(04:50):
Tarliet. We're broadcasting live from thestudios of LPD FIMS Range and Training Facility.
I'm your host, Eric Popall.Why do we work within the confines
of the law. Why I don'tunderstand why we have to? What the
hell is wrong with this administration?Is wrong? Seven times we charge this
(05:11):
man with having a gun as afelon, and what's our answer? The
mayor wants to ban thirty round magazines. Give me a break. It's ridiculous,
right, it's out here. Thisis we need to stand out.
We're too quieted. We're too quiet. You can't count twenty? Why is
(05:31):
that it doesn't count? It wasupset. That's why he had a domestic
violence and the aggravated assault. Howmany times it's it's it's only the law
is only a deterrent if there areconsequences for your actions. If there's no
consequences, we end up with Rickyt firing on officers after seven times being
(05:55):
caught carrying a gun as a felon. I'm sure he's out. I'm sure.
I mean, why wouldn't we lethim out? Why can't we get
the mayor, the city attorney,or the Franklin County prosecutor at least a
call in. They don't want tosolve the problems. They don't want to
solve the paris because that's part oftheir agenda, is to keep things in
(06:17):
turmoil. I tell you, ifsomething were to happen to any of us
out there and the suspect is oneof these idiots, my family is going
to be rich because they're going togo back and sue every one of these
damn judges along the way. It'sridiculous. It is ridiculous. Jac What
do you guys well, I mean, the solution, the solution is obvious
(06:40):
that you just arm the law abidingpeople but leave the criminals alone. I
mean that seems to be what theirwhat their solution is. This is just
this is absolutely insane and we talkedabout this. I got really riled up
on the phone with you last MC. I'm going, look, you know
what if you're if you're a chargedwith drunk driving, not that you hit
anybody, if you stop you hey, or you're charged with drunk driving.
(07:00):
You know the high A law itwas pretty specific on on you know what
can happen, and it would basicallysay that, hey, the first time,
you know, you can face upto six months in jail just for
driving autoxicated. And if it happensagain within six years of that, well
now you can get up six sixmonths in jail and a really really large
(07:23):
fine. But the third time,hey, you can face two a year
in jail. Fourth time, I'mtelling you can go five years is where
you can go. But what happenstwo felons carrying firearms? I mean this
democrats, ahware? So where areyou know the biolens. We've got to
stop it. We've got to stopit by taking things away from people who
(07:45):
aren't committing crimes but living the otherones with Why why isn't there legislation that
says, hey, you know,if you're a felon and you know you
are caught with a firearm and ordisability. We're gonna mandate you do something
out whether it's the first time,you know, a weak community service,
a month, whatever. The secondtime, well, now now we're getting
(08:05):
serious because these are the criminals,these are the felons, these are committing
the crimes. You need to havea minimum jail sentence, non sexual or
whatever they decide. But the thirdtime, I'm sorry, you know you
need to go to prison. Imean, that's a prisoners over a year.
Jail's under a year, but onceyou hit over the year mark,
that falls into the prison system,and that's where you need to go.
(08:28):
Why why isn't there a law Ifthey want to stop the crime and they
arrest these guys and they have possessionof a firearm, you're not allowed to
have firearm or ammunition, why don'tthey just said that's okay, Well,
yeah, we'll plead that down,we'll do something. They need to have
a mandatory sentence, and that,my friends. I know that a lot
(08:50):
of it has to do with juveniles, and I know that they're very,
very lenient, but there need tobe a mandatory program. My son got
caught speeding like five miles an hourover the speed limit, had to go
to a the only thing he's everdone in the select that was wrong,
try to take kids home before curfewand sped by the Oyssue golf course.
Had to go to a pay uptwo hundred and some dollars and go to
(09:13):
us a course for the you knowwhatever. It was three days a week.
I forget the time limit. Butwhat do these guys do, the
felons carrying guns, the ones committingcrime, committing bios. This guy's shooting,
Thank god he was a bad shot, or we could have had officers.
We could have had the funeral forseveral officers if he had appeared at
(09:33):
a better range. Why is notBatman in prison for ever? Yeah,
it's ridiculous. We need lawmakers tohave these. We need to pass the
mandatory sentences for the criminals who arecarrying guns, leave law abiding citizens alone.
Well, you know the city themayor has a mandatory sentence for if
(09:56):
you're carrying the story round magazine ofcourse, yeah right, yeah, right,
that's what you wanted. If it'splastic magazine, Yeah, that's all
you have to have as an emptymagazine. And did you go to jail,
You lose your house you lose yourjob, there's no work release,
and you are in jail for ayear. That's what he wanted. Doesn't
care about the criminals using the handguns. They're not out there using using thirty
(10:18):
pound magazines. I mean, weknow that. All the records show that
there's just not I mean, whatone year there wasn't any I think it
was last year. Not a singletime was anyone arrested that was because of
a gun with a thirty round magazine. No, that's not what you carry
this. They have their their theDemocrats, and they're going to pursue everything
(10:41):
to disarm citizens. They don't careabout the criminals and JC and what's the
answer. Today Today we're doing agun buy back in Columbus because we're gonna
get illegal guns off the street.What. I don't know if these guys
actually believe it, but the gunsthat are being stolen these thugs every day
(11:01):
out of vehicles are ones that wherepeople are carrying guns legally. Right stands
to reason. You're carrying a gunlegally, maybe you have to leave it
in your vehicle when you go intothe whereever it is because you can't bring
a gun in there and they're gettingstolen. Those law abiding people aren't showing
up on Saint Clair Avenue today toturn in their guns. It is assinine
(11:24):
what these people think. And wekeep buying it, We keep we keep
buying it. Taxpayers money right outthe window on something that's not going to
work. Well, you know,I just had to check something out here.
