Speaker 1 (00:00):
Colorado voters are going to get a Bowet initiative where
we can stop backdoor fees being used as taxes by
our government. In the time period that our budget in
Colorado has increased forty population has only increased less than
(00:20):
ten percent. We have high crime, crappy roads, and a
lower quality of life than we did years ago.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Indeed, it's true. Hey, I'm John Caldera. Six minutes after
Michael's gone this week, should we say I think he's
going to Brazil for the cheap plastic surgery. That's just
my guess. He's going to come back with puffy lips,
(00:54):
That's just and that that thing that looks like, you know,
you stretch your face out, your lips pop forward. Is
gonna look surprised all the time, all the time. Why
are you so surprised? You won't be able to talk
because of the botox? I feel great there. Oh, you know,
(01:15):
there's there's a certain joy in being an old guy
because we just don't care. What what was this saying?
Men age like a fine bottle of wine, Women age
like milk. There's a double standard. Men just know they're ugly,
(01:39):
and we were born ugly, we live ugly. We're not
pretty to look at. Oh there's a few pretty boys,
no doubt about that. But we're just ugly. It's a
wonderful thing, the the ease of being a guy, of
getting up in the morning, throwing on some lovey clothes
(02:01):
and going out in the day and you don't really
care who you run into because you ugly. Your mama
knows you ugly, all right? Three oh three seven to one,
three eight two five five seven to one three talk
if I understand it correctly. Later this afternoon, filling in
for Dan Kaplis is the one and only Sheriff Steve
(02:22):
Reims up in Weld County. I want to be tuning
in for that one. Steve's just a wonderfully outspoken guy
and a real friend of the Second Amendment. Matter of fact,
there's a story at Complete Colorado dot Com. If you
don't go to Complete Colorado dot com every day, you're
you're missing out news and views from around Colorado without
(02:44):
a payroll. It's really pretty awesome. No paywall anyway. That's
Complete Colorado dot Com. I'll read from it. Sherry Pife
to the piece a major gun licensing law and by
the legislature last year is causing some sheriffs heartburn. Although
(03:08):
Senate Bill twenty five zero zero three won't take effect
until next August first, two thousand and twenty six, the
sweeping changes to how col raddens can purchase certain firearms
puts the onus on local sheriffs to enforce, but no
help with funding for the new state mandates. If you
(03:32):
don't know what Senate Bill twenty five zero zero three did,
it makes the most insane gun control law perhaps in
the nation. So they know we can't outlaw certain guns,
so let's just make it ridiculous to buy. For those
(03:55):
of you who don't know much about guns, there are
auto loaded law voting guns. Semi automatic guns are called.
That's every pistol you see. They're not machine guns. You
pull the trigger once and one bullet goes out the barrel.
But you see the usual pistol that someone has, or
even an AR fifteen or lots of lots of guns.
(04:19):
I would say ninety percent of all guns sold are
semi automatic guns. Your Glock nineteen is a semi automatic gun.
While this new law puts up such ridiculous roadblocks to
purchasing a semi automatic, it's it's going to make it.
(04:42):
I wouldn't say near impossible, but only people who have
a lot of time and a lot of money will
be able to buy a gun. It does a couple
of things. First, when you want to buy your new
glock nineteen, you will have to go to your sheriff,
your county sheriff, and ask him to give you a
(05:07):
permission slip to go take a gun safety class. The
gun safety class is at least a two full day
long class, two full days after which then you can
go buy your semi automatic. Now keep this in mind
(05:31):
because this takes effect August. First, if there is a
gun you have your eye on, buy it now because
it's going to get really difficult to buy it later.
So let's look at these two steps. Step number one,
you get a permission slip. Step number two, you go
(05:53):
take this two day class. Colorado has open has concealed
carry laws, and you can get a concealed carry permit.
Your sheriff issues you that that permit. Colorado has what's
known as a shall issue law, which is if you
(06:18):
meet all the requirements, then the sheriff shall issue you
the permit. It's not may issue, it is shall issue.
You check all the boxes he has to give you
a concealed weapons permit and also limits how much he
can charge you for that permit. Switch to this new law,
(06:41):
which is not a concealed carry permit, but just to
exercise your constitutional right to own a gun, to purchase
a gun, you have to get your permission slip to
take the class. The permission slip doesn't have a limit
on what he can do charge you. We don't know
(07:03):
what a sheriff is going to charge for you to
be able to buy a gun and exercise your second
Amendment right. Secondly, there's no limit on how long he
can take to give you an answer whether or not
he's going to give you this permission slip. And thirdly,
(07:25):
it's not a shall issue permission slip. It's not if
you pass a background check then he shall issue you
a permit. No, it's he might. So you want to
buy a gun, you have to go ask your sheriff
who maybe hates you, maybe loves you, maybe doesn't want
(07:45):
any more guns in his town, and says, well, we'll
just put that one on the back burner. For how
long can he put it on the back burner as
long as he likes as long as he likes these weeks, months, years.
There's nothing in this law that says he has to
(08:08):
give you this permit ever, and he can deny it
for any reason he wants. Wow, And we don't know
what it's going to cost. There's no limit, unlike a
concealed carry permit. There's no limit on what it can cost.
