:11,147 --> 00:20:12,838
Do you have to delay

550
00:20:13,610 --> 00:20:16,232
3 to 4 months before you can exercise

551
00:20:16,232 --> 00:20:16,391
it?

552
00:20:19,346 --> 00:20:20,539
I can't think of 1.

553
00:20:21,970 --> 00:20:22,209
Right?

554
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,412
Now there's rights that are probably

555
00:20:26,185 --> 00:20:28,355
inherent that have been so restricted

556
00:20:28,825 --> 00:20:30,825
that we don't consider them rights anymore. We

557
00:20:30,825 --> 00:20:31,724
call them privileges.

558
00:20:32,585 --> 00:20:32,825
But,

559
00:20:34,744 --> 00:20:35,244
certain

560
00:20:36,105 --> 00:20:36,605
rights

561
00:20:37,397 --> 00:20:39,386
I will say that they are right are

562
00:20:39,386 --> 00:20:40,818
rights because they are,

563
00:20:41,454 --> 00:20:42,750
not because government

564
00:20:43,125 --> 00:20:43,841
says they are.

565
00:20:44,809 --> 00:20:46,159
And that's a big difference.

566
00:20:46,874 --> 00:20:49,200
And now the lawmakers stand up there

567
00:20:49,732 --> 00:20:50,288
and say,

568
00:20:51,082 --> 00:20:52,455
you know, nobody needs

569
00:20:52,829 --> 00:20:53,329
and

570
00:20:53,718 --> 00:20:54,832
group thinks says,

571
00:20:56,343 --> 00:20:58,832
it's in the government's best interest

572
00:20:59,525 --> 00:21:00,025
if

573
00:21:01,050 --> 00:21:03,117
We restrict arms from civilians,

574
00:21:03,594 --> 00:21:06,558
if we ban body armor, if we ban

575
00:21:06,853 --> 00:21:09,317
militias, if we ban training,

576
00:21:09,889 --> 00:21:11,028
if we ban

577
00:21:11,647 --> 00:21:14,684
certain caliber, if we ban certain rifles.

578
00:21:15,803 --> 00:21:18,440
And the truth of the matter is they

579
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:18,940
lack

580
00:21:19,414 --> 00:21:19,914
all

581
00:21:20,375 --> 00:21:22,855
constitutional authority to do so. And the fact

582
00:21:22,855 --> 00:21:24,934
that they do it anyway is what?

583
00:21:26,214 --> 00:21:26,535
Yes.

584
00:21:27,269 --> 00:21:28,168
You guessed it

585
00:21:28,626 --> 00:21:31,340
abusive power because they possess the power to

586
00:21:31,340 --> 00:21:31,579
do it.

587
00:21:32,298 --> 00:21:33,915
They abuse that power

588
00:21:34,294 --> 00:21:34,794
and

589
00:21:36,303 --> 00:21:39,428
you know, take away the average citizen citizens

590
00:21:39,485 --> 00:21:40,599
right to keep in their arms.

591
00:21:43,476 --> 00:21:45,300
That's the way I see it. I'm calling

592
00:21:45,300 --> 00:21:47,441
balls and strikes here folks, and this is

593
00:21:47,441 --> 00:21:49,503
the last week for us to con call

594
00:21:49,503 --> 00:21:50,455
the conference committee.

595
00:21:51,743 --> 00:21:54,855
Which is, again, debating our the future of

596
00:21:54,855 --> 00:21:57,329
gun rights in Massachusetts behind closed doors. And

597
00:21:57,329 --> 00:21:59,005
it's high time. We put them on notice.

598
00:21:59,577 --> 00:22:01,008
Say, listen, if you're gonna break your oath

599
00:22:01,008 --> 00:22:02,939
of office, if you're gonna continually

600
00:22:04,108 --> 00:22:07,461
deprive me of my constitutional en rights. If

601
00:22:07,461 --> 00:22:09,467
you're that anti civil rights

602
00:22:09,839 --> 00:22:11,686
that you will go out on the floor

603
00:22:12,058 --> 00:22:13,960
and vote against God,

604
00:22:14,769 --> 00:22:17,084
who is the grant of rights. Just read

605
00:22:17,084 --> 00:22:18,122
our founding documents.

606
00:22:19,319 --> 00:22:19,819
And

607
00:22:20,516 --> 00:22:23,171
and you will say that this is

608
00:22:24,041 --> 00:22:26,665
is a something that you possess the authority

609
00:22:26,665 --> 00:22:27,801
to do even though

610
00:22:28,176 --> 00:22:28,812
you don't.

611
00:22:29,448 --> 00:22:31,039
What other of right do you have the

612
00:22:31,039 --> 00:22:32,947
authority to do that too, could ban Catholics?

613
00:22:33,919 --> 00:22:36,255
Could you require a license for fifth amendment

614
00:22:36,393 --> 00:22:39,188
protections? What about fourth amendment, illegal searches and

615
00:22:39,188 --> 00:22:39,507
seizures?

616
00:22:40,385 --> 00:22:42,481
You gotta go down, take a government mandated

617
00:22:42,540 --> 00:22:44,789
class for 4 hours pay a hundred dollars,

618
00:22:45,427 --> 00:22:47,820
you know, apply with fingerprints and photographs and

619
00:22:47,820 --> 00:22:49,814
background checks and make sure you're a good

620
00:22:49,814 --> 00:22:52,287
moral character and your police chief. Thinks you're

621
00:22:52,287 --> 00:22:52,606
suitable.

622
00:22:53,500 --> 00:22:55,419
And then you apply for said license and

623
00:22:55,419 --> 00:22:57,019
wait 3 months, so you can put a

624
00:22:57,019 --> 00:22:58,460
plaque on your front door so that the

625
00:22:58,460 --> 00:22:59,740
police don't raid you at 2 in the

626
00:22:59,740 --> 00:22:59,980
morning.

627
00:23:01,019 --> 00:23:02,380
That doesn't happen. Right?

628
00:23:03,194 --> 00:23:04,872
So why did we give them that right

629
00:23:04,872 --> 00:23:06,470
to do that to the second amendment?

630
00:23:07,189 --> 00:23:08,707
Why did we say that was okay. Why

631
00:23:08,707 --> 00:23:10,145
did we go along with this for so

632
00:23:10,145 --> 00:23:10,385
long?

633
00:23:11,518 --> 00:23:14,232
B is thankfully settings the record straight in

634
00:23:14,232 --> 00:23:14,951
a lot of ways.

635
00:23:15,749 --> 00:23:18,165
And even in light of brewing

636
00:23:19,182 --> 00:23:19,682
where

637
00:23:20,709 --> 00:23:23,246
the Supreme Court acknowledges that the text of

638
00:23:23,246 --> 00:23:24,911
the second amendment is the law.

639
00:23:25,783 --> 00:23:27,551
And if you want to

640
00:23:28,658 --> 00:23:29,877
uphold a government

641
00:23:30,336 --> 00:23:31,215
restriction on that law,

642
00:23:31,854 --> 00:23:34,191
then the government needs to prove

643
00:23:35,143 --> 00:23:36,972
beyond a shadow of a doubt, the burden

644
00:23:36,972 --> 00:23:38,643
of proof is on the government to prove

645
00:23:38,643 --> 00:23:40,893
that the their law is analogous

646
00:23:41,999 --> 00:23:44,387
with a law at the nation's founding in

647
00:23:44,387 --> 00:23:45,422
17 91.

648
00:23:46,377 --> 00:23:49,083
You can't do that. It's unconstitutional. Now I

649
00:23:49,083 --> 00:23:51,083
know we saw a serious bend to that

650
00:23:51,083 --> 00:23:52,272
and the Ra decision.

651
00:23:53,144 --> 00:23:55,046
But again, the Ra was bad for a

652
00:23:55,046 --> 00:23:55,997
bunch of different reasons.

653
00:23:57,518 --> 00:23:59,585
I think there's a lot of things in

654
00:23:59,585 --> 00:24:01,278
place and stepping stones

655
00:24:01,653 --> 00:24:02,845
as a result of Ra.

656
00:24:03,402 --> 00:24:05,333
We also saw Car. We also

657
00:24:06,678 --> 00:24:07,178
had

658
00:24:08,429 --> 00:24:10,895
the chevron defer go away. So a lot

659
00:24:10,895 --> 00:24:12,566
of things, the stage is being set.

660
00:24:13,139 --> 00:24:15,372
For our a restoration of our rights.

661
00:24:16,169 --> 00:24:17,844
I'm not happy about what happened with the

662
00:24:17,844 --> 00:24:19,838
seventh circuit, but I think we'll see that

663
00:24:19,838 --> 00:24:19,998
again.

664
00:24:21,114 --> 00:24:21,513
Hopefully.

665
00:24:22,151 --> 00:24:22,651
But

666
00:24:23,044 --> 00:24:24,081
the bottom line is,

667
00:24:26,556 --> 00:24:28,971
we are here today to urge you

668
00:24:29,429 --> 00:24:31,559
to contact the members of the conference committee

669
00:24:31,679 --> 00:24:34,069
to contact your leg legislature to contact your,

670
00:24:35,185 --> 00:24:39,169
senator, and this... The senate majority leader, the

671
00:24:39,169 --> 00:24:41,161
house majority leader, the senate president,

672
00:24:41,894 --> 00:24:43,173
governor Heal office,

673
00:24:43,812 --> 00:24:44,931
attorney general's office,

674
00:24:46,210 --> 00:24:46,710
local

675
00:24:47,728 --> 00:24:50,206
police departments. It's time to, like, sound the

676
00:24:50,206 --> 00:24:51,085
alarm and say, hey, guys.

677
00:24:52,137 --> 00:24:52,775
Time out here.

678
00:24:53,653 --> 00:24:57,002
Just show me where you have the constitutional

679
00:24:57,002 --> 00:24:57,502
right

680
00:24:58,279 --> 00:24:59,895
to take away my

681
00:25:00,512 --> 00:25:00,991
constitutional rights.

682
00:25:03,153 --> 00:25:04,662
Ask them if they think that our current

683
00:25:04,662 --> 00:25:07,920
gun laws in Massachusetts are consistent with founding

684
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,428
era laws. Would they hold up to constitutional

685
00:25:11,428 --> 00:25:13,333
scrutiny in 17 91?

686
00:25:13,967 --> 00:25:16,745
You think the sensitive places location? You think

687
00:25:16,745 --> 00:25:17,245
the

688
00:25:18,113 --> 00:25:21,064
approve weapons roster. You think a magazine capacity

689
00:25:21,064 --> 00:25:22,818
band, You think a salt weapons band. You

690
00:25:22,818 --> 00:25:23,318
think

691
00:25:25,690 --> 00:25:27,227
certain limits on

692
00:25:27,539 --> 00:25:29,763
what you can and can't buy would all

693
00:25:29,763 --> 00:25:30,263
be

694
00:25:30,955 --> 00:25:32,782
constitutional protected in 17 91.

695
00:25:33,338 --> 00:25:33,894
Ask them that.

696
00:25:34,704 --> 00:25:36,933
See if they think that... Oh, no. I

697
00:25:37,092 --> 00:25:39,321
I think, you know, maybe we... Because it...

698
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,391
That's what it causes them to second guess

699
00:25:41,391 --> 00:25:42,426
this whole process. Right?

700
00:25:43,157 --> 00:25:45,301
Ask them if they're willing to do this

701
00:25:45,301 --> 00:25:46,334
to the second amendment,

702
00:25:47,684 --> 00:25:50,146
what other rights are they willing to do

703
00:25:50,146 --> 00:25:50,623
this for?

704
00:25:51,274 --> 00:25:53,425
What other rights you gonna apply this standard

705
00:25:53,425 --> 00:25:54,722
that you are proposing

706
00:25:55,417 --> 00:25:55,656
to?

707
00:25:56,453 --> 00:25:58,763
I already mentioned the first amendment and the

708
00:25:58,763 --> 00:26:00,970
fourth amendment, the fifth amendment. What about

709
00:26:01,407 --> 00:26:02,440
you know, the right to vote,

710
00:26:03,235 --> 00:26:04,212
we're gonna start

711
00:26:04,666 --> 00:26:07,051
issuing an Id to write to vote.

712
00:26:09,212 --> 00:26:10,803
Not a bad idea if you ask me.

713
00:26:12,076 --> 00:26:12,576
But

714
00:26:13,110 --> 00:26:15,337
what about charging a poll tax?

715
00:26:15,989 --> 00:26:17,580
Oh, wait a minute. That's already been ruled

716
00:26:17,580 --> 00:26:18,080
on

717
00:26:18,455 --> 00:26:20,468
unconstitutional. So maybe the license

718
00:26:21,241 --> 00:26:22,059
to carry

719
00:26:22,673 --> 00:26:24,424
should be ruled on unconstitutional.

720
00:26:25,873 --> 00:26:26,592
Just a thought.

721
00:26:27,949 --> 00:26:28,688
Ask them

722
00:26:29,785 --> 00:26:30,285
if

723
00:26:31,142 --> 00:26:33,218
they are willing to apply the same standard

724
00:26:33,218 --> 00:26:34,096
to any other right.

725
00:26:35,467 --> 00:26:37,854
And I'm sure the silence will be deafening.

726
00:26:38,968 --> 00:26:40,821
Do it in email, do it in

727
00:26:41,276 --> 00:26:44,243
actually physically writing them, do it in

728
00:26:44,553 --> 00:26:45,268
a phone call.

729
00:26:46,380 --> 00:26:47,651
In last but, not least,

730
00:26:48,366 --> 00:26:50,590
troll so hard on Social media.

731
00:26:51,384 --> 00:26:53,768
All other socials are on Facebook and Twitter.

732
00:26:54,579 --> 00:26:56,579
And Facebook's probably even better place to do

733
00:26:56,579 --> 00:26:57,779
it because a lot of people will see

734
00:26:57,779 --> 00:26:59,299
the comments. And when you tag them, they're

735
00:26:59,299 --> 00:27:00,980
gonna know exactly what they're tagged in.

736
00:27:01,633 --> 00:27:03,467
Twitter and x as I mentioned the other

737
00:27:03,467 --> 00:27:05,140
day is a little harder to track. It

738
00:27:05,140 --> 00:27:07,611
certainly is for me, but still, they're all

739
00:27:07,611 --> 00:27:09,125
over it. Tag away.

740
00:27:09,937 --> 00:27:12,031
And put posts with your own

741
00:27:12,487 --> 00:27:14,956
or my words. I don't care. Make them

742
00:27:14,956 --> 00:27:15,275
your own.

743
00:27:15,992 --> 00:27:18,398
Reward them, send them through chat Gp or

744
00:27:18,398 --> 00:27:20,472
whatever you gotta do, just get the ball

745
00:27:20,472 --> 00:27:22,088
rolling and get the party started

746
00:27:22,465 --> 00:27:22,965
and

747
00:27:23,741 --> 00:27:25,676
tag them on it in social media

748
00:27:26,308 --> 00:27:27,606
anything they post

749
00:27:28,223 --> 00:27:28,723
tag

750
00:27:29,579 --> 00:27:32,632
or respond or reply to it with questions

751
00:27:32,691 --> 00:27:34,535
for them. I know the silence will be

752
00:27:34,535 --> 00:27:36,758
deafening, but I'm telling you it's having impact,

753
00:27:37,234 --> 00:27:40,411
telling you it is being heard loud and

754
00:27:40,411 --> 00:27:42,499
clear. The 2 major issues that

755
00:27:43,286 --> 00:27:45,835
politicians up for reelection, this November are facing

756
00:27:45,835 --> 00:27:46,711
in Massachusetts.

757
00:27:47,268 --> 00:27:50,374
Is this massive migrant crisis that is affecting

758
00:27:50,374 --> 00:27:51,272
us and costing

759
00:27:51,583 --> 00:27:53,254
I just heard on the radio. It's it's

760
00:27:53,254 --> 00:27:56,698
nearing a billion dollar price tag. Number 2

761
00:27:56,994 --> 00:27:59,461
is this gun bill that is a loser

762
00:27:59,461 --> 00:28:00,177
for everybody.

763
00:28:00,908 --> 00:28:02,817
Except the, you know, water towns,

764
00:28:03,374 --> 00:28:03,874
Summer,

765
00:28:05,125 --> 00:28:06,000
Cambridge crowd.

766
00:28:06,557 --> 00:28:09,023
But you don't want your name associated with

767
00:28:09,023 --> 00:28:09,182
this,

768
00:28:09,993 --> 00:28:12,779
and this is not good. Not to mention,

769
00:28:13,257 --> 00:28:14,951
they've already seen brewing

770
00:28:15,326 --> 00:28:17,316
and yet they're doing it anyway. Right?

771
00:28:18,208 --> 00:28:20,282
They already know what's happened at the supreme

772
00:28:20,282 --> 00:28:22,756
court level and they're doing it anyway.

773
00:28:23,474 --> 00:28:24,511
It's amazing to me.

774
00:28:25,403 --> 00:28:27,710
That they they have such a lack of

775
00:28:27,710 --> 00:28:29,937
regard for their oath of office, that even

776
00:28:29,937 --> 00:28:31,551
when a c branch

777
00:28:32,259 --> 00:28:35,299
gives marching orders to the inferior courts about

778
00:28:35,299 --> 00:28:37,700
how to rule on a second amendment case.

779
00:28:38,420 --> 00:28:39,059
They don't care.

780
00:28:39,873 --> 00:28:41,707
They're like that. Throw it against the wall

781
00:28:41,707 --> 00:28:43,461
we'll see if it sticks. Who cares if

782
00:28:43,461 --> 00:28:46,411
it cost taxpayers millions of dollars. They look

783
00:28:46,411 --> 00:28:49,220
at you like a Atm. You're an open

784
00:28:49,220 --> 00:28:52,119
checkbook, they can reach into your pants pockets

785
00:28:52,820 --> 00:28:55,539
Without being charged with sexual assault and they

786
00:28:55,539 --> 00:28:57,220
can take the money right out of your

787
00:28:57,220 --> 00:28:58,747
wallet. It's unbelievable.

788
00:28:59,542 --> 00:29:01,450
I... I'm in a position right now where

789
00:29:01,609 --> 00:29:02,960
I'm selling a piece of property in the

790
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:03,937
long term capital,

791
00:29:04,391 --> 00:29:05,845
capital gain tax on it

792
00:29:06,220 --> 00:29:06,720
is

793
00:29:07,587 --> 00:29:08,701
so immoral.

794
00:29:09,497 --> 00:29:11,565
There were days when I almost lost the

795
00:29:11,565 --> 00:29:13,020
building that I bought

796
00:29:13,475 --> 00:29:15,169
because of the market

797
00:29:15,544 --> 00:29:17,150
conditions or the economy.

798
00:29:17,944 --> 00:29:19,931
And so as a result of owning it

799
00:29:19,931 --> 00:29:21,226
and holding it for

800
00:29:22,394 --> 00:29:23,825
whatever it is 14 years,

801
00:29:26,149 --> 00:29:28,546
Now that it's... The the market is has

802
00:29:28,546 --> 00:29:30,624
an upside potential and I can take advantage

803
00:29:30,624 --> 00:29:32,462
of it. The government wants to reach my

804
00:29:32,462 --> 00:29:34,060
pocket and take 34 percent of it.

805
00:29:34,872 --> 00:29:35,745
It's unbelievable.

806
00:29:36,459 --> 00:29:38,125
It is so madden,

807
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,220
and it's like, where did you help me?

808
00:29:42,109 --> 00:29:44,260
When times were rough when I was taking

809
00:29:44,260 --> 00:29:44,738
losses.

810
00:29:45,774 --> 00:29:48,085
You you didn't help me. Yeah. You didn't

811
00:29:48,085 --> 00:29:49,917
charge me any tax, but you also didn't

812
00:29:49,917 --> 00:29:52,560
help me. Hold on with you know, white

813
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:52,879
knuckles,

814
00:29:53,516 --> 00:29:55,107
and all of a sudden, the market swings

815
00:29:55,107 --> 00:29:57,654
around and you're, like, pay up pal, pay

816
00:29:57,654 --> 00:29:58,132
the piper.

817
00:29:58,768 --> 00:30:00,201
I know I'm preaching to the choir here.

818
00:30:01,729 --> 00:30:04,046
How about cruise shank versus the United States,

819
00:30:04,206 --> 00:30:05,345
which is 1 of the

820
00:30:06,443 --> 00:30:08,601
supreme court cases that the left likes the

821
00:30:08,601 --> 00:30:11,268
point to to... Point to a historical analog

822
00:30:11,644 --> 00:30:13,874
for restricting people from bearing arms.

823
00:30:14,591 --> 00:30:16,662
Even though it was trying to keep guns

824
00:30:16,662 --> 00:30:18,016
out of the hands of black people,

825
00:30:18,748 --> 00:30:20,503
they they'd say, oh, well, we don't agree

826
00:30:20,503 --> 00:30:23,156
with that anymore, even though their policies

827
00:30:23,773 --> 00:30:26,565
really do affect minority communities more than anybody.

828
00:30:28,414 --> 00:30:30,882
But back in the 18 75, which isn't

829
00:30:30,882 --> 00:30:32,337
even the analogous period

830
00:30:32,793 --> 00:30:34,964
for when you have to

831
00:30:35,420 --> 00:30:36,057
show that the...

832
00:30:36,788 --> 00:30:38,616
United States restricted people.

833
00:30:39,252 --> 00:30:40,841
It's actually 17 91.

834
00:30:41,239 --> 00:30:43,384
It's an eighteenth century thing, but Cruise sc

835
00:30:43,384 --> 00:30:45,790
first Us, says the right to bear arms

836
00:30:45,790 --> 00:30:47,784
is not granted by the constitution.

837
00:30:50,017 --> 00:30:50,735
You don't say.

838
00:30:51,692 --> 00:30:53,069
Neither is it in any

839
00:30:53,446 --> 00:30:53,946
manner

840
00:30:54,500 --> 00:30:55,000
dependent

841
00:30:55,539 --> 00:30:57,539
upon that instrument for its existence.

842
00:30:58,099 --> 00:30:58,900
Wait a minute.

843
00:30:59,299 --> 00:31:00,900
I thought the bill of rights is what

844
00:31:00,900 --> 00:31:02,980
gave me the right to keep and bear

845
00:31:02,980 --> 00:31:03,299
arms.

846
00:31:04,034 --> 00:31:06,509
Well, not according to cruise shank is pre

847
00:31:06,509 --> 00:31:07,227
existed. Right?

848
00:31:07,946 --> 00:31:11,458
Which is obvious. It's axiom to the very

849
00:31:11,458 --> 00:31:12,815
text of the second amendment.

850
00:31:13,387 --> 00:31:14,365
The right

851
00:31:14,899 --> 00:31:16,808
to keep in bear arms.

852
00:31:18,001 --> 00:31:19,751
It acknowledges the right pre.

853
00:31:20,244 --> 00:31:21,439
By the way, I forgot to throw out

854
00:31:21,439 --> 00:31:22,713
the phone number, which we're getting in the

855
00:31:22,713 --> 00:31:23,350
call right now.

856
00:31:24,545 --> 00:31:27,333
But the second amendment means no more than

857
00:31:27,333 --> 00:31:30,159
that it shall not be infringe. By Congress.

858
00:31:30,779 --> 00:31:32,700
And has no other fact than to restrict

859
00:31:32,700 --> 00:31:35,019
the powers of the national government, and I

860
00:31:35,019 --> 00:31:37,512
would argue the state government too Alright. You're

861
00:31:37,512 --> 00:31:39,585
first up on rapid fire. Go ahead.

862
00:31:42,058 --> 00:31:43,893
Oh, hold on 1 sec. I gotta port

863
00:31:43,893 --> 00:31:45,488
you over. There we go. We should have

864
00:31:45,488 --> 00:31:47,898
you loud and clear now. Sorry? Go ahead.

865
00:31:48,057 --> 00:31:50,215
We got you now. Push push the right

866
00:31:50,215 --> 00:31:50,454
button.

867
00:31:51,972 --> 00:31:53,650
Yeah. So just a couple of quick points.

868
00:31:55,336 --> 00:31:57,347
Remember, all rights as citizens

869
00:31:58,039 --> 00:31:59,946
comes from the declaration of independence.

870
00:32:00,582 --> 00:32:02,251
That's where the right to keep and their

871
00:32:02,251 --> 00:32:05,554
arms exist. Primarily. That's the prime directive

872
00:32:06,251 --> 00:32:08,506
because we have the right to alter

873
00:32:09,042 --> 00:32:12,174
or to abolish any government that becomes tyra

874
00:32:12,313 --> 00:32:12,711
towards us.

875
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:14,478
Mh.

876
00:32:15,670 --> 00:32:17,045
I would say though that

877
00:32:18,533 --> 00:32:19,885
I know what you mean, but I don't

878
00:32:19,885 --> 00:32:22,288
think a document gives us a right. That

879
00:32:22,288 --> 00:32:25,238
document is what acknowledges the right existed.

880
00:32:26,594 --> 00:32:28,907
Correct. It's put in writing. It's been signed

881
00:32:28,907 --> 00:32:31,474
to. It's quote contract with the people. Of

882
00:32:31,474 --> 00:32:33,972
the United States or as the

883
00:32:34,431 --> 00:32:37,388
constitution is a contract with the public servants.

884
00:32:37,867 --> 00:32:40,285
Who don't have rights in our legal fictions

885
00:32:41,235 --> 00:32:44,252
Right. I agree with that. Hundred percent. And...

886
00:32:44,650 --> 00:32:47,294
Okay. That's why we going. Yeah. Yeah. The

887
00:32:47,429 --> 00:32:49,573
constitution is a 1 way directional wall.

888
00:32:50,461 --> 00:32:53,799
That affects cor, not us. You know, it's

889
00:32:53,799 --> 00:32:55,627
the... It's a strict government, and that's what

890
00:32:55,706 --> 00:32:57,866
I meant by the cruise crucial, this vision

891
00:32:57,866 --> 00:33:00,487
was, you know, like you said, when you

892
00:33:00,487 --> 00:33:03,210
emailed me, It's it's acknowledging the right exists

893
00:33:03,504 --> 00:33:05,092
outside of the bill of rights.

894
00:33:05,663 --> 00:33:07,731
It's it's just saying... Again when it comes

895
00:33:07,731 --> 00:33:09,879
from the declaration of independent. Is what I'm

896
00:33:09,879 --> 00:33:13,140
saying? Yeah. And... Alright. It's firm there first

897
00:33:13,140 --> 00:33:13,776
and or?

898
00:33:14,269 --> 00:33:17,778
The suffolk resolves of 17 74.

899
00:33:18,177 --> 00:33:18,416
Yeah.

900
00:33:19,214 --> 00:33:21,367
So you've brought that up a bunch of

901
00:33:21,367 --> 00:33:23,282
times, Don, and I appreciate you doing that.