A fourth degree felony for carrying afirearm under disability carries six to eighteen
months. That's if you're caught thefirst time weapons under disability. He was
(11:50):
caught how many seven times? Anded, if I look through here,
and I didn't go through and look, but if I go here and look,
there's no gap in in crime here. If they would have charged gave
him at least twelve months each time, he wouldn't be out and he would
have never had the opportunity to shootat police. And Ed, this is
Franklin County. I didn't go tosurrounding county. I'm looking at It's just
(12:13):
it's just I'm looking at the Ohioor see six to eighteen months for the
first felony four and he was chargedseven times. If they would have gave
him twelve months for the first twotimes, he wouldn't have been around to
shoot or the last year. AndI guarantee you he didn't come to LAPDA
or advances or shoe point blank,did buy hit that gun he was shooting
(12:33):
at police at Oh, I'm sureguarantee you it was stolen. I'm sure
absolutely, it's just crazy. Well, guys, we are the owners of
LAPD Firearms Drains and training facility,and we're active in law enforcement. But
for one hour on Saturdays. Luckilyit's not more than one hour this could
go on. I'll tell you forone hour on Saturdays together, it's going
on. So we should do groupof firem experts to discuss new products in
(12:54):
the market and oftentimes political topics surroundingthe Second Amend Amendment. But our commitment
that has always been to bring youfacts about our industry and help customers and
listeners with safe, responsible ownership offirearms. That's why I took myself off
the show and come on the show. You get me all stressed up,
and then I go home and thenand I can't well, maybe one or
(13:16):
two guys a reason we are.We're gonna go into a break here shortly.
But I wanted to tee up therest of the show. We wanted
to thank Brian Tad last week jumpingon vice president of FOP Live number nine.
Always good to hear from him.Always good to hear from the guys,
the men and women that are thereon the street talking to our officers
firsthand. And then today we're talkingabout the gun buyback. We have a
(13:41):
man on the street. He's goingto call in and you know what I
wanted, pup, I want Iwish we had an LPD car all doctored
up, because I would have gonedown there in line and and and I
mean, I'm sure we got stuffaround here. And yeah, huh,
I mean they said they would payfor a three D printed gun. I
did the math. We could buythe printer for about two hundred bucks.
(14:01):
We could spit those things out.We could have been making money. We
could have millions. That's right.I hope we have a dump truck down
there to fill up with all themguns, right right. And then Jac's
gonna get to news here shortly,and then at twelve thirty we're gonna talk
about something we didn't get to lastweek, Channel four story that is worth
calling out. So let's jump toa break when we come back when we
get to some news with jac We'reon Target broadcasting live from the studios of
(14:24):
LPD Firearms and Range. We'll beback right after the break. Papo,
you drug that that weather on anylonger, I would have been that the
news of Look, you give mea sheet, you scrash out stuff.
You got the low clur down here, you got the high clear up there.
You know we paid by the minute. I mean, JC, you
got to scratch that last story offcrimony. All right, second time,
(14:46):
I'll do better. Hey, what'swith the cigarette? This place is causing
me to smoke? Yeah, welcomeback to on Target. I'm your host,
Eric joint to E and the LPDstudios. I didn't even get to
tee it up the first time Igot Papo to my I left. I
got big head to my right.Mister Chuck Douglas is going to be back
next week actually taking the reins.I don't want to give ahead of myself,
(15:07):
but next week's show is going tobe really neat. We're gonna have
Vince Buckles from mesa Kinetic Tactical onWho's the AK Expert? So now you
can add it's just going to bea full table. I'm just saying,
thanks, jac Let's go to somenews. What you got. There's a
there's a lot, as you know. Uh, some of them are going
to have to really delve in becausethere's so much important information in here.
(15:31):
But the big news was is thatjust you know, I mean this this
the governor of California, Gavin Nuisance. Oh, I mean Newsome. Uh,
you know, like last Tuesday hepassed almost two dozen gun control bills.
He signed off on over almost twodozen. Uh. It just it
(15:54):
just anything to discern the people,It's what he wants to do. But
one of them was a magazine banwhere that banned any magazine in California that
held more than ten rounds of ammunition. So it went up to the United
States District Court and one of myfavorite people in the United States is Judge
Robert Benitez, who truly is foundedin constitutional amendments and truly believes in the
(16:18):
Second Amendment. And basically he saidthat the state of California failed the test
for determining the constitution and the restrictionhe shot it down. So now he
did realize it's going to be appealedautomatically, and he put at ten day
a stay on his ruling. Butyou know, he just said that this
(16:42):
case is about California state law thatmakes it a crime to keep and bear
common firearm magazines typically possessed by lawfor lawful purposes, based on the text
the history, which is really importantbecause the Brewer, they go back and
look at the history, the historyof the addition to the Second Amendment,
this law is clearly unconstitutional. Sohe signed off. Benita signed off on
(17:07):
this pardon me band what knewso signedoff on which the whole state ten round
magazines. So when it came upto the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals,
which will be the next stop,the previous case had also gone up there
that Benita's assigned, and back thenthe judge Susan Grabber wrote that basically nothing
(17:32):
in the records suggests that restrictions imposedby any more than minimal burden of hardship
on the Second Amendment rights. Sois it minimal on your right to defend
your home to have a ten roundmagazine or less? That's that's no big
deal, she said. But butbut this is you have to hear what
Benita said. It's it's pretty incredible. You found that the government remain as
(17:55):
you broke this. The government remainsfixed on the notion that it alone can
decide that anything larger than a tenround magazine is not suitable for a citizen
to have. But there are noanalogous cases in our history. There are
no cases where the American government dictatedthat lever action rifles were unsuitable because single
shot rifles were good enough, butthat revolvers were unsuitable because daragers were good
(18:18):
enough. The choices have always belongedto the people to decide for themselves how
much firepower they need. In fact, he said that the laws did regulate
ammunition in the Founding Fathers area,but it operated exactly the opposite way.
Said the right to have firearms forsecurity was important at the time the Constitution
(18:41):
was adopted. There are many enemiesof the young nation, and armed citizen
reprovided much needed to turn effect.We think. He mentioned the men of
elections had and conquered assembling as amilitia, fought back against the British who
wanted to take away guns and gunpowder. These are others. These and
other citizen militia laws demonstrate that contraryto the idea of firing capacity upper limit.