This is ridiculous. And then we don't know how long
(08:30):
or how much the safety class is going to take.
By the way, the safety class does not does not
suffice for your concealed carry class. It's a two day class,
at least a two day class. So if you're a
(08:51):
working guy, if you're a poor person, and you want
to get a gun to protect yourself, protect your family,
protect your home, whatever, you now have to pay the
sheriff for a permission slip, and you have to pay
for a class, and then you have to take off
two days work or pay for two days of childcare
(09:12):
in order for you to even have the option to
go buy a gun. No state has such an onerous,
awful gun law. And it's clever. It could well hold
up to constitutional scrutiny. Why because we're not outlawing any gun,
(09:35):
but we just have this, this process you have to
go through. Who would have thought Colorado, Colorado, the West,
where the West was one, you won't be able to
buy a firearm in incredible where World County Sheriff Steve
(09:56):
Rilliams comes into this. He says, this bill, all it's
done for him is put him in the situation where
his constituents think he's helping Democrats enforce a violation of
their Second Amendment rights. Quote. They asked me all the time,
why don't I just refuse to enforce it, said Steve
(10:20):
Reams Now. Steve Reriams has previously refused to enforce gun
laws and acted during his time as sheriff. Hmm, he said,
because not enforcing it will make it harder on his constituents,
not easier. If I ignore this, he says, and don't
(10:44):
issue these permits, I'm creating a bigger barrier for them
to exercise their constitutional right to buy a gun. I'm
just trying to get out of the way. It is unconstitutional,
but until someone sues, I can at least not be
the roadblock. Sheriffs are squarely in the middle of a
(11:05):
gun conflict. We didn't ask to be in. Wow. Wow,
so Reems is referring to the new requirements added to
purchase any semi automatic that accepts a detachable magazine, which
(11:27):
is nearly all commonly owned handguns and rifles. Hopeful buyers
must first get finger printed, prove their eligibility to own
a gun, then take a proof of that to the
local sheriff, who then gives them a card that approves
(11:50):
them to take a space a special class by a
certified instructor, the details of which are not yet in place.
Once the applicant passes that test, they will be put
into a state wide database for five years, which gun
dealers will then need to access to confirm the person
(12:13):
is legally able to purchase the firearm. This is crazy,
This is absolutely looney beans. So he's he's got to
do all this. I wish you wouldn't. I wish he wouldn't.
(12:40):
I wish you would just say no, sorry, uh, I'm
not issuing any of these. Then we could sue him
and hopefully force force this issue to the Supreme Court.
I still don't know if it is constitutional or not.
(13:01):
Personally I think absolutely not. But what do I know?
What do I know? What the courts will do? And
by the way this Supreme Court has upheld such ridiculous schemes.
Here's what he says. Weld County has twenty seven thousand
(13:22):
concealed carry permit holders. That keeps my front office staff
busy enough as it is. My guess is there will
be four to five times as many people who will
want to exercise their right to take a class to
go buy a gun. There's going to be a cost
increase to do business. I don't want to be the
(13:46):
barrier for someone to go buy a gun, he says. Wow.
Summit County Sheriff Fitzsimmons said this new bill quote imposes
unfunded mandates that require significant time, personnel, and financial resources
(14:08):
to implement. The Maffat County sheriff described his office as
one with a lean staff and a budget focus on
core public safety services, including patrol, detention, and emergency response.
In other words, these small counties don't have the resources
(14:29):
to do all this stuff. Hmm, let me read this part.
I find this interesting. Although a majority of the sheriffs
have come out against the law, James said he has
no doubts there are some who welcome the new state
(14:50):
mandates and the authority over gun owners that comes along
with them. I see certain sheriffs enjoy being the gatekeeper
on this, he said. Jefferson County Sheriff Reggie Marinelli, for example,
was indifferent on the law. She said, quote, we have
(15:14):
seen some increases in the workload, but not substantial. Said
they're Director of Public Affairs. We're monitoring it, and if
it becomes necessary to add personnel to meet the demand,
we will act accordingly. You understand this is going to cost.
(15:40):
They're going to have to hire people or take people
off of enforcing real crimes. Does that make sense to you.
These things don't come for free. They don't come for free.
(16:01):
So either either our county sheriffs will have fewer deputies
enforcing the law, or they're going to have to raise
taxes somehow to get more money. And the way they're
going to do that is charge a huge fee. Remember
fees for buying a gun. So you're going to have
to now pay your sheriff to get your permission slip.
(16:26):
You're going to then have to pay for the fingerprinting.
You're going to have to pay for the new class.
All of this affects poor people. I've said it once,
I'll say it a million times. The left hates the poor,
the left despises the poor. Keep in mind that we've
(16:46):
already put in what six percent sales tax increase on
every gun and every bit of ammunition and supplies you
need to buy the user gun. So we have now
made gun ownership unaffordable for poor people in Colorado. Don't
(17:09):
tell me that our progressive legislature didn't know this when
they did it. Don't think that they did not understand
that this means that the people they claim they represent
will be denied a gun because they can't afford it,
or they're going to have to choose between buying new
(17:29):
shoes or buying that gun, or now that there's taxes
on ammunition, becoming proficient with that gun by going out
and shooting it and learning how it works. This doesn't
make our world safer, It makes a world more dangerous.