902
00:33:24,332 --> 00:33:26,023
Does the suffolk resolve

903
00:33:26,873 --> 00:33:27,373
in

904
00:33:27,746 --> 00:33:29,572
the only reason I don't bring that up

905
00:33:29,572 --> 00:33:31,740
is because, in my opinion, it's

906
00:33:32,510 --> 00:33:33,010
it's

907
00:33:33,878 --> 00:33:36,595
Yes, it pre the constitution, but I feel

908
00:33:36,595 --> 00:33:38,911
that the constitution super sees it. Correct?

909
00:33:40,683 --> 00:33:42,141
Well, yes. But the

910
00:33:42,599 --> 00:33:45,312
constitution affirm as does of the declaration of

911
00:33:45,312 --> 00:33:47,866
the independence, all rights established.

912
00:33:48,839 --> 00:33:51,240
Previous 2 those 2 documents,

913
00:33:52,359 --> 00:33:55,240
which would be the first continental congress the

914
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,599
second continental call, and the articles of consideration.

915
00:33:59,313 --> 00:34:01,217
It's the same thing here in Massachusetts.

916
00:34:01,693 --> 00:34:04,811
We recognize the Massachusetts body of Liberties

917
00:34:05,279 --> 00:34:06,097
from 16

918
00:34:06,472 --> 00:34:07,028
41.

919
00:34:07,585 --> 00:34:09,335
The rights that are contained therein in.

920
00:34:10,050 --> 00:34:12,380
And the the only statement in the Massachusetts

921
00:34:12,833 --> 00:34:15,096
constitution is is that unless it conflicts

922
00:34:15,946 --> 00:34:17,161
with the Massachusetts

923
00:34:17,692 --> 00:34:19,836
constitution or the rights contained near other people,

924
00:34:20,550 --> 00:34:23,027
then it is an null void. But if

925
00:34:23,027 --> 00:34:23,662
it doesn't,

926
00:34:24,297 --> 00:34:26,362
it has standing today. Mh.

927
00:34:27,792 --> 00:34:29,460
So that's why Was going with the suffolk

928
00:34:29,460 --> 00:34:31,525
resolve. I mean, it was adopted by the

929
00:34:31,763 --> 00:34:32,001
Us,

930
00:34:32,651 --> 00:34:32,810
Well,

931
00:34:33,682 --> 00:34:37,092
the the continental congress in September 17 74.

932
00:34:38,282 --> 00:34:38,519
So,

933
00:34:39,313 --> 00:34:41,871
that's why Going that. Now I never told

934
00:34:41,871 --> 00:34:42,030
you.

935
00:34:42,746 --> 00:34:44,576
I never told you that I met Suzanne

936
00:34:44,735 --> 00:34:45,372
G hop,

937
00:34:46,088 --> 00:34:48,555
the woman whose parents were killed at Louise

938
00:34:48,555 --> 00:34:49,055
cafeteria,

939
00:34:50,081 --> 00:34:52,386
And she was mandated by Texas law to

940
00:34:52,386 --> 00:34:54,135
keep her gun in the car. She couldn't

941
00:34:54,135 --> 00:34:55,350
bring it into the cafeteria.

942
00:34:55,724 --> 00:34:58,529
Right. She flew up here in early 2000

943
00:34:58,919 --> 00:35:01,072
to cover her mass, and I kept to

944
00:35:01,072 --> 00:35:03,304
sit right across the table with her and

945
00:35:03,304 --> 00:35:06,355
discuss the massachusetts its gun laws, which really

946
00:35:06,413 --> 00:35:08,181
discussed her, But Yeah. And this is a

947
00:35:08,181 --> 00:35:10,094
little historical fact there. Yeah.

948
00:35:10,731 --> 00:35:12,963
That's that's a tragic story and a very

949
00:35:12,963 --> 00:35:15,447
powerful testimony every time I see it. When

950
00:35:15,447 --> 00:35:17,512
she testified before Congress. And

951
00:35:18,147 --> 00:35:18,782
yeah, just

952
00:35:19,417 --> 00:35:22,116
just a tragedy, really. And I would argue,

953
00:35:22,275 --> 00:35:24,315
and I've said this many times that when

954
00:35:24,912 --> 00:35:26,984
when you look at what goes on in

955
00:35:26,984 --> 00:35:30,252
heavily gun restricted areas and the violence that

956
00:35:30,252 --> 00:35:31,686
naturally arises out of that,

957
00:35:32,737 --> 00:35:34,331
the the blood is on the hands of

958
00:35:34,331 --> 00:35:36,881
the policymakers makers and the and the mayors

959
00:35:36,881 --> 00:35:39,511
and the and the judges that let them

960
00:35:39,511 --> 00:35:39,750
go.

961
00:35:40,561 --> 00:35:42,071
You can't blame homeowners owners for that, which

962
00:35:42,071 --> 00:35:44,217
is what the media tries to do. And

963
00:35:44,217 --> 00:35:46,126
the politicians always try to point it back

964
00:35:46,126 --> 00:35:48,454
to the gun store and the straw purchasers

965
00:35:48,828 --> 00:35:51,793
and the people in Gary Indiana the stores

966
00:35:51,793 --> 00:35:53,968
in Indiana that are selling guns that

967
00:35:54,346 --> 00:35:55,165
over to

968
00:35:55,862 --> 00:35:56,260
Chicago.

969
00:35:57,074 --> 00:35:59,811
And you're saying gun unlock don't work. Oh

970
00:35:59,870 --> 00:36:02,506
okay. Yeah. So, the point I'm... You see

971
00:36:02,506 --> 00:36:03,326
if we just

972
00:36:04,037 --> 00:36:05,785
Go ahead. Go ahead. Yeah. I was just

973
00:36:05,785 --> 00:36:07,613
gonna save, like... Over if we just...

974
00:36:08,725 --> 00:36:10,315
We're talking over... If we just shut that.

975
00:36:11,284 --> 00:36:12,876
Yeah. If we just shut down the gun

976
00:36:12,876 --> 00:36:15,026
stores where they sell guns that are retained

977
00:36:15,026 --> 00:36:17,096
by criminals, if we shut them all down,

978
00:36:17,494 --> 00:36:19,326
well, we'll only get to 1 gun store,

979
00:36:19,659 --> 00:36:21,429
And if we shut that 1 down, then

980
00:36:21,485 --> 00:36:22,994
won't have guns anywhere. Now they.

981
00:36:23,709 --> 00:36:25,536
Yeah. The work just like the war on

982
00:36:25,536 --> 00:36:26,648
drugs did. Right? On.

983
00:36:29,842 --> 00:36:31,696
No they handle all those big

984
00:36:32,390 --> 00:36:35,338
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Now quickly, I mean, nobody

985
00:36:35,338 --> 00:36:38,340
has Ubi Cafeteria through pots or pans or

986
00:36:38,698 --> 00:36:40,849
dishes or tables or chairs at the guy

987
00:36:40,849 --> 00:36:42,203
with the gun, They just sat there and

988
00:36:42,203 --> 00:36:44,434
wait to be shot. Yes. That's the scariest

989
00:36:44,434 --> 00:36:46,122
part of all. Yes. I agree with you...

990
00:36:46,521 --> 00:36:48,434
I really boom me away. That's a a

991
00:36:48,434 --> 00:36:50,588
great point on. Thanks for the call, man.

992
00:36:50,747 --> 00:36:52,980
As always, you got great input. And I

993
00:36:52,980 --> 00:36:53,378
appreciate you.

994
00:36:54,909 --> 00:36:56,590
Alright. Bye. Thank you tony. Bye bye.

995
00:36:57,550 --> 00:36:59,869
05:08 4 04/04/2120

996
00:36:59,869 --> 00:37:01,550
is the number if you wanna be on

997
00:37:01,550 --> 00:37:01,869
with me.

998
00:37:02,844 --> 00:37:04,605
I'll put the ticker up. So if if

999
00:37:04,764 --> 00:37:05,724
I you forget it,

1000
00:37:06,605 --> 00:37:08,364
there it is. But, anyway,

1001
00:37:10,530 --> 00:37:13,545
Dawn raises a great 0.1

1002
00:37:13,545 --> 00:37:15,210
of the thing I remember from the vin...

1003
00:37:15,607 --> 00:37:17,455
Virginia tech shooting was

1004
00:37:17,843 --> 00:37:19,509
this guy is in the library. You means,

1005
00:37:19,588 --> 00:37:22,206
basically, walking down the line with his Walther

1006
00:37:22,206 --> 00:37:24,188
p 22 pistol putting into the back of

1007
00:37:24,188 --> 00:37:25,458
people's heads and pulling the trigger.

1008
00:37:26,029 --> 00:37:28,186
And everyone sitting there, and 1 guy said,

1009
00:37:28,347 --> 00:37:29,784
I was just waiting for it to be

1010
00:37:29,784 --> 00:37:30,504
my turn.

1011
00:37:31,223 --> 00:37:33,220
And it's like, holy smokes.

1012
00:37:33,873 --> 00:37:36,367
We have lost our way as as a

1013
00:37:36,744 --> 00:37:38,737
society if we think that it's a... We

1014
00:37:38,737 --> 00:37:40,013
just have to wait for our turn to

1015
00:37:40,013 --> 00:37:42,007
be executed, Like, no.

1016
00:37:42,818 --> 00:37:44,804
Like, I'm not going down without a fight.

1017
00:37:45,201 --> 00:37:47,925
I'm picking books and chairs and tables and,

1018
00:37:48,139 --> 00:37:48,378
you know,

1019
00:37:49,251 --> 00:37:52,602
shoes and fist, and I'm going down he's

1020
00:37:52,602 --> 00:37:55,463
going down with me. And eyeballs are coming

1021
00:37:55,463 --> 00:37:57,609
out in the process and bite marks are

1022
00:37:57,609 --> 00:38:00,788
gonna be had and chunks of skin will

1023
00:38:00,788 --> 00:38:03,822
will come come away if I'm disarmed in

1024
00:38:03,822 --> 00:38:04,616
the process, but,

1025
00:38:05,570 --> 00:38:07,897
this proves that we have

1026
00:38:08,907 --> 00:38:09,884
taken away

1027
00:38:10,274 --> 00:38:12,511
violence from society to the point where we

1028
00:38:12,511 --> 00:38:14,908
don't even think it's okay for self defense.

1029
00:38:15,547 --> 00:38:16,505
It's insanity.

1030
00:38:17,159 --> 00:38:19,166
You know, there's something to be said for

1031
00:38:19,301 --> 00:38:20,357
the old school

1032
00:38:20,730 --> 00:38:21,230
yard

1033
00:38:22,317 --> 00:38:24,483
meetings where 2 boys who,

1034
00:38:24,856 --> 00:38:25,174
you know,

1035
00:38:26,620 --> 00:38:28,075
take off their hats and

1036
00:38:28,451 --> 00:38:30,758
fight it lunchtime and get it detention and

1037
00:38:30,758 --> 00:38:32,350
then they shake hands and their best friends

1038
00:38:32,350 --> 00:38:33,067
after that. Right?

1039
00:38:33,718 --> 00:38:35,468
Or the kid who punches the bully in

1040
00:38:35,468 --> 00:38:35,945
the nose.

1041
00:38:36,502 --> 00:38:38,331
He shouldn't be suspended for 2 weeks like

1042
00:38:38,331 --> 00:38:40,264
the bully. He should be

1043
00:38:40,653 --> 00:38:41,925
you know, said, hey,

1044
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:44,866
you know what? Violence isn't always the, but

1045
00:38:44,866 --> 00:38:46,137
when the guy picking on you, and you

1046
00:38:46,137 --> 00:38:47,648
punch them in the nose to defend yourself.

1047
00:38:48,299 --> 00:38:50,132
That's a good idea. There's a lot of

1048
00:38:50,132 --> 00:38:51,010
people whose parents,

1049
00:38:51,966 --> 00:38:53,561
you know, if the bully picked on you

1050
00:38:53,561 --> 00:38:55,235
and you got home and told your dad

1051
00:38:55,235 --> 00:38:56,511
and he said, would you do about it?

1052
00:38:57,242 --> 00:38:58,750
Well, I I didn't do anything.

1053
00:38:59,463 --> 00:39:01,368
Well, tomorrow punch him in the nose.

1054
00:39:02,083 --> 00:39:03,987
You know, well, he'll beat the crap out

1055
00:39:03,987 --> 00:39:05,019
of me. Yep.

1056
00:39:05,670 --> 00:39:07,110
But at least you punched them in the

1057
00:39:07,110 --> 00:39:07,349
nose.

1058
00:39:08,070 --> 00:39:10,789
That's the mentality we need to have, not...

1059
00:39:11,269 --> 00:39:12,730
We gotta take our beating

1060
00:39:13,997 --> 00:39:14,235
Right?

1061
00:39:15,027 --> 00:39:17,033
That's not the way it is. It's

1062
00:39:17,405 --> 00:39:18,118
it's, hey.

1063
00:39:19,386 --> 00:39:21,464
And even if you are up pac and

1064
00:39:21,464 --> 00:39:23,452
you were willing to take a beating for

1065
00:39:23,452 --> 00:39:25,361
somebody or for some reason, fine.

1066
00:39:26,156 --> 00:39:26,872
That's okay.

1067
00:39:27,508 --> 00:39:29,576
But I'm not willing to let my family

1068
00:39:29,576 --> 00:39:30,212
take the beating.

1069
00:39:30,704 --> 00:39:32,857
And watch me stay there and say, come

1070
00:39:32,857 --> 00:39:35,170
on, guys. Take 1 for the team. My

1071
00:39:35,170 --> 00:39:37,642
daughter, my sons are you kidding me? I

1072
00:39:37,642 --> 00:39:40,090
would defend them with my life. And what

1073
00:39:40,448 --> 00:39:41,482
moral person wouldn't.

1074
00:39:42,437 --> 00:39:42,994
So really,

1075
00:39:43,630 --> 00:39:45,541
I understand if if you wanna turn the

1076
00:39:45,541 --> 00:39:47,132
other cheek for the sake of yourself.

1077
00:39:47,784 --> 00:39:49,880
But don't make your family do it too

1078
00:39:50,019 --> 00:39:52,813
for your moral superiority or whatever you wanna

1079
00:39:52,813 --> 00:39:54,729
call it. And believe me, I'm a christian.

1080
00:39:55,048 --> 00:39:57,136
I believe in turning the other cheek. I've

1081
00:39:57,136 --> 00:39:58,802
had people assault me and I didn't fight

1082
00:39:58,802 --> 00:39:59,040
back.

1083
00:39:59,675 --> 00:40:02,213
I don't believe I I need to. However,

1084
00:40:03,166 --> 00:40:06,436
my family is owed and has an obligation

1085
00:40:06,436 --> 00:40:08,424
and has a right to have their father

1086
00:40:08,424 --> 00:40:09,560
come home from work

1087
00:40:10,094 --> 00:40:11,684
and be a provider and a dad and

1088
00:40:11,684 --> 00:40:14,069
a, you know, my parents deserve to have

1089
00:40:14,069 --> 00:40:16,234
a son. They shouldn't have to bury me

1090
00:40:16,234 --> 00:40:18,705
before they go to the grave. Right? All

1091
00:40:18,705 --> 00:40:20,379
because I think some bad guy with a

1092
00:40:20,379 --> 00:40:22,531
gun you know, should be able to shoot

1093
00:40:22,531 --> 00:40:25,494
me. Now I don't wish upon anyone to

1094
00:40:25,494 --> 00:40:27,326
ever be in that situation of life and

1095
00:40:27,326 --> 00:40:28,043
death choices,

1096
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,751
but the truth of the matter is evil

1097
00:40:30,751 --> 00:40:31,867
exists in this world.

1098
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,358
And if we're not willing to defend the

1099
00:40:34,358 --> 00:40:36,935
innocent, defend of the the defenseless,

1100
00:40:38,193 --> 00:40:40,511
you know, we're we're not much better ourselves,

1101
00:40:40,751 --> 00:40:41,150
frankly.

1102
00:40:41,964 --> 00:40:42,443
05:08,

1103
00:40:43,083 --> 00:40:44,941
4 04/04/2120

1104
00:40:45,240 --> 00:40:47,876
of monologue longer than ever. We're gonna go

1105
00:40:47,876 --> 00:40:49,075
to a quick break.

1106
00:40:50,369 --> 00:40:52,446
Don't go away. Word from us sponsor.

1107
00:40:53,245 --> 00:40:55,743
We'll be right back. I'm to lee. Vortex

1108
00:40:55,882 --> 00:40:57,640
offers the very best optics.

1109
00:40:58,054 --> 00:41:01,005
Specifically made for shooters with rugged construction designed

1110
00:41:01,005 --> 00:41:02,201

In the second hour, we're gonna have John

1150
00:42:48,595 --> 00:42:50,428
Pet, the Penn patriot,

join us

1152
00:42:52,181 --> 00:42:53,536
for a lively discussion.

1153
00:42:54,268 --> 00:42:55,702
Over there. So I'm happy to

1154
00:42:56,977 --> 00:42:58,889
announce he'll be joining us in the second

1155
00:42:58,889 --> 00:42:59,128
hour.

1156
00:43:00,084 --> 00:43:00,584
So

1157
00:43:01,611 --> 00:43:03,519
couple quick notes. If you wanna be on

1158
00:43:03,519 --> 00:43:06,619
the phone with me, it's 05:08 4 04/04/2120.

1159
00:43:07,175 --> 00:43:08,844
You can also type your question in the

1160
00:43:08,844 --> 00:43:10,116
chat and hopefully, we'll get to it.

1161
00:43:12,603 --> 00:43:13,081
Let's see,

1162
00:43:13,799 --> 00:43:15,235
Mike is talking about how it is in

1163
00:43:15,315 --> 00:43:17,548
California with a... He bought a loretta Tom

1164
00:43:17,548 --> 00:43:19,542
cat, which we can't even sell by the

1165
00:43:19,542 --> 00:43:21,552
way, Mike, So you got that going for

1166
00:43:21,552 --> 00:43:24,126
you, yesterday, and now it sits in California's

1167
00:43:24,344 --> 00:43:27,138
10 to 30 day background check jail. Yes.

1168
00:43:27,377 --> 00:43:29,786
And I know... California has a 1 in

1169
00:43:29,786 --> 00:43:31,540
30. Right? You can only buy a gun

1170
00:43:31,540 --> 00:43:34,731
a month in California like, New Jersey and,

1171
00:43:35,449 --> 00:43:37,123
whoever thought that was a good idea. You

1172
00:43:37,123 --> 00:43:38,102
already have guns

1173
00:43:38,654 --> 00:43:39,552
that you could

1174
00:43:40,169 --> 00:43:41,763
potentially do some evil with.

1175
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:43,140
But

1176
00:43:44,793 --> 00:43:46,706
if you wanna buy 2 guns in 1

1177
00:43:46,706 --> 00:43:49,736
month, that's a warning sign that you might

1178
00:43:49,736 --> 00:43:50,712
be plotting

1179
00:43:51,876 --> 00:43:54,278
evil intent upon this earth

1180
00:43:54,983 --> 00:43:56,655
It's like, give me a break. Are you

1181
00:43:56,655 --> 00:43:59,681
out of your minds? This is a constitutional

1182
00:43:59,681 --> 00:44:01,512
protected right. It's like, you can only go

1183
00:44:01,512 --> 00:44:02,706
to church once a month.

1184
00:44:03,758 --> 00:44:04,796
I'm sure they'd love that.

1185
00:44:05,674 --> 00:44:07,111
Some of these politicians anyway.

1186
00:44:08,868 --> 00:44:11,981
And there's the Penn patriot now. Good afternoon,

1187
00:44:12,301 --> 00:44:12,620
Patriots.

1188
00:44:14,150 --> 00:44:16,699
Charlie is in the in the chat as

1189
00:44:16,699 --> 00:44:18,212
well. Riding Shotgun with Charlie,

1190
00:44:19,008 --> 00:44:19,907
has a great

1191
00:44:20,362 --> 00:44:21,956
Youtube channel. You should go check it out.

1192
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,623
I think episode 01:43,

1193
00:44:25,940 --> 00:44:28,005
if I'm not mistaken is probably the best

1194
00:44:28,005 --> 00:44:28,878
1 he's ever done,

1195
00:44:29,989 --> 00:44:30,942
which is not true.

1196
00:44:31,673 --> 00:44:32,390
Not even close,

1197
00:44:33,266 --> 00:44:34,541
and I don't know if that number's right.

1198
00:44:34,700 --> 00:44:37,170
It might be 01:46 or 01:47 or whatever.

1199
00:44:37,568 --> 00:44:39,400
It's way after a hundred. So it took

1200
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,009
me a while to get on that show

1201
00:44:41,009 --> 00:44:43,246
and ride in the coach, the stage coach,

1202
00:44:43,406 --> 00:44:44,125
But, anyway,

1203
00:44:44,924 --> 00:44:46,921
we're glad to have him in the audience

1204
00:44:46,921 --> 00:44:48,770
and he's got a great Joey has a

1205
00:44:48,770 --> 00:44:50,702
very unique Youtube channel, which you

1206
00:44:51,236 --> 00:44:53,384
should check out and follow and like and

1207
00:44:53,384 --> 00:44:53,622
subscribe.

1208
00:44:54,974 --> 00:44:56,345
Joey Let's see,

1209
00:44:58,736 --> 00:44:59,236
Eric

1210
00:45:00,090 --> 00:45:02,822
Wilder, who is a former range

1211
00:45:03,611 --> 00:45:06,654
manager here at Cape moved. He left

1212
00:45:07,823 --> 00:45:09,492
the iron curtain.

1213
00:45:10,048 --> 00:45:11,740
He managed to escape

1214
00:45:12,289 --> 00:45:14,367
and go to the shine state, and he

1215
00:45:14,367 --> 00:45:16,285
rubs it in our face every chance he

1216
00:45:16,285 --> 00:45:16,445
gets.

1217
00:45:17,244 --> 00:45:19,082
And works at a gun store down there,

1218
00:45:19,242 --> 00:45:23,086
selling suppressor, selling High capacity, you know, standard

1219
00:45:23,086 --> 00:45:25,715
capacity magazines here, I am using Massachusetts Lingo.

1220
00:45:26,273 --> 00:45:27,730
Those large clips

1221
00:45:28,186 --> 00:45:30,177
that hold more than 10 rounds.

1222
00:45:31,148 --> 00:45:31,467
And

1223
00:45:32,421 --> 00:45:34,807
he he loves his job. I'm sure, and

1224
00:45:34,807 --> 00:45:36,319
he says he sold a gun to a

1225
00:45:36,319 --> 00:45:38,878
retired swat guy from New York, who,

1226
00:45:39,671 --> 00:45:41,973
confirmed the background check for Ammo story, which,

1227
00:45:42,052 --> 00:45:45,386
yes. That is absolutely a thing. It's unbelievable,

1228
00:45:46,021 --> 00:45:47,941
but that is the the way it is

1229
00:45:47,941 --> 00:45:48,441
in

1230
00:45:49,608 --> 00:45:51,829
New York right now. It's it's madden.

1231
00:45:52,306 --> 00:45:54,472
You can't ship Ammo there. You can't

1232
00:45:57,010 --> 00:45:58,844
and you have to do a background check

1233
00:45:58,844 --> 00:46:00,838
in order to buy it. It's it's just...

1234
00:46:02,194 --> 00:46:03,789
I'd love to see where it says in

1235
00:46:03,789 --> 00:46:06,275
the text and the second amendment just like

1236
00:46:06,275 --> 00:46:08,024
the 1 gun a month or the, you

1237
00:46:08,024 --> 00:46:09,137
know, 30 day wait,

1238
00:46:10,330 --> 00:46:12,397
while they conduct their background check for someone

1239
00:46:12,397 --> 00:46:14,862
who's already licensed and background checked every which

1240
00:46:14,862 --> 00:46:15,751
way Sunday.

1241
00:46:17,338 --> 00:46:19,958
Anyway, the nuke gun laws did not come

1242
00:46:19,958 --> 00:46:22,023
out of committee yet g webs. That's why

1243
00:46:22,181 --> 00:46:24,087
I'm sounding the alarm. I'm trying to say,

1244
00:46:24,895 --> 00:46:25,133
guys.

1245
00:46:25,927 --> 00:46:26,641
Let's do this.

1246
00:46:27,355 --> 00:46:29,022
Let's hammer them. We got a week left

1247
00:46:29,022 --> 00:46:31,244
to hammer them and tell them how we

1248
00:46:31,244 --> 00:46:32,672
feel about it and say,

1249
00:46:34,284 --> 00:46:35,644
where do you get the right to do

1250
00:46:35,644 --> 00:46:35,885
this?

1251
00:46:37,085 --> 00:46:38,605
And by the way, when it does come

1252
00:46:38,605 --> 00:46:38,844
out,

1253
00:46:39,644 --> 00:46:41,969
they're shooting for 07:15.

1254
00:46:42,128 --> 00:46:44,109
So next week, the fifteenth,

1255
00:46:45,060 --> 00:46:50,733
which is ironically similar to 07/20/2016,

1256
00:46:51,346 --> 00:46:52,800
which is when

1257
00:46:53,174 --> 00:46:54,844
mo He Edi came out.

1258
00:46:57,149 --> 00:46:57,649
So

1259
00:46:58,677 --> 00:47:01,651
apparently, bad things happen in July when

1260
00:47:02,508 --> 00:47:04,902
people are on summer vacation, not paying attention.

1261
00:47:05,141 --> 00:47:06,670
I don't know. They tried to pull a

1262
00:47:06,670 --> 00:47:09,003
fast 1 on us last year, Marian

1263
00:47:09,857 --> 00:47:11,848
forcing it through as we monologue in the

1264
00:47:11,848 --> 00:47:12,963
first part of the show.

1265
00:47:14,318 --> 00:47:14,818
So

1266
00:47:15,766 --> 00:47:18,096
Yeah. It hasn't come out yet. It's scheduled

1267
00:47:18,311 --> 00:47:20,300
to come out. I mean, not scheduled, but

1268
00:47:20,300 --> 00:47:22,184
they're aiming to get it out in 5

1269
00:47:22,304 --> 00:47:24,128
days so that gives us 5 days to

1270
00:47:24,128 --> 00:47:26,428
hammer them and remind them that they should

1271
00:47:26,428 --> 00:47:28,490
steer clear of further restrictions on our second

1272
00:47:28,490 --> 00:47:30,808
amendment. If they wanna do any good around

1273
00:47:30,808 --> 00:47:33,620
the laws in Massachusetts. They should start to

1274
00:47:33,678 --> 00:47:35,512
reduce them. They should start to take them

1275
00:47:35,512 --> 00:47:36,730
away as they affect

1276
00:47:37,107 --> 00:47:38,621
lawful peaceful citizens.