(19:07):
There was a legal obligation for theaverage citizen to have at least twenty
rounds available for immediate use. Thatwas a legal obligation back then. There
were no upper limits. There werefloors, and the floors were well above
ten rounds. I'm gonna just includethis, but what he wrote to conclude
it, I think we as Americansreally need to hear this. He concluded,
(19:30):
arguing that the Second Amendment was,and this quote was, was a
freedom decided long ago by our firstcitizens that valued individual rights over subservient security
of a monarchy or the smothering safetyof domestic lawmakers. That freedom, that
this freedom was worth fighting for duringthe revolution and worth preserving today. Our
(19:52):
government solution to a few madmen withguns is a law that makes into criminals
responsible law fighting people wanting larger magazineto apply to protect themselves. The history
and the tradition of the Second Amendmentclearly support state laws against the use or
misuse of firearms with unlawful intent,but not the disarmament of law abiding citizens.
(20:15):
That kind of a solution is aninfringement on the constitutional right of citizens
to keep and bear arms. Nowthose are the words of a federal judge
that I love to hear. AndI'm going to add one thing that I
did not know, but maybe someof you did not know this. They
went back and looked at the dictionariesthat were around in the seventeen hundreds,
(20:36):
even before the Revolutionary War, andthey said, even before the Constitution was
ratified or the Second Amendment was added, the dictionary definitions of the time defined
arms is in the right to keepin their arms as and here's the quote
from the dictionaries any musket and bennettsaber, holster, pistols, carbing,
(20:56):
or any array of arms, andany accruitements necessary for their operation. And
the founding fathers understood that the ammunitionwas obviously the most necessary accruitment for successful
operation of a farm. So basedon that history, I don't see how
any of these magazine bands will standif it gets to the Supreme Court.
(21:18):
Wow, that judge is I mean, he has been thoughtful. I mean
his rulings have been logical. Youjust hope it stands it But you know
what, John, it doesn't.It doesn't even seem to matter. I
mean, these these things make theirway to the Supreme Court, and you
get favorable rulings. Yet these statescontinue to do whatever the heck they want,
(21:40):
and it's like a constant battle ofit being tied up in courts.
Well, it's right right after thishappened in Oregon in a in a circuit
court in Harlem County, a circuitcourt judge, uh, just has heard
closing arguments over organs. They saythey have the most restrictive and I along
the country with what they've included,but they also have the measurement. Uh.
(22:04):
That's it's called Measure one fourteen iswhat their law is called. Similarly,
bands magazines holding more than ten rounds. But he's got sixty days to
make this decision, and I knowhe's going to be considering what Benito said
to the south of him in California. But it didn't stop Washington, the
state above Oregon, and their federaljudge. And guess what judge very dempty
(22:29):
Joe Biden to pointee, would itsurprised you that she's against the firearms.
She denied the motion that was filedup there. What she said was that
large capacity magazines are not arms.Arms of the guns, and they really
aren't arms. So it's okay tonot have said anything. I guess you
(22:52):
could do a one round magazine.But she did do. This really left
the sliver of hope because the judgecalled for a thor Will review of the
historical record of gun regulations and expertreports concerning what prior government viewed as arms
under the Second Amendment. So she'dprobably heard about the Benito thing before she
made that. And it's going okaywith the bruin going back to the history
(23:17):
and we know what the history ofthe country was. It gives me a
glimmer of hope that someone else lawswill fall. Wow. JC, let's
jump to the bottom of the hourand news. When we come back,
We've got a little bit more newsfor you. I want to talk about
an NBC four story, and we'regonna hear from our man on the street
at the Columbus buy Back, GunBuyback. We're on Target breadcasting live from
the studios of LPD Farms Range.You'll be back right after the break.
(23:38):
Welcome back to Target. I'm yourhost, Eric Joint today in the LAPD
studios. I got big ed tomy right, I got little pap up
to my left. Mister Chuck Douglassnot here this week, but he will
be running the show next week,and I have JC on the line with
us j C. Before we goany further. Two things, Edward,
do you want to give this quickChicago? Has it gotten any better than
Chicago? This week? I'm holdingout hope. Forty eight five murders this
(24:00):
year, two thousand, three hundredand fifty one people's shot and this last
week fifty one people. Oh,fifty one people. That's not bad,
sad. So since I'm not gonnabe here next Saturday, I'll tell you
what it's gonna be for next year. It's gonna be one hundred and two
okay for the week? All right, all right, that's probably a pretty
good guess. Something else too,before we go any further. Two talking
(24:21):
about guns of the week, Actuallyit's not necessarily a gun of the week,
as much of it is a reallykind of neat cell of the week
if you're in the market, evenif you're not in the market. We
have some trades that came in thisweek. I think we have ten or
fifteen of them. Edward has beensitting here in front of yes, three
Rickey T specials. Then there yougo. They are Glock twenty through twenty
(24:45):
twos, so they're forty calibers,but they are in excellent condition, very
nice. They are gin fours.They have three mags and get this you
ready night sides two ninety nine,two ninety nine for a glock with three
hags and there you go. Yes, So if you if you're in the
(25:11):
market, or even if you're notin the market, we do have a
handful here, probably ten to fifteenof them, and by one and then
also uh lights t l R twoh LG's if you're not familiar with that
light. It's a four hundred andsome dollars light. It not only is
an extremely bright light for watching thereon Facebook, but it also has a
(25:32):
green laser which you don't always see. Excellent condition. Those are here too.
Normally these lights go for over fourhundred dollars head two twenty well until
we sell the rest of them.So yeah, if you're in the market
and stuff, it's a great,great deal on either of this. You
just took out my night vision,Eric, it's up, but it is
(25:56):
night vision. Are you you meanto put you down for one? There?