(17:55):
So Riem said that although sheriffs did not ask to
be part of this, the state through them in the
middle of it any anyway. Most notably, the fingerprinting portion
is of great concern the way with the bill was written.
He says, residents can obtain their background check through any
private facility doesn't have to be performed at the sheriff's office.
(18:17):
And there's no time restriction on how recent the background
check must be. What a pain? What a pain? Welcome
to the new Colorado. Only people with a lot of
money and a lot of time can own guns. Are
these sheriffs all elected to their office? So here I am.
(18:48):
Give me a call. Three h three seven to one
three eight two five five seven to one three talk.
Let's just put it actually, let me do this one.
I love the Trump derangement. I love the Trump derangement.
Here's this one, the Irish Star. Whatever happened to the
(19:13):
Drudge Report? Do you remember? I believe it was sold
for those of us who still pop over to the
Drudge Report every now and then, it's it's amazing. It
is nothing but a Trump scandal sheet. It is nothing
but a Trump panic attack. How about this one? They
(19:37):
go to a website called the Irish Star. I have
no idea what the Irish Star is. Trump's attempt to
dismiss health concerns seriously backfires as new theories grow. Really,
I don't know if you've heard in the news He's
(19:57):
got a major of an today. What will the major
announcement be? Who knows it's Trump, and it'll be something
that freaks out people. It'll be wonderful. Trump's attempt to
dismiss dismiss health concerns. Whispers of the president's health woes
(20:19):
continue to grow online, with his all caps rebuttal on
truth social only adding fuel to the fire. Hmmm, As
rumors about the president's declining health go into overdrive, really
this is news to me. President Trump has responded to
(20:42):
the claims online in his signature all caps style, which
only seems to have inflamed the rumors further. Oh, this
is delicious, Just delicious. The speculation of his health has
grown significantly since last week, after Trump wasn't so for
several days. Leaving many. By the way, that's one of
(21:06):
the greatest terms journalists use, some say leaving many wondering,
experts predict All right, those type of lines are our
key signs that this is not a news article. This
(21:27):
is either a scare piece or an editorial. Whenever you
see any anybody saying in an article some say, experts predict,
many are concerned about many, all you need to do
is get two people to say, we're concerned. Are you
(21:48):
wondering if he's if something's happened to him. Yeah, I
guess I am great now I can report, leaving many
wondering where he was and if something had happened to him.
And a post on Truth Central or Truth Social, the
president wrote, in all caps, never felt better in my
life in response to another user's message about the former
(22:11):
president's Joe Biden's health. In the same post, he also
claimed DC is a crime free zone. It comes after
a doctor issued a chilling amputation warning that Trump's leg
may need to be cut off. Is this spectacular? Is
(22:40):
this spectacular? A doctor issuing amputation warning for Trump? H ah?
Another person on x who was not swayed by Trump's message, replied,
all right, so this is now a news What idiots
(23:01):
write on X is is newsworthy? If Trump's never felt better,
why is he dodging questions about his swollen legs and
bruce hands while falsely claiming DC's a crime free utopia?
(23:24):
Isn't it? Isn't it wild? Isn't it spectdacular? All right?
Let me let me click through on this one, because this, this,
this should be good. By the way, I've never heard
of this great news outlet called the Irish Star Doctor's Issues,
(23:50):
Doctor issues chilling amputation warning over condition Donald Trump suffers from.
By the way, no, no editor would end a headline
in a preposition. But let's keep going. The chronic venous
(24:12):
venous insignificancy is a common condition. If left untreated, it
can lead to surgery or amputation. As an expert in
vascular surgery at one of the top medical schools in
the United States recently answered a handful of questions about
(24:32):
chronic venous insufficiency cv I diagnose given to the President
Donald Trump, which came after images were circulated of his
severely swollen ankles. Okay this guy says, says explained that
(24:58):
the symptoms and risks associated with the condition shortly after
the diagnosis was made public. So now he's going to
have to He's going to have to get an amputation.
Veins are what brings blood flow up from the feet
and hands towards a heart. When they don't work well,
(25:21):
blood gets stuck. It can cause pain, swelling, throbbing, aching,
and in most extreme cases, wounds, wounds or limb loss.
How worried are we that the Donald is going to
have to going to have to get his leg cut off?
(25:44):
So I love this picture. They put a picture in
the in the story of a of a foot in
a size shoe and with a swollen ankle, and you're
left to believe this is a picture of Trump's foot.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
It is not Trump's foot. We don't know whose foot
it is. It just says image AP is that Trump's foot?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Don't you get tired of this? This is why I
find it so entertaining, so very entertaining, to have Donald
Trump as president, because of the panic that comes afterwards.
The Trump derangement is enjoyable, it is delicious, It's great.
(26:43):
I mean to grab a couple of these texts. John,
can you please clarify the upcoming law wouldn't include a
glock nineteen. I thought it had to be a semi
automatic with a detachable magazine with a gas assist, which
isn't on a lot of common semi automatic handguns, says Cindy. Wow.