1277
00:47:39,753 --> 00:47:42,467
And get on the right side of history,

1278
00:47:43,026 --> 00:47:45,022
maybe do away with the license to carry,

1279
00:47:45,421 --> 00:47:47,098
maybe do away with the F card.

1280
00:47:47,896 --> 00:47:50,795
By the way, we talked about how the

1281
00:47:50,929 --> 00:47:52,775
state has appealed the Donald

1282
00:47:53,622 --> 00:47:55,603
case, which was at a lowell district court.

1283
00:47:56,173 --> 00:47:56,887
Last year that,

1284
00:47:58,316 --> 00:48:00,459
gentleman from New Hampshire or maybe he's Vermont,

1285
00:48:01,332 --> 00:48:03,499
came into Massachusetts and was

1286
00:48:03,808 --> 00:48:05,557
carrying a gun, and he got arrested for

1287
00:48:05,557 --> 00:48:07,782
unlawful possession of a magazine and a gun

1288
00:48:07,782 --> 00:48:10,327
and ammunition and everything else. He threw the

1289
00:48:10,327 --> 00:48:12,632
book adam. He won in district court.

1290
00:48:13,682 --> 00:48:15,437
In light of the Brewing mandate,

1291
00:48:15,916 --> 00:48:16,315
and

1292
00:48:17,271 --> 00:48:20,462
the state is appealed this decision. And I

1293
00:48:20,462 --> 00:48:22,876
believe oral arguments are being scheduled. So

1294
00:48:24,225 --> 00:48:24,464
so

1295
00:48:25,341 --> 00:48:27,117
that's something to watch

1296
00:48:27,574 --> 00:48:28,690
as well. And

1297
00:48:29,487 --> 00:48:31,320
they can't lose that 1. Right?

1298
00:48:31,973 --> 00:48:33,648
And I think that's gonna be great if

1299
00:48:33,648 --> 00:48:35,105
they... If it goes to the

1300
00:48:35,881 --> 00:48:37,716
first circuit court of appeals, and they lose.

1301
00:48:38,753 --> 00:48:40,746
Oh, man. That's gonna be wonderful, because guess

1302
00:48:40,746 --> 00:48:40,906
what?

1303
00:48:42,119 --> 00:48:45,234
That will change the licensing scheme,

1304
00:48:45,953 --> 00:48:48,270
especially the non resident licensing scheme forever.

1305
00:48:48,925 --> 00:48:49,885
And I love the

1306
00:48:50,364 --> 00:48:52,444
judge in the Donald case when he said,

1307
00:48:53,005 --> 00:48:54,684
we don't check any other right at the

1308
00:48:54,684 --> 00:48:55,405
state line.

1309
00:48:56,204 --> 00:48:57,405
Right? And he's right.

1310
00:48:58,376 --> 00:48:59,885
You can go to church in another state.

1311
00:49:00,045 --> 00:49:02,904
You can, you know, write a paper. You

1312
00:49:02,904 --> 00:49:03,404
can

1313
00:49:04,016 --> 00:49:04,914
speak at a

1314
00:49:05,223 --> 00:49:08,005
public event in any other state. You can...

1315
00:49:08,483 --> 00:49:11,344
You don't forfeit your fourth amendment rights or

1316
00:49:11,344 --> 00:49:12,909
your fifth amendment rights or

1317
00:49:14,150 --> 00:49:16,150
at the state line. So anyway,

1318
00:49:17,829 --> 00:49:18,309
we have that.

1319
00:49:20,882 --> 00:49:23,186
And can I go over how long this

1320
00:49:23,186 --> 00:49:24,561
bill will be implemented?

1321
00:49:24,935 --> 00:49:27,716
It's usually after it passes a hundred and

1322
00:49:27,716 --> 00:49:29,226
20 to a hundred and 80 days.

1323
00:49:29,877 --> 00:49:31,545
Depending on which version of the bill comes

1324
00:49:31,545 --> 00:49:33,768
out, I think they're trying to get it

1325
00:49:33,768 --> 00:49:35,515
on the shorter side, like, a hundred and

1326
00:49:35,515 --> 00:49:37,047
20 days. So

1327
00:49:37,754 --> 00:49:40,542
if it comes out, let's just speculate here

1328
00:49:40,542 --> 00:49:41,498
wildly speculate.

1329
00:49:43,251 --> 00:49:44,685
If it comes out on the fifteenth,

1330
00:49:45,337 --> 00:49:46,076
that gives

1331
00:49:46,609 --> 00:49:47,109
the

1332
00:49:48,598 --> 00:49:50,609
legislature about 15 days

1333
00:49:51,143 --> 00:49:54,023
to bring it to floor vote up or

1334
00:49:54,023 --> 00:49:55,856
down in the senate and on the house.

1335
00:49:56,334 --> 00:49:57,689
And it's just gonna go straight to the

1336
00:49:57,689 --> 00:49:59,362
floor. There's not gonna be any public input.

1337
00:49:59,522 --> 00:50:01,355
There's not gonna be any debate, I believe,

1338
00:50:01,769 --> 00:50:02,968
I think it just gets put out to

1339
00:50:02,968 --> 00:50:04,567
the floor for an up down vote.

1340
00:50:05,206 --> 00:50:06,644
And if it succeeds,

1341
00:50:07,763 --> 00:50:09,841
then it goes straight to the governor's desk

1342
00:50:09,841 --> 00:50:11,612
for signature. Once she's, signs it.

1343
00:50:12,409 --> 00:50:14,402
It's about a hundred and 20 days. So

1344
00:50:14,402 --> 00:50:16,156
what I have been saying in the last

1345
00:50:16,156 --> 00:50:18,389
few weeks is just get what you want

1346
00:50:18,389 --> 00:50:19,526
now, just

1347
00:50:19,838 --> 00:50:20,814
just get your

1348
00:50:22,855 --> 00:50:26,428
Ar alternative, Get whatever semi automatic rifle, you

1349
00:50:26,428 --> 00:50:27,063
wanna have,

1350
00:50:27,699 --> 00:50:28,334
get it now.

1351
00:50:29,224 --> 00:50:32,333
And frankly, there's there's even things in their

1352
00:50:32,891 --> 00:50:34,804
in the original version which they could bring

1353
00:50:34,804 --> 00:50:36,101
back and committee

1354
00:50:36,637 --> 00:50:37,137
that

1355
00:50:38,007 --> 00:50:39,543
did away with pre band magazines

1356
00:50:40,478 --> 00:50:41,615
that did away with

1357
00:50:42,869 --> 00:50:44,782
grandfather in clauses. We don't know what's gonna

1358
00:50:44,782 --> 00:50:46,466
come out. I don't think it's gonna be

1359
00:50:46,466 --> 00:50:47,601
as bad, but

1360
00:50:48,531 --> 00:50:50,119
you never know. And by the way,

1361
00:50:50,834 --> 00:50:52,367
that'd be a good time to

1362
00:50:52,978 --> 00:50:53,955
remind you guys

1363
00:50:55,296 --> 00:50:56,484
to go vote in our poll.

1364
00:50:57,119 --> 00:50:57,990
Let's check that out.

1365
00:51:01,001 --> 00:51:03,420
This week's poll is with the Massachusetts

1366
00:51:03,874 --> 00:51:05,646
legislature working fe

1367
00:51:06,895 --> 00:51:09,042
behind the scenes in this conference committee to

1368
00:51:09,042 --> 00:51:10,258
come out with a bill

1369
00:51:10,648 --> 00:51:12,239
that they can vote up or down and

1370
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,307
get the governor Heal desk before the end

1371
00:51:14,307 --> 00:51:14,864
of the month.

1372
00:51:16,057 --> 00:51:19,014
Will the legislature go with H413

1373
00:51:19,014 --> 00:51:21,400
nines language and just stick with that. Will

1374
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,865
they stick with the senate, move and replace

1375
00:51:23,865 --> 00:51:26,648
bill for senate bill 21 84.

1376
00:51:27,379 --> 00:51:29,845
Which is a little less worse than 4139

1377
00:51:29,845 --> 00:51:30,402
for gun owners,

1378
00:51:31,197 --> 00:51:31,697
or

1379
00:51:32,072 --> 00:51:33,902
thirdly, will they come out with a hybrid,

1380
00:51:34,474 --> 00:51:37,048
that's less offensive of both bills

1381
00:51:37,506 --> 00:51:39,581
or last but not at least, nothing will

1382
00:51:39,581 --> 00:51:41,677
happen. They're gonna let it die in conference

1383
00:51:42,228 --> 00:51:44,055
and it's not gonna emerge and get voted

1384
00:51:44,055 --> 00:51:46,677
in by our governor. So I'd love to

1385
00:51:46,677 --> 00:51:48,028
know what you think, so go over to

1386
00:51:48,028 --> 00:51:50,034
x and vote our poll. Those are your

1387
00:51:50,034 --> 00:51:50,434
choices,

1388
00:51:50,835 --> 00:51:52,755
and I'll see you on rapid fire radio.

1389
00:51:52,994 --> 00:51:53,715
Thanks for tuning in.

1390
00:51:55,635 --> 00:51:57,074
Alright. Well, there you have that.

1391
00:51:58,609 --> 00:51:59,963
So, yeah, I'd love to know what you

1392
00:51:59,963 --> 00:52:00,919
guys think about that.

1393
00:52:02,193 --> 00:52:02,693
And

1394
00:52:03,786 --> 00:52:04,526
I hope

1395
00:52:04,981 --> 00:52:07,610
it's option 4 that it dies in committee.

1396
00:52:08,262 --> 00:52:08,659
Believe me.

1397
00:52:09,773 --> 00:52:10,648
I really hope it is.

1398
00:52:12,476 --> 00:52:14,623
So much patriotism at this moment.

1399
00:52:15,578 --> 00:52:17,486
Thank you, Mark. I appreciate it. And Mark,

1400
00:52:17,900 --> 00:52:19,420
You guys should all take a part page

1401
00:52:19,420 --> 00:52:21,980
out of Mark's book. Not only has he

1402
00:52:21,980 --> 00:52:22,480
trolled

1403
00:52:22,780 --> 00:52:24,380
Michael Day with t shirts,

1404
00:52:24,940 --> 00:52:26,880
but he is expert level

1405
00:52:27,353 --> 00:52:30,305
trolling Michael Day on social media, and he

1406
00:52:30,305 --> 00:52:32,538
doesn't let him come up for air. He

1407
00:52:32,538 --> 00:52:35,489
hammers him hard, and I appreciate that. So

1408
00:52:35,489 --> 00:52:37,059
you guys could be like Mark

1409
00:52:37,497 --> 00:52:39,009
and do your part and,

1410
00:52:39,804 --> 00:52:40,918
trolling all of these guys.

1411
00:52:41,713 --> 00:52:43,009
And I agree with you

1412
00:52:44,274 --> 00:52:46,269
John that our rights come from our creator.

1413
00:52:46,668 --> 00:52:49,562
I mean, it's en ent in in the

1414
00:52:49,940 --> 00:52:51,716
constitution. We hold these rights

1415
00:52:52,190 --> 00:52:53,869
to be self evident.

1416
00:52:54,670 --> 00:52:57,550
Man, if that doesn't speak to something that

1417
00:52:57,550 --> 00:52:59,070
we lack in American nowadays,

1418
00:52:59,804 --> 00:53:02,220
it was so obvious to the founders

1419
00:53:02,838 --> 00:53:04,994
that they wrote that it was self evident.

1420
00:53:05,153 --> 00:53:07,969
You know, hey, guys, These these things are

1421
00:53:08,187 --> 00:53:08,427
obvious.

1422
00:53:10,351 --> 00:53:12,648
It isn't, like, we need to tell you

1423
00:53:12,648 --> 00:53:13,545
about them because

1424
00:53:13,995 --> 00:53:16,635
you don't know about them. It's because

1425
00:53:17,263 --> 00:53:19,177
you know about them. I know about them,

1426
00:53:20,054 --> 00:53:23,026
the tyra government knows about them, but their

1427
00:53:23,404 --> 00:53:25,637
tyrant and they're restricting these rights.

1428
00:53:26,769 --> 00:53:28,627
That all men are created equal

1429
00:53:29,166 --> 00:53:31,504
and are endowed by

1430
00:53:32,122 --> 00:53:33,182
the Massachusetts

1431
00:53:33,561 --> 00:53:33,880
legislature.

1432
00:53:34,773 --> 00:53:35,273
No.

1433
00:53:36,446 --> 00:53:39,257
They're endowed by their creator with certain

1434
00:53:39,872 --> 00:53:40,372
una,

1435
00:53:41,465 --> 00:53:41,965
una

1436
00:53:42,581 --> 00:53:43,081
rights

1437
00:53:44,666 --> 00:53:47,051
You can't attach to them. You can't put

1438
00:53:47,051 --> 00:53:49,436
conditions on them. You can't put requirements on

1439
00:53:49,436 --> 00:53:51,025
them. You can't charge a fee for them.

1440
00:53:51,184 --> 00:53:52,854
You can't issue a license for them.

1441
00:53:53,824 --> 00:53:56,861
Liberty without license, like the holy yoke, is

1442
00:53:56,861 --> 00:53:57,681
it the holy

1443
00:53:58,619 --> 00:54:02,056
courthouse or can't Camden County Courthouse says, Liberty

1444
00:54:02,056 --> 00:54:02,615
without license.

1445
00:54:05,107 --> 00:54:05,607
That

1446
00:54:07,904 --> 00:54:08,883
certain una

1447
00:54:09,422 --> 00:54:11,520
rights among them are

1448
00:54:12,392 --> 00:54:12,711
life,

1449
00:54:13,907 --> 00:54:14,407
liberty

1450
00:54:15,023 --> 00:54:16,218
and the pursuit of happiness.

1451
00:54:16,856 --> 00:54:18,690
How do you have life if you can't

1452
00:54:18,690 --> 00:54:18,929
defend it?

1453
00:54:20,459 --> 00:54:22,217
Life is worth defending. Right?

1454
00:54:23,096 --> 00:54:24,773
If someone else can just take that from

1455
00:54:24,773 --> 00:54:26,291
you, is it really a right?

1456
00:54:27,090 --> 00:54:27,330
No.

1457
00:54:29,571 --> 00:54:30,071
Liberty

1458
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:31,739
is

1459
00:54:32,430 --> 00:54:34,415
the freedom to do what you want without

1460
00:54:34,415 --> 00:54:35,288
government intrusion,

1461
00:54:36,083 --> 00:54:36,718
small government.

1462
00:54:37,687 --> 00:54:38,802
Self government.

1463
00:54:39,837 --> 00:54:41,827
In order in order to take care of

1464
00:54:41,827 --> 00:54:44,853
yourself, your household, provide, do the best job

1465
00:54:44,853 --> 00:54:45,331
you can.

1466
00:54:45,904 --> 00:54:48,160
And government's gonna get out of your way

1467
00:54:48,458 --> 00:54:49,496
and let you do it.

1468
00:54:50,454 --> 00:54:53,009
And by the way, if government says they're

1469
00:54:53,009 --> 00:54:55,186
gonna get in their way your way and

1470
00:54:55,898 --> 00:54:56,935
prohibit you from doing it.

1471
00:54:57,892 --> 00:54:59,647
That's where the second amendment comes in.

1472
00:55:00,445 --> 00:55:02,200
And he say, no. Just like Don said,

1473
00:55:02,613 --> 00:55:04,226
we have a right to

1474
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:06,587
dispose of tyra governments.

1475
00:55:07,223 --> 00:55:08,677
It's acknowledged right in our

1476
00:55:09,051 --> 00:55:09,869
right in our

1477
00:55:11,211 --> 00:55:12,322
founding documents.

1478
00:55:13,672 --> 00:55:14,942
And so anyway,

1479
00:55:15,736 --> 00:55:16,450
there you have that.

1480
00:55:18,371 --> 00:55:18,768
Quickly,

1481
00:55:19,720 --> 00:55:21,546
I am number 01:43,

1482
00:55:22,261 --> 00:55:25,039
and the Penn patriot is number 93. He

1483
00:55:25,039 --> 00:55:26,469
he made a big time before me.

1484
00:55:27,754 --> 00:55:28,310
I I...

1485
00:55:29,025 --> 00:55:30,454
It took me a while to get on

1486
00:55:30,454 --> 00:55:32,518
riding shotgun. Come with Charlie. You know, that's

1487
00:55:32,518 --> 00:55:34,980
fine. I get it, but better late than

1488
00:55:34,980 --> 00:55:36,824
never is all I got to say. But

1489
00:55:36,824 --> 00:55:38,342
if anyone wants to hear the story of

1490
00:55:38,342 --> 00:55:40,021
how Cape Gun works was founded and you

1491
00:55:40,021 --> 00:55:40,760
don't know

1492
00:55:41,379 --> 00:55:43,536
how that was. We tell that story on

1493
00:55:43,536 --> 00:55:46,186
the writing shotgun Charlie was pretty cool. Pretty

1494
00:55:46,186 --> 00:55:48,332
cool to actually, we're driving around and I'm

1495
00:55:48,332 --> 00:55:50,319
like, hey, in that building over there is

1496
00:55:50,319 --> 00:55:52,385
where it all started. It's kinda neat a

1497
00:55:52,385 --> 00:55:53,657
spoiler alert. Sorry about that.

1498
00:55:55,023 --> 00:55:57,322
They state king of gl. Yes. We are,

1499
00:55:58,115 --> 00:56:00,653
no doubt. And, Miguel, I I am empathize

1500
00:56:00,653 --> 00:56:00,970
for you.

1501
00:56:01,842 --> 00:56:04,642
Lt is a scam contacted my local Pd

1502
00:56:04,642 --> 00:56:07,293
in November with my intentions to submit that

1503
00:56:07,351 --> 00:56:08,807
application and still in the process

1504
00:56:09,263 --> 00:56:11,255
just submitted my prints last month and I'm

1505
00:56:11,255 --> 00:56:13,581
still waiting for the interview.

1506
00:56:14,538 --> 00:56:17,329
Unbelievable. A right delayed is a right denied.

1507
00:56:19,402 --> 00:56:20,918
I don't know who said that, but I

1508
00:56:20,918 --> 00:56:21,418
certainly

1509
00:56:22,369 --> 00:56:22,609
agree.

1510
00:56:23,329 --> 00:56:23,650
And

1511
00:56:25,010 --> 00:56:25,409
let's see.

1512
00:56:26,449 --> 00:56:28,289
And now we weighed on politicians.

1513
00:56:28,929 --> 00:56:29,089
Oh,

1514
00:56:30,289 --> 00:56:32,460
Lin balm was called the coin the base

1515
00:56:32,460 --> 00:56:33,891
8 king of gl. I get it.

1516
00:56:34,845 --> 00:56:36,594
Sorry. I was missing that myself.

1517
00:56:39,059 --> 00:56:39,559
But

1518
00:56:42,891 --> 00:56:43,130
yeah.

1519
00:56:45,436 --> 00:56:47,266
We do wait for politicians to tell us

1520
00:56:47,266 --> 00:56:47,664
what to do.

1521
00:56:48,635 --> 00:56:50,394
Alright. We're gonna go to a quick break

1522
00:56:50,394 --> 00:56:52,155
and on the other side, we're gonna get

1523
00:56:52,155 --> 00:56:53,855
right to it with John

1524
00:56:54,315 --> 00:56:55,994
Pet, the penn patriot.

1525
00:56:56,409 --> 00:56:58,469
So you don't wanna miss out on that.

1526
00:56:59,500 --> 00:57:00,554
It's gonna be a

1527
00:57:00,926 --> 00:57:01,402
phenomenal,

1528
00:57:03,700 --> 00:57:05,544
so discussion, I am sure.

1529
00:57:06,181 --> 00:57:06,340
And,

1530
00:57:07,612 --> 00:57:10,078
but right now, we're gonna go to a

1531
00:57:10,078 --> 00:57:10,578
quick

1532
00:57:12,890 --> 00:57:14,570
kind of the week video, which I think

1533
00:57:14,570 --> 00:57:17,210
you'll find interesting. It's not my typical done

1534
00:57:17,210 --> 00:57:18,590
of the week. So

1535
00:57:19,289 --> 00:57:20,583
here you have that. And

1536
00:57:21,695 --> 00:57:23,126
Rapid fired, kind of a week.

1537
00:57:26,465 --> 00:57:28,691
Hey everyone, Toby from Cape Gun works here

1538
00:57:28,691 --> 00:57:32,754
and rapid fire radio, and this week's rapid

1539
00:57:32,754 --> 00:57:34,126
fire gun of the week

1540
00:57:34,658 --> 00:57:35,158
is

1541
00:57:35,610 --> 00:57:37,751
probably 1 of my favorite bull pop,

1542
00:57:38,483 --> 00:57:41,197
This gun is really cool. It's my favorite

1543
00:57:41,197 --> 00:57:43,991
bull up because a, it's very short overall

1544
00:57:43,991 --> 00:57:46,066
length, not a lot of moving parts on

1545
00:57:46,066 --> 00:57:47,436
it. And b,

1546
00:57:47,994 --> 00:57:49,690
I think it has 1 of the lowest

1547
00:57:49,748 --> 00:57:52,298
bore accesses of all the bull pops. Most

1548
00:57:52,298 --> 00:57:55,738
bull ups have all of the both carrier

1549
00:57:55,738 --> 00:57:56,636
group and

1550
00:57:57,328 --> 00:58:00,271
recoil spring and stuff on top. So therefore,

1551
00:58:00,748 --> 00:58:02,974
the bore access gets very high. In some

1552
00:58:02,974 --> 00:58:04,326
cases, 4 and a half inches,

1553
00:58:05,057 --> 00:58:07,365
This 1, the pick rail is probably only

1554
00:58:07,365 --> 00:58:10,151
an inch over the over the bore of

1555
00:58:10,151 --> 00:58:12,220
the of the gun. So you'd probably have

1556
00:58:12,220 --> 00:58:13,732
a 2 and a half 3 inch total

1557
00:58:13,732 --> 00:58:16,207
bore act this differential if you put the

1558
00:58:16,207 --> 00:58:17,793
red dot site on this. But I think

1559
00:58:17,793 --> 00:58:19,299
this gun is really well thought out,

1560
00:58:20,092 --> 00:58:22,489
has a charging handle on the side. That

1561
00:58:22,489 --> 00:58:24,563
you can lock in the open position. When

1562
00:58:24,563 --> 00:58:27,037
you're doing Mag changes, you can slap it

1563
00:58:27,037 --> 00:58:27,936
down and it'll

1564
00:58:28,633 --> 00:58:30,963
send that first round home. The other thing

1565
00:58:30,963 --> 00:58:32,478
that's cool about it. And by the way,

1566
00:58:32,637 --> 00:58:34,870
that's am extras. You can put that charging

1567
00:58:34,870 --> 00:58:36,066
handle on either side.

1568
00:58:36,704 --> 00:58:38,299
And the other thing that's cool is the

1569
00:58:38,299 --> 00:58:39,176
safety is andy.

1570
00:58:40,068 --> 00:58:42,137
And it's a very big, flat,

1571
00:58:42,773 --> 00:58:43,012
like,

1572
00:58:44,126 --> 00:58:47,467
diving board type of, safety, which is really

1573
00:58:47,467 --> 00:58:48,581
easy to articulate.

1574
00:58:49,153 --> 00:58:51,943
For putting the safety on and defeating it

1575
00:58:51,943 --> 00:58:53,936
and taking it off. The other thing that's

1576
00:58:53,936 --> 00:58:56,190
really cool about it is the brass

1577
00:58:56,567 --> 00:58:59,217
just kinda spills out the back. It doesn't

1578
00:58:59,217 --> 00:59:01,534
fling it anywhere. So if you're thinking about

1579
00:59:01,534 --> 00:59:03,771
in a con can confined space shooting in

1580
00:59:03,771 --> 00:59:05,856
a shooting booth, like at high range, the

1581
00:59:05,856 --> 00:59:07,444
brass isn't gonna be pinging all over the

1582
00:59:07,444 --> 00:59:09,429
walls, nor is it gonna be flying off

1583
00:59:09,429 --> 00:59:11,017
walls if you're using this for a home

1584
00:59:11,017 --> 00:59:13,241
defense gun. It has some pick rail on

1585
00:59:13,241 --> 00:59:16,306
the bottom. For a vertical 4 grip, flashlight,

1586
00:59:17,003 --> 00:59:17,402
laser,

1587
00:59:17,961 --> 00:59:19,398
any of those type of accessories.

1588
00:59:20,037 --> 00:59:21,974
There's not a whole lot of other rail

1589
00:59:22,272 --> 00:59:23,331
sections to put

1590
00:59:24,201 --> 00:59:26,668
attachments on, but that's okay for what this

1591
00:59:26,668 --> 00:59:28,738
gun is probably most likely to be used

1592
00:59:28,738 --> 00:59:30,887
for, which is again, a home defense type

1593
00:59:30,887 --> 00:59:32,735
of gun. If you put a red dot

1594
00:59:32,735 --> 00:59:34,330
sight, you still got plenty of pick rail

1595
00:59:34,330 --> 00:59:36,722
up here for lasers and lights as well.

1596
00:59:37,041 --> 00:59:39,752
So you got the 12:00 and 06:00 pick

1597
00:59:39,752 --> 00:59:41,841
any rail. For pretty much anything you need.

1598
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,714
It's got a built in sling swivel in

1599
00:59:44,714 --> 00:59:46,310
the logical point for a,

1600
00:59:47,108 --> 00:59:48,225
single point attachment.

1601
00:59:49,354 --> 00:59:51,418
Where it would balance best, and it's on

1602
00:59:51,418 --> 00:59:54,197
both sides, and it requires a power clip.

1603
00:59:54,435 --> 00:59:56,896
There's also a little sling attachment point on

1604
00:59:56,896 --> 00:59:57,293
the front.

1605
00:59:57,943 --> 00:59:59,692
And on the back if you wanted a

1606
00:59:59,692 --> 01:00:01,838
2 point sling. There's actually a couple of

1607
01:00:01,838 --> 01:00:03,825
spots. You got this big hook on the

1608
01:00:03,825 --> 01:00:05,971
top, and then you got these little swivel

1609
01:00:05,971 --> 01:00:08,287
on the sides. On and again, it's thought

1610
01:00:08,287 --> 01:00:10,665
out well to accommodate both sides.

1611
01:00:11,458 --> 01:00:12,963
So you can attach on the front and

1612
01:00:12,963 --> 01:00:14,414
the back for a 2 point

1613
01:00:14,722 --> 01:00:17,739
sling or in the single point spot. How

1614
01:00:17,898 --> 01:00:19,827
I think this gun could be better

1615
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:23,793
is the mag release. So you'll see they

1616
01:00:23,793 --> 01:00:25,648
made it so that you push back

1617
01:00:26,104 --> 01:00:27,161
on your hand

1618
01:00:28,016 --> 01:00:30,407
on the mag, and it'll drop the mag

1619
01:00:30,407 --> 01:00:32,734
free, which does tend to work. Especially with

1620
01:00:32,734 --> 01:00:33,293
metal mag.

