Speaker 1 (00:00):
Chuck Douglas is the Power Hour six to ten WTV
and racism at the county commissioner level. I don't know
it's question. I'm gonna ask it. You might like and
like it, but sorry, that's what I do. Also from
the tentv dot com website, I wanted to let you
know about a couple of bills in the Ohio legislature
right now at the Ohio House regarding your your second
(00:20):
Amendment rights. And I say that it doesn't matter if
you own a gun or not. It is your constitution,
that's your country, those are your rights. A couple of
bills here, one of which sounds kind of harmless, the
other not so much. Ohio House Democrats, according to the
story here, are pushing a package of bills, they say,
and they only talk about two.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I hope there's not more that.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
They say, well, protect Ohio wan's from gun violence. During
a Tuesday news conference at the state House, several representatives
said the bills are about responsibility, accountability, and safety for all.
Here's the quote, Let's be clear, we do not seek
to outlaw guns. Rather, we want to offer common sense regulations.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Sorry with that phrase always gets.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
My attention, always common sense.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Isn't it always so common?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Why the hell aren't they already in the books, really
common sense regulations and publicize safe responsible ownership of guns,
as a quote from state Representative Meredith are Lawson Row
out of Renoldsburg, and yes, Democrat Democrats say legislation is
needed because more than seventeen and listen closely now, because
(01:25):
more than seventeen hundred Ohioans on average are killed by
guns every year. One thousand of those out of seventeen hundred,
now one thousand out of the one thousand and seven
hundred are by suicide. Another thirty five hundred are wounded.
(01:47):
I don't know how many of those wounds are attempted suicides.
They didn't mention that in the story. Wouldn't you hate
to be like, just not to be that rude, but
if you try to kill yourself with a gun, with
a gun of all things, fail fail at failing, and
the damage you could do to yourself in that failed attempt,
the rest of your life would be oh yeah, oh,
(02:08):
especially if you that's not just a statistic, that's a
public health crisis. Again, Bs, that's not health. That's got
nothing to do with public health. Stop selling garbage. That's
the quote from Representative Cecil Thomas, a Democrat out of Cincinnati.
Two of the bills in the package will give gun
owners a tax break when buying firearm safety devices. You
(02:31):
know what, I got no problem with that. I got
no we get there's why not. It's a constitutional right
to own a firearm up, but why.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Not expand it?
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Can I get a tax break on the weapon?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
On the ammunition too.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I'm just saying, if you're gonna give me a tax
break on the ancillary products, can I get a tax
break on the product that's actually constitutionally guaranteed to be
my right?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Just say it.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Under House Bill one twenty, customers would not have to
pay sales tax on gunlocks or guns safes. House Built
three twenty five, I'm sorry. Two thirty five will give
a tax credit for the full cost of handgun training
and gunlocks and safes. So I'm good with either one
of those. Two thirty five is fine with me, because
(03:18):
I tell you what, tax free on the training cost.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
That's not a bad thing at all. Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Now, State Representative Darnelle Brewer out of Cleveland says these
policies do not take away rights. They protect lives. Again,
here's where we differ. Okay, I defy you, sir, and
previously mentioned madam or or Barco Lounger, however you identify,
(03:45):
I defy you.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
To back that up. You can't. You know. Here, here's
the deal.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
The average gang bummer banger is not going up to
the retail gun store and buying a gun. That's not
how they get their weapons. They steal them from people
that's out. That's not like they're going. They're not affect
the laws only affect the law abiding people. This representative continued,
(04:23):
Hold on LP, let me get to LPD because Eric
was quoted in the story and I got to give
him a little little love on this too. LPD owner
Eric Delbert supports the safety measures. He said, you can
buy a gun for sale or a gun safe for
your home or car for about forty bucks. I don't
I wouldn't buy one of those for forty bucks. I'd
spend a little more. If you're going to do it,
do it right. I mean, he's making a point, but
(04:46):
you get something that's actually a little bit, a little
bit more tangible than a forty dollars safe. He says,
if it encourages people to purchase a safe in order
to secure the firearm.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
That's a good thing. We're all behind that.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I agree with Eric on He also said it would
cut down on gun theft. I don't know, because I've
seen some people who have the cable safe in the
car and they're just cutting the cables now to steal
the safe. They worry about opening the safe when they
get away from the scene of the current Democrats also
introduced House Bill forty five to require here we here's
the problem, to require a ten day waiting period on
(05:23):
top of the required background check for those buying a gun.
It already takes me four hours going going through the
system and running the running the check in order to
buy firearm, legally, paying taxes on it, getting a receipt,
it already takes several hours. Now you want to tend
(05:44):
day wait?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Why? Why?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
First of all, I hate to get redneck about it.
But shall not be infringed? How many ways do we
need to interpret that the right of Americans to keep
and bear arms shall not be in fringe in a
ten day waiting period. When I'm there with my money
in my hand, my ID present in the forum, filled
out waiting another ten days to appease you is infringing.
(06:11):
Here we go again with a quote, Waiting periods save lives.
That is a quote from a representative Thomas. The quote continues,
they reduce impulsive suicides, they reduce homicides. No, they don't. Again,
prove it, Prove your facts. This is the problem with
(06:36):
that side of the aisle, especially when you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
The evils of guns.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
You make crap up, remember Biden, oh man ar fifteen
bull hole in you this?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Oh you wing nut.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
They make crap up and then expect you to just
trot along. And unfortunately there are some people out there
that do.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I defy you. Every representative in this story. Prove it.
Prove your facts. Waiting periods save lives. Prove it.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
They reduce impulsive suicides. Prove it, because seriously, if somebody's
tired of living, they're gonna find a way to stop living,
whether that's taking an entire bottle of aspirin and a
mountain dew, driving their car off a bridge, cutting their
wrists until they bleed out. People who want to kill themselves,
(07:31):
who are dedicated to killing themselves, they're going to do.
We stop blaming me. And making me pay the price
for that. I'm sorry to sound harsh, but if you're
gonna come to the table with lies, I'm gonna come
back with harsh You cannot substantiate your claims that waiting
(07:58):
periods save lives. You cannot substantiate your claim that this
is going to reduce homicides. If somebody wants you dead,
they don't need to wait for a gun shop to
sell them a gun. They can go behind the abandoned
chicken joint and meet some guy at midnight who will
(08:20):
sell them one out of a paper bag. And if
they don't want to go out at midnight, they can
take their kids aluminum tee ball bat and beat the
crap out of somebody. Stop coming up with imaginary justifications
for trying to hinder my life. I am a good guy,
living by the law, playing by the rules, being a
(08:41):
decent human being, cutting my grass, planting my flowers, raising
the kids, kissing the wife, loving the dog. I don't
need any more restrictions on my constitutional rights. Stop selling
the bill of goods or sorry, am I that people
(09:02):
will believe you than I am that you are trying
to do it?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Because I expect you to try to do it. It's
what you do.