(27:03):
The problem is under the new law, which requires you
to go through a background check, get a permission slip
from your sheriff, go take a two day class, is
we don't know what a gas assist is. The way
the law was written, it really covers all semi automatics.
(27:28):
I know you're thinking about things like AR fifteen or
an AK or others that have a I think if
there's a desert eagle pistol that has a gas assist,
what it is is a gas has to go through
the barrel before it can unlock the blowback mechanism. Now,
that's not what this that's not what this says. This
(27:51):
looks like any semi automatic because as defined in the bill,
the blowback from from the ammunition being fired is the
gas assist. So those of you who don't know how
a semi automatic works, firing pin hits the back of
(28:12):
a bullet, the bullet fires, it pushes the bullet out
the barrel, but with the same force, the gas that
is released pushes the slide back, ejecting the old shell,
and then when the slide comes forward, it puts in
the new shell. That's what the that's what a gas
(28:36):
assist is going to be declared. How about this one, John.
If you buy a gun from your friend and you
use it, I don't know, in a drive by shooting
or just go out and shoot up some gang members
or something like that, you get arrested and you have
a gun you didn't get a permission slip from a
(29:00):
sheriff to buy I want to know what the legislature
passed in that law as punishment for people who don't
get their permission slips from a sheriff to buy a gun.
Right now, the law in Colorado, as I understand it, is,
you can lend your gun to someone for up to
(29:23):
three days. If it's more than three days, they need
to go through a background check. Under this new law,
if you lend out your semi automatic for more than
three days, the way I read it is that person
(29:43):
is going to have to get the permission slip and
then take the class, which is a two day class. Huh.
I don't know what it means. I honestly don't know
what this new new law is going to require. If
you want to lend your semi automatic gun to a friend, Hey,
(30:10):
can I shoot your gun? Yeah? Here, borrow it. You
can do that for up the three days I'm going hunting.
Can I borrow your rifle? Yes? Here it is for
three days. If you get stuck up in the woods
and you can't return it within three days, I guess
we've both broken the law. Or if you really want
(30:31):
to be crazy. You could say here's the gun. You
can borrow it for three days, and at three days
you have to come back hand it to me. I
then turn back and say here, you can have it
for another three days and all if you have it
for another we could do that for eternity. That's how
(30:52):
crazy these laws are. Colorado is an anti gun paradise.
I don't understand how that happened. This is the West.
The gun culture was part of Colorado's character. Then the
Progressives took over. Michael Bloomberg helped elect people to do
(31:18):
these things, and they're much smarter than they were decades ago.
Decades ago they would pass something like an assault weapon ban,
but of course you can't define an assault weapon. There's
no real definition other than cosmetic. So now they've come
up with red flag laws and schemes of education classes
(31:45):
you need to take before you can get a gun,
and making it so difficult you won't bother getting a gun.
They've really advanced their tactics. The anti gun left knows
what they're doing. Again. If you want to get your gun,
you have until next August first to do it without
(32:07):
going through this ridiculous, unknown hassle. Three oh three seven,
one three, eight two five five. I'm John Calderic. Keep
it right here on six point thirty.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
K How you said the firing pins strike the back
of the bullet. No, it strikes the back of the cartridge.
Come on, I know you know this.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah, you got me. Gun nuts. Gun nuts are so persnicty.
You're right. I hate it when people call it a
bullet when what they mean is the cartridge or the round.
I hate it when they call a magazine a clip.
(32:50):
And technically the firing pin hits the primer, and the
primer then ignites the gunpowder, and then the gunpowder causes
a chemical reaction. Expanding gases push the bullet out the barrel,
but also push the casing backwards. Because of that whole
(33:12):
you know, equal actions. For every action, there is an
equal and opposite reaction. Bullet goes out one way, and
the brass goes pushing back the other way. That pushes
out the ejects the old casing, and when the slide
comes far firing back, it slides in a new round. Yes,
(33:36):
therefore it is a gas operated device. There's there's a
cool thing in one of the reasons Ar's and others
gas operated semi automatics are so cool is that there's
a small delay that happens. So the gas expands, goes
(33:58):
down the barrel, but instead of pushing the slide back,
there's a delay because the barrel won't or the slide
won't go back until after the bullet has left the barrel.
There's a little hole down the barrel. It pushes some
gas down and it helps open up the locking mechanism
(34:20):
to let the slide go. Anybody who's still following this,
you get an extra dime from my reading. From my
reading of this new build. It applies to every semi
automatic weapon. We don't really know because, like so many
(34:41):
other things, the rules haven't been made. That's how crazy
it is, even if it even if it means that
in order to buy a gas operated gun like an
AR fifteen or an AK or something like that, or
an old M one grand, by the way, you're gonna
(35:02):
have to go through all this trouble. They are so good.
Our enemies against the Second Amendment do not underestimate their strategy,
their tactics, and most importantly, their patients. The most important
thing you can do to fight for the Second Amendment
(35:24):
is to Bring a friend who doesn't own a gun
to become a gun owner. Take them out shooting, Teach
them how it works. I'm John KELDERA check out Independence
Institute to go to thinkfreedom dot org.