JC, That is the deal ofthe week. And if I had
not just purchased from you a newsig in that caliber that was a trade
in. I would be there,you know, like a hot potato man,
I'd be there. Uh, thisis really a deal. So I
(26:18):
wouldn't be surprised if you would sellall these by enda tomorrow. I mean,
that's a great deal. And andpolice guns are seldom used. This
a Gen four excellent, excellent firearm. They're seldom used. Very few shots
have probably been I bet they haven'teven been fired two hundred times, do
they have? They have a mandatorythat they have to fire three hundred rounds
through them, Eric before they're they'reused. I know, if you have
(26:41):
your personal gun, they want youto have about that many rounds fired through.
I didn't know about issue guns.No, they and I don't think
so. I mean they could beokay, mintal, but I mean the
one that Dad has here, itlooks new. I mean it looks in
that good come with a case.Well they come with the case and three
mags No. Two ninety nine.When can you get it? Got yep?
(27:04):
So JC one story that it was. And well, first of all,
before you hit your next story here, you know, we're always talking
about the assault on gun stores andthe gun industry this week, and I'm
just going to give a one lineron this this week. Quick books pop.
Oh you know quick books, right, We use quick books here at
the store for some of our backend accounting. Quick books. They they
(27:26):
came to their senses and said they'reno longer going to disallow gun stores in
the firearms industry to use their product. So for a while there they were
kicking out gun stores and anyone inthe firearms industry because of the industry,
and we're going to set them offfrom using their products. Really, it
(27:47):
didn't it didn't affect us. Wedidn't. We didn't get hit on it,
but we were keeping tabs on it. And they came back and JC
you had more info, and Ithink, well, oh yeah, I
mean they did affect some. That'swhat brought it to Light Texas gun store.
They went to issue paychecks and thenjust shut their whole system down.
And they had they said for weeksthey had to write personal I mean they
had to write checks, paper checks, because without any warning they closed them
(28:11):
down. So it got up,of course to Ted Cruz, Texas,
who happens to be a senior memberon the Senate Finance Committee. I believe
that's the Setate finance. K Anyway, he checked into this and it turns
out that this inuit was being kindof controlled by JP Morgan and the Bank
of America, and they said theBank of America simply said, don't don't
(28:34):
allow gun stores, sellers of gunsare manufacturers to use this product. And
of course the Bank of America deniedit, but said why would we do
it? And we were told no, you gave us an order not to
do that. But apparently JP Morganand a Bank of America, if you're
dealing with those, trying to dealwith another bank because they are truly anti
(28:56):
guns. So anyway, because thatcrew has got involved and they said they're
going to be monitoring what's happening intoit is now that systems up and running
for all store owners. So wow, to see one of the story you
had to get to about. Andthis is a big one. Also California,
as I mentioned, he signed almosttwo dozen and a gun control laws
(29:18):
and one day Gavin Nuisance, Imean Newsome did and this one he signed
a law raising taxes on guns andammunition to pay for what he says is
for school safety. I don't knowhow much we'll go there, but this
is this is a big deal.They will. Part of that bill also
was to ban people from carrying firearmsand most public places in California while doubling
(29:45):
these taxes. So there's already tento eleven It depends on the gun.
I don't know which ones, butthere is it or ten or eleven percent
a federal tax on firearms and ammunition. But he's adding another eleven percent on
top of that, making California theonly state with a separate pass on all
(30:07):
guns and ammunition. This is uh, this just flies in the face of
what the bruined decision made, andall these states of the antigun states are
trying to do every single thing thatthey can to do that. So here's
what he said about it. Heeven said, oh yeah, he said,
(30:30):
I know that that there's a lotof laws out there that I just
signed that they're not signed that survivedthe legal challenge. Now the Supreme Court
has posted a new standard that's brewin. But you know, it may mean
the federal courts are throwing them out, but that's okay. I'm just gonna
go ahead and start passing them anyway. I mean, that's the type of
person there's running for president of theUnited State. He wants to run for
(30:52):
president. He hasn't announced it yet, but I think everybody knows he does
so anyway, So they've already hyou know, the California Rifle and Pistol
Association already assued to block one ofthe new laws, and that was the
change their concealed carry permits. Andnow get this, I mean now they've
been people in California, even withthe permit, from carrying guns in twenty
(31:15):
six places. I mean the publicparks, playgrounds, public demonstrations, gatherings,
gatherings, public gatherings, whatever thatis, thesement parks, churches,
banks, zoos. But to oneit gives me any other privately owned commercial
establishment that's open to the public unlessthe owner puts up a sign that says
(31:36):
guns are allowed. So that hasalready been struck down in New York.
But he doesn't care. Let himspend taxpayers money and stuff. They haven't
struck down again. But that's whenhe passed so that you so JC you
would have to You could only carryinto an establishment if they had a sign
on the door saying, hey,you can carry gun here, is okay?
(31:57):
Right? Yeah, Oh yeah,I gotta go down and grab some
milk to this morning. And look, you can't go down armed. If
the if the if, the stopand go doesn't have a gun. Every
single place you would go, it'sthe dry cleaners, the you know,
the stores, market shopping. Theywould have to display a sign that says
(32:17):
guns are allowed. So it's justcraziness out there to land the fruit and
nuts. But he's one of thelargest, so absolutely crazy. Hey,
the story just popped up at thetime, just really quickly. Uh,
this is something big because it's goingto go to the Supreme Court. I
just found out about it. ButSCOTUS is going to consider a challenge background
(32:42):
check that they did in New York. So New York says, hey,
we're going to do our own.Every time you buy ammunition, you have
to have our state police do abackground check on you, and you have
to pay for it. So it'syou have to pay for gun nine bucks
two fifty every time you go tobuy some ammo. And this has now
been pushed to an emergency was filedas an emergency petition to SCOTUS and it's
(33:05):
been assigned to of all people,Justice Clarence Thomas who was the author of
the Brewing decision. What his decisionis going to be is whether or not
they should take it for a fullSupreme Court hearing. Are just reverted back
to the lower courts. But that'scoming up too, and that just happened.
