Speaker 1 (00:03):
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of
a free state, the right of the people to keep
in their arms shall not be infringed. This is the
Second Amendment, and this is the gun.

Guy Boom boom boom boom bang bang bang bang boom boom, boom,
boom bang.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Bang boom, Guy Ralford on ninety three WYBC.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
And welcome back for our number two of the Gun
Guys Show here on ninety three WYBC. Whether you're listening
over the air at ninety three point one ninety three
point one here in Central Indiana or listening at WIBC
dot com, I understand the internet feed is rolling along
just fine, and you can also watch and participate in

(00:55):
the chat feature on YouTube. Just go to YouTube search
for ninety three WYB see and you'll see us rolling
along there with video from our brand new studios here
on Saint Joseph Street, near north side of Indianapolis. Like
I mentioned, I'm misbeing on the circle just a little bit.
It's fun to walk around, whether I wanted to grab

(01:17):
something to eat or have a beer or a cigar afterward.
It was kind of nice just to be able to
walk anywhere I wanted to there just off the circle.
But hey, there are trade offs and everything that furnitures are.
Furniture is nicer, the computers are nicer, the microphones are nicer.
That certainly the setup for video is much nicer. Oh

(01:38):
and I can producer Gavin. The restrooms are a hell
of a lot nicer. There was a big improvement there.
Gamer Nigel used to complain about the restrooms there on
the fourth floor of the EMAS building all the time.
It's kind of funny. I walked in first time again,

(01:59):
this first time doing my show from here, hadn't been
in a restroom, walked in there, top of the air,
and like, oh well, hell, this is worth a move
right here. It's a lot better. So at any rate,
here we are but participate, participate, appreciate you listening and
participating through whatever media you choose, including YouTube or over

(02:23):
the year or otherwise. So let's shift gears a little
bit and let's talk about I think an interesting new
study and listen, this all ties together, it ties together perfectly.
But we're talking about the ability to be armed and
to defend ourselves as citizens here in the United States,

(02:47):
And certainly we can look at what's going on in
Australia and whatnot what's happening to those citizens? And listen,
there is fundamentally a different mindset. You know, I spent
three months, continuous months in Australia one time, several years ago.
I've spent time in the UK, I've spent time in Canada,

(03:09):
and and there is a a a certain passive mindset.
And listen, you hate to generalize across an entire population
of a country, much less multiple countries, and you certainly
run into individuals who are exceptions to the rule, no question,

(03:29):
And it's it's intellectually lazy to generalize too broadly, and
I don't want to be guilty of that sin. At
the same time, what I did notice they were a
pervasive difference and attitude among Australians. And this is true
in the UK and and it's certainly true in Canada.
Is is is these are These are folks who are

(03:52):
in a culture. And this has been true for hundreds
of years, certainly in the UK and obviously more recently
in terms of number of hundreds of years in Canada.
In Australia, but there is a difference between being a
subject and being a citizen. And listen, I'm sure I'm

(04:17):
going to offend a whole lot of people, and and
I'm simply offering my observation. If you disagree, then you're
welcome to your own conclusions and opinions. But but there
is this idea of being a subject, like a British subject,

(04:37):
and where you you have some, you have some inferiority
to royalty, and and and it's a it's a it's
a culture that certainly involves more idea of of of

(04:57):
separation of commoner from the elite. And am I generalizing, yeah, absolutely,
But I noticed this passive approach that allowed, in my mind,

(05:20):
the Australian people, and certainly the British people and now
more recently the Canadian people to be stripped of their
ability to defend themselves in an ever growing way. How
in the UK they're talking about they're talking about knife bands,
where they've largely lost their ability to defend themselves with firearms,

(05:45):
almost entirely in fact, that there is no real law
of self defense in the UK. What the government wants
you to do in the UK is basically call the
police and hope for the best. And far too many
people over there believe, well, somehow that's for the best.
Their country will be better off, and they need to
just subject themselves to that in the name of the

(06:11):
greater good. In Australia you see very much the same attitude.
And it's really odd to me because you know, look
at the origins of Australia. You go back to where
you know, a country of criminals, right, it was a
prison colony, and I think you had a strong independent
spirit there for a lot of years. But then you

(06:34):
have this same sort of willingness to subject yourself to
the will of the government. It just doesn't exist in
the United States for an awful lot of the population
now certainly does to some you saw during COVID, How
shocked were you that so many people here in the US,
given our culture, our culture of independence, willingness to fight

(06:58):
wars for independence, willing just to stand up for individual
liberty and rights, how many people were fully willing to
just say, Okay, government, you want me to wear this
diaper on my face for as long as you tell
me to. Sure, Okay, you may stay home. Okay, you
mean not drive all right, Okay, you mean not work,

(07:19):
not make a living, shut down my business? Well, okay,
if you tell me, but so many more of us
were just shocked by that. And you saw still, even
though I was completely frankly surprised, if not shocked, at
the number of people who are so passive and compliant,
you still had others with what I consider to be

(07:40):
more of the American spirit and the spirit of independence
and a spirit of liberty and defiance, who said, oh,
hell no, I'm not buying any of this. This is
all wrong. I'm not gonna do this just because you're
ordering me to do it. No, the answer is no.
The answer is hell no. And let's just focus on

(08:05):
that a little bit. Because I've made this commentary before,
not often. I don't think I've ever gone into this
in the ten years i've done the Gun Guy Show.
And it just sort of came to me one time.
I was actually speaking at a Lincoln Day dinner several
years ago, and I hadn't really planned it. It was
a kind of a spontaneous commentary on my part. But

(08:31):
the ability to say hell no to authoritarianism is just
part of the American spirit, and it pains me. It
hurts me. And I'm an old guy. Now. Hell I'm
sixty eight years old, and it's painful to me to
see the number of passive, compliant people who don't seem

(08:54):
to have that spirit of liberty and independence anymore in
this country. But you know what, I figured out long, long, long,
long ago, And these things come together in terms of
Second Amendment rights and even the decision, and it's a

(09:15):
big decision, and I don't think anyone should make it lightly,
But the decision to carry the firearm for personal defense,
defense of your family, defense of your your fellow innocent citizens.
A lot of it has to do with that same
basic concept of the ability to say hell no, not me.