Colorado voters are going to get a Bowet initiative where
we can stop backdoor fees being used as taxes by
our government. In the time period that our budget in
Colorado has increased forty population has only increased less than
(00:20):
ten percent. We have high crime, crappy roads, and a
lower quality of life than we did years ago.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Indeed, it's true. Hey, I'm John Caldera. Six minutes after
Michael's gone this week, should we say I think he's
going to Brazil for the cheap plastic surgery. That's just
my guess. He's going to come back with puffy lips,
(00:54):
That's just and that that thing that looks like, you know,
you stretch your face out, your lips pop forward. Is
gonna look surprised all the time, all the time. Why
are you so surprised? You won't be able to talk
because of the botox? I feel great there. Oh, you know,
(01:15):
there's there's a certain joy in being an old guy
because we just don't care. What what was this saying?
Men age like a fine bottle of wine, Women age
like milk. There's a double standard. Men just know they're ugly,
(01:39):
and we were born ugly, we live ugly. We're not
pretty to look at. Oh there's a few pretty boys,
no doubt about that. But we're just ugly. It's a
wonderful thing, the the ease of being a guy, of
getting up in the morning, throwing on some lovey clothes
(02:01):
and going out in the day and you don't really
care who you run into because you ugly. Your mama
knows you ugly, all right? Three oh three seven to one,
three eight two five five seven to one three talk
if I understand it correctly. Later this afternoon, filling in
for Dan Kaplis is the one and only Sheriff Steve
(02:22):
Reims up in Weld County. I want to be tuning
in for that one. Steve's just a wonderfully outspoken guy
and a real friend of the Second Amendment. Matter of fact,
there's a story at Complete Colorado dot Com. If you
don't go to Complete Colorado dot com every day, you're
you're missing out news and views from around Colorado without
(02:44):
a payroll. It's really pretty awesome. No paywall anyway. That's
Complete Colorado dot Com. I'll read from it. Sherry Pife
to the piece a major gun licensing law and by
the legislature last year is causing some sheriffs heartburn. Although
(03:08):
Senate Bill twenty five zero zero three won't take effect
until next August first, two thousand and twenty six, the
sweeping changes to how col raddens can purchase certain firearms
puts the onus on local sheriffs to enforce, but no
help with funding for the new state mandates. If you
(03:32):
don't know what Senate Bill twenty five zero zero three did,
it makes the most insane gun control law perhaps in
the nation. So they know we can't outlaw certain guns,
so let's just make it ridiculous to buy. For those
(03:55):
of you who don't know much about guns, there are
auto loaded law voting guns. Semi automatic guns are called.
That's every pistol you see. They're not machine guns. You
pull the trigger once and one bullet goes out the barrel.
But you see the usual pistol that someone has, or
even an AR fifteen or lots of lots of guns.
(04:19):
I would say ninety percent of all guns sold are
semi automatic guns. Your Glock nineteen is a semi automatic gun.
While this new law puts up such ridiculous roadblocks to
purchasing a semi automatic, it's it's going to make it.
(04:42):
I wouldn't say near impossible, but only people who have
a lot of time and a lot of money will
be able to buy a gun. It does a couple
of things. First, when you want to buy your new
glock nineteen, you will have to go to your sheriff,
your county sheriff, and ask him to give you a
(05:07):
permission slip to go take a gun safety class. The
gun safety class is at least a two full day
long class, two full days after which then you can
go buy your semi automatic. Now keep this in mind
(05:31):
because this takes effect August. First, if there is a
gun you have your eye on, buy it now because
it's going to get really difficult to buy it later.
So let's look at these two steps. Step number one,
you get a permission slip. Step number two, you go
(05:53):
take this two day class. Colorado has open has concealed
carry laws, and you can get a concealed carry permit.
Your sheriff issues you that that permit. Colorado has what's
known as a shall issue law, which is if you
(06:18):
meet all the requirements, then the sheriff shall issue you
the permit. It's not may issue, it is shall issue.
You check all the boxes he has to give you
a concealed weapons permit and also limits how much he
can charge you for that permit. Switch to this new law,
(06:41):
which is not a concealed carry permit, but just to
exercise your constitutional right to own a gun, to purchase
a gun, you have to get your permission slip to
take the class. The permission slip doesn't have a limit
on what he can do charge you. We don't know
(07:03):
what a sheriff is going to charge for you to
be able to buy a gun and exercise your second
Amendment right. Secondly, there's no limit on how long he
can take to give you an answer whether or not
he's going to give you this permission slip. And thirdly,
(07:25):
it's not a shall issue permission slip. It's not if
you pass a background check then he shall issue you
a permit. No, it's he might. So you want to
buy a gun, you have to go ask your sheriff
who maybe hates you, maybe loves you, maybe doesn't want
(07:45):
any more guns in his town, and says, well, we'll
just put that one on the back burner. For how
long can he put it on the back burner as
long as he likes as long as he likes these weeks, months, years.
There's nothing in this law that says he has to
(08:08):
give you this permit ever, and he can deny it
for any reason he wants. Wow, And we don't know
what it's going to cost. There's no limit, unlike a
concealed carry permit. There's no limit on what it can cost.