So hopefully have faith in Clarence Thomas. But you know, you never
(33:30):
know how these things are going towork out. So that's right, Jase,
as we go into the break,and I'm gonna let you talk about
an event to consider here October one. You know, I don't know what

our man on this straight if wecan, we say, man, we
can. Let's okay, man onthe street about who's down there right now
at the gun buyback. We're onTarget broadcasting live from the studios of LPD
Farms Range Well back right after thebreak. You know why this song has
meeting Edward Well other than us Jamontwo back in eighties or whatever. This
(35:00):
is our theme song. And itcame and we haven't talked about this for
a minute. It came from oneof the idiot politicians who said all gun
owners are on a highway to hell. I figured let's go with it.
If we're going, we're going,let's go. We're taking him with us
too, that's right. That wasthe vice president of the ANYA of the
(35:21):
Teachers Association said that on the road. What doesn't he know? John?
How do you know this stuff?Like? I have to look at it.
How do you know it? Youknow? Well, it just get
some stuff sticks with me when itcomes to firearms. You know what he
counts on everywhere? You know whathe counts on. He counts on us
not knowing if he's saying the truth. So we can't prove him wrong.
(35:43):
We can't prove him wrong. Thatis valid. That is valid. But
she is a vicious person of whatvice president? Okay, what I was
gonna go down to some place Ishouldn't anyways, guys, it is the
Columbus gun buyback Day. We havea man in the street there, Chuck,
Chuck, are you are you outthere? Hello? Chuck? Oh?
(36:10):
They must have took his phone too. Maybe he turned in this stone.
Here are you there, Chuck?Hello, I'm here. Can you
hear me? Oh, we canhear you, We can hear you.
What's going on down there? Well? On the way down over to dude,
(36:31):
over to Garfield. I'm here Garfieldand Buckingham for quite a time.
Now it's packed, so you're inline, you got Do you have any
good deals? But yeah, there'sall kinds of good deals. Unfortunately,
we have some of our city brothersin their cars. Thank you. Sure
that when we gets out trying tomake deals on the street here side most
(36:54):
side deal going on there, soso that I expect you to bringing back
all the cash I gave you.Then well, yes, sir, Well
you know so, Chuck, thisstarted at I think ten o'clock, so
we're now pushing one. We're supposedto be almost over. I mean,
were you anywhere. It's close togetting to a point to being where it
(37:15):
was at according to my deepts I'mlooking at I'm over on Garfield Fuckingham.
I have to make a right turnon the next street, go back about
three blocks, I believe if I'mmust this right, and I've sent you
a couple of pictures there, Imean it is just blocked up all the
way. So it's going to bea success. Well, I don't know.
(37:38):
Hey, if they don't run outbefore I get there, Hey,
Chuck, can you tell whether thepeople in the vehicles are a bunch of
felons or are the good people goodlooking people? Well, it's mostly like
you're hiding pickup truck the suv withWell, my car is in line here.
(38:02):
Wow, have no felons yet?The wow, Chuck, you got
to be careful out there with thenrerouting you did you? Uh? You
packing today, Chuck? Oh,yes, I'm packing the day all right.
Wait, thanks for calling in andkeeping us updated. Let us know
(38:22):
if you ever make it to thefinish line there. Uh, And that
is Chuck our man on the streetin line at the buyback with Columbus play
you guys tomorrow. It should beall cleared up, I mean, the
violence on the street, all ofthat. According to the mayor, whoop,
we should be good, is gettingexactly what he's been asking for,
(38:43):
right, guns off the street now, all you good liberals are turning in
your guns. Yeah. He's gonnahave a tax hike to pay for all
this, right, just like that. I wonder, I wonder if he
has an express lane for felons,you know, come over here, cut
in line first. That's about justlet them out. What they said,
according to the News this week jC that they're hoping to get illegal guns
(39:07):
off the street. And I sentback in. I said, can you
help me with what's an illegal gun? I mean, I don't if someone's
stealing a gun, chances are they'restealing it to use it. They're probably
not turning it in, right it. I mean, well unless they're done,
I would imagine all of these peopleare bringing in illegal guns. Right,
that's wants right. I'll get theillegal guns off the street and save
(39:29):
the kids. And here's the thing. You know, they made a big
deal about this this week. Everyday at nine Bethel Road is gun by
Back day. You come in withthe firearm you're looking to trade or sell
right here. Every that doesn't haveto be once a year for the news.
Every day gun buyback except Mondays willclose day. However, if you
(39:50):
come in as a felon, youwon't leave well, bitchally well that one
guy didn't by that. I meanmost people leave yeah, well with handcuffs.
Yes, yes, okay, that'sjust craziness. You know, we
make light of it, but it'sjust it's just mere craziness. Speaking of
craziness, guys, I want toget into this last thing because we didn't
get to it last week. Andyou know, we work with all the
media. We've always had an opendoor policy, and I have a good
(40:13):
relationship. I can call up thereporters and say, guys, that was
bad, and we have a goodworking relationship. But there's something I gotta
call Channel four out on happened abouta week ago. Marcy's Law, Right,
this is the law that was enactedI think a year or so ago,
and it was intended to prevent therelease of names of crime victims,
good or bad. I'm indifferent toit, but that was the intent.
(40:35):
Well, all of a sudden,law enforcement now has determined that these officers
who were involved in life or deathsituations and have to use their firearm and
a deadly forced encounter, they werethe victim of a crime that caused them
to use that firearm. So thesedepartments are all worried that, hey,
we can't release their names because itwould go against Marcy's Law. So for
(40:57):
good or for bad, I don't, you know, have an opinion on
if that's how it should be ornot. But Channel four decided to do
an in depth story on this.The title of the story, Okay,
a hurried change to a law meantfor crime victims. Now shield the identities
of officers who kill. Wow,officers who kill, not officers who had
(41:22):
to use their firearm in the courseof their jobs to protect themselves or other
It's officers who kill. I mean, how irresponsible is that? But it
gets worse as you read down throughit. One of them they're talking about
they said, you know. Amongstthese examples are the high profile case of
twenty one year old Takia Young.This is the one out of Blendon Township
(41:45):
here recently. She was an unarmed, pregnant lady. Unarmed. Now ed,
if you're not live in this worldthat we live in every day and
you think unarmed, I'm thinking,well, how can you legitimately shoot someone
If they are unarmed, they musthow can they be a threat? True?