1621
01:00:34,092 --> 01:00:35,849
So if you're shooting shooting shooting and you

1622
01:00:35,849 --> 01:00:38,166
hit bolt walk, you can just push back,

1623
01:00:38,326 --> 01:00:40,736
the mag will drop out. I would prefer

1624
01:00:40,736 --> 01:00:42,890
it to be a button up here somewhere

1625
01:00:42,890 --> 01:00:44,963
on the trigger guard or a lever to

1626
01:00:44,963 --> 01:00:47,277
push down on the trigger guard to drop

1627
01:00:47,277 --> 01:00:49,271
the mag, but I understand why they did

1628
01:00:49,271 --> 01:00:51,992
this. It's a lot less linkage and everything

1629
01:00:51,992 --> 01:00:54,618
else. But that's my only critique of of

1630
01:00:54,618 --> 01:00:56,369
the gun is I would prefer to have

1631
01:00:56,369 --> 01:00:57,505
a tactile

1632
01:00:57,880 --> 01:00:58,755
button to push.

1633
01:00:59,489 --> 01:01:01,329
Instead of just pushing back on my hand

1634
01:01:01,329 --> 01:01:03,090
because I wouldn't want it to get caught

1635
01:01:03,090 --> 01:01:05,250
in my wrist or something like that. If

1636
01:01:05,250 --> 01:01:07,329
and I gotta break the control hand of

1637
01:01:07,329 --> 01:01:10,057
the gun. So I much rather keep my

1638
01:01:10,057 --> 01:01:11,812
controlling hand on the gun during my mag

1639
01:01:11,812 --> 01:01:12,312
change

1640
01:01:12,690 --> 01:01:13,190
than

1641
01:01:13,726 --> 01:01:15,481
breaking my grip as I go for my

1642
01:01:15,481 --> 01:01:17,316
spare mag because I could potentially drop the

1643
01:01:17,316 --> 01:01:19,648
gun. So that's my only critique of the

1644
01:01:19,648 --> 01:01:22,605
rifle. Other than that, it's a great value.

1645
01:01:22,844 --> 01:01:25,801
This gun is, like, 1200 and change for

1646
01:01:25,801 --> 01:01:28,369
a gun that takes Ar max semi automatic,

1647
01:01:28,847 --> 01:01:30,040
you know, in this day in age in

1648
01:01:30,597 --> 01:01:32,847
Massachusetts is a very very

1649
01:01:33,222 --> 01:01:36,106
reasonable gun. For the money. So... And a

1650
01:01:36,106 --> 01:01:38,501
very reliable gun too. I haven't seen any

1651
01:01:38,501 --> 01:01:40,496
issues with these guns. They seem to work

1652
01:01:40,496 --> 01:01:41,215
very, very well,

1653
01:01:42,014 --> 01:01:44,343
easy to break down and clean and they're

1654
01:01:44,343 --> 01:01:45,461
a piston driven gun.

1655
01:01:46,419 --> 01:01:49,372
So, with an adjustable gas system too, if

1656
01:01:49,372 --> 01:01:50,809
you lived in a free state where you

1657
01:01:50,809 --> 01:01:52,405
didn't have to pin and weld that, apparently,

1658
01:01:52,565 --> 01:01:54,489
you could run a suppressor on this with

1659
01:01:54,489 --> 01:01:56,500
your adjustable gas system. So

1660
01:01:56,874 --> 01:01:59,020
there you have it, guys. That's the... This

1661
01:01:59,020 --> 01:02:00,768

1665
01:02:06,281 --> 01:02:09,630
and super cool little gun and a great

1666

01:03:18,868 --> 01:03:19,586
the mon,

1697
01:03:19,984 --> 01:03:21,819
the penn patriot. I was like, oh, that

1698
01:03:21,819 --> 01:03:24,143

1699
01:03:24,143 --> 01:03:26,708
year later, we got a trademark going and,

1700
01:03:27,082 --> 01:03:29,544
everything else is history. But as you know,

1701
01:03:29,782 --> 01:03:31,871
I write for a number of 2 way

1702
01:03:32,244 --> 01:03:34,493
websites and the penn. It's just kinda my

1703
01:03:34,493 --> 01:03:34,993
mon

1704
01:03:35,371 --> 01:03:38,408
that are enrolling with. So, yeah. Actually, I

1705
01:03:38,408 --> 01:03:40,006
am gonna look away for a second because

1706
01:03:40,086 --> 01:03:42,592
I'm on your website. Which is john pet

1708
01:03:44,392 --> 01:03:47,644
And there's a tab about articles and publications

1709
01:03:47,644 --> 01:03:48,144
and

1710
01:03:48,454 --> 01:03:50,608
you've been busy. Let's put it that way.

1711
01:03:51,326 --> 01:03:53,400
Why don't you tell everyone a little bit

1712
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:54,916
about yourself, what it is you do?

1713
01:03:55,886 --> 01:03:57,713
For a living in, what you do as

1714
01:03:57,713 --> 01:03:58,824
your side hustle and

1715
01:03:59,539 --> 01:04:01,445
and just bring everyone up to date with

1716
01:04:01,445 --> 01:04:03,271
with what you what you've been working on.

1717
01:04:04,244 --> 01:04:05,522
So I'm a Jersey guy.

1718
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:08,498
My side hustle is second amendment

1719
01:04:09,036 --> 01:04:09,356
driving.

1720
01:04:10,728 --> 01:04:11,045
Oh, yeah.

1721
01:04:11,837 --> 01:04:12,654
Well, so

1722
01:04:13,264 --> 01:04:16,617
here's the thing. So your entrance to

1723
01:04:17,306 --> 01:04:17,806
civilization

1724
01:04:18,275 --> 01:04:20,275
which would be going over that bridge,

1725
01:04:21,394 --> 01:04:24,035
from from the island side of Cape Cod

1726
01:04:24,035 --> 01:04:24,775
to Mainland,

1727
01:04:25,408 --> 01:04:25,966
Cape Cod.

1728
01:04:26,683 --> 01:04:28,357
That's where I went to school at mass

1729
01:04:28,437 --> 01:04:29,654
Maritime. So.

1730
01:04:30,588 --> 01:04:32,921
That's where I was for, you know, 4

1731
01:04:33,074 --> 01:04:34,032
4 and a half years,

1732
01:04:34,670 --> 01:04:35,809
4 and a half years

1733
01:04:36,187 --> 01:04:38,262
to get my primary education. So I'm a

1734
01:04:38,262 --> 01:04:39,161
merchant marine

1735
01:04:39,778 --> 01:04:42,347
for my living. But again, the second amendment

1736
01:04:42,347 --> 01:04:43,326
writing and journalism,

1737
01:04:43,704 --> 01:04:45,300
you know, my side thing, and I've been

1738
01:04:45,300 --> 01:04:46,359
involved in writing

1739
01:04:46,897 --> 01:04:49,931
for, you know, over 24, 25 years.

1740
01:04:50,743 --> 01:04:53,709
And in 20 15, I started to write

1741
01:04:54,084 --> 01:04:56,095
second amendment related journalism

1742
01:04:56,470 --> 01:04:57,107
and work.

1743
01:04:57,679 --> 01:05:00,789
And from, you know, 20 15 to 20

1744
01:05:00,789 --> 01:05:03,262
20, I started rolling out articles. We're not

1745
01:05:03,262 --> 01:05:05,176
talking about a ton of articles, but, you

1746
01:05:05,176 --> 01:05:07,410
know, I'm high myself over here. Like, yeah,

1747
01:05:07,664 --> 01:05:10,621
got published and Ammo putting my stuff out

1748
01:05:10,621 --> 01:05:11,659
there and I felt great.

1749
01:05:12,618 --> 01:05:14,855
And then in 20 20, everything changed.

1750
01:05:15,429 --> 01:05:17,609
For me as far as my writing career

1751
01:05:17,670 --> 01:05:18,730
because I was

1752
01:05:19,429 --> 01:05:21,829
kinda taking things to the next level. At

1753
01:05:21,829 --> 01:05:24,090
that point, I had had work out in

1754
01:05:25,284 --> 01:05:25,784
Am,

1755
01:05:26,722 --> 01:05:27,621
bearing arms

1756
01:05:28,001 --> 01:05:30,557
and the truth about guns. And this was

1757
01:05:30,557 --> 01:05:32,396
all just writing for a by line. And

1758
01:05:32,396 --> 01:05:35,523
then in 20 20, Am had approached me

1759
01:05:35,523 --> 01:05:38,313
about working for them as a freelancer where

1760
01:05:38,393 --> 01:05:41,423
I actually, you know, Am writer for them

1761
01:05:41,423 --> 01:05:43,508
that contributes, and I can, you know, draw

1762
01:05:43,508 --> 01:05:44,860
a check for the work that I deal.

1763
01:05:45,655 --> 01:05:47,007
That's also the same year.

1764
01:05:47,643 --> 01:05:49,472
Yeah. Yeah. It was it was nice to

1765
01:05:49,472 --> 01:05:50,529
actually get rewarded

1766
01:05:51,222 --> 01:05:52,097
for doing the work.

1767
01:05:53,302 --> 01:05:54,889
And that was also the same year that

1768
01:05:54,968 --> 01:05:57,348
I published my book decoding firearms, and, you

1769
01:05:57,348 --> 01:05:58,776
know, you and I have talked about that

1770
01:05:58,776 --> 01:06:00,704
in the past. This is is my book.

1771
01:06:00,864 --> 01:06:03,105
It's called decoding firearms. It's an easy to

1772
01:06:03,105 --> 01:06:05,505
read guide on general gun safety and use.

1773
01:06:05,664 --> 01:06:07,159
And it's kind of a 01:01

1774
01:06:07,438 --> 01:06:07,938
level

1775
01:06:09,269 --> 01:06:10,405
explanation on firearms

1776
01:06:10,781 --> 01:06:10,940
and,

1777
01:06:11,975 --> 01:06:15,135
everything like that. And in there, I've got

1778
01:06:15,254 --> 01:06:16,931
you know, 266

1779
01:06:16,931 --> 01:06:19,884
pages of information and over a hundred and

1780
01:06:19,884 --> 01:06:20,942
15 original

1781
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:24,286
illustrations. Now it's not a perfect book. But

1782
01:06:24,286 --> 01:06:24,525
it's

1783
01:06:25,242 --> 01:06:27,628
it's it's it's pretty decent, I think. And,

1784
01:06:28,026 --> 01:06:29,299
those of you who are interested in that.

1785
01:06:29,379 --> 01:06:30,731
You can get that off Amazon.

1786
01:06:31,942 --> 01:06:33,776
So then in, you know, come 20 20,

1787
01:06:34,335 --> 01:06:36,967
opportunity really knocked. I was writing more for

1788
01:06:37,046 --> 01:06:39,280
Am, more and more for them. And then

1789
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:40,657
by the time that

1790
01:06:41,369 --> 01:06:44,798
20 21 rolled around, early 20 21 by

1791
01:06:44,958 --> 01:06:45,277
March,

1792
01:06:45,994 --> 01:06:47,829
Cam Edwards had brought me on to be

1793
01:06:47,829 --> 01:06:49,903
a freelancer with bearing arms. So now that

1794
01:06:49,903 --> 01:06:52,461
was another site that said, okay. You've got

1795
01:06:52,461 --> 01:06:54,284
the you've got the tap. You can, you

1796
01:06:54,284 --> 01:06:56,265
know, write for us and, you know, here's

1797
01:06:56,265 --> 01:06:57,850
all the paperwork and all that

1798
01:06:58,658 --> 01:06:59,451
Mum jumbo.

1799
01:07:00,403 --> 01:07:01,989
Both of those sites by the way, Don't

1800
01:07:01,989 --> 01:07:03,893
means to interrupt, but cut you off, but

1801
01:07:03,893 --> 01:07:05,876
both of those sites are, like, my go

1802
01:07:05,876 --> 01:07:06,376
to

1803
01:07:06,844 --> 01:07:07,344
for

1804
01:07:07,719 --> 01:07:10,185
second amendment news. You know, I talk a

1805
01:07:10,185 --> 01:07:12,333
lot on this show about second amendment news

1806
01:07:12,333 --> 01:07:13,788
and and whatnot. And

1807
01:07:14,258 --> 01:07:16,811
generally speaking, I'm I'm always on either bearing

1808
01:07:16,811 --> 01:07:18,587
arms or Ammo land as my

1809
01:07:19,283 --> 01:07:21,277
2 main sources. I do also go to

1810
01:07:21,357 --> 01:07:23,351
Bright bar. They have a good second amendment

1811
01:07:23,351 --> 01:07:23,590
column.

1812
01:07:24,641 --> 01:07:25,438
I know Sure.

1813
01:07:26,554 --> 01:07:29,182
There's a couple of good contributors there. There's

1814
01:07:29,182 --> 01:07:29,682
also

1815
01:07:30,776 --> 01:07:33,108
the truth about guns and other other

1816
01:07:33,818 --> 01:07:35,970
stuff I tap for for second amendment news,

1817
01:07:36,129 --> 01:07:38,679
but bearing arms and Amoled of my 2

1818
01:07:38,679 --> 01:07:40,431
go. I think they're the best out there.

1819
01:07:40,670 --> 01:07:42,762
Yeah. Now... And and and they are. They

1820
01:07:42,762 --> 01:07:44,600
are awesome. They gave me a lot of

1821
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:46,619
great opportunity. I write primarily.

1822
01:07:47,237 --> 01:07:48,916
Most of my work, I pushed through bearing

1823
01:07:48,916 --> 01:07:51,556
arms because there's, you know, a limited amount

1824
01:07:51,556 --> 01:07:53,620
of, you know, people that contribute to bearing

1825
01:07:53,620 --> 01:07:56,081
arms. So I have a good opportunity to

1826
01:07:56,081 --> 01:07:57,985
be a bigger part of what the audience

1827
01:07:57,985 --> 01:08:00,795
looks at. But, again, I put out work

1828
01:08:00,795 --> 01:08:03,514
at Am land. I also write for the

1829
01:08:03,514 --> 01:08:05,855
truth about guns, you know, I have a

1830
01:08:05,914 --> 01:08:08,248
relationship with them. And shooting news weekly. That's

1831
01:08:08,248 --> 01:08:10,005
another site. So those are all sites that

1832
01:08:10,085 --> 01:08:13,121
I freelance for where I have a relationship

1833
01:08:13,121 --> 01:08:15,370
working with them. And then beyond that, I

1834
01:08:15,370 --> 01:08:17,444
also write for news 2 a dot com

1835
01:08:17,444 --> 01:08:18,958
now. That's kind of a new website. It's

1836
01:08:18,958 --> 01:08:21,270
about a year and a half old, maybe

1837
01:08:21,270 --> 01:08:22,386
about a year and a half old, And

1838
01:08:22,386 --> 01:08:24,385
they're putting out some really remarkable new stuff.

1839
01:08:24,702 --> 01:08:25,970
A lot of stuff that's centered on New

1840
01:08:26,128 --> 01:08:28,902
Jersey, but they do the whole entire country

1841
01:08:28,902 --> 01:08:31,613
to be honest with you. So I contribute

1842
01:08:31,613 --> 01:08:32,169
over there,

1843
01:08:32,884 --> 01:08:35,424
as well as at the armed lifestyle, and

1844
01:08:35,424 --> 01:08:37,329
those are 2 sites that I'll send work

1845
01:08:37,329 --> 01:08:39,894
to you know, kinda just free of charge

1846
01:08:39,894 --> 01:08:41,649
for them to help them, you know, grow

1847
01:08:41,649 --> 01:08:43,483
their audience and I think they're doing great

1848
01:08:43,483 --> 01:08:46,274
things and also Charlie cook rights for both

1849
01:08:46,274 --> 01:08:47,925
of those sites as well. So

1850
01:08:48,440 --> 01:08:50,108
those of you who don't know who Charlie

1851
01:08:50,108 --> 01:08:51,935
cook. You need to check him out writing

1852
01:08:51,935 --> 01:08:54,555
shotgun with Charlie. He's got a great show

1853
01:08:54,555 --> 01:08:54,713
that,

1854
01:08:55,587 --> 01:08:57,310
everyone should be familiar with. So

1855
01:08:57,985 --> 01:08:58,462
check that out.

1856
01:09:00,288 --> 01:09:02,036
I forget. Yeah. I think I was... I

1857
01:09:02,036 --> 01:09:04,101
think I was number 01:46 on his show.

1858
01:09:04,261 --> 01:09:05,555
And and I knew

1859
01:09:06,500 --> 01:09:08,724
that I was established in the 2 way

1860
01:09:08,724 --> 01:09:10,392
community when I finally made it onto to

1861
01:09:10,551 --> 01:09:11,845
Charlie Show. So

1862
01:09:12,934 --> 01:09:14,944
I gotta be honest with you My favorite

1863
01:09:15,158 --> 01:09:18,354
episode of riding shotgun with Charlie was actually

1864
01:09:18,354 --> 01:09:20,582
riding in a shopping cart with Toby.

1865
01:09:21,059 --> 01:09:22,354
Yeah. When you

1866
01:09:24,185 --> 01:09:25,465
so I don't know if you wanna talk

1867
01:09:25,465 --> 01:09:26,744
to that because I thought it was a

1868
01:09:26,744 --> 01:09:27,244
monumental

1869
01:09:27,784 --> 01:09:28,024
event.

1870
01:09:28,664 --> 01:09:29,385
That was

1871
01:09:29,784 --> 01:09:32,277
that was probably a once of 1 in

1872
01:09:32,277 --> 01:09:34,905
a lifetime event that probably won't ever re

1873
01:09:34,905 --> 01:09:36,042
reoccurring again, but

1874
01:09:36,657 --> 01:09:38,489
that was pretty funny. We had it... We

1875
01:09:38,489 --> 01:09:40,502
hosted 1 of the gun makers matches

1876
01:09:41,449 --> 01:09:43,856
it was the... A regional gun maker's match

1877
01:09:44,071 --> 01:09:46,851
and instead of the national 1. So we

1878
01:09:46,851 --> 01:09:47,669
had a bunch of

1879
01:09:48,454 --> 01:09:50,994
guys here. We had Rob Pink and Jared

1880
01:09:51,154 --> 01:09:53,773
Jonas, and Charlie Cook came in late, you

1881
01:09:53,773 --> 01:09:54,804
know? And and

1882
01:09:55,614 --> 01:09:57,215
we we ended up in of course, John

1883
01:09:57,375 --> 01:09:58,655
Green and stuff. We had a great day.

1884
01:09:59,055 --> 01:10:01,875
It was a phenomenal day where we made

1885
01:10:02,015 --> 01:10:03,774
guns on day 1. And on day 2,

1886
01:10:03,935 --> 01:10:06,270
we all went shot of competition with the

1887
01:10:06,270 --> 01:10:08,050
guns we made the prior day. So

1888
01:10:08,430 --> 01:10:10,030
was a lot of fun. And

1889
01:10:10,750 --> 01:10:12,829
you didn't have to participate in day 1

1890
01:10:12,829 --> 01:10:15,323
in order to participate in day too, which

1891
01:10:15,323 --> 01:10:17,640
was cool because they too, there was some

1892
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:20,437
really unique guns involved. Like, guys who had

1893
01:10:20,437 --> 01:10:20,937
milled

1894
01:10:21,316 --> 01:10:24,048
guns out of like, bill it steel and,

1895
01:10:24,127 --> 01:10:25,346
like, really

1896
01:10:25,726 --> 01:10:27,644
good craftsman. But anyway,

1897
01:10:28,443 --> 01:10:29,802
there was this 1 segment of the day.

1898
01:10:30,042 --> 01:10:31,935
We're all sitting down doing kind of a

1899
01:10:32,453 --> 01:10:34,924
recap of what's going on. And and yeah,

1900
01:10:35,163 --> 01:10:36,917
we decided to film an episode of

1901
01:10:37,953 --> 01:10:39,865
writing in the shopping cart with Toby.

1902
01:10:41,396 --> 01:10:43,469
Like, they took turns pushing me around a

1903
01:10:43,469 --> 01:10:44,926
job and got just kind of a

1904
01:10:45,702 --> 01:10:46,202
silly

1905
01:10:46,578 --> 01:10:49,781
silly tribute to what Charlie cook does with

1906
01:10:49,781 --> 01:10:51,689
riding Shotgun on with Charlie So anyway.

1907
01:10:52,721 --> 01:10:54,095
I volunteered and

1908
01:10:54,628 --> 01:10:55,582
internet lives is great.

1909
01:10:57,901 --> 01:10:59,967
Yeah that's fine. For sure. I think it's

1910
01:10:59,967 --> 01:11:01,716
great. I think all the work that everyone's

1911
01:11:01,716 --> 01:11:02,216
doing

1912
01:11:02,748 --> 01:11:05,072
is is top notch. And, you know, I

1913
01:11:05,072 --> 01:11:06,827
like to see things like the gun makers

1914
01:11:06,827 --> 01:11:09,560
matches and and that type of thing. So

1915
01:11:10,336 --> 01:11:12,569
you guys are breaking, you know, tremendous ground

1916
01:11:12,569 --> 01:11:12,968
over there.

1917
01:11:14,179 --> 01:11:16,489
But to continue where we left off. So

1918
01:11:17,127 --> 01:11:18,640
Writing for all these places. So I went

1919
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:21,110
from having, like, you know, patti myself on

1920
01:11:21,110 --> 01:11:21,588
the back

1921
01:11:22,146 --> 01:11:23,602
about having maybe

1922
01:11:23,912 --> 01:11:26,926
you know, 60 articles or 30 articles published

1923
01:11:26,926 --> 01:11:28,908
over the course of 5 years and, like,

1924
01:11:29,385 --> 01:11:31,367
I'm making it to now. I think I've

1925
01:11:31,367 --> 01:11:35,194
got probably upwards of 800 articles, and I'm

1926
01:11:35,194 --> 01:11:38,531
doing, you know, investigative journalism work. I did

1927
01:11:38,531 --> 01:11:41,493
get my my papers as a credential

1928
01:11:41,962 --> 01:11:44,190
journalist here in New Jersey. I had a

1929
01:11:44,190 --> 01:11:46,020
work to kinda get those. But, you know,

1930
01:11:46,179 --> 01:11:48,088
I am a vetted member of the press

1931
01:11:48,088 --> 01:11:51,207
now. And it feels pretty good. Okay and

1932
01:11:51,207 --> 01:11:52,643
all of this is just, like I said,

1933
01:11:52,802 --> 01:11:53,920
the the side hustle.

1934
01:11:56,233 --> 01:11:58,306
Well, it was funny. I I was at

1935
01:11:58,306 --> 01:11:59,822
an event last weekend and

1936
01:12:00,793 --> 01:12:01,744
was it last weekend?

1937
01:12:03,251 --> 01:12:03,885
I forget.

1938
01:12:04,677 --> 01:12:06,104
I forget what... If it was the thing

1939
01:12:06,263 --> 01:12:07,690
I went to on Saturday or not. It

1940
01:12:07,690 --> 01:12:09,697
might have been Oh. No No. Yeah. It

1941
01:12:09,697 --> 01:12:10,973
was last week. I was down at,

1942
01:12:12,570 --> 01:12:13,628
Gun talk media

1943
01:12:14,087 --> 01:12:14,406
headquarters.

1944
01:12:14,965 --> 01:12:16,481
And and I'm not gonna say who, but,

1945
01:12:17,293 --> 01:12:18,805
1 of the guys there. There was a

1946
01:12:18,805 --> 01:12:21,112
couple of members of the press there. There

1947
01:12:21,112 --> 01:12:22,862
was a journalists there and whatnot. It was

1948
01:12:22,862 --> 01:12:25,107
a it was kind of a a preview

1949
01:12:25,107 --> 01:12:27,021
of something that's gonna come in the fall

1950
01:12:27,021 --> 01:12:29,036
from Rug and this great

1951
01:12:29,653 --> 01:12:31,966
collaboration and whatnot. And so somebody said that

1952
01:12:31,966 --> 01:12:34,175
they remember the press. And so the guy

1953
01:12:36,375 --> 01:12:37,354
the guy who

1954
01:12:37,734 --> 01:12:40,454
heard that was Chris Ser from tops shot.

1955
01:12:40,614 --> 01:12:42,875
You know, he was 1 of the

1956
01:12:43,590 --> 01:12:46,070
contestants on tops shot. And he said,

1957
01:12:47,110 --> 01:12:48,890
I heard it said once that

1958
01:12:49,270 --> 01:12:50,409
if my daughter

1959
01:12:50,710 --> 01:12:51,770
became a prostitute,

1960
01:12:52,484 --> 01:12:53,541
a drug addict

1961
01:12:54,074 --> 01:12:55,745
and a murderer,

1962
01:12:56,461 --> 01:12:57,416
I would forgive her.

1963
01:12:58,131 --> 01:13:00,143
But if my son became a journalist,

1964
01:13:01,567 --> 01:13:02,521
I don't have a son.

1965
01:13:04,750 --> 01:13:05,466
So anyway.

1966
01:13:07,375 --> 01:13:09,705
Take that for and there's and there's

1967
01:13:11,850 --> 01:13:13,526
now, and and to be fair,

1968
01:13:15,042 --> 01:13:15,542
my

1969
01:13:16,079 --> 01:13:17,756
entrance into this little club,

1970
01:13:18,328 --> 01:13:20,404
didn't come easily. It was, like, it took

1971
01:13:20,404 --> 01:13:22,898
6 months before that they... Before they actually

1972
01:13:22,957 --> 01:13:24,313
credential debate. Like, they were not...

1973
01:13:25,031 --> 01:13:26,638
It took it took a lot of work

1974
01:13:26,638 --> 01:13:28,388
because I do write a lot of delicious

1975
01:13:28,388 --> 01:13:30,797
stuff. I write a lot of opinion that's

1976
01:13:31,013 --> 01:13:32,365
contrary to the fray.

1977
01:13:33,339 --> 01:13:34,857
And to their credit, they are...

1978
01:13:35,895 --> 01:13:38,133
They work very hard to be unbiased,

1979
01:13:39,412 --> 01:13:40,770
at least the society does,

1980
01:13:41,904 --> 01:13:43,741
in their works. And they and they do

1981
01:13:43,741 --> 01:13:44,560
call out

1982
01:13:45,020 --> 01:13:47,177
hypocrisy and they do call out when there's

1983
01:13:47,177 --> 01:13:48,829
people being overly biased

1984
01:13:49,188 --> 01:13:51,573
And I have gotten some attention from them

1985
01:13:51,573 --> 01:13:53,186
myself in a positive way

1986
01:13:54,754 --> 01:13:56,583
as far as some of my new stories.

1987
01:14:05,052 --> 01:14:05,371
Freezing

1988
01:14:06,408 --> 01:14:06,887
bit here.