This is ridiculous. And then we don't know how long
(08:30):
or how much the safety class is going to take.
By the way, the safety class does not does not
suffice for your concealed carry class. It's a two day class,
at least a two day class. So if you're a
(08:51):
working guy, if you're a poor person, and you want
to get a gun to protect yourself, protect your family,
protect your home, whatever, you now have to pay the
sheriff for a permission slip, and you have to pay
for a class, and then you have to take off
two days work or pay for two days of childcare
(09:12):
in order for you to even have the option to
go buy a gun. No state has such an onerous,
awful gun law. And it's clever. It could well hold
up to constitutional scrutiny. Why because we're not outlawing any gun,
(09:35):
but we just have this, this process you have to
go through. Who would have thought Colorado, Colorado, the West,
where the West was one, you won't be able to
buy a firearm in incredible where World County Sheriff Steve
(09:56):
Rilliams comes into this. He says, this bill, all it's
done for him is put him in the situation where
his constituents think he's helping Democrats enforce a violation of
their Second Amendment rights. Quote. They asked me all the time,
why don't I just refuse to enforce it, said Steve
(10:20):
Reams Now. Steve Reriams has previously refused to enforce gun
laws and acted during his time as sheriff. Hmm, he said,
because not enforcing it will make it harder on his constituents,
not easier. If I ignore this, he says, and don't
(10:44):
issue these permits, I'm creating a bigger barrier for them
to exercise their constitutional right to buy a gun. I'm
just trying to get out of the way. It is unconstitutional,
but until someone sues, I can at least not be
the roadblock. Sheriffs are squarely in the middle of a
(11:05):
gun conflict. We didn't ask to be in. Wow. Wow,
so Reems is referring to the new requirements added to
purchase any semi automatic that accepts a detachable magazine, which
(11:27):
is nearly all commonly owned handguns and rifles. Hopeful buyers
must first get finger printed, prove their eligibility to own
a gun, then take a proof of that to the
local sheriff, who then gives them a card that approves
(11:50):
them to take a space a special class by a
certified instructor, the details of which are not yet in place.
Once the applicant passes that test, they will be put
into a state wide database for five years, which gun
dealers will then need to access to confirm the person
(12:13):
is legally able to purchase the firearm. This is crazy,
This is absolutely looney beans. So he's he's got to
do all this. I wish you wouldn't. I wish he wouldn't.
(12:40):
I wish you would just say no, sorry, uh, I'm
not issuing any of these. Then we could sue him
and hopefully force force this issue to the Supreme Court.
I still don't know if it is constitutional or not.
(13:01):
Personally I think absolutely not. But what do I know?
What do I know? What the courts will do? And
by the way this Supreme Court has upheld such ridiculous schemes.
Here's what he says. Weld County has twenty seven thousand
(13:22):
concealed carry permit holders. That keeps my front office staff
busy enough as it is. My guess is there will
be four to five times as many people who will
want to exercise their right to take a class to
go buy a gun. There's going to be a cost
increase to do business. I don't want to be the
(13:46):
barrier for someone to go buy a gun, he says. Wow.
Summit County Sheriff Fitzsimmons said this new bill quote imposes
unfunded mandates that require significant time, personnel, and financial resources
(14:08):
to implement. The Maffat County sheriff described his office as
one with a lean staff and a budget focus on
core public safety services, including patrol, detention, and emergency response.
In other words, these small counties don't have the resources
(14:29):
to do all this stuff. Hmm, let me read this part.
I find this interesting. Although a majority of the sheriffs
have come out against the law, James said he has
no doubts there are some who welcome the new state
(14:50):
mandates and the authority over gun owners that comes along
with them. I see certain sheriffs enjoy being the gatekeeper
on this, he said. Jefferson County Sheriff Reggie Marinelli, for example,
was indifferent on the law. She said, quote, we have
(15:14):
seen some increases in the workload, but not substantial. Said
they're Director of Public Affairs. We're monitoring it, and if
it becomes necessary to add personnel to meet the demand,
we will act accordingly. You understand this is going to cost.
(15:40):
They're going to have to hire people or take people
off of enforcing real crimes. Does that make sense to you.
These things don't come for free. They don't come for free.
(16:01):
So either either our county sheriffs will have fewer deputies
enforcing the law, or they're going to have to raise
taxes somehow to get more money. And the way they're
going to do that is charge a huge fee. Remember
fees for buying a gun. So you're going to have
to now pay your sheriff to get your permission slip.
(16:26):
You're going to then have to pay for the fingerprinting.
You're going to have to pay for the new class.
All of this affects poor people. I've said it once,
I'll say it a million times. The left hates the poor,
the left despises the poor. Keep in mind that we've
(16:46):
already put in what six percent sales tax increase on
every gun and every bit of ammunition and supplies you
need to buy the user gun. So we have now
made gun ownership unaffordable for poor people in Colorado. Don't
(17:09):
tell me that our progressive legislature didn't know this when
they did it. Don't think that they did not understand
that this means that the people they claim they represent
will be denied a gun because they can't afford it,
or they're going to have to choose between buying new
(17:29):
shoes or buying that gun, or now that there's taxes
on ammunition, becoming proficient with that gun by going out
and shooting it and learning how it works. This doesn't
make our world safer, It makes a world more dangerous.