(42:07):
That is what the station wanted youto believe. They're unarmed man,
that those cops they're just shooting peoplethat are they're not threats, which is
a bunch of bs because she wasarmed with a three thousand pound vehicle.
And they go on to say,well, you know, Blendon Township,
they withheld the officer's name because missYoung grazed him with her car. Grace,
(42:29):
when you think of grays, Dad, what do you think of well
before there is a different I wouldassume. I'm just guessing here. If
somebody right, if you have apicture and it's on camera, right,
if you have a picture of boththe officer's feet, both of his feet
(42:50):
off the ground, what they're sayingis a graze, it's merely a gray.
A couple of news. Let's getColleen Marshall on the right. The
thing was is I called I calledthe reporter on this and I said,
guys, extremely poor choice of wordshere. I mean, at the very
(43:15):
least, if I'm giving you thebenefit of the doubt, a very poor
choice of words, that this protectsofficers who kill. And they said,
well, you know, yeah,that is kind of a bad choice of
words. But did you think itchanged anything to this day? You pull
up the article, it's a bunchof crap. Did you talk to the
reporter? I did? And whatdid that person say? Yeah, with
different perspectives? And I said,wait a second, she had a vehicle.
(43:39):
She was armed with the vehicle.Look up the definition of armed.
It doesn't say it has to bewith a firearm or knife. It's armed
with an instrument intending to do harmor to defend yourself. It's just crazy.
By the way, I was grazedby that pen. He's grazed.
I was hoping to if you didn'thit me, it would have been a
(44:01):
big difference. Yes, So that'sthe only thing I was trying to point
out. We should show them thedifference between grays or being struck. Guys,
it is. It's been a fasthour as usual. Thanks for sitting
with us for this last hour.Next week we have Vince buckles on talking
everything you want to know about AKforty seven. He is a phenomenal wealth
of information. You're not gonna winamidst that. Be careful out there.
(44:25):
Let us know if you were atthe buyback and Paul Paul, as they
say, let's be careful out there.

Tig Junior fired on officers that dayand was charged with weapons under a disability
for the seventh time and three assaultson police officers. Wow. Never saw
that coming. Hashtag stop electing stupidpeople. Good afternoon, Welcome to down
(04:50):
Tarliet. We're broadcasting live from thestudios of LPD FIMS Range and Training Facility.
I'm your host, Eric Popall.Why do we work within the confines
of the law. Why I don'tunderstand why we have to? What the
hell is wrong with this administration?Is wrong? Seven times we charge this
(05:11):
man with having a gun as afelon, and what's our answer? The
mayor wants to ban thirty round magazines. Give me a break. It's ridiculous,
right, it's out here. Thisis we need to stand out.
We're too quieted. We're too quiet. You can't count twenty? Why is
(05:31):
that it doesn't count? It wasupset. That's why he had a domestic
violence and the aggravated assault. Howmany times it's it's it's only the law
is only a deterrent if there areconsequences for your actions. If there's no
consequences, we end up with Rickyt firing on officers after seven times being
(05:55):
caught carrying a gun as a felon. I'm sure he's out. I'm sure.
I mean, why wouldn't we lethim out? Why can't we get
the mayor, the city attorney,or the Franklin County prosecutor at least a
call in. They don't want tosolve the problems. They don't want to
solve the paris because that's part oftheir agenda, is to keep things in
(06:17):
turmoil. I tell you, ifsomething were to happen to any of us
out there and the suspect is oneof these idiots, my family is going
to be rich because they're going togo back and sue every one of these
damn judges along the way. It'sridiculous. It is ridiculous. Jac What
do you guys well, I mean, the solution, the solution is obvious
(06:40):
that you just arm the law abidingpeople but leave the criminals alone. I
mean that seems to be what theirwhat their solution is. This is just
this is absolutely insane and we talkedabout this. I got really riled up
on the phone with you last MC. I'm going, look, you know
what if you're if you're a chargedwith drunk driving, not that you hit
anybody, if you stop you hey, or you're charged with drunk driving.
(07:00):
You know the high A law itwas pretty specific on on you know what
can happen, and it would basicallysay that, hey, the first time,
you know, you can face upto six months in jail just for
driving autoxicated. And if it happensagain within six years of that, well
now you can get up six sixmonths in jail and a really really large
(07:23):
fine. But the third time,hey, you can face two a year
in jail. Fourth time, I'mtelling you can go five years is where
you can go. But what happenstwo felons carrying firearms? I mean this
democrats, ahware? So where areyou know the biolens. We've got to
stop it. We've got to stopit by taking things away from people who
(07:45):
aren't committing crimes but living the otherones with Why why isn't there legislation that
says, hey, you know,if you're a felon and you know you
are caught with a firearm and ordisability. We're gonna mandate you do something
out whether it's the first time,you know, a weak community service,
a month, whatever. The secondtime, well, now now we're getting
(08:05):
serious because these are the criminals,these are the felons, these are committing
the crimes. You need to havea minimum jail sentence, non sexual or
whatever they decide. But the thirdtime, I'm sorry, you know you
need to go to prison. Imean, that's a prisoners over a year.
Jail's under a year, but onceyou hit over the year mark,
that falls into the prison system,and that's where you need to go.
(08:28):
Why why isn't there a law Ifthey want to stop the crime and they
arrest these guys and they have possessionof a firearm, you're not allowed to
have firearm or ammunition, why don'tthey just said that's okay, Well,
yeah, we'll plead that down,we'll do something. They need to have
a mandatory sentence, and that,my friends. I know that a lot
(08:50):
of it has to do with juveniles, and I know that they're very,
very lenient, but there need tobe a mandatory program. My son got
caught speeding like five miles an hourover the speed limit, had to go
to a the only thing he's everdone in the select that was wrong,
try to take kids home before curfewand sped by the Oyssue golf course.