1989
01:14:08,578 --> 01:14:10,904
Yeah. Okay. Sorry that. It says

1990
01:14:11,516 --> 01:14:12,865
recording error you got me?

1991
01:14:13,978 --> 01:14:15,725
Okay. Do do you you still me?

1992
01:14:16,614 --> 01:14:16,774
Yep.

1993
01:14:18,049 --> 01:14:20,122
Well, let me double check that to be

1994
01:14:20,122 --> 01:14:21,238
on the safe side.

1995
01:14:22,434 --> 01:14:24,108
Let me okay. Let me just check you

1996
01:14:24,108 --> 01:14:26,680
in connection here. No, I'm still recording so

1997
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:26,840
good.

1998
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:29,399
But it was just the connection loss a

1999
01:14:29,399 --> 01:14:29,880
little bit of...

2000
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:31,239
Probably.

2001
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:32,760
Okay.

2002
01:14:37,491 --> 01:14:38,689
Yeah. Yeah. No problem.

2003
01:14:39,408 --> 01:14:40,048
It happens.

2004
01:14:40,688 --> 01:14:42,126
It happens from time to time.

2005
01:14:43,898 --> 01:14:46,215
You you would think that suburban, New Jersey

2006
01:14:46,215 --> 01:14:48,052
would have a great Internet connection.

2007
01:14:50,784 --> 01:14:51,024
Yeah.

2008
01:14:51,585 --> 01:14:52,085
It's

2009
01:14:52,465 --> 01:14:53,925
it's unbelievable of,

2010
01:14:54,304 --> 01:14:55,844
you know, done the show from

2011
01:14:56,545 --> 01:14:58,404
my phone I've done it from

2012
01:14:58,958 --> 01:15:01,431
a lot of different places, and it's... You

2013
01:15:01,431 --> 01:15:02,229
you'd think the...

2014
01:15:03,027 --> 01:15:04,861
Sometimes you're in a building in a good

2015
01:15:04,861 --> 01:15:07,253
area and it you got zip for coverage.

2016
01:15:07,413 --> 01:15:11,261
So anyway, no another subject, but that's that's

2017
01:15:11,261 --> 01:15:13,498
good because I think the credentialing part of

2018
01:15:13,498 --> 01:15:16,295
it gets you places, you can't normally go.

2019
01:15:17,586 --> 01:15:19,257
I found out the hardware last year at

2020
01:15:19,416 --> 01:15:21,007
Shot show because I signed up for a

2021
01:15:21,007 --> 01:15:24,292
immediate pass because I'm rapid fire radio and

2022
01:15:24,444 --> 01:15:25,714
and they wouldn't let me in the building

2023
01:15:25,714 --> 01:15:28,595
with my media un credential media

2024
01:15:29,365 --> 01:15:31,270
that I am. So they're like, no. You're

2025
01:15:31,270 --> 01:15:32,698
a gun retailer and I'm like,

2026
01:15:33,428 --> 01:15:35,017
I kinda am a, you know,

2027
01:15:35,733 --> 01:15:37,639
gun media guy I have 3 shows a

2028
01:15:37,639 --> 01:15:39,307
week. What do I gotta do to be

2029
01:15:39,307 --> 01:15:41,135
considered media they're like, well, it isn't you.

2030
01:15:41,373 --> 01:15:41,873
So

2031
01:15:42,184 --> 01:15:43,783
get to the back of line and get

2032
01:15:43,783 --> 01:15:45,141
signed up the right way. So I'm like,

2033
01:15:45,381 --> 01:15:47,779
okay. I guess. So the funny thing is

2034
01:15:47,779 --> 01:15:50,016
they gave me. Yeah. Well, the... We'll know

2035
01:15:50,016 --> 01:15:51,135
it retailer. We'll.

2036
01:15:52,109 --> 01:15:54,096
Pass with the m on it for the

2037
01:15:54,096 --> 01:15:54,414
media.

2038
01:15:55,368 --> 01:15:55,687
It's like,

2039
01:15:56,561 --> 01:15:56,801
you know,

2040
01:15:57,675 --> 01:15:59,685
what's a big deal here. But

2041
01:16:00,299 --> 01:16:00,935
there you have it...

2042
01:16:02,782 --> 01:16:03,260
Oh, yeah.

2043
01:16:04,457 --> 01:16:05,595
They didn't wanna get

2044
01:16:06,211 --> 01:16:08,604
official credentialing. Let's put it that way? At

2045
01:16:08,763 --> 01:16:10,916
Shot show. That was a bridge too far.

2046
01:16:12,764 --> 01:16:13,822
But you've written

2047
01:16:14,358 --> 01:16:15,393
hundreds of articles,

2048
01:16:16,747 --> 01:16:18,341
a book, as you mentioned,

2049
01:16:20,027 --> 01:16:21,379
do you do a lot of your writing

2050
01:16:21,379 --> 01:16:23,368
out at c when you're when you're out

2051
01:16:23,368 --> 01:16:23,765
at c?

2052
01:16:25,929 --> 01:16:27,447
So I do. I do I get a

2053
01:16:27,447 --> 01:16:29,625
lot of work done since my schedule

2054
01:16:30,084 --> 01:16:32,720
allows me to have, you know, ample amounts

2055
01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:35,524
of time off, you know, 12 hours on,

2056
01:16:35,762 --> 01:16:38,389
12 hours off. That 12 hour off time,

2057
01:16:38,547 --> 01:16:40,957
like, there's really nothing to do

2058
01:16:41,507 --> 01:16:43,416
I shouldn't say nothing to do. You can

2059
01:16:43,416 --> 01:16:43,654
eat.

2060
01:16:44,291 --> 01:16:45,484
You could go to the gym,

2061
01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:48,764
and you could watch Tv. Right? And I

2062
01:16:48,764 --> 01:16:50,921
do a combination of some of those things,

2063
01:16:51,081 --> 01:16:52,440
and you can figure out which ones.

2064
01:16:53,639 --> 01:16:53,878
But,

2065
01:16:55,477 --> 01:16:57,235
after I do spend my time in the

2066
01:16:57,235 --> 01:16:59,088
gym, I will crank out some work,

2067
01:17:00,127 --> 01:17:01,725
up in my room. I bring my laptop

2068
01:17:01,725 --> 01:17:02,604
with me. And,

2069
01:17:03,243 --> 01:17:04,601
I tend to be a little bit more

2070
01:17:04,601 --> 01:17:05,820
prolific when I'm

2071
01:17:06,134 --> 01:17:08,125
when I'm away. Depending on what I have

2072
01:17:08,125 --> 01:17:10,434
going on at home, yeah, I'll be cranking

2073
01:17:10,434 --> 01:17:12,823
out work, but for example, this last month,

2074
01:17:12,982 --> 01:17:14,597
I've been so busy that

2075
01:17:15,468 --> 01:17:17,144
you know, I only put out a handful

2076
01:17:17,144 --> 01:17:19,619
of articles, and then also a couple of

2077
01:17:19,619 --> 01:17:22,094
posts for the other website that we'll talk

2078
01:17:22,094 --> 01:17:24,190
about a little bit later that we kinda

2079
01:17:24,903 --> 01:17:26,097
spoke about in the pre show.

2080
01:17:27,373 --> 01:17:29,685
And just trying to get the time to

2081
01:17:29,685 --> 01:17:31,199
to work on that stuff, you know, it's

2082
01:17:31,199 --> 01:17:33,521
work life balance. So when I am away,

2083
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:35,186
you know, I'm gone, but when I'm home,

2084
01:17:35,742 --> 01:17:37,646
I feel that my free time belongs to

2085
01:17:37,646 --> 01:17:39,573
to my family. So I'm gonna do

2086
01:17:39,962 --> 01:17:41,945
whatever it is that they wanna do and

2087
01:17:41,945 --> 01:17:43,692
and stay with them. So I try to

2088
01:17:43,692 --> 01:17:46,786
not pull away from that time. So these

2089
01:17:46,786 --> 01:17:47,898
kind of things like this,

2090
01:17:49,029 --> 01:17:51,270
if it's, like, in the after evening where

2091
01:17:51,270 --> 01:17:53,590
it's getting close to family time, I I

2092
01:17:53,590 --> 01:17:55,590
try to limit those the the most I

2093
01:17:55,590 --> 01:17:55,829
can.

2094
01:17:56,801 --> 01:17:59,105
You know, I'll find myself sometimes recording stuff

2095
01:17:59,105 --> 01:18:01,489
a pee at 09:00 at night, 10:00 at

2096
01:18:01,489 --> 01:18:03,795
night just so that, you know, everybody's had

2097
01:18:03,795 --> 01:18:05,558
a chance to settle down, and we within

2098
01:18:05,558 --> 01:18:07,070
did our evening routine, you know?

2099
01:18:09,774 --> 01:18:12,161
So... Right. Yeah. So what what is some

2100
01:18:12,161 --> 01:18:13,935
of stuff you've been working on. You said

2101
01:18:13,935 --> 01:18:15,454
you've been real busy in the last month.

2102
01:18:16,574 --> 01:18:18,515
I know there's a lot going on in

2103
01:18:19,055 --> 01:18:20,414
legal world out there, and,

2104
01:18:21,229 --> 01:18:23,567
in New Jersey, etcetera. So maybe you could

2105
01:18:23,626 --> 01:18:24,904
tell us a little bit about that.

2106
01:18:28,432 --> 01:18:30,822
So the big the big thing that I've

2107
01:18:30,822 --> 01:18:33,233
been pulling from since March

2108
01:18:33,768 --> 01:18:36,179
is this permit to carry dashboard

2109
01:18:37,127 --> 01:18:39,618
that the attorney General in New Jersey

2110
01:18:39,993 --> 01:18:41,131
released. Now

2111
01:18:41,744 --> 01:18:43,177
what we need to do is do a

2112
01:18:43,177 --> 01:18:45,662
little bit of a backstory here and New

2113
01:18:45,822 --> 01:18:48,057
Jersey was 1 of the broom affected states.

2114
01:18:48,457 --> 01:18:51,431
So unlike Massachusetts where you guys have had,

2115
01:18:51,889 --> 01:18:54,066
you know, permits to carry or licenses

2116
01:18:54,379 --> 01:18:56,051
to carry and the right to carry,

2117
01:18:56,688 --> 01:18:58,939
going way back for years with the exceptions

2118
01:18:59,156 --> 01:19:01,863
of a handful of jurisdictions that make it

2119
01:19:01,863 --> 01:19:04,511
difficult, like Boston and some of your bigger

2120
01:19:04,511 --> 01:19:04,830
cities.

2121
01:19:05,469 --> 01:19:06,746
For the most part, if you were gonna

2122
01:19:06,746 --> 01:19:08,502
get a, you know, back in the day,

2123
01:19:08,582 --> 01:19:10,977
the Class A license or now the license

2124
01:19:10,977 --> 01:19:12,829
the carrier down the 1 permit.

2125
01:19:13,388 --> 01:19:15,226
A lot of times there weren't issues. You

2126
01:19:15,226 --> 01:19:18,262
guys got your permit and about 6 to

2127
01:19:18,262 --> 01:19:19,561
10 percent of your

2128
01:19:19,940 --> 01:19:20,760
population were

2129
01:19:21,472 --> 01:19:23,784
credential to to carry firearms in the base

2130
01:19:23,784 --> 01:19:26,438
state. Well, new Jersey is the complete opposite.

2131
01:19:26,655 --> 01:19:28,888
So we did not have any form of

2132
01:19:28,888 --> 01:19:29,947
permit to carry

2133
01:19:30,260 --> 01:19:33,393
for civilians. Now on paper, we did have,

2134
01:19:33,612 --> 01:19:36,186
you know, the permit it was there allegedly

2135
01:19:36,405 --> 01:19:38,400
existed, but very much so like New York,

2136
01:19:38,894 --> 01:19:40,274
there was a good cause

2137
01:19:40,972 --> 01:19:43,050
clause in there and what they called that

2138
01:19:43,050 --> 01:19:46,028
in New Jersey was just need. So

2139
01:19:46,487 --> 01:19:50,095
after the broom decision, that's when people in

2140
01:19:50,175 --> 01:19:52,808
New Jersey were then able to start to

2141
01:19:52,808 --> 01:19:54,803
be able to apply for and then get

2142
01:19:54,803 --> 01:19:55,761
permits to carry.

2143
01:19:57,614 --> 01:19:58,255
Of course,

2144
01:19:59,375 --> 01:20:02,335
of course, there was some something on some

2145
01:20:02,335 --> 01:20:05,154
kickback back from the state on this, and

2146
01:20:05,628 --> 01:20:06,128
And

2147
01:20:06,980 --> 01:20:08,173
did did you lose me?

2148
01:20:09,923 --> 01:20:11,434
I lost... We've lost you for a little

2149
01:20:11,434 --> 01:20:12,865
bit. I think we got the gist of

2150
01:20:12,865 --> 01:20:13,264
it though,

2151
01:20:14,314 --> 01:20:16,715
you were saying that after brewing, you started

2152
01:20:16,715 --> 01:20:18,975
to... There was some kickback in the estate

2153
01:20:21,684 --> 01:20:21,843
Okay.

2154
01:20:22,795 --> 01:20:25,278
There was some kickback from the state, and,

2155
01:20:25,492 --> 01:20:27,181
you know, of course, we had a brewing

2156
01:20:27,238 --> 01:20:27,554
response.

2157
01:20:28,444 --> 01:20:30,993
Law that was drafted and then enacted very

2158
01:20:30,993 --> 01:20:35,056
much similar to, you know, chairman days, efforts

2159
01:20:35,056 --> 01:20:38,891
in Massachusetts to completely destroy what has been

2160
01:20:38,891 --> 01:20:41,981
existing in your state for decades without issue,

2161
01:20:42,377 --> 01:20:44,066
but all of a sudden, it's a problem

2162
01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:47,261
because the, you know, the progressive in Dc

2163
01:20:47,399 --> 01:20:50,273
wanna give somebody a shiny prize if they

2164
01:20:50,273 --> 01:20:52,029
can get around the brewing decision.

2165
01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:56,995
New Jersey jumped on that bandwagon to destroy

2166
01:20:56,995 --> 01:20:59,233
what was there of the carry law. Of

2167
01:20:59,233 --> 01:21:00,751
course, now we're in the middle of litigation.

2168
01:21:01,799 --> 01:21:04,914
Part of that initiative to destroy carry

2169
01:21:05,365 --> 01:21:07,426
the attorney general put out this permit to

2170
01:21:07,426 --> 01:21:08,377
carry dashboard.

2171
01:21:08,789 --> 01:21:10,144
And I don't know what he was thinking

2172
01:21:10,144 --> 01:21:12,216
when he put out the dashboard because the

2173
01:21:12,216 --> 01:21:12,716
dashboard

2174
01:21:13,411 --> 01:21:13,911
basically

2175
01:21:14,766 --> 01:21:16,121
voluntarily handed us.

2176
01:21:16,694 --> 01:21:19,404
A ton of information that we no longer

2177
01:21:19,404 --> 01:21:22,752
had to submit for through government records requests.

2178
01:21:23,390 --> 01:21:25,738
And we were able to see which

2179
01:21:26,112 --> 01:21:29,766
jurisdictions were issuing permits, how many applications there

2180
01:21:29,766 --> 01:21:31,594
were, and all that kind of thing.

2181
01:21:32,564 --> 01:21:34,636
So right off the top, and 1 of

2182
01:21:34,636 --> 01:21:36,789
the first things that I noticed and it's

2183
01:21:36,789 --> 01:21:39,182
kinda funny because doctor John Lo beat me

2184
01:21:39,182 --> 01:21:41,176
by, like, 1 day on his coverage.

2185
01:21:41,749 --> 01:21:44,061
On this, but it was this subjective standards,

2186
01:21:44,220 --> 01:21:46,055
and I'm just... If you forgive me a

2187
01:21:46,055 --> 01:21:49,085
second, I wanna actually read you the actual

2188
01:21:49,085 --> 01:21:50,361
standards so I've got it right.

2189
01:21:51,734 --> 01:21:52,792
There's a standard

2190
01:21:53,172 --> 01:21:55,590
for getting your permit. And then again, just

2191
01:21:55,969 --> 01:21:57,966
need and good cause and all those things,

2192
01:21:58,127 --> 01:21:59,905
The reason why they were deemed

2193
01:22:01,171 --> 01:22:01,671
unconstitutional

2194
01:22:02,918 --> 01:22:05,087
is because they were subjective standards.

2195
01:22:05,937 --> 01:22:08,796
And the subjective standard that still exists in

2196
01:22:08,876 --> 01:22:13,265
New Jersey is 2 c 58 dash 3C5,

2197
01:22:13,902 --> 01:22:15,674
and it allows for

2198
01:22:16,049 --> 01:22:16,367
the

2199
01:22:17,178 --> 01:22:20,765
issuing authority to not issue to people that

2200
01:22:20,765 --> 01:22:21,663
they feel

2201
01:22:22,597 --> 01:22:25,563
don't meet the standards of it being in

2202
01:22:25,563 --> 01:22:27,637
the interest of the public health safety and

2203
01:22:27,637 --> 01:22:28,137
welfare

2204
01:22:28,676 --> 01:22:31,490
of the community. And specifically, it reads

2205
01:22:33,959 --> 01:22:35,238
Let me see if I can find it

2206
01:22:35,238 --> 01:22:36,916
for you here. I wanna get it right.

2207
01:22:37,955 --> 01:22:40,113
To any person where the issue would not

2208
01:22:40,113 --> 01:22:41,951
be in the interest of the public health

2209
01:22:41,951 --> 01:22:43,070
safety or welfare,

2210
01:22:43,722 --> 01:22:45,632
because the person is found to be lacking

2211
01:22:45,632 --> 01:22:47,484
the essential character of temperament

2212
01:22:48,257 --> 01:22:50,087
necessary to be entrusted with a firearm.

2213
01:22:50,739 --> 01:22:53,380
So that's a subjective standard, which we've learned

2214
01:22:53,380 --> 01:22:54,119
from B

2215
01:22:54,500 --> 01:22:56,920
is is not allowed. And

2216
01:22:57,795 --> 01:23:00,275
If you look at B specifically, it says

2217
01:23:00,275 --> 01:23:01,255
that the

2218
01:23:01,795 --> 01:23:04,534
standards are supposed to contain only narrow

2219
01:23:05,409 --> 01:23:07,587
objective and and definite standards

2220
01:23:08,046 --> 01:23:09,025
guiding local

2221
01:23:09,724 --> 01:23:10,682
licensing officials.

2222
01:23:11,481 --> 01:23:14,048
So right there, this matter of temperament and

2223
01:23:14,048 --> 01:23:16,695
what the issuing authority thinks of an applicant

2224
01:23:18,262 --> 01:23:20,489
is is against the law. They're not supposed

2225
01:23:20,489 --> 01:23:22,556
to continue to have that standard.

2226
01:23:23,128 --> 01:23:25,117
In the state. And that's the same standard,

2227
01:23:25,277 --> 01:23:27,424
and this is important for your listeners and

2228
01:23:27,424 --> 01:23:29,674
viewers. This is the same standard

2229
01:23:30,144 --> 01:23:32,875
that is used for getting our firearms

2230
01:23:33,649 --> 01:23:36,460
identification cards, which is similar to Massachusetts where

2231
01:23:36,518 --> 01:23:38,828
it's for long guns only long gun purchase

2232
01:23:38,828 --> 01:23:39,806
and long gun

2233
01:23:40,598 --> 01:23:43,395
possession as well as ammunition purchase, And then

2234
01:23:43,395 --> 01:23:46,510
also our pistol purchaser permits. So pistol purchaser

2235
01:23:46,510 --> 01:23:48,603
permits we need to get a permit for

2236
01:23:48,603 --> 01:23:51,559
every single handgun that we procure, and then

2237
01:23:51,559 --> 01:23:53,977
that permit is used and then

2238
01:23:54,995 --> 01:23:55,495
recorded

2239
01:23:56,528 --> 01:23:59,102
the transaction is recorded. Right? So there's

2240
01:23:59,559 --> 01:24:03,045
unlike Massachusetts where there's, you know, allegedly no

2241
01:24:03,164 --> 01:24:03,664
gun

2242
01:24:04,043 --> 01:24:05,162
registration in Massachusetts,

2243
01:24:05,721 --> 01:24:06,860
Massachusetts has a

2244
01:24:07,559 --> 01:24:10,515
registration of the transactions. New Jersey has a

2245
01:24:10,515 --> 01:24:13,789
straight up regis. They take the information, they

2246
01:24:13,789 --> 01:24:15,534
have it. They hold onto it. They know

2247
01:24:15,534 --> 01:24:17,675
what guns you have as far as handgun

2248
01:24:17,675 --> 01:24:17,913
guns.

2249
01:24:19,673 --> 01:24:21,820
So that's very important thing to understand that

2250
01:24:21,820 --> 01:24:24,922
this standard is not affecting just the permit

2251
01:24:24,922 --> 01:24:26,274
to carry. Yeah. Go ahead.

2252
01:24:30,184 --> 01:24:33,439
On that note, something that has really bothered

2253
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:37,225
me about all permits, permit to purchase, licensed

2254
01:24:37,424 --> 01:24:38,780
carry, firearms owner

2255
01:24:39,338 --> 01:24:43,246
Card, F card, whatever it is. Whatever scheme

2256
01:24:43,246 --> 01:24:44,782
that they put into the

2257
01:24:45,319 --> 01:24:45,957
into the mix,

2258
01:24:46,928 --> 01:24:50,031
there's a Supreme court ruling called Murdoch v,

2259
01:24:50,508 --> 01:24:52,099
Pennsylvania 19 43.

2260
01:24:53,053 --> 01:24:53,553
And

2261
01:24:54,102 --> 01:24:55,930
I wanna read to you from the,

2262
01:24:56,725 --> 01:24:57,701
majority opinion

2263
01:24:58,314 --> 01:24:58,814
that

2264
01:25:00,301 --> 01:25:01,149
it's it's

2265
01:25:01,829 --> 01:25:04,409
unbelievable that no 1 has ever challenged

2266
01:25:05,029 --> 01:25:07,210
the firearms permitting schemes

2267
01:25:07,829 --> 01:25:10,550
based on Murdoch v Pennsylvania because it says,

2268
01:25:11,202 --> 01:25:11,702
that

2269
01:25:13,427 --> 01:25:15,968
it says a state may not impose a

2270
01:25:15,968 --> 01:25:16,468
charge

2271
01:25:16,922 --> 01:25:19,305
for the enjoyment of a right granted by

2272
01:25:19,305 --> 01:25:20,496
the federal constitution.

2273
01:25:21,546 --> 01:25:24,569
And if you read further down, that charge

2274
01:25:24,569 --> 01:25:25,547
isn't just

2275
01:25:26,161 --> 01:25:28,172
a fee, it's a license

2276
01:25:28,548 --> 01:25:31,112
or a permit as well. So the federal

2277
01:25:31,112 --> 01:25:31,591
government,

2278
01:25:32,548 --> 01:25:35,282
I mean, a state or local government is

2279
01:25:36,059 --> 01:25:39,577
banned or barred by Murdoch v Pennsylvania 19

2280
01:25:39,577 --> 01:25:40,054
43,

2281
01:25:40,531 --> 01:25:41,031
from

2282
01:25:41,884 --> 01:25:42,599
charging a fee,

2283
01:25:43,235 --> 01:25:45,859
selling a license or imposing a tax on

2284
01:25:45,859 --> 01:25:47,314
the enjoyment of a federally

2285
01:25:48,344 --> 01:25:51,625
constitutional protected right. And I'm wondering, I... I've

2286
01:25:51,625 --> 01:25:53,385
done a search on this, but I don't

2287
01:25:53,385 --> 01:25:54,204
have journalist

2288
01:25:54,744 --> 01:25:56,125
tools at my disposal

2289
01:25:56,677 --> 01:25:59,082
I'm wondering why no 1 has ever challenged

2290
01:26:00,011 --> 01:26:03,188
this on a second amendment level. I know

2291
01:26:03,268 --> 01:26:06,305
Murdoch, Pennsylvania was a first amendment case. But

2292
01:26:06,305 --> 01:26:06,545
still,

2293
01:26:07,585 --> 01:26:09,905
it doesn't say this only applies to the

2294
01:26:09,905 --> 01:26:11,604
first amendment. It's any

2295
01:26:12,145 --> 01:26:14,229
constitutional right. Why has it ever been challenged?

2296
01:26:14,547 --> 01:26:16,239
I don't know if maybe you could

2297
01:26:16,851 --> 01:26:17,828
in your journalism,

2298
01:26:18,360 --> 01:26:20,188
you know, do a Nexus Lexus search or

2299
01:26:20,188 --> 01:26:21,791
whatever that heck that you call it. And

2300
01:26:21,791 --> 01:26:23,696
find out if anyone's ever used this in

2301
01:26:23,696 --> 01:26:27,188
any type of challenge to licensing schemes. But,

2302
01:26:27,346 --> 01:26:28,458
I mean, you know,

2303
01:26:29,508 --> 01:26:31,661
I'm extremely frustrated and have been for the

2304
01:26:31,661 --> 01:26:33,655
last 30 years of my life because the

2305
01:26:33,655 --> 01:26:35,329
very first time I went to apply for

2306
01:26:35,329 --> 01:26:37,802
my license to carry at 18 years old.

2307
01:26:38,693 --> 01:26:39,010
I was...

2308
01:26:40,199 --> 01:26:42,182
I felt like something was really wrong,

2309
01:26:42,817 --> 01:26:45,117
knowing I had a constitutional protected right, but

2310
01:26:45,117 --> 01:26:46,957
yet, I had to take a test, take

2311
01:26:46,957 --> 01:26:49,024
a class, pay a fee, jump through hoops,

2312
01:26:49,502 --> 01:26:52,523
and maybe get issued, a license and op,

2313
01:26:52,682 --> 01:26:54,670
you can't have it for personal protection, but

2314
01:26:54,670 --> 01:26:56,514
you can have it for target hunting. It's

2315
01:26:56,514 --> 01:26:58,668
like, what the heck just happened? You know,

2316
01:26:58,988 --> 01:27:02,099
I wouldn't tolerate that. No other American would

2317
01:27:02,099 --> 01:27:03,695
tolerate that for any other right.

2318
01:27:04,347 --> 01:27:06,886
Whether it be the fourth amendment or the

2319
01:27:06,886 --> 01:27:08,951
fifth amendment or the first amendment. We don't

2320
01:27:08,951 --> 01:27:10,618
need a license to go to church. You

2321
01:27:10,618 --> 01:27:12,784
don't need a license for writing and

2322
01:27:13,332 --> 01:27:16,929
magazines or giving speeches and etcetera, etcetera. So

2323
01:27:17,302 --> 01:27:19,288
what gives? Where did we go so wrong?