(17:55):
So Riem said that although sheriffs did not ask to
be part of this, the state through them in the
middle of it any anyway. Most notably, the fingerprinting portion
is of great concern the way with the bill was written.
He says, residents can obtain their background check through any
private facility doesn't have to be performed at the sheriff's office.
(18:17):
And there's no time restriction on how recent the background
check must be. What a pain? What a pain? Welcome
to the new Colorado. Only people with a lot of
money and a lot of time can own guns. Are
these sheriffs all elected to their office? So here I am.
(18:48):
Give me a call. Three h three seven to one
three eight two five five seven to one three talk.
Let's just put it actually, let me do this one.
I love the Trump derangement. I love the Trump derangement.
Here's this one, the Irish Star. Whatever happened to the
(19:13):
Drudge Report? Do you remember? I believe it was sold
for those of us who still pop over to the
Drudge Report every now and then, it's it's amazing. It
is nothing but a Trump scandal sheet. It is nothing
but a Trump panic attack. How about this one? They
(19:37):
go to a website called the Irish Star. I have
no idea what the Irish Star is. Trump's attempt to
dismiss health concerns seriously backfires as new theories grow. Really,
I don't know if you've heard in the news He's
(19:57):
got a major of an today. What will the major
announcement be? Who knows it's Trump, and it'll be something
that freaks out people. It'll be wonderful. Trump's attempt to
dismiss dismiss health concerns. Whispers of the president's health woes
(20:19):
continue to grow online, with his all caps rebuttal on
truth social only adding fuel to the fire. Hmmm, As
rumors about the president's declining health go into overdrive, really
this is news to me. President Trump has responded to
(20:42):
the claims online in his signature all caps style, which
only seems to have inflamed the rumors further. Oh, this
is delicious, Just delicious. The speculation of his health has
grown significantly since last week, after Trump wasn't so for
several days. Leaving many. By the way, that's one of
(21:06):
the greatest terms journalists use, some say leaving many wondering,
experts predict All right, those type of lines are our
key signs that this is not a news article. This
(21:27):
is either a scare piece or an editorial. Whenever you
see any anybody saying in an article some say, experts predict,
many are concerned about many, all you need to do
is get two people to say, we're concerned. Are you
(21:48):
wondering if he's if something's happened to him. Yeah, I
guess I am great now I can report, leaving many
wondering where he was and if something had happened to him.
And a post on Truth Central or Truth Social, the
president wrote, in all caps, never felt better in my
life in response to another user's message about the former
(22:11):
president's Joe Biden's health. In the same post, he also
claimed DC is a crime free zone. It comes after
a doctor issued a chilling amputation warning that Trump's leg
may need to be cut off. Is this spectacular? Is
(22:40):
this spectacular? A doctor issuing amputation warning for Trump? H ah?
Another person on x who was not swayed by Trump's message, replied,
all right, so this is now a news What idiots
(23:01):
write on X is is newsworthy? If Trump's never felt better,
why is he dodging questions about his swollen legs and
bruce hands while falsely claiming DC's a crime free utopia?
(23:24):
Isn't it? Isn't it wild? Isn't it spectdacular? All right?
Let me let me click through on this one, because this, this,
this should be good. By the way, I've never heard
of this great news outlet called the Irish Star Doctor's Issues,
(23:50):
Doctor issues chilling amputation warning over condition Donald Trump suffers from.
By the way, no, no editor would end a headline
in a preposition. But let's keep going. The chronic venous
(24:12):
venous insignificancy is a common condition. If left untreated, it
can lead to surgery or amputation. As an expert in
vascular surgery at one of the top medical schools in
the United States recently answered a handful of questions about
(24:32):
chronic venous insufficiency cv I diagnose given to the President
Donald Trump, which came after images were circulated of his
severely swollen ankles. Okay this guy says, says explained that
(24:58):
the symptoms and risks associated with the condition shortly after
the diagnosis was made public. So now he's going to
have to He's going to have to get an amputation.
Veins are what brings blood flow up from the feet
and hands towards a heart. When they don't work well,
(25:21):
blood gets stuck. It can cause pain, swelling, throbbing, aching,
and in most extreme cases, wounds, wounds or limb loss.
How worried are we that the Donald is going to
have to going to have to get his leg cut off?
(25:44):
So I love this picture. They put a picture in
the in the story of a of a foot in
a size shoe and with a swollen ankle, and you're
left to believe this is a picture of Trump's foot.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
It is not Trump's foot. We don't know whose foot
it is. It just says image AP is that Trump's foot?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Don't you get tired of this? This is why I
find it so entertaining, so very entertaining, to have Donald
Trump as president, because of the panic that comes afterwards.
The Trump derangement is enjoyable, it is delicious, It's great.
(26:43):
I mean to grab a couple of these texts. John,
can you please clarify the upcoming law wouldn't include a
glock nineteen. I thought it had to be a semi
automatic with a detachable magazine with a gas assist, which
isn't on a lot of common semi automatic handguns, says Cindy. Wow.