Had to go to a pay uptwo hundred and some dollars and go to
(09:13):
us a course for the you knowwhatever. It was three days a week.
I forget the time limit. Butwhat do these guys do, the
felons carrying guns, the ones committingcrime, committing bios. This guy's shooting,
Thank god he was a bad shot, or we could have had officers.
We could have had the funeral forseveral officers if he had appeared at
(09:33):
a better range. Why is notBatman in prison for ever? Yeah,
it's ridiculous. We need lawmakers tohave these. We need to pass the
mandatory sentences for the criminals who arecarrying guns, leave law abiding citizens alone.
Well, you know the city themayor has a mandatory sentence for if
(09:56):
you're carrying the story round magazine ofcourse, yeah right, yeah, right,
that's what you wanted. If it'splastic magazine, Yeah, that's all
you have to have as an emptymagazine. And did you go to jail,
You lose your house you lose yourjob, there's no work release,
and you are in jail for ayear. That's what he wanted. Doesn't
care about the criminals using the handguns. They're not out there using using thirty
(10:18):
pound magazines. I mean, weknow that. All the records show that
there's just not I mean, whatone year there wasn't any I think it
was last year. Not a singletime was anyone arrested that was because of
a gun with a thirty round magazine. No, that's not what you carry
this. They have their their theDemocrats, and they're going to pursue everything
(10:41):
to disarm citizens. They don't careabout the criminals and JC and what's the
answer. Today Today we're doing agun buy back in Columbus because we're gonna
get illegal guns off the street.What. I don't know if these guys
actually believe it, but the gunsthat are being stolen these thugs every day
(11:01):
out of vehicles are ones that wherepeople are carrying guns legally. Right stands
to reason. You're carrying a gunlegally, maybe you have to leave it
in your vehicle when you go intothe whereever it is because you can't bring
a gun in there and they're gettingstolen. Those law abiding people aren't showing
up on Saint Clair Avenue today toturn in their guns. It is assinine
(11:24):
what these people think. And wekeep buying it, We keep we keep
buying it. Taxpayers money right outthe window on something that's not going to
work. Well, you know,I just had to check something out here.
A fourth degree felony for carrying afirearm under disability carries six to eighteen
months. That's if you're caught thefirst time weapons under disability. He was
(11:50):
caught how many seven times? Anded, if I look through here,
and I didn't go through and look, but if I go here and look,
there's no gap in in crime here. If they would have charged gave
him at least twelve months each time, he wouldn't be out and he would
have never had the opportunity to shootat police. And Ed, this is
Franklin County. I didn't go tosurrounding county. I'm looking at It's just
(12:13):
it's just I'm looking at the Ohioor see six to eighteen months for the
first felony four and he was chargedseven times. If they would have gave
him twelve months for the first twotimes, he wouldn't have been around to
shoot or the last year. AndI guarantee you he didn't come to LAPDA
or advances or shoe point blank,did buy hit that gun he was shooting
(12:33):
at police at Oh, I'm sureguarantee you it was stolen. I'm sure
absolutely, it's just crazy. Well, guys, we are the owners of
LAPD Firearms Drains and training facility,and we're active in law enforcement. But
for one hour on Saturdays. Luckilyit's not more than one hour this could
go on. I'll tell you forone hour on Saturdays together, it's going
on. So we should do groupof firem experts to discuss new products in
(12:54):
the market and oftentimes political topics surroundingthe Second Amend Amendment. But our commitment
that has always been to bring youfacts about our industry and help customers and
listeners with safe, responsible ownership offirearms. That's why I took myself off
the show and come on the show. You get me all stressed up,
and then I go home and thenand I can't well, maybe one or
(13:16):
two guys a reason we are.We're gonna go into a break here shortly.
But I wanted to tee up therest of the show. We wanted
to thank Brian Tad last week jumpingon vice president of FOP Live number nine.
Always good to hear from him.Always good to hear from the guys,
the men and women that are thereon the street talking to our officers
firsthand. And then today we're talkingabout the gun buyback. We have a
(13:41):
man on the street. He's goingto call in and you know what I
wanted, pup, I want Iwish we had an LPD car all doctored
up, because I would have gonedown there in line and and and I
mean, I'm sure we got stuffaround here. And yeah, huh,
I mean they said they would payfor a three D printed gun. I
did the math. We could buythe printer for about two hundred bucks.
(14:01):
We could spit those things out.We could have been making money. We
could have millions. That's right.I hope we have a dump truck down
there to fill up with all themguns, right right. And then Jac's
gonna get to news here shortly,and then at twelve thirty we're gonna talk
about something we didn't get to lastweek, Channel four story that is worth
calling out. So let's jump toa break when we come back when we
get to some news with jac We'reon Target broadcasting live from the studios of
(14:24):
LPD Firearms and Range. We'll beback right after the break. Papo,
you drug that that weather on anylonger, I would have been that the
news of Look, you give mea sheet, you scrash out stuff.
You got the low clur down here, you got the high clear up there.
You know we paid by the minute. I mean, JC, you
got to scratch that last story offcrimony. All right, second time,
(14:46):
I'll do better. Hey, what'swith the cigarette? This place is causing
me to smoke? Yeah, welcomeback to on Target. I'm your host,
Eric joint to E and the LPDstudios. I didn't even get to
tee it up the first time Igot Papo to my I left. I
got big head to my right.Mister Chuck Douglas is going to be back
next week actually taking the reins.I don't want to give ahead of myself,
(15:07):
but next week's show is going tobe really neat. We're gonna have
Vince Buckles from mesa Kinetic Tactical onWho's the AK Expert? So now you
can add it's just going to bea full table. I'm just saying,
thanks, jac Let's go to somenews. What you got. There's a
there's a lot, as you know. Uh, some of them are going
to have to really delve in becausethere's so much important information in here.