2324
01:27:19,605 --> 01:27:21,511
I don't know. I know it's a rhetoric

2325
01:27:21,511 --> 01:27:22,520
question, but

2326
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:24,239
Okay. I don't know if you've ever heard

2327
01:27:24,239 --> 01:27:25,199
that, you know.

2328
01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:30,653
I... I've heard you bring this up 4

2329
01:27:30,653 --> 01:27:32,324
in the past. And, you know, it it

2330
01:27:32,324 --> 01:27:34,314
is worth exploring further.

2331
01:27:35,109 --> 01:27:36,382
And, you know what? I'm gonna add it

2332
01:27:36,382 --> 01:27:38,149
to my to do list to you know,

2333
01:27:38,390 --> 01:27:40,949
maybe look into that and then even, you

2334
01:27:40,949 --> 01:27:43,350
know, pose the question myself in in an

2335
01:27:43,350 --> 01:27:46,170
article because it is it's it's a

2336
01:27:46,563 --> 01:27:48,715
and you've repeated it more than once. And

2337
01:27:48,874 --> 01:27:50,866
I I do think it is worth repeating

2338
01:27:50,866 --> 01:27:52,698
and looking into, and this is a good

2339
01:27:52,698 --> 01:27:55,747
thing maybe for the the legal scholars to,

2340
01:27:55,827 --> 01:27:57,985
you know, catch wind of. Because when you

2341
01:27:57,985 --> 01:27:59,283
are dealing with these

2342
01:27:59,662 --> 01:28:02,220
en rights in the bill of rights, like,

2343
01:28:02,793 --> 01:28:05,020
the first amendment should be holding hands with

2344
01:28:05,020 --> 01:28:06,157
the second amendment,

2345
01:28:06,691 --> 01:28:09,157
you know, for dear life, and to me,

2346
01:28:09,807 --> 01:28:11,738
there would be severe analog

2347
01:28:12,190 --> 01:28:14,359
to how these things are regulated.

2348
01:28:14,733 --> 01:28:15,233
And

2349
01:28:16,083 --> 01:28:17,592
so, yeah. I I agree.

2350
01:28:20,384 --> 01:28:22,048
It's funny because I I also,

2351
01:28:23,238 --> 01:28:25,377
talked to Dick Heller about that same thing.

2352
01:28:26,743 --> 01:28:29,288
And he said, thank you for bringing that

2353
01:28:29,288 --> 01:28:31,674
up. That reminds me what something I'm supposed

2354
01:28:31,674 --> 01:28:33,344
to be doing. So he didn't tell me

2355
01:28:33,344 --> 01:28:35,593
what, but So maybe he is working on

2356
01:28:35,593 --> 01:28:37,850
it. I don't know or somebody in his

2357
01:28:38,708 --> 01:28:40,706
sphere is working on it. You know,

2358
01:28:42,238 --> 01:28:44,472
hopefully, I I think it makes a lot

2359
01:28:44,472 --> 01:28:44,871
of sense,

2360
01:28:45,510 --> 01:28:46,010
but

2361
01:28:46,547 --> 01:28:46,707
anyway,

2362
01:28:47,904 --> 01:28:49,362
I've brought it up with lawyers

2363
01:28:49,994 --> 01:28:51,113
and they say, well,

2364
01:28:51,672 --> 01:28:53,750
it's because it's a first amendment case. And

2365
01:28:53,830 --> 01:28:56,787
I'm like, that doesn't jive with me. Like,

2366
01:28:57,266 --> 01:28:59,045
the the rights are either

2367
01:28:59,679 --> 01:29:01,437
they're either a right right or they're not.

2368
01:29:02,875 --> 01:29:03,993
Yeah. Exactly.

2369
01:29:04,472 --> 01:29:05,212
And so

2370
01:29:08,072 --> 01:29:09,657
Go ahead. I didn't mean to interrupt you,

2371
01:29:09,815 --> 01:29:10,052
but

2372
01:29:11,082 --> 01:29:12,296
you, you know, this,

2373
01:29:14,905 --> 01:29:16,735
I forget where we were. Are they saying

2374
01:29:16,735 --> 01:29:17,235
inside

2375
01:29:17,690 --> 01:29:19,919
profound and I triggered user you sent this

2376
01:29:19,919 --> 01:29:21,510
whole thought. But go ahead.

2377
01:29:25,112 --> 01:29:27,107
Oh, yeah. No. I agree. I agree with

2378
01:29:27,107 --> 01:29:28,145
everything you're saying.

2379
01:29:29,582 --> 01:29:32,317
So we're looking at these subjective standards

2380
01:29:33,109 --> 01:29:37,829
and these subjective standards were outlawed per brewing,

2381
01:29:37,989 --> 01:29:39,270
and the Brewing decision.

2382
01:29:40,885 --> 01:29:42,979
And what we found was that

2383
01:29:43,356 --> 01:29:45,828
about 50 percent, over 50 percent,

2384
01:29:46,625 --> 01:29:48,480
over 50 percent of the

2385
01:29:48,858 --> 01:29:49,358
denials

2386
01:29:49,989 --> 01:29:52,627
off the top with the permit to carry

2387
01:29:52,627 --> 01:29:53,106
applicants.

2388
01:29:53,745 --> 01:29:56,862
We're using this 2 c standard that's that's

2389
01:29:56,862 --> 01:29:58,300
a subjective standard.

2390
01:29:59,033 --> 01:30:02,063
And that's and, John. Here's... Here's what we're

2391
01:30:02,063 --> 01:30:02,462
gonna do.

2392
01:30:04,136 --> 01:30:06,688
Which which 1 sec. What what I'm gonna

2393
01:30:06,688 --> 01:30:08,939
do is I'm we're gonna We're... I'm losing

2394
01:30:08,939 --> 01:30:10,859
you again. So we're gonna go to a

2395
01:30:10,859 --> 01:30:11,500
quick break.

2396
01:30:12,300 --> 01:30:13,579
We usually break at the bottom of the

2397
01:30:13,579 --> 01:30:15,020
hour. Okay. So I'm gonna go to a

2398
01:30:15,020 --> 01:30:15,635
quick break

2399
01:30:16,151 --> 01:30:18,296
I'll ask you to disconnect and reconnect if

2400
01:30:18,296 --> 01:30:20,440
you don't mind, while I'm on break, and

2401
01:30:20,440 --> 01:30:20,679
then

2402
01:30:21,394 --> 01:30:22,109
as soon as

2403
01:30:23,078 --> 01:30:24,668
as soon as we come back from break.

2404
01:30:24,827 --> 01:30:27,133
Hopefully, we got a little bit more stable

2405
01:30:27,133 --> 01:30:28,722
of a connection. And

2406
01:30:29,279 --> 01:30:30,813
so we'll be right back

2407
01:30:31,284 --> 01:30:33,304
After this, we're talking with John Pet,

2408
01:30:33,844 --> 01:30:34,885
a penn patriot,

2409
01:30:35,524 --> 01:30:38,164
and we will be right back after this,

2410
01:30:38,804 --> 01:30:40,564
so don't go away.

2411
01:30:42,734 --> 01:30:46,163
Vortex offers the very best optics specifically made

2412
01:30:46,163 --> 01:30:49,274

2413
01:30:49,274 --> 01:30:49,673
environments.

2414
01:30:50,804 --> 01:30:53,438
Vortex optics build quality ensures accurate,

2415

reliable and repeatable performance every time you squeeze

2416
01:30:57,347 --> 01:30:57,827
the trigger.

2417
01:30:58,877 --> 01:31:01,657
Add fully multi coated lenses and nitrogen purging,

2418
01:31:01,895 --> 01:31:03,802
and you have a quality optic for an

2419
01:31:03,802 --> 01:31:06,979
extremely reasonable price pattern. That is the vortex

today.

2423
01:31:12,505 --> 01:31:13,005
Federal

2424
01:31:13,305 --> 01:31:14,505
ammunition is 100.

2425
01:31:15,225 --> 01:31:16,800
This is where the American

2426
01:31:17,159 --> 01:31:19,399
ingenuity met a trail blazing spirit.

2427
01:31:20,439 --> 01:31:23,420
Hard work united with patriotism and technology

2428
01:31:24,119 --> 01:31:25,614
blended with new ideas

2429
01:31:26,134 --> 01:31:27,650
That's federal ammunition.

and proud to be the best. Federal

2434
01:31:37,957 --> 01:31:41,303
ammunition, a century of innovation, and we're only

2435
01:31:41,303 --> 01:31:42,282
getting started

2436
01:31:42,592 --> 01:31:45,444
Carrying the firearm for personal protection has never

2437
01:31:45,444 --> 01:31:47,266
been more popular than it is today.

brought to you by

01:32:29,046 --> 01:32:31,041
Cc and vortex optics,

2453
01:32:31,599 --> 01:32:34,412
and we're having a fascinating discussion with

2454
01:32:34,804 --> 01:32:35,624
John Pet

2455
01:32:36,642 --> 01:32:37,142
from

2456
01:32:38,239 --> 01:32:41,276
he's the Penn patriot, and I wanted to

2457
01:32:41,276 --> 01:32:42,095
get him

2458
01:32:43,523 --> 01:32:45,613
reconnected, and maybe we'll get a more stable

2459
01:32:45,750 --> 01:32:46,250
connection

2460
01:32:47,022 --> 01:32:47,522
because

2461
01:32:48,135 --> 01:32:48,294
he,

2462
01:32:49,567 --> 01:32:50,203
right now,

2463
01:32:51,012 --> 01:32:53,479
it's not sound so good, but let's see

2464
01:32:53,479 --> 01:32:54,275
how it goes here.

2465
01:32:55,390 --> 01:32:57,697
Alright. Welcome back, John, and

2466
01:32:58,429 --> 01:33:00,662
I appreciate you going through that exercise for

2467
01:33:00,662 --> 01:33:03,532
me. You never know if you'll be better

2468
01:33:03,532 --> 01:33:06,323
or worse, but that's live radio for you,

2469
01:33:06,483 --> 01:33:07,200
or in this case.

2470
01:33:07,935 --> 01:33:09,295
Recorded radio for you. Right?

2471
01:33:10,414 --> 01:33:10,655
So...

2472
01:33:11,215 --> 01:33:11,454
Hey.

2473
01:33:12,175 --> 01:33:13,774
At least there's no... Can you hear me

2474
01:33:13,774 --> 01:33:14,414
okay, Toby?

2475
01:33:15,146 --> 01:33:16,975
I hear you loud and clear. And before

2476
01:33:16,975 --> 01:33:18,725
there was a perfect Yeah. So this is

2477
01:33:18,725 --> 01:33:19,361
good. So...

2478
01:33:20,156 --> 01:33:20,235
Yep.

2479
01:33:21,270 --> 01:33:24,132
Alright. So before the break, we were talking

2480
01:33:24,132 --> 01:33:24,585
about

2481
01:33:25,577 --> 01:33:26,791
this arbitrary

2482
01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:28,300
permitting

2483
01:33:28,989 --> 01:33:32,189
scheme and the public health and safety awareness

2484
01:33:32,323 --> 01:33:32,823
and

2485
01:33:33,928 --> 01:33:36,399
you read that quote that they have to

2486
01:33:36,399 --> 01:33:38,152
be in the interest of the public health

2487
01:33:38,152 --> 01:33:38,948
in order to be,

2488
01:33:39,985 --> 01:33:41,314
granted a license and

2489
01:33:42,069 --> 01:33:44,214
you guys also reached out to the,

2490
01:33:45,009 --> 01:33:45,826
the state

2491
01:33:46,279 --> 01:33:46,779
to

2492
01:33:47,154 --> 01:33:48,051
ask about

2493
01:33:48,504 --> 01:33:49,298
clarification on that. Right?

2494
01:33:50,426 --> 01:33:51,935
And so... Yeah,

2495
01:33:52,890 --> 01:33:56,466
this turned into a very large series of

2496
01:33:56,466 --> 01:33:56,966
articles.

2497
01:33:57,594 --> 01:33:59,426
For me. And I'm, you know, I'm really

2498
01:33:59,426 --> 01:34:00,802
pushing it because

2499
01:34:01,337 --> 01:34:03,725
I wanna make sure that this information gets

2500
01:34:03,725 --> 01:34:05,717
out there. I think it's very important.

2501
01:34:06,368 --> 01:34:09,399
And so when I found that fifth... More

2502
01:34:09,399 --> 01:34:12,350
than 50 percent of the denials were under

2503
01:34:12,350 --> 01:34:15,435
this public health safety welfare standard, which does

2504
01:34:15,554 --> 01:34:17,387
of Verb Bolton standard,

2505
01:34:18,742 --> 01:34:21,314
I reached out to the attorney general's office

2506
01:34:21,850 --> 01:34:24,260
for comment on that And, you know, I

2507
01:34:24,260 --> 01:34:25,939
wanted to know what the deal was.

2508
01:34:26,579 --> 01:34:27,079
And

2509
01:34:27,460 --> 01:34:29,479
right across the board unilaterally,

2510
01:34:30,260 --> 01:34:33,072
the attorney general and their office said, you

2511
01:34:33,072 --> 01:34:35,613
know, we... The office declines to combat that.

2512
01:34:36,567 --> 01:34:39,425
And I think it's important to note that

2513
01:34:39,425 --> 01:34:42,146
when I say that I... Wrote the attorney

2514
01:34:42,146 --> 01:34:43,024
general's office.

2515
01:34:43,743 --> 01:34:47,196
I'm writing to both his press office

2516
01:34:47,893 --> 01:34:49,032
and to his personal

2517
01:34:49,981 --> 01:34:52,048
professional email address directly.

2518
01:34:52,525 --> 01:34:55,149
So both the press office, which is who

2519
01:34:55,149 --> 01:34:57,239
responds to my requests or comment

2520
01:34:57,868 --> 01:35:01,944
and his actual email are getting this correspondence.

2521
01:35:02,397 --> 01:35:03,771
So they can't claim

2522
01:35:04,145 --> 01:35:06,704
that they're not aware of the issues that

2523
01:35:06,704 --> 01:35:07,976
are being uncovered,

2524
01:35:08,533 --> 01:35:11,497
you know, while I'm asking for comment. And

2525
01:35:12,429 --> 01:35:12,929
so

2526
01:35:13,877 --> 01:35:16,450
That was the 1 issue. The the next

2527
01:35:16,509 --> 01:35:20,118
issue that we found was excessive delays in

2528
01:35:20,734 --> 01:35:21,792
issuing permits

2529
01:35:22,344 --> 01:35:25,051
So those excessive delays, you say, well, what's

2530
01:35:25,051 --> 01:35:26,325
an excessive delay?

2531
01:35:26,962 --> 01:35:28,237
Prior to Brewing,

2532
01:35:28,715 --> 01:35:29,533
the longest

2533
01:35:29,988 --> 01:35:30,386
delayed...

2534
01:35:31,197 --> 01:35:33,981
Permit. So somebody applied for a permit to

2535
01:35:33,981 --> 01:35:36,765
carry in New Jersey in 20 19 prior

2536
01:35:36,765 --> 01:35:37,322
to Brew,

2537
01:35:37,975 --> 01:35:40,452
and they got issued their permit over a

2538
01:35:40,452 --> 01:35:44,309
thousand days later. And that thousand days later

2539
01:35:44,768 --> 01:35:47,745
amounted to something like 6 or 9 months

2540
01:35:47,979 --> 01:35:51,083
after the brewing decision. So you have the

2541
01:35:51,083 --> 01:35:51,583
brewing

2542
01:35:52,358 --> 01:35:53,654
decision calm down

2543
01:35:54,507 --> 01:35:58,029
as issuing authorities or still waiting an additional

2544
01:35:58,029 --> 01:35:59,247
6 months

2545
01:35:59,624 --> 01:36:00,842
to issue permits.

2546
01:36:01,858 --> 01:36:04,091
Okay. Alright. Well, that was pre growing. So

2547
01:36:04,091 --> 01:36:05,926
maybe we could give them a past.

2548
01:36:06,418 --> 01:36:07,529
I mean, I don't wanna give them a

2549
01:36:07,529 --> 01:36:09,115
s on anything, but let's try to be

2550
01:36:09,115 --> 01:36:09,432
nice.

2551
01:36:10,225 --> 01:36:10,385
Okay?

2552
01:36:11,812 --> 01:36:12,605
Post brewing.

2553
01:36:13,734 --> 01:36:17,329
Post b weights for permits to carry. The

2554
01:36:17,329 --> 01:36:21,186
longest weight that I found was over 500

2555
01:36:21,325 --> 01:36:21,725
days.

2556
01:36:22,218 --> 01:36:25,390
So somebody waited over 500 days in order

2557
01:36:25,390 --> 01:36:28,350
to get issued their permit to carry after

2558
01:36:28,484 --> 01:36:29,912
the Supreme Court said,

2559
01:36:30,484 --> 01:36:32,322
you shall issue these permits.

2560
01:36:32,882 --> 01:36:35,599
The peasants shall have their pitch works,

2561
01:36:36,158 --> 01:36:38,815
know you can't take them away, and

2562
01:36:39,288 --> 01:36:42,010
What did they say in b that these

2563
01:36:42,065 --> 01:36:44,073
permitting schemes, if they're

2564
01:36:44,684 --> 01:36:45,581
constitutional or

2565
01:36:45,953 --> 01:36:49,321
constitutional if there aren't excessive fees, if there

2566
01:36:49,321 --> 01:36:52,516
aren't excessive weights, if there aren't burdens to

2567
01:36:52,516 --> 01:36:53,656
the to the applicants,

2568
01:36:55,481 --> 01:36:57,782
and part of that, we didn't even talk

2569
01:36:57,782 --> 01:37:00,002
about this in this series of articles,

2570
01:37:00,557 --> 01:37:02,406
but the excessive fees

2571
01:37:02,874 --> 01:37:05,587
they increased our fees for permits to carry

2572
01:37:05,587 --> 01:37:06,646
to 200

2573
01:37:06,784 --> 01:37:07,284
dollars

2574
01:37:07,743 --> 01:37:09,818
when they changed the law in December of

2575
01:37:09,818 --> 01:37:10,935
20 22.

2576
01:37:11,587 --> 01:37:15,003
Now they wanna increase the fee to 400

2577
01:37:15,003 --> 01:37:15,479
dollars.

2578
01:37:15,956 --> 01:37:17,783
Now if you told me Toby, it's a

2579
01:37:17,783 --> 01:37:19,474
400 dollar permit

2580
01:37:19,863 --> 01:37:22,484
that permits good for 6 years. I mean,

2581
01:37:22,722 --> 01:37:24,153
I wouldn't be in love with that. I

2582
01:37:24,153 --> 01:37:26,138
think that's a poll tax. I think that's

2583
01:37:26,138 --> 01:37:27,909
ridiculous, but 600

2584
01:37:28,219 --> 01:37:30,771
you know, 400 bucks for, you know, 6

2585
01:37:30,771 --> 01:37:31,649
years, 10 years.

2586
01:37:32,605 --> 01:37:35,157
Alright. We could swallow that pill if you

2587
01:37:35,157 --> 01:37:35,657
am

2588
01:37:36,034 --> 01:37:38,122
the price over the time. But this is

2589
01:37:38,122 --> 01:37:39,635
a 2 year permit, Toby.

2590
01:37:41,228 --> 01:37:44,276
Yeah. Ridiculous. That's... This is so

2591
01:37:45,448 --> 01:37:48,167
unconstitutional on its face as far as I'm

2592
01:37:48,167 --> 01:37:48,405
concerned,

2593
01:37:49,119 --> 01:37:50,573
I can't conceive

2594
01:37:51,185 --> 01:37:51,844
of a

2595
01:37:52,218 --> 01:37:53,036
situation where

2596
01:37:53,664 --> 01:37:55,603
this type of scheme is

2597
01:37:55,982 --> 01:37:59,099
constitutional in any situation. The closest thing I

2598
01:37:59,099 --> 01:38:00,877
could come up with as a

2599
01:38:01,576 --> 01:38:02,695
constitutional permitting scheme.

2600
01:38:03,908 --> 01:38:07,177
Is very similar to, like, Pennsylvania, which my

2601
01:38:07,177 --> 01:38:10,846
buddy who left Massachusetts move to Pennsylvania. And

2602
01:38:10,846 --> 01:38:13,095
he went down to the town hall and

2603
01:38:13,255 --> 01:38:14,614
I think he paid 20 bucks,

2604
01:38:15,414 --> 01:38:16,154
and they

2605
01:38:16,694 --> 01:38:18,135
we're, like, okay. I'll be right back, and

2606
01:38:18,135 --> 01:38:19,414
they went in the back and came out

2607
01:38:19,414 --> 01:38:20,055
with this permit.

2608
01:38:20,629 --> 01:38:23,266
And went. What? Like, are you kidding? And

2609
01:38:23,266 --> 01:38:23,666
they're like,

2610
01:38:24,625 --> 01:38:26,143
no. What what would you think was gonna

2611
01:38:26,143 --> 01:38:27,661
happen? I figured it out. Have To wait

2612
01:38:27,661 --> 01:38:29,746
a month or 2 and Like, oh, no

2613
01:38:29,746 --> 01:38:30,936
we print them right here, I'll be right

2614
01:38:30,936 --> 01:38:33,000
out, you know, and they handed him his

2615
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:35,301
permit across the table after paying a 20

2616
01:38:35,301 --> 01:38:36,770
dollar fee. In

2617
01:38:37,229 --> 01:38:39,729
minutes. Like that is maybe

2618
01:38:41,069 --> 01:38:43,149
constitutional. But everything else like you go through

2619
01:38:43,149 --> 01:38:43,969
in new Jersey

2620
01:38:44,364 --> 01:38:45,979
what we go through in Massachusetts

2621
01:38:46,755 --> 01:38:47,255
is

2622
01:38:48,189 --> 01:38:50,021
let's call it what it is. It is

2623
01:38:50,021 --> 01:38:50,920
a backdoor

2624
01:38:52,029 --> 01:38:52,529
gun

2625
01:38:52,986 --> 01:38:53,486
prohibition

2626
01:38:54,421 --> 01:38:54,921
on

2627
01:38:55,538 --> 01:38:57,931
exercising your civil rights. That's really all it

2628
01:38:57,931 --> 01:39:01,063
is. Oh, yeah. And it's totally criminal, 100

2629
01:39:01,201 --> 01:39:03,994
percent. I applied for my permit to carry

2630
01:39:03,994 --> 01:39:07,721
in New Jersey in September of 20 22.

2631
01:39:08,038 --> 01:39:09,386
I was little late to the game.

2632
01:39:10,039 --> 01:39:12,117
Considering the decision came down in June. Right?

2633
01:39:13,796 --> 01:39:16,672
I got my permit issued right before shot

2634
01:39:16,672 --> 01:39:18,690
show in 20 23

2635
01:39:19,003 --> 01:39:21,068
And I realized when I was at Shot

2636
01:39:21,068 --> 01:39:23,450
show that they issued me my permit with

2637
01:39:23,450 --> 01:39:25,991
my wrong birth date on it. So I

2638
01:39:25,991 --> 01:39:28,079
had to go and get my new permit

2639
01:39:28,628 --> 01:39:29,128
rei

2640
01:39:29,584 --> 01:39:32,951
to me, which to their credit, they ex

2641
01:39:33,646 --> 01:39:36,752
took care of, but they still screwed it

2642
01:39:36,752 --> 01:39:36,991
up.

2643
01:39:37,643 --> 01:39:40,657
So I went from September to January to

2644
01:39:40,657 --> 01:39:41,767
get issued my permit.

2645
01:39:42,402 --> 01:39:45,020
Now not too long ago, couple months ago.

2646
01:39:45,908 --> 01:39:46,966
I put in my

2647
01:39:47,502 --> 01:39:49,176
application for my Pennsylvania,

2648
01:39:49,573 --> 01:39:51,725
non resident permit. Now mind you, this is

2649
01:39:51,725 --> 01:39:53,000
a non resident permit.

2650
01:39:53,733 --> 01:39:55,750
And they do allow you to

2651
01:39:56,127 --> 01:39:56,627
apply

2652
01:39:57,005 --> 01:40:00,596
depending on the jurisdiction via email and electronic

2653
01:40:00,596 --> 01:40:00,916
system.

2654
01:40:01,649 --> 01:40:02,866
I put my

2655
01:40:03,403 --> 01:40:06,909
application in at midnight Eastern standard Time.

2656
01:40:08,265 --> 01:40:09,221
At 8AM,

2657
01:40:09,873 --> 01:40:11,858
when I woke up after 8AM.

2658
01:40:12,573 --> 01:40:15,828
At 8AM, there was an email from that

2659
01:40:15,828 --> 01:40:17,417
issuing authority saying,

2660
01:40:17,909 --> 01:40:20,149
your permit is approved, come and pick it

2661
01:40:20,149 --> 01:40:22,010
up. And The most

2662
01:40:22,550 --> 01:40:23,050
difficult

2663
01:40:23,350 --> 01:40:26,310
part about me getting my Pennsylvania permit to

2664
01:40:26,310 --> 01:40:26,810
carry,

2665
01:40:27,524 --> 01:40:31,054
was driving the 2 hours to that sheriff's

2666
01:40:31,192 --> 01:40:34,462
department that I applied to. Now, truth be

2667
01:40:34,462 --> 01:40:37,187
told, I applied to a sheriff's department that

2668
01:40:37,346 --> 01:40:40,296
I knew was friendly to the second amendment

2669
01:40:40,296 --> 01:40:42,766
that I knew was friendly to out of

2670
01:40:42,766 --> 01:40:44,542
state getting their permits

2671
01:40:45,251 --> 01:40:46,466
and that was proved

2672
01:40:46,997 --> 01:40:48,687
in the 8 hour turnaround,

2673
01:40:49,774 --> 01:40:51,600
can we really call out an 8 hour

2674
01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:54,235
turnaround if that woman's because it was a

2675
01:40:54,235 --> 01:40:57,199
woman that received my paperwork. If her workday

2676
01:40:57,494 --> 01:40:58,686
starts at 8AM,

2677
01:40:58,925 --> 01:41:00,856
and I've got my acceptance

2678
01:41:01,548 --> 01:41:02,582
around 8AM,

2679
01:41:03,154 --> 01:41:04,823
what what do you call that wait time?

2680
01:41:05,063 --> 01:41:07,051
I think that's what you call instant.

2681
01:41:07,688 --> 01:41:09,301
Right. Right. And

2682
01:41:10,168 --> 01:41:12,101
it's funny because we had a similar

2683
01:41:12,476 --> 01:41:15,659
situation in Massachusetts. A lot of Massachusetts residents

2684
01:41:15,659 --> 01:41:16,398
would get

2685
01:41:18,221 --> 01:41:21,248
New Hampshire license to carry when they they

2686
01:41:21,248 --> 01:41:23,478
still issue it even though they're constant will

2687
01:41:23,478 --> 01:41:23,978
carry.