(09:38):
I choose differently. You may not subject my to subject
me to your whim and your will and your domination. No,
not me, hell no. It's the ability to say hell no. Now.
A lot of this comes from the the founders and

(09:59):
read the coloration of Independence, sometimes all of it, not
just the part everybody likes to focus on. You know,
we hold these truths to be self evident and and
and and the rights that they say are coming or
originating from nature and Nature's God. But go beyond that

(10:25):
and talk about is the right of the people when
any form of government becomes destructive of these ends? That
is the goal of government, which to preserve essential liberties,
among these being life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
But then it says, when any government because destructive of
these ends, it is the right of the people to
alter or abolish that form of government and establish new

(10:46):
government in a form to them. And I'm paraphrasing, I
don't have it in front of me that they believe
to be most likely to protect their liberty and happiness.
But it is the right of the people to alter
or abolish that form because you know what that is.
That's the ability is say hell no, no, no, no, I'm sorry,

(11:08):
you become a tyrannical government. Hell no. But it's even
more practical than that. It's more day to day than that.
That is this ability to say hell no. The ninety
or one hundred pound woman who's walking down the street
at night and a rapist approaches her, wants to impose

(11:30):
his will upon her, force her into an alley. That
woman carrying a firearm has the ability to do what
to say, hell no, not me, not tonight, wrong person.
I am not a victim. I am not subjecting myself
to your will and your women and your domination. Hell no, no,

(11:52):
the answer is no, not me. In your bed at
night and someone's trying to pick the lock on your
door or to kick your door in. It's a home invasion.
They're coming into your home. Their plan is a murder

(12:13):
of the people there and to steal your belongings. What
is that shotgun next to the bed, or the ar
or the handgun, whatever it may be. What is that
There are more of them than there are of you.
But you have the ability to do what you have
the ability to say hell no, not me, not tonight,
wrong house. And I think about those people on Bondi Beach.

(12:38):
Are the people sitting in the classroom at Brown University.
You're at Bondi Beach. You're celebrating a Hanukkah celebration, festival,
religious ceremony. It's a time for worship and happiness and
family and love, and all of a sudden, some maniacs
start shooting you, killing you, killing the people around you.

(13:06):
What would what would what would you want more than
anything in that moment? You would want the ability to
say hell no, not me, not today. But the Australian
government has stripped that away from them in the name
of their safety. Oh no, sorry, you can't have the
means of defending yourself. When this lunatic who apparently is

(13:32):
a Portuguese national, walked in that classroom at Brown University,
no one there had the capacity to say no, not today,
hell no, not me, not today, not my classroom, not
my teacher, not my fellow students. No. The answer is no.

(13:53):
That's the difference. That's the difference. That's what an armed
citizen has the capacity to do. It's not just about
gunpowder and lead and brass. It's about when people are
attempting to murder you. It's deprive you of your rights,
your liberty, your freedom, your life, your home, your family.

(14:14):
It's about having the ability to say, oh no, and
then look at examples. Look at the examples of where
the right result obtained. Look at my friend and client,
Elijah Dickett in the Greenwood Park Mall a go I
walked out of the restroom with an ar fifteen yes,
and over one hundred rounds of ammunition, including three fully

(14:36):
loaded mags and a chest risk a chest rig and
he walked into that food court and his intent was
to murder as many people as he possibly could, And
he had the capacity to murder a whole heck of
a lot of them right there in the food court
in the Greenwood Park Mall. And who knows how many
people he could have murdered, And tragically he killed three

(14:58):
innocent people, poor gentleman who was just walking in the
restroom as the shooter. And I do not name these people.
They will achieve no notoriety through me. But as he
walked out of the restroom, the bad guy, an innocent victim,
was walking in and met the muzzle of an AR fifteen,

(15:18):
had no ability to defend himself, simply got shot. That
guy walks out into the mall and shot a couple
who was just having dinner there in the food court
in Greenwood. But you know what, there was one person
there in that mall. He was forty three yards away.
He was all the way on the other side of
the mall. But Eli Dickon, you know Eli dicken did
He said, hell no, not today, not in the Greenwood

(15:42):
Park Mall, not where I and my girlfriend are trying
to have our own dinner.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
No.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
Now, you're not going to murder my fellow citizens. Not today. No,
hell no. And he stood up and he braced on
a trash can from forty three yards away, took four
shots and he hit the guy twice, then proceeded to
take six more shots, hit all six with those bad

(16:07):
guy dies. You know some people live, Eli Dickens said,
hell no. And who is it, whether it's the government
or a building owner or a business owner, or whoever
it might be, who should have the ability to look
at you and say no, no, no. You don't have
the ability of the capacity. You don't have the right

(16:28):
to say hell no when someone wants to take your life.
You don't get the capacity to defend your life, your family,
your home. Who should have that power over you to
deprive you, as an individual of that ability to stand up,
look evil in the eye and say hell no, not today, no,

(16:49):
not today. Answer that question for me, then tell me
the government, the government ought to have the ability for
the greater good, should deprive you of that power, that ability,
that inherent ability to defend yourself to say hell no, no, no,

(17:12):
no no. You know what I say to that, that's
hell no. Let's take a break. This is Guy Ralford