(27:03):
The problem is under the new law, which requires you
to go through a background check, get a permission slip
from your sheriff, go take a two day class, is
we don't know what a gas assist is. The way
the law was written, it really covers all semi automatics.
(27:28):
I know you're thinking about things like AR fifteen or
an AK or others that have a I think if
there's a desert eagle pistol that has a gas assist,
what it is is a gas has to go through
the barrel before it can unlock the blowback mechanism. Now,
that's not what this that's not what this says. This
(27:51):
looks like any semi automatic because as defined in the bill,
the blowback from from the ammunition being fired is the
gas assist. So those of you who don't know how
a semi automatic works, firing pin hits the back of
(28:12):
a bullet, the bullet fires, it pushes the bullet out
the barrel, but with the same force, the gas that
is released pushes the slide back, ejecting the old shell,
and then when the slide comes forward, it puts in
the new shell. That's what the that's what a gas
(28:36):
assist is going to be declared. How about this one, John.
If you buy a gun from your friend and you
use it, I don't know, in a drive by shooting
or just go out and shoot up some gang members
or something like that, you get arrested and you have
a gun you didn't get a permission slip from a
(29:00):
sheriff to buy I want to know what the legislature
passed in that law as punishment for people who don't
get their permission slips from a sheriff to buy a gun.
Right now, the law in Colorado, as I understand it, is,
you can lend your gun to someone for up to
(29:23):
three days. If it's more than three days, they need
to go through a background check. Under this new law,
if you lend out your semi automatic for more than
three days, the way I read it is that person
(29:43):
is going to have to get the permission slip and
then take the class, which is a two day class. Huh.
I don't know what it means. I honestly don't know
what this new new law is going to require. If
you want to lend your semi automatic gun to a friend, Hey,
(30:10):
can I shoot your gun? Yeah? Here, borrow it. You
can do that for up the three days I'm going hunting.
Can I borrow your rifle? Yes? Here it is for
three days. If you get stuck up in the woods
and you can't return it within three days, I guess
we've both broken the law. Or if you really want
(30:31):
to be crazy. You could say here's the gun. You
can borrow it for three days, and at three days
you have to come back hand it to me. I
then turn back and say here, you can have it
for another three days and all if you have it
for another we could do that for eternity. That's how
(30:52):
crazy these laws are. Colorado is an anti gun paradise.
I don't understand how that happened. This is the West.
The gun culture was part of Colorado's character. Then the
Progressives took over. Michael Bloomberg helped elect people to do
(31:18):
these things, and they're much smarter than they were decades ago.
Decades ago they would pass something like an assault weapon ban,
but of course you can't define an assault weapon. There's
no real definition other than cosmetic. So now they've come
up with red flag laws and schemes of education classes
(31:45):
you need to take before you can get a gun,
and making it so difficult you won't bother getting a gun.
They've really advanced their tactics. The anti gun left knows
what they're doing. Again. If you want to get your gun,
you have until next August first to do it without
(32:07):
going through this ridiculous, unknown hassle. Three oh three seven,
one three, eight two five five. I'm John Calderic. Keep
it right here on six point thirty.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
K How you said the firing pins strike the back
of the bullet. No, it strikes the back of the cartridge.
Come on, I know you know this.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah, you got me. Gun nuts. Gun nuts are so persnicty.
You're right. I hate it when people call it a
bullet when what they mean is the cartridge or the round.
I hate it when they call a magazine a clip.
(32:50):
And technically the firing pin hits the primer, and the
primer then ignites the gunpowder, and then the gunpowder causes
a chemical reaction. Expanding gases push the bullet out the barrel,
but also push the casing backwards. Because of that whole
(33:12):
you know, equal actions. For every action, there is an
equal and opposite reaction. Bullet goes out one way, and
the brass goes pushing back the other way. That pushes
out the ejects the old casing, and when the slide
comes far firing back, it slides in a new round. Yes,
(33:36):
therefore it is a gas operated device. There's there's a
cool thing in one of the reasons Ar's and others
gas operated semi automatics are so cool is that there's
a small delay that happens. So the gas expands, goes
(33:58):
down the barrel, but instead of pushing the slide back,
there's a delay because the barrel won't or the slide
won't go back until after the bullet has left the barrel.
There's a little hole down the barrel. It pushes some
gas down and it helps open up the locking mechanism
(34:20):
to let the slide go. Anybody who's still following this,
you get an extra dime from my reading. From my
reading of this new build. It applies to every semi
automatic weapon. We don't really know because, like so many
(34:41):
other things, the rules haven't been made. That's how crazy
it is, even if it even if it means that
in order to buy a gas operated gun like an
AR fifteen or an AK or something like that, or
an old M one grand, by the way, you're gonna
(35:02):
have to go through all this trouble. They are so good.
Our enemies against the Second Amendment do not underestimate their strategy,
their tactics, and most importantly, their patients. The most important
thing you can do to fight for the Second Amendment
(35:24):
is to Bring a friend who doesn't own a gun
to become a gun owner. Take them out shooting, Teach
them how it works. I'm John KELDERA check out Independence