2688
01:41:24,912 --> 01:41:27,640
But we we would get would wait 1

2689
01:41:27,640 --> 01:41:29,159
to 3 months for our license.

2690
01:41:29,880 --> 01:41:30,539
And then

2691
01:41:30,840 --> 01:41:33,079
the meantime, they would apply to New Hampshire,

2692
01:41:33,399 --> 01:41:34,680
and they'd get it in less than a

2693
01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:36,920
week. You know, they'd get their permit back

2694
01:41:36,920 --> 01:41:38,346
in a week. That's right in the mail?

2695
01:41:38,506 --> 01:41:40,488
Like, what the heck? You know, this... And

2696
01:41:40,488 --> 01:41:41,463
it was so

2697
01:41:42,073 --> 01:41:42,573
shocking

2698
01:41:43,358 --> 01:41:45,658
to the people of Massachusetts who are so

2699
01:41:45,658 --> 01:41:47,507
used to the red tape and the bureaucracy

2700
01:41:47,720 --> 01:41:50,497
and the and the delays and the weights.

2701
01:41:50,655 --> 01:41:51,155
But

2702
01:41:51,624 --> 01:41:54,417
you bring up a interesting point. And we've

2703
01:41:54,417 --> 01:41:57,210
all heard the saying, you know, justice delayed

2704
01:41:57,210 --> 01:41:58,406
is Justice denied.

2705
01:41:59,218 --> 01:42:00,728
Well, what are rights delayed?

2706
01:42:01,444 --> 01:42:02,102
Our rights

2707
01:42:02,476 --> 01:42:05,496
delayed. Our rights denied, 100 percent, Toby.

2708
01:42:07,324 --> 01:42:07,824
So

2709
01:42:08,453 --> 01:42:11,402
excessive delays, another issue that we uncovered. So

2710
01:42:11,402 --> 01:42:13,155
what do I do? I reach out to

2711
01:42:13,155 --> 01:42:15,466
the attorney general's office yet again,

2712
01:42:16,196 --> 01:42:18,414
And it's like, I'm singing Alice restaurant Right?

2713
01:42:18,573 --> 01:42:20,316
And I went down there again, and I

2714
01:42:20,316 --> 01:42:22,614
wrote to the attorney general again.

2715
01:42:23,264 --> 01:42:26,217
And the attorney general, again said that we

2716
01:42:26,217 --> 01:42:28,052
declined to comment. They did not wanna comment

2717
01:42:28,052 --> 01:42:30,309
on that. Now there is a stat

2718
01:42:32,300 --> 01:42:33,039
a statutory

2719
01:42:34,699 --> 01:42:35,899
you know, time limit.

2720
01:42:36,539 --> 01:42:38,539
They have a hundred and 20 days to

2721
01:42:38,539 --> 01:42:40,274
issue these permits. But

2722
01:42:40,713 --> 01:42:43,025
not really. If you read the fine print,

2723
01:42:43,583 --> 01:42:46,555
it says a hundred and 20 days after

2724
01:42:47,171 --> 01:42:48,627
the issuing authority,

2725
01:42:49,260 --> 01:42:53,579
has determined that the application is complete. So

2726
01:42:53,579 --> 01:42:54,880
if you have your app

2727
01:42:55,340 --> 01:42:57,260
application, which is sitting on their desk and

2728
01:42:57,260 --> 01:42:59,592
now It's all electronic. So it's in the

2729
01:42:59,592 --> 01:43:00,072
ether,

2730
01:43:00,631 --> 01:43:02,329
it can sit there forever

2731
01:43:03,588 --> 01:43:06,465
until the issuing authority says, quote unquote,

2732
01:43:07,039 --> 01:43:08,079
it's complete.

2733
01:43:08,719 --> 01:43:10,340
You know, that's... This is

2734
01:43:11,119 --> 01:43:11,619
ridiculous.

2735
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:12,500
And

2736
01:43:13,599 --> 01:43:16,099
I asked about that if there's any guidance

2737
01:43:16,334 --> 01:43:20,110
coming out on ensuring that permits get issued

2738
01:43:20,409 --> 01:43:23,367
within that hundred and 20 a time frame.

2739
01:43:23,766 --> 01:43:25,225
Again, radio silence

2740
01:43:26,096 --> 01:43:27,073
And what's interesting

2741
01:43:27,685 --> 01:43:30,704
about this data is 10 percent of the

2742
01:43:30,704 --> 01:43:31,204
permits

2743
01:43:31,658 --> 01:43:33,962
in New Jersey that were being issued.

2744
01:43:34,613 --> 01:43:35,749
Were after,

2745
01:43:36,124 --> 01:43:38,193
like, a hundred and 20 days or more.

2746
01:43:38,591 --> 01:43:40,601
So people are having their rights

2747
01:43:43,216 --> 01:43:44,034
I mean, they're

2748
01:43:44,488 --> 01:43:46,474
if you have to wait period end of

2749
01:43:46,474 --> 01:43:49,095
story. Let's get that clear. A hundred and

2750
01:43:49,095 --> 01:43:52,372
20 days is unreasonable in my opinion. But

2751
01:43:52,372 --> 01:43:54,838
let's play by their rules. 10 percent of

2752
01:43:54,838 --> 01:43:56,987
applicants are over a hundred and 20 days.

2753
01:43:57,637 --> 01:43:59,648
10 percent of applicants are also

2754
01:44:00,101 --> 01:44:01,293
under 10 days.

2755
01:44:01,929 --> 01:44:04,948
Okay. Now we're talking. So about 10 percent

2756
01:44:04,948 --> 01:44:06,061
of the jurisdictions,

2757
01:44:06,792 --> 01:44:08,485
almost have it right because

2758
01:44:09,019 --> 01:44:12,143
under 10 days is close to 1 day

2759
01:44:12,279 --> 01:44:14,188
in comparison to a hundred and 20,

2760
01:44:14,840 --> 01:44:16,534
right? I'm of the opinion that

2761
01:44:16,910 --> 01:44:17,888
you are

2762
01:44:18,264 --> 01:44:19,242
if this is

2763
01:44:19,937 --> 01:44:22,565
constitutional, it should be instant. Like, could give

2764
01:44:22,565 --> 01:44:23,521
it to me now.

2765
01:44:24,094 --> 01:44:26,350
I've already went through the hoops to buy

2766
01:44:26,569 --> 01:44:28,085
or I'm so you know I'm an eligible

2767
01:44:28,085 --> 01:44:31,038
person. What's the problem? Now you could talk

2768
01:44:31,038 --> 01:44:33,997
about training, and and all of the other

2769
01:44:33,997 --> 01:44:36,561
requirements and and needing to have a

2770
01:44:37,093 --> 01:44:38,943
qualification, and whether or not that's

2771
01:44:39,395 --> 01:44:41,954
constitutional until the sun comes up, But we

2772
01:44:41,954 --> 01:44:44,350
are not disqualify people if we're gun owners

2773
01:44:44,350 --> 01:44:46,667
that we bought our firearms from an F

2774
01:44:46,667 --> 01:44:48,506
nfl. So what is the issue? Right?

2775
01:44:49,158 --> 01:44:49,319
Right.

2776
01:44:50,993 --> 01:44:54,343
And then the average time on the issuance

2777
01:44:54,343 --> 01:44:57,135
of permits to carry was around, I wanna

2778
01:44:57,135 --> 01:44:58,411
say the 54

2779
01:44:58,411 --> 01:45:00,582
day mark 50 something days. I don't have

2780
01:45:00,582 --> 01:45:02,180
that number exactly in front of me.

2781
01:45:03,139 --> 01:45:03,639
Which

2782
01:45:04,097 --> 01:45:06,256
50 days is still, you know,

2783
01:45:07,149 --> 01:45:09,796
it's not as bad as waiting from September

2784
01:45:10,728 --> 01:45:14,228
September, October, November, December. That's 4 months. That's

2785
01:45:14,228 --> 01:45:16,548
more than 50 days. So even if I

2786
01:45:16,548 --> 01:45:18,137
was at the average, you know, I was

2787
01:45:18,137 --> 01:45:21,318
over the, you know, pretty much close to

2788
01:45:21,318 --> 01:45:23,304
being over that hundred and 20 day mark,

2789
01:45:23,463 --> 01:45:24,361
I didn't really

2790
01:45:24,989 --> 01:45:26,907
you know, map it out when they told

2791
01:45:26,907 --> 01:45:29,404
me, I was good to go, but nonetheless,

2792
01:45:30,742 --> 01:45:33,235
those are the problems that we found. I

2793
01:45:33,235 --> 01:45:36,755
also went in and that information about the

2794
01:45:36,755 --> 01:45:37,074
delays.

2795
01:45:37,715 --> 01:45:38,215
I

2796
01:45:38,595 --> 01:45:41,255
received that through an open public records act

2797
01:45:41,314 --> 01:45:42,329
request, and that

2798
01:45:42,687 --> 01:45:44,752
request is basically, like, a freedom of information,

2799
01:45:44,910 --> 01:45:46,260
act request in New Jersey.

2800
01:45:47,292 --> 01:45:49,118
And I had to request that because that

2801
01:45:49,118 --> 01:45:51,501
actual information wasn't in this dashboard.

2802
01:45:51,914 --> 01:45:53,372
What also was an

2803
01:45:53,829 --> 01:45:55,207
information that was in the dashboard

2804
01:45:55,586 --> 01:45:56,086
was

2805
01:45:56,463 --> 01:45:59,496
information about the race of the applicants. Now,

2806
01:46:00,787 --> 01:46:02,320
the attorney general,

2807
01:46:02,774 --> 01:46:05,399
when I sent them the open public records

2808
01:46:05,478 --> 01:46:06,455
Act request

2809
01:46:06,909 --> 01:46:09,613
turned around and gave me instructions on how

2810
01:46:09,613 --> 01:46:11,059
to act access the data.

2811
01:46:12,093 --> 01:46:14,717
I went through that dashboard. Other people went

2812
01:46:14,717 --> 01:46:17,024
through that dashboard. We were talking about this.

2813
01:46:17,183 --> 01:46:18,558
We knew that

2814
01:46:18,868 --> 01:46:22,135
it was impossible or difficult to access the

2815
01:46:22,135 --> 01:46:24,365
race data. We could not find it. But

2816
01:46:24,365 --> 01:46:27,631
nonetheless, armed with how to access this race

2817
01:46:27,631 --> 01:46:29,314
data, What did I find out?

2818
01:46:30,267 --> 01:46:31,402
We found out

2819
01:46:31,854 --> 01:46:35,132
that more than 2 and a half times

2820
01:46:35,997 --> 01:46:39,500
black applicants are denied permits to carry over

2821
01:46:39,500 --> 01:46:39,818
whites.

2822
01:46:41,091 --> 01:46:41,807
Okay. Well,

2823
01:46:42,603 --> 01:46:44,195
a lot of people will sit there and

2824
01:46:44,195 --> 01:46:47,718
say, well, there's higher instances of criminal, you

2825
01:46:47,718 --> 01:46:50,988
know, background in in the black community. And

2826
01:46:50,988 --> 01:46:52,598
we could talk about that, and we could

2827
01:46:52,598 --> 01:46:54,506
talk about that for years, and we could

2828
01:46:54,506 --> 01:46:56,333
talk about why that is, and we could

2829
01:46:56,333 --> 01:46:58,797
talk about failures in society. We could talk

2830
01:46:58,797 --> 01:47:00,783
about all that, but that's not what we're

2831
01:47:00,783 --> 01:47:02,711
gonna do. What we're gonna do is go

2832
01:47:02,711 --> 01:47:05,741
back to that subjective standard. This is the

2833
01:47:05,741 --> 01:47:08,533
1 where the issuing authority can say, hey,

2834
01:47:08,693 --> 01:47:10,447
this isn't in the interest of public health

2835
01:47:10,447 --> 01:47:11,245
safety welfare.

2836
01:47:12,060 --> 01:47:13,439
2.3

2837
01:47:13,500 --> 01:47:14,000
times

2838
01:47:14,539 --> 01:47:14,939
more,

2839
01:47:15,979 --> 01:47:18,000
blacks are denied over whites

2840
01:47:18,380 --> 01:47:22,073
on a subjective standard. So well over double,

2841
01:47:22,792 --> 01:47:25,269
blacks are being denied their rights to carry

2842
01:47:25,269 --> 01:47:27,665
in New Jersey. Based on an opinion,

2843
01:47:28,640 --> 01:47:28,880
Wow.

2844
01:47:29,440 --> 01:47:30,159
Wow. That's...

2845
01:47:31,920 --> 01:47:35,520
It... I talk about the racist history of

2846
01:47:35,520 --> 01:47:36,420
gun control

2847
01:47:36,734 --> 01:47:38,086
as if it was a thing in the

2848
01:47:38,086 --> 01:47:38,484
past.

2849
01:47:39,199 --> 01:47:39,438
Like,

2850
01:47:40,154 --> 01:47:41,768
you know, this thing that you,

2851
01:47:42,143 --> 01:47:43,359
you know, we had

2852
01:47:43,827 --> 01:47:46,761
we had the car... The cruise shank decision

2853
01:47:46,761 --> 01:47:48,189
in 18 75,

2854
01:47:49,060 --> 01:47:52,175
very racist Supreme Court decision. We had the

2855
01:47:52,175 --> 01:47:53,454
whole Jim Crow era.

2856
01:47:54,255 --> 01:47:55,854
We had a lot of bad,

2857
01:47:57,454 --> 01:47:58,515
bad racism.

2858
01:47:59,068 --> 01:48:01,631
And gun control was literally created

2859
01:48:02,162 --> 01:48:03,750
to keep guns out of the hands of

2860
01:48:03,750 --> 01:48:04,305
black people.

2861
01:48:05,177 --> 01:48:05,677
And

2862
01:48:06,384 --> 01:48:08,930
fast forward in 20 24,

2863
01:48:09,726 --> 01:48:11,158
June of 20 24,

2864
01:48:11,556 --> 01:48:13,387
we're still dealing with the same issue.

2865
01:48:14,118 --> 01:48:17,643
In places like New Jersey and probably in

2866
01:48:17,780 --> 01:48:18,280
other

2867
01:48:19,212 --> 01:48:22,475
may issue states that aren't quite complying with

2868
01:48:22,475 --> 01:48:23,613
the shall issue

2869
01:48:23,925 --> 01:48:26,158
brewing mandate that came as a result of

2870
01:48:26,238 --> 01:48:27,355
Nice e brewing.

2871
01:48:28,073 --> 01:48:28,573
So

2872
01:48:29,271 --> 01:48:29,430
I,

2873
01:48:30,388 --> 01:48:33,113
this is making, you know, my head explode

2874
01:48:33,113 --> 01:48:35,182
here because I would love to access this

2875
01:48:35,182 --> 01:48:37,649
type of data in my state, and I

2876
01:48:37,649 --> 01:48:39,241
bet you 20 bucks to Sunday.

2877
01:48:39,974 --> 01:48:42,604
This... It's probably pretty close to what's going

2878
01:48:42,604 --> 01:48:43,480
on in New Jersey.

2879
01:48:45,552 --> 01:48:47,488
It very may well be. And

2880
01:48:48,118 --> 01:48:49,474
You know, this is a thing that we

2881
01:48:49,474 --> 01:48:51,547
could talk about offline, you know, and maybe

2882
01:48:51,547 --> 01:48:53,143
it it'll be a good project for us.

2883
01:48:54,498 --> 01:48:56,572
But here's the thing. So we've got this

2884
01:48:56,572 --> 01:48:57,072
data

2885
01:48:57,544 --> 01:48:59,882
and we've uncovered this racial bias

2886
01:49:00,501 --> 01:49:01,300
in the permitting.

2887
01:49:01,859 --> 01:49:04,497
And I reached out to the attorney general's

2888
01:49:04,497 --> 01:49:05,935
office, Matthew Pla.

2889
01:49:06,588 --> 01:49:08,822
Okay. And can you guess what Matthew Platt

2890
01:49:09,220 --> 01:49:10,975
Office had to say to me, Toby? What

2891
01:49:10,975 --> 01:49:11,693
do you think you said?

2892
01:49:13,528 --> 01:49:14,586
We respectfully

2893
01:49:15,122 --> 01:49:16,652
deny comment at this time.

2894
01:49:17,685 --> 01:49:19,435
We declined to comment.

2895
01:49:20,470 --> 01:49:21,424
Okay. That's great.

2896
01:49:22,060 --> 01:49:22,935
That's awesome.

2897
01:49:23,590 --> 01:49:24,149
Yep. Yeah.

2898
01:49:25,350 --> 01:49:27,510
So you get, like, you get an a

2899
01:49:27,510 --> 01:49:29,270
on that, not an a plus because it

2900
01:49:29,270 --> 01:49:30,069
wasn't verbatim.

2901
01:49:30,710 --> 01:49:32,723
Rob. So what did I do? You know,

2902
01:49:33,042 --> 01:49:35,615
now the attorney general is fully

2903
01:49:36,153 --> 01:49:39,502
unnoticed. The attorney general knows that there are

2904
01:49:39,502 --> 01:49:42,156
all these permitting abuses in New Jersey

2905
01:49:42,469 --> 01:49:44,789
that we learned from his permit to carry

2906
01:49:44,789 --> 01:49:46,469
dashboard. Thank you for the present.

2907
01:49:48,550 --> 01:49:51,725
And his directive that the data be obtained

2908
01:49:51,925 --> 01:49:52,323
Thank you.

2909
01:49:53,523 --> 01:49:54,961
What did I do? I waited a little

2910
01:49:54,961 --> 01:49:56,958
bit of time, and I put about a

2911
01:49:56,958 --> 01:49:58,097
month's cas

2912
01:49:59,115 --> 01:49:59,615
between

2913
01:50:00,170 --> 01:50:02,886
the revelations and what we're, you know, figuring

2914
01:50:02,886 --> 01:50:03,866
out about

2915
01:50:04,246 --> 01:50:05,305
excessive weights

2916
01:50:05,844 --> 01:50:08,902
and what we figured out about subjective standard

2917
01:50:09,041 --> 01:50:09,895
denials and

2918
01:50:10,334 --> 01:50:10,834
specifically

2919
01:50:11,293 --> 01:50:11,932
racial bias.

2920
01:50:12,810 --> 01:50:16,087
And I filed 2 more open public record

2921
01:50:16,087 --> 01:50:17,125
acts requests,

2922
01:50:17,859 --> 01:50:19,609
in New Jersey to the attorney general. On

2923
01:50:19,609 --> 01:50:21,780
and both of those independent requests

2924
01:50:22,156 --> 01:50:23,212
requested similar

2925
01:50:23,747 --> 01:50:26,612
things. Both of the requests were seeking guidance.

2926
01:50:27,183 --> 01:50:28,637
From the attorney general

2927
01:50:29,012 --> 01:50:30,364
to issuing authorities.

2928
01:50:30,842 --> 01:50:34,103
I wanted to know what guidance the attorney

2929
01:50:34,103 --> 01:50:35,590
general sent to these

2930
01:50:36,105 --> 01:50:38,750
these police chiefs on issuing

2931
01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:40,100
specifically

2932
01:50:40,950 --> 01:50:41,450
about

2933
01:50:42,141 --> 01:50:43,118
excessive weights

2934
01:50:43,572 --> 01:50:45,183
over a hundred and 20 days

2935
01:50:45,493 --> 01:50:47,884
and racial bias and the use of a

2936
01:50:47,884 --> 01:50:48,839
subjective standard.

2937
01:50:49,476 --> 01:50:52,207
Did the attorney general send out

2938
01:50:52,519 --> 01:50:53,019
any

2939
01:50:53,474 --> 01:50:56,761
information to these issuing authorities about these

2940
01:50:57,136 --> 01:50:57,636
problems,

2941
01:50:59,207 --> 01:50:59,923
unconstitutional issues.

2942
01:51:01,215 --> 01:51:04,015
And my request, my Oprah requests,

2943
01:51:04,574 --> 01:51:06,494
they were denied, but it's not like they

2944
01:51:06,494 --> 01:51:07,395
were denied

2945
01:51:08,015 --> 01:51:09,715
because I didn't have a business

2946
01:51:10,748 --> 01:51:11,067
you know,

2947
01:51:11,942 --> 01:51:14,032
asking for the information

2948
01:51:14,487 --> 01:51:18,146
after the denial portion of the Oprah came

2949
01:51:18,146 --> 01:51:19,203
out, I'm reading

2950
01:51:19,593 --> 01:51:22,218
and from the custodian of the records for

2951
01:51:22,218 --> 01:51:24,127
the attorney general's office said,

2952
01:51:24,763 --> 01:51:26,457
no such record

2953
01:51:27,149 --> 01:51:27,547
exists.

2954
01:51:28,198 --> 01:51:32,178
The attorney general did not address the racial

2955
01:51:32,178 --> 01:51:35,862
bias. He did not address the excessive weights

2956
01:51:36,238 --> 01:51:37,613
and any of this

2957
01:51:38,003 --> 01:51:40,386
with permit to carry in New Jersey.

2958
01:51:41,022 --> 01:51:41,260
Wow,

2959
01:51:42,213 --> 01:51:42,611
unbelievable.

2960
01:51:43,802 --> 01:51:45,470
I'm from the government. I'm here to help.

2961
01:51:45,709 --> 01:51:45,868
Right?

2962
01:51:46,758 --> 01:51:48,534
Exactly. And this is

2963
01:51:48,991 --> 01:51:50,130
all very relevant,

2964
01:51:51,225 --> 01:51:52,022
coming up in a few,

2965
01:51:53,139 --> 01:51:54,894
with 1 of your future guests, This is

2966
01:51:54,894 --> 01:51:55,850
kind of relevant.

2967
01:51:56,584 --> 01:51:58,739
Because what did I do after I got

2968
01:51:58,739 --> 01:52:00,815
my oprah, and I found out there was

2969
01:52:00,815 --> 01:52:01,533
0 guidance.

2970
01:52:02,092 --> 01:52:04,327
I wrote the attorney general's office again, and

2971
01:52:04,487 --> 01:52:07,318
I asked them. Do they have any comment

2972
01:52:07,777 --> 01:52:10,414
on their lack of guidance and do they

2973
01:52:10,414 --> 01:52:13,551
intend on spending out guidance on these very

2974
01:52:13,610 --> 01:52:16,413
important issues And Toby, can you guess what

2975
01:52:16,413 --> 01:52:18,084
the attorney general had to say?

2976
01:52:19,356 --> 01:52:20,390
Let me see if I can get it

2977
01:52:20,390 --> 01:52:22,697
right this time. We declined to comment.

2978
01:52:23,426 --> 01:52:23,926
Bingo,

2979
01:52:24,457 --> 01:52:26,596
the office declines to comment.

2980
01:52:27,231 --> 01:52:30,243
So they are on they are on report.

2981
01:52:30,894 --> 01:52:33,600
They know about the issues and they know

2982
01:52:33,600 --> 01:52:36,147
that they have ignored the issues and they

2983
01:52:36,147 --> 01:52:38,296
know that they're being watched like a hawk.

2984
01:52:39,349 --> 01:52:41,506
And I think this is all very relevant,

2985
01:52:42,385 --> 01:52:44,943
especially because... And I'm not gonna steal the

2986
01:52:44,943 --> 01:52:47,020
thunder from another 1 of your guests.

2987
01:52:47,594 --> 01:52:48,813
But there is a lawsuit

2988
01:52:49,511 --> 01:52:52,408
New Jersey that doesn't have to do specifically

2989
01:52:52,627 --> 01:52:54,166
with permits to carry

2990
01:52:54,639 --> 01:52:56,817
but it does have to do with similar

2991
01:52:56,956 --> 01:52:57,435
abuses.

2992
01:52:58,154 --> 01:53:00,870
And when I wrote the attorney, general's office,

2993
01:53:02,081 --> 01:53:03,854
about the launch of this

2994
01:53:04,308 --> 01:53:04,808
lawsuit?

2995
01:53:06,058 --> 01:53:07,967
What do you think their office had to

2996
01:53:07,967 --> 01:53:08,127
say?

2997
01:53:08,859 --> 01:53:11,017
I'm getting good at this. The office declines

2998
01:53:11,017 --> 01:53:11,656
to comment.

2999
01:53:13,974 --> 01:53:16,292
You you lose. Good day, sir. What they

3000
01:53:16,292 --> 01:53:18,050
said was, what's your timeline?

3001
01:53:18,385 --> 01:53:21,265
What's your what's your deadline. And I said

3002
01:53:21,265 --> 01:53:22,145
my deadline is,

3003
01:53:22,784 --> 01:53:25,185
I will gladly wait a few days to

3004
01:53:25,185 --> 01:53:27,354
get a comment from you. Right? And I

3005
01:53:27,354 --> 01:53:28,862
think that was a fair thing to say.

3006
01:53:29,338 --> 01:53:31,244
Right? So the next morning I woke up,

3007
01:53:31,403 --> 01:53:32,991
and then I got an email from the

3008
01:53:32,991 --> 01:53:34,579
attorney general's office, and I'll give you 1

3009
01:53:34,579 --> 01:53:36,505
more shot to redeem yourself. What do you

3010
01:53:36,505 --> 01:53:38,904
think the attorney general said after I gave

3011
01:53:38,904 --> 01:53:39,944
them time to comment?

3012
01:53:42,425 --> 01:53:43,724
I'm gonna stick with

3013
01:53:44,440 --> 01:53:47,000
The office has no comment for 200 dollars,

3014
01:53:47,159 --> 01:53:47,480
Alex.

3015
01:53:48,520 --> 01:53:51,820
Correct. The office declines to comment on the

3016
01:53:51,960 --> 01:53:53,159
litigation at this time.

3017
01:53:53,734 --> 01:53:56,448
So there are rampant abuses going on in

3018
01:53:56,608 --> 01:53:59,402
New Jersey. The attorney general knows about them.

3019
01:53:59,641 --> 01:54:01,977
The governor knows about them. The governor

3020
01:54:02,928 --> 01:54:04,921
3 requests for comment,

3021
01:54:05,399 --> 01:54:06,377
all have gone

3022
01:54:07,391 --> 01:54:09,703
ignored. They have not responded to a single

3023
01:54:09,703 --> 01:54:11,950
1 of my requests. But for them to

3024
01:54:11,950 --> 01:54:14,125
say that they don't know. It's Total M

3025
01:54:14,262 --> 01:54:16,336
because I tag them in all of this

3026
01:54:16,336 --> 01:54:19,287
stuff, I have no problem putting my article

3027
01:54:19,287 --> 01:54:21,614
out there. And I'm gonna tag them when

3028
01:54:21,773 --> 01:54:23,049
I do it. So they could see it.

3029
01:54:23,368 --> 01:54:25,042
People could see it. They can't say that

3030
01:54:25,042 --> 01:54:27,832
they don't know. And now, they're also being

3031
01:54:27,832 --> 01:54:28,332
sued

3032
01:54:28,804 --> 01:54:32,077
for similar issues, and, you know, you'll you'll

3033
01:54:32,077 --> 01:54:33,913
get to talk about that, I think, tomorrow.

3034
01:54:34,392 --> 01:54:37,506
Yes. I'm really excited about that conversation

3035
01:54:37,998 --> 01:54:38,714
But also,

3036
01:54:39,827 --> 01:54:40,565
this is

3037
01:54:42,052 --> 01:54:45,072
unfortunately the way of government nowadays is,

3038
01:54:45,724 --> 01:54:47,976
they look at their role as

3039
01:54:48,432 --> 01:54:49,946
that you work for them,

3040
01:54:50,583 --> 01:54:52,016
not they work for us.

3041
01:54:52,654 --> 01:54:54,939
Like, the script has been flipped

3042
01:54:55,536 --> 01:54:55,932
completely.

3043
01:54:56,489 --> 01:54:56,989
And

3044
01:54:57,363 --> 01:54:59,588
they don't think that they derive their power

3045
01:54:59,588 --> 01:55:01,734
from the people. They think they sit in

3046
01:55:01,734 --> 01:55:04,704
their ivory powers, and they are the grant

3047
01:55:04,704 --> 01:55:07,505
of rights now. They aren't the gatekeeper of

3048
01:55:07,505 --> 01:55:09,905
our rights anymore. They are the the the

3049
01:55:09,905 --> 01:55:11,604
ones who can tell you

3050
01:55:12,079 --> 01:55:13,917
where to go how to do it in

3051
01:55:13,917 --> 01:55:14,956
in what fashion.

3052
01:55:15,435 --> 01:55:15,676
And

3053
01:55:16,554 --> 01:55:17,933
I think that is so

3054
01:55:19,911 --> 01:55:20,845
unbelievable that

3055
01:55:21,203 --> 01:55:23,219
we've allowed them to get away with this

3056
01:55:23,357 --> 01:55:25,989
this type of 2 tier justice system, this

3057
01:55:25,989 --> 01:55:28,861
type of con ascension upon the people that

3058
01:55:28,861 --> 01:55:29,760
they serve

3059
01:55:30,216 --> 01:55:33,252
and all the while acting like, you know,

3060
01:55:33,966 --> 01:55:35,713
they they don't have to even give an

3061
01:55:35,713 --> 01:55:37,618
answer to us because we do this all

3062
01:55:37,618 --> 01:55:38,833
the time. I tag

3063
01:55:39,144 --> 01:55:39,783
tons of

3064
01:55:40,502 --> 01:55:42,417
politicians in social media. I send them letters.

3065
01:55:42,577 --> 01:55:44,813
We give them calls, and we write them

3066
01:55:44,813 --> 01:55:46,649
letters. And every once in a while, I'll

3067
01:55:46,649 --> 01:55:47,926
get a form letter back.

3068
01:55:48,658 --> 01:55:50,749
Thank you for your interest in

3069
01:55:51,124 --> 01:55:53,431
control issues. This is what our office believes.

3070
01:55:54,068 --> 01:55:55,341
Join me and, you know,

3071
01:55:55,994 --> 01:55:58,234
restricting your rights further. No. I won't write.

3072
01:55:58,555 --> 01:55:59,854
But they

3073
01:56:00,234 --> 01:56:01,135
they never

3074
01:56:02,395 --> 01:56:03,854
addressed me personally

3075
01:56:04,489 --> 01:56:07,140
and say, mister Lea, I appreciate you contacting

3076
01:56:07,197 --> 01:56:09,529
our office. We need to have a meeting

3077
01:56:09,587 --> 01:56:10,942
because you bring up some very good issues.

3078
01:56:11,420 --> 01:56:13,490
It's usually met with crickets.

3079
01:56:13,904 --> 01:56:15,418
The silence is deafening.

3080
01:56:16,055 --> 01:56:16,555
And

3081
01:56:17,489 --> 01:56:18,765
you know, this all came to a head

3082
01:56:18,765 --> 01:56:21,726
in my shop, I did have 2 state

3083
01:56:21,726 --> 01:56:23,316
senators come down and do a tour of

3084
01:56:23,316 --> 01:56:25,723
my shop that were generally genuinely

3085
01:56:26,177 --> 01:56:27,313
interested in

3086
01:56:27,766 --> 01:56:29,355
what the heck a gun is. They didn't

3087
01:56:29,355 --> 01:56:31,199
have any clue. And they here they are

3088
01:56:31,199 --> 01:56:33,346
they've already voted for some of the most

3089
01:56:33,346 --> 01:56:35,970
restrictive gun control in our state's history.

3090
01:56:36,527 --> 01:56:38,435
And now they wanna see what the implications

3091
01:56:38,435 --> 01:56:39,787
of that are in a gun store.

3092
01:56:40,518 --> 01:56:42,899
And when I I spent 3 hours with

3093
01:56:42,899 --> 01:56:45,199
them. And I finally said, look.

3094
01:56:46,152 --> 01:56:46,549
Here it is.

3095
01:56:47,501 --> 01:56:49,582
We can cut to the chase. Because we

3096
01:56:49,582 --> 01:56:52,693
can talk about folding stocks, c, bay it,

3097
01:56:52,853 --> 01:56:56,122
log grenade launcher flash hide, still our heads

3098
01:56:56,122 --> 01:56:58,197
fall off, and everybody's eyes in the room

3099
01:56:58,197 --> 01:57:00,923
glaze over. That isn't the issue. The issue

3100
01:57:00,923 --> 01:57:02,599
is constitutional limitations.

3101
01:57:03,317 --> 01:57:05,310
Madison wrote in Federal is 49,

3102
01:57:05,709 --> 01:57:06,608
something called

3103
01:57:07,385 --> 01:57:07,885
constitutional

3104
01:57:08,261 --> 01:57:08,421
limitations.

3105
01:57:09,154 --> 01:57:11,712
You are limited in what you're able to

3106
01:57:11,712 --> 01:57:12,212
do

3107
01:57:12,750 --> 01:57:13,070
constitutional.

3108
01:57:13,630 --> 01:57:15,568
It further says that you're the gatekeeper

3109
01:57:15,947 --> 01:57:17,725
of our right. And

3110
01:57:18,119 --> 01:57:18,619
And

3111
01:57:19,319 --> 01:57:22,279
if you could find the support in both

3112
01:57:22,279 --> 01:57:23,179
sides of the

3113
01:57:23,479 --> 01:57:25,079
congress, you know, in the senate and in

3114
01:57:25,079 --> 01:57:26,119
the house representatives,

3115
01:57:26,694 --> 01:57:28,390
to ban Catholics.

3116
01:57:29,247 --> 01:57:31,561
Could you do it? And they went... Well,

3117
01:57:31,721 --> 01:57:33,876
no. Of course not. Like, no. We couldn't

3118
01:57:33,876 --> 01:57:37,469
do that. Right, because of constitutional limitations. But

3119
01:57:37,469 --> 01:57:39,456
that's exactly what you're doing when it comes

3120
01:57:39,456 --> 01:57:42,253
to the second amendment. You're banning Catholics. Well,

3121
01:57:42,412 --> 01:57:44,242
no. And no... And then they back do

3122
01:57:44,242 --> 01:57:46,310
the back pedal. That's. Whoa, whoa whoa whoa,

3123
01:57:46,628 --> 01:57:48,299
there's no right that's absolute.

3124
01:57:48,855 --> 01:57:49,492
And I said,

3125
01:57:51,416 --> 01:57:53,243
you you know, this is your buzz word

3126
01:57:53,243 --> 01:57:54,912
to get you out of the painted corner

3127
01:57:54,912 --> 01:57:56,206
that you're in because

3128
01:57:57,057 --> 01:57:57,875
you know

3129
01:57:58,424 --> 01:57:59,322
by banning

3130
01:57:59,779 --> 01:58:01,395
guns by permitting

3131
01:58:02,090 --> 01:58:03,228
people to

3132
01:58:04,082 --> 01:58:05,516
exercise the right to keep him by our

3133
01:58:05,516 --> 01:58:08,945
arms. To put lists of guns that you

3134
01:58:08,945 --> 01:58:11,485
can and can't buy by causing delays. All

3135
01:58:11,485 --> 01:58:13,095
of this is completely

3136
01:58:13,565 --> 01:58:14,305
and utterly

3137
01:58:14,765 --> 01:58:16,065
outside of your authority

3138
01:58:16,445 --> 01:58:18,525
or outside of you you don't you don't

3139
01:58:18,525 --> 01:58:19,265
have the

3140
01:58:19,805 --> 01:58:21,885
the... You don't have the authority to do

3141
01:58:21,885 --> 01:58:24,448
it. But you sit in a place that

3142
01:58:24,448 --> 01:58:26,755
gives you power to do it. And that

3143
01:58:26,755 --> 01:58:29,061
by definition is abuse of power.

3144
01:58:29,792 --> 01:58:31,878
And that's exactly where you... Totally

3145
01:58:32,647 --> 01:58:33,782
totally tyra,

3146
01:58:34,154 --> 01:58:34,892
100

3147
01:58:35,027 --> 01:58:37,010
percent. And it... There's been a time here.

3148
01:58:37,247 --> 01:58:39,497
So... These are supposed to be our public

3149
01:58:39,497 --> 01:58:41,575
servants, but they act like in our public

3150
01:58:41,575 --> 01:58:42,055
masters.

3151
01:58:42,694 --> 01:58:45,011
And I just and I say, you know,

3152
01:58:45,171 --> 01:58:47,900
the supreme court says the peasants shall have

3153
01:58:47,900 --> 01:58:48,698
their pitch works.

3154
01:58:49,496 --> 01:58:51,750
There's a reason why I make that analogy

3155
01:58:52,287 --> 01:58:53,505
because the lawmakers

3156
01:58:53,882 --> 01:58:55,716
that are in for you guys up in,

3157
01:58:55,876 --> 01:58:57,479
you know, you know, on on the hill.

3158
01:58:57,875 --> 01:58:59,222
And here in trenton,

3159
01:59:00,253 --> 01:59:00,753
they

3160
01:59:01,283 --> 01:59:03,265
treat us like we are peasants,

3161
01:59:03,739 --> 01:59:06,532
you and it's not supposed to be like

3162
01:59:06,532 --> 01:59:08,039
that. And 1 of the things I like

3163
01:59:08,039 --> 01:59:09,650
to bring up about Massachusetts

3164
01:59:10,103 --> 01:59:10,603
historically,

3165
01:59:11,708 --> 01:59:14,980
Historically, the people in Massachusetts have this nasty

3166
01:59:15,140 --> 01:59:16,198
Nasty abbot

3167
01:59:16,816 --> 01:59:19,744
of hanging people that they don't agree with

3168
01:59:20,261 --> 01:59:23,118
Let's talk about the Witch trials. So turn

3169
01:59:23,118 --> 01:59:25,818
back the clock, and so you're going against

3170
01:59:25,818 --> 01:59:28,224
the fray, and what are we? Were modern

3171
01:59:28,359 --> 01:59:28,859
day

3172
01:59:29,328 --> 01:59:31,560
witches. And they're just telling us to get

3173
01:59:31,560 --> 01:59:33,634
on the end of the rope. Right. That's

3174
01:59:33,634 --> 01:59:36,026
what they're saying. And that's the history of

3175
01:59:36,584 --> 01:59:39,645
Massachusetts it's loaded, with hatred and

3176
01:59:40,257 --> 01:59:42,243
extermination of people who go against the fray,

3177
01:59:42,481 --> 01:59:43,990
and they don't want us to be armed,

3178
01:59:44,149 --> 01:59:45,658
then what do they do? Get to the

3179
01:59:45,658 --> 01:59:45,818
rope.

3180
01:59:46,867 --> 01:59:49,677
That's exactly right, John. And I actually

3181
01:59:50,134 --> 01:59:52,284
posted something on Twitter the other day, and

3182
01:59:52,284 --> 01:59:52,603
it was

3183
01:59:53,734 --> 01:59:55,751
it was Jim Jordan's testimony

3184
01:59:56,688 --> 01:59:59,024
or narrative basically of the whole

3185
01:59:59,721 --> 02:00:02,197
thing that happened down in Arkansas with

3186
02:00:03,488 --> 02:00:03,807
with the,

3187
02:00:04,684 --> 02:00:06,439
the airport executive down there,

3188
02:00:07,396 --> 02:00:10,847
and, you know, the Atf literally

3189
02:00:11,304 --> 02:00:12,261
lynch that guy.

3190
02:00:13,073 --> 02:00:13,573
And

3191
02:00:14,108 --> 02:00:15,779
when you look at how that went down,

3192
02:00:16,416 --> 02:00:17,849
he had no idea being

3193
02:00:18,645 --> 02:00:19,145
investigated,

3194
02:00:19,599 --> 02:00:21,350
they come up in full swat gear, put

3195
02:00:21,350 --> 02:00:23,831
the tape over the over the ring camera,

3196
02:00:24,069 --> 02:00:25,659
cut the power to the house, go in,

3197
02:00:26,136 --> 02:00:27,965
smash through and within less than a minute,

3198
02:00:28,123 --> 02:00:28,600
he's dead.

3199
02:00:29,475 --> 02:00:29,975
And

3200
02:00:30,523 --> 02:00:32,929
you know, you're exactly right. And why

3201
02:00:33,698 --> 02:00:34,755
because he was violating

3202
02:00:35,604 --> 02:00:37,374
their arbitrary rules

3203
02:00:38,319 --> 02:00:40,065
and laws that they make up.

3204
02:00:40,701 --> 02:00:43,028
And I think that was the first enforcement

3205
02:00:43,083 --> 02:00:46,204
of you're engaged in the business of

3206
02:00:46,754 --> 02:00:47,813
dealing in firearms,

3207
02:00:48,430 --> 02:00:50,825
if you take a hobby approach and you

3208
02:00:50,825 --> 02:00:52,661
make a profit on it, and you go

3209
02:00:52,661 --> 02:00:54,337
to the shows on weekend and do some

3210
02:00:54,337 --> 02:00:56,268
buying and selling and trading. Now all of

3211
02:00:56,268 --> 02:00:56,746
a sudden,

3212
02:00:57,385 --> 02:00:58,739
the swat team's is gonna show up at

3213
02:00:58,739 --> 02:01:00,734
your doorstep at 6 in the morning, and

3214
02:01:00,734 --> 02:01:01,850
you'd be dead a minute later.

3215
02:01:02,488 --> 02:01:04,640
Like... That went well. But bravo.

3216
02:01:05,295 --> 02:01:05,454
Yeah.

3217
02:01:06,335 --> 02:01:06,735
Unbelievable.

3218
02:01:07,295 --> 02:01:07,534
And

3219
02:01:08,095 --> 02:01:09,795
you know, that whole Brian M

3220
02:01:10,895 --> 02:01:13,454
situation I hope is not a harbinger of

3221
02:01:13,454 --> 02:01:14,175
things to come.

3222
02:01:14,748 --> 02:01:16,743
For the gun owner in this country because,

3223
02:01:16,903 --> 02:01:18,759
you know, you think about how they gonna

3224
02:01:18,976 --> 02:01:20,810
enforce these on unconstitutional laws.

3225
02:01:21,529 --> 02:01:24,081
And, guys like Brian Mali never saw a

3226
02:01:24,081 --> 02:01:24,320
comment.

3227
02:01:24,894 --> 02:01:28,104
And had no chance to defend himself against

3228
02:01:28,322 --> 02:01:29,359
that, you know,

3229
02:01:30,794 --> 02:01:33,027
and let's face it. The... The Atf doesn't

3230
02:01:33,027 --> 02:01:35,278
have a a great track record of stuff

3231
02:01:35,278 --> 02:01:37,754
like that, going back to Waco and not

3232
02:01:37,754 --> 02:01:39,431
in fridge and, you know, everything else?

3233
02:01:40,310 --> 02:01:43,772
Not at all. Yeah. It's it's scary, scary

3234
02:01:44,147 --> 02:01:46,636
to think that the government can be weaponized

3235
02:01:46,851 --> 02:01:47,726
against its people.

3236
02:01:48,298 --> 02:01:50,368
And all for what? I mean, look at

3237
02:01:50,368 --> 02:01:53,073
even Dexter taylor in New York. Guy who's

3238
02:01:53,073 --> 02:01:55,006
sitting in the privacy of his own home

3239
02:01:55,143 --> 02:01:55,643
taken

3240
02:01:56,670 --> 02:01:58,658
part in 1 of the oldest traditions in

3241
02:01:58,817 --> 02:01:59,215
America,

3242
02:02:00,408 --> 02:02:00,805
performing,

3243
02:02:02,396 --> 02:02:05,671
guns activities in your house. In and self

3244
02:02:05,671 --> 02:02:06,171
building

3245
02:02:06,544 --> 02:02:08,926
guns, a freedom hobby that that you can

3246
02:02:08,926 --> 02:02:10,435
do in the privacy of your own home.

3247
02:02:10,593 --> 02:02:11,944
Well government don't like that.

3248
02:02:12,594 --> 02:02:14,270
A quote. Oh, no. You know?

3249
02:02:15,547 --> 02:02:17,701
So he'll be doing it looks like 10

3250
02:02:17,701 --> 02:02:18,659
years behind jail,

3251
02:02:19,297 --> 02:02:21,310
in a federal prison. Behind bars in a

3252
02:02:21,310 --> 02:02:22,430
federal prison probably.

3253
02:02:22,829 --> 02:02:23,149
And

3254
02:02:24,110 --> 02:02:27,890
it's it's it's madden. It's absolutely madden. Arbitrary

3255
02:02:28,270 --> 02:02:29,204
laws. These are

3256
02:02:29,959 --> 02:02:31,627
what do they call them, Mall,

3257
02:02:33,057 --> 02:02:33,557
prohibitive,

3258
02:02:34,090 --> 02:02:36,791
I got Yeah. Put in the, Pro Or

3259
02:02:36,791 --> 02:02:38,697
whatever it is. I'm butchering the Latin on

3260
02:02:38,697 --> 02:02:41,670
it. But Right. As opposed to m say.

3261
02:02:41,909 --> 02:02:44,310
Right. And say. Right. Which is a law

3262
02:02:44,310 --> 02:02:46,801
that you violate that is truly evil. In

3263
02:02:46,801 --> 02:02:49,337
it's right. Yep. This is now prohibited. I

3264
02:02:49,337 --> 02:02:51,873
think is yeah. Term. Yeah. Yeah. You got

3265
02:02:51,873 --> 02:02:54,989
it. You're there. It's just it's... Because we

3266
02:02:54,989 --> 02:02:56,989
say so. You know, that's really what it

3267
02:02:56,989 --> 02:02:59,390
is. It's you're in violation of what we

3268
02:02:59,390 --> 02:03:02,030
say so, even though the second amendment says,

3269
02:03:02,444 --> 02:03:04,999
shall not be infringe. It's unbelievable. Yeah. How

3270
02:03:04,999 --> 02:03:07,873
they can can distort that into a, you

3271
02:03:07,873 --> 02:03:08,431
know, whatever.

3272
02:03:09,150 --> 02:03:10,827
Alright. I wanna leave a a couple minutes

3273
02:03:10,827 --> 02:03:11,646
here for

3274
02:03:12,435 --> 02:03:13,890
project you got coming up

3275
02:03:14,423 --> 02:03:15,321
that I

3276
02:03:15,695 --> 02:03:17,445
volunteered for and

3277
02:03:18,319 --> 02:03:20,466
have done nothing with. So let's put it

3278
02:03:20,466 --> 02:03:23,506
out there. So somebody can be accountable.

3279
02:03:24,462 --> 02:03:26,953
Real quick. So I did launch a new

3280
02:03:27,010 --> 02:03:29,559
website. It is called the square reviews, and

3281
02:03:29,559 --> 02:03:32,225
the square reviews is a product and travel

3282
02:03:32,283 --> 02:03:34,994
review site. So it's an, you know, a

3283
02:03:34,994 --> 02:03:36,292
political non sec

3284
02:03:36,828 --> 02:03:39,061
website, but don't get all, boo boo and

3285
02:03:39,061 --> 02:03:42,018
hurt. If you see h and other men

3286
02:03:42,018 --> 02:03:43,210
things that are getting reviewed.

3287
02:03:44,243 --> 02:03:47,184
So, Toby is actually gonna come on as

3288
02:03:47,184 --> 02:03:48,296
1 of my contributors,

3289
02:03:48,710 --> 02:03:50,789
Right now, I have another con... Another 2

there to square reviews dot com to learn

3293
02:03:57,363 --> 02:03:59,432
about the different gear and things that

3294
02:04:00,149 --> 02:04:01,740
that I've been testing out and I've been

3295
02:04:01,740 --> 02:04:03,015

3296
02:04:03,015 --> 02:04:06,051

I'm holding up a 20 ounce tumble that's

3301
02:04:15,345 --> 02:04:16,774

3317
02:04:50,792 --> 02:04:53,439
from you guys if you have issues in

3318
02:04:53,439 --> 02:04:55,832
your area. If you're out of Massachusetts in

3319
02:04:56,311 --> 02:04:58,568
Massachusetts, I don't care where, permitting

3320
02:04:58,945 --> 02:04:59,425
abuses.

3321
02:04:59,823 --> 02:05:01,913
If you've got a news story, And it's

3322
02:05:01,913 --> 02:05:04,466
something that's worth reporting on, I will pick

3323
02:05:04,466 --> 02:05:05,662
it up, and I will run with it.

3324
02:05:05,822 --> 02:05:08,076
So I put myself out there to everyone

3325
02:05:08,533 --> 02:05:09,889
that's listening. So at the end of the

3326
02:05:09,889 --> 02:05:11,165
day, if you got questions,

3327
02:05:11,815 --> 02:05:13,559
john at the penn dot com.

3328
02:05:14,351 --> 02:05:16,175
Awesome. Well, thanks for sharing all that, John.

3329
02:05:16,412 --> 02:05:17,997
That's great. People can stay up to date.

3330
02:05:18,235 --> 02:05:18,552
And,

3331
02:05:19,281 --> 02:05:21,265
I think 1 of the things we'll steer

3332
02:05:21,265 --> 02:05:23,091
clear on the the reviews is

3333
02:05:23,726 --> 02:05:26,266
how how well Ammo travels to turks and

3334
02:05:26,345 --> 02:05:27,640
C. Right? Well

3335
02:05:29,624 --> 02:05:32,336
It travels there fine. It's the coming back

3336
02:05:32,336 --> 02:05:34,250
that seems to be the problem, To.

3337
02:05:36,802 --> 02:05:37,360
Yeah Yeah.

3338
02:05:37,934 --> 02:05:40,731
We'll probably avoid those topics for those places,

3339
02:05:40,890 --> 02:05:43,048
but I'm looking forward to collaborate with you

3340
02:05:43,048 --> 02:05:43,768
on that. And so,

3341
02:05:44,567 --> 02:05:46,699
now that the public world knows

3342
02:05:47,059 --> 02:05:49,134
what I plan to do with you. Someone's

3343
02:05:49,134 --> 02:05:51,766
gonna hold me accountable. I promise. So including

3344
02:05:51,846 --> 02:05:54,001
I hope you, But I will I will.

02:06:17,550 --> 02:06:19,148

Thanks for having me, Tully.

Anytime.

3360
02:06:39,689 --> 02:06:41,369
Alright. Well, there you have it, folks.

3361
02:06:43,061 --> 02:06:44,757
Another solid hour in the books

3362
02:06:45,373 --> 02:06:45,873
with

3363
02:06:46,809 --> 02:06:49,202
rapid fire. Thank you for bearing with the

3364
02:06:49,202 --> 02:06:50,796
technical issues of that video,

3365
02:06:52,087 --> 02:06:53,997
I'm glad we recorded it because it was

3366
02:06:53,997 --> 02:06:56,385
way worse when I tried to record that

3367
02:06:57,260 --> 02:06:58,533
if we had done it live, it would

3368
02:06:58,533 --> 02:07:00,546
have been miserable experience. So

3369
02:07:01,814 --> 02:07:03,172
That's why it was a little quirky on

3370
02:07:03,172 --> 02:07:03,992
there, But

3371
02:07:04,612 --> 02:07:04,771
alright.

3372
02:07:05,570 --> 02:07:06,070
That's

3373
02:07:06,849 --> 02:07:07,648
rapid fire.

3374
02:07:08,528 --> 02:07:12,850
Episode number 1 80 from 07/10/2024.

3375
02:07:13,964 --> 02:07:16,350
May all have a wonderful night, God bless.

3376
02:07:17,146 --> 02:07:18,203
Keep up the fight

3377
02:07:18,513 --> 02:07:21,382
call your mass legislators and let them know

3378
02:07:21,382 --> 02:07:22,439
how you feel

3379
02:07:22,895 --> 02:07:25,627
about your rights being infringe on further

3380
02:07:26,162 --> 02:07:26,662
and

3381
02:07:27,278 --> 02:07:27,915
do your part.

3382
02:07:28,648 --> 02:07:29,127
Appreciate that.

3383
02:07:30,323 --> 02:07:32,078
We're seriously up against it. This is where

3384
02:07:32,078 --> 02:07:32,636
the fight is.

3385
02:07:34,152 --> 02:07:36,725
Our state is trying to become the model

3386
02:07:36,783 --> 02:07:38,395
state for the rest of the country. I

3387
02:07:38,395 --> 02:07:39,355
know you laughed at that,

3388
02:07:40,155 --> 02:07:41,454
Montana in

3389
02:07:41,835 --> 02:07:43,994
Florida and Texas. But I tell you 1

3390
02:07:43,994 --> 02:07:45,775
thing. Ain't gonna be happy

3391
02:07:46,170 --> 02:07:48,409
when all the hateful or the hateful 10

3392
02:07:48,409 --> 02:07:49,130
states fall.

3393
02:07:50,010 --> 02:07:52,650
They're coming for you and they're coming for

3394
02:07:52,650 --> 02:07:55,310
your guns. So let's be a wall

3395
02:07:55,782 --> 02:07:58,556
and say no, not 1 more inch and

3396
02:07:58,556 --> 02:08:00,618
let it be known that we are doing

3397
02:08:00,618 --> 02:08:02,759
it here behind enemy lines in Massachusetts.

3398
02:08:03,489 --> 02:08:05,006
God bless, I love you all.

3399
02:08:06,043 --> 02:08:06,703
Couldn't have

3400
02:08:08,439 --> 02:08:09,317
done it without you.

3401
02:08:10,675 --> 02:08:12,351
So God bless and we'll see you soon.

3402
02:08:12,511 --> 02:08:12,830
Take care.

3403
02:08:16,351 --> 02:08:18,743
Don't oh, by the way, don't forget Sunday

3404
02:08:18,743 --> 02:08:19,698
show. Here you go.