(15:31):
But the big news was is thatjust you know, I mean this this
the governor of California, Gavin Nuisance. Oh, I mean Newsome. Uh,
you know, like last Tuesday hepassed almost two dozen gun control bills.
He signed off on over almost twodozen. Uh. It just it
(15:54):
just anything to discern the people,It's what he wants to do. But
one of them was a magazine banwhere that banned any magazine in California that
held more than ten rounds of ammunition. So it went up to the United
States District Court and one of myfavorite people in the United States is Judge
Robert Benitez, who truly is foundedin constitutional amendments and truly believes in the
(16:18):
Second Amendment. And basically he saidthat the state of California failed the test
for determining the constitution and the restrictionhe shot it down. So now he
did realize it's going to be appealedautomatically, and he put at ten day
a stay on his ruling. Butyou know, he just said that this
(16:42):
case is about California state law thatmakes it a crime to keep and bear
common firearm magazines typically possessed by lawfor lawful purposes, based on the text
the history, which is really importantbecause the Brewer, they go back and
look at the history, the historyof the addition to the Second Amendment,
this law is clearly unconstitutional. Sohe signed off. Benita signed off on
(17:07):
this pardon me band what knewso signedoff on which the whole state ten round
magazines. So when it came upto the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals,
which will be the next stop,the previous case had also gone up there
that Benita's assigned, and back thenthe judge Susan Grabber wrote that basically nothing
(17:32):
in the records suggests that restrictions imposedby any more than minimal burden of hardship
on the Second Amendment rights. Sois it minimal on your right to defend
your home to have a ten roundmagazine or less? That's that's no big
deal, she said. But butbut this is you have to hear what
Benita said. It's it's pretty incredible. You found that the government remain as
(17:55):
you broke this. The government remainsfixed on the notion that it alone can
decide that anything larger than a tenround magazine is not suitable for a citizen
to have. But there are noanalogous cases in our history. There are
no cases where the American government dictatedthat lever action rifles were unsuitable because single
shot rifles were good enough, butthat revolvers were unsuitable because daragers were good
(18:18):
enough. The choices have always belongedto the people to decide for themselves how
much firepower they need. In fact, he said that the laws did regulate
ammunition in the Founding Fathers area,but it operated exactly the opposite way.
Said the right to have firearms forsecurity was important at the time the Constitution
(18:41):
was adopted. There are many enemiesof the young nation, and armed citizen
reprovided much needed to turn effect.We think. He mentioned the men of
elections had and conquered assembling as amilitia, fought back against the British who
wanted to take away guns and gunpowder. These are others. These and
other citizen militia laws demonstrate that contraryto the idea of firing capacity upper limit.
(19:07):
There was a legal obligation for theaverage citizen to have at least twenty
rounds available for immediate use. Thatwas a legal obligation back then. There
were no upper limits. There werefloors, and the floors were well above
ten rounds. I'm gonna just includethis, but what he wrote to conclude
it, I think we as Americansreally need to hear this. He concluded,
(19:30):
arguing that the Second Amendment was,and this quote was, was a
freedom decided long ago by our firstcitizens that valued individual rights over subservient security
of a monarchy or the smothering safetyof domestic lawmakers. That freedom, that
this freedom was worth fighting for duringthe revolution and worth preserving today. Our
(19:52):
government solution to a few madmen withguns is a law that makes into criminals
responsible law fighting people wanting larger magazineto apply to protect themselves. The history
and the tradition of the Second Amendmentclearly support state laws against the use or
misuse of firearms with unlawful intent,but not the disarmament of law abiding citizens.
(20:15):
That kind of a solution is aninfringement on the constitutional right of citizens
to keep and bear arms. Nowthose are the words of a federal judge
that I love to hear. AndI'm going to add one thing that I
did not know, but maybe someof you did not know this. They
went back and looked at the dictionariesthat were around in the seventeen hundreds,
(20:36):
even before the Revolutionary War, andthey said, even before the Constitution was
ratified or the Second Amendment was added, the dictionary definitions of the time defined
arms is in the right to keepin their arms as and here's the quote
from the dictionaries any musket and bennettsaber, holster, pistols, carbing,
(20:56):
or any array of arms, andany accruitements necessary for their operation. And
the founding fathers understood that the ammunitionwas obviously the most necessary accruitment for successful
operation of a farm. So basedon that history, I don't see how
any of these magazine bands will standif it gets to the Supreme Court.
(21:18):
Wow, that judge is I mean, he has been thoughtful. I mean
his rulings have been logical. Youjust hope it stands it But you know
what, John, it doesn't.It doesn't even seem to matter. I
mean, these these things make theirway to the Supreme Court, and you
get favorable rulings. Yet these statescontinue to do whatever the heck they want,
(21:40):
and it's like a constant battle ofit being tied up in courts.
Well, it's right right after thishappened in Oregon in a in a circuit
court in Harlem County, a circuitcourt judge, uh, just has heard
closing arguments over organs. They saythey have the most restrictive and I along
the country with what they've included,but they also have the measurement. Uh.
(22:04):
That's it's called Measure one fourteen iswhat their law is called. Similarly,
bands magazines holding more than ten rounds. But he's got sixty days to
make this decision, and I knowhe's going to be considering what Benito said
to the south of him in California. But it didn't stop Washington, the
state above Oregon, and their federaljudge. And guess what judge very dempty
(22:29):
Joe Biden to pointee, would itsurprised you that she's against the firearms.
She denied the motion that was filedup there. What she said was that
large capacity magazines are not arms.Arms of the guns, and they really
aren't arms. So it's okay tonot have said anything. I guess you
(22:52):
could do a one round magazine.But she did do. This really left
the sliver of hope because the judgecalled for a thor Will review of the
historical record of gun regulations and expertreports concerning what prior government viewed as arms
under the Second Amendment. So she'dprobably heard about the Benito thing before she
made that. And it's going okaywith the bruin going back to the history
(23:17):
and we know what the history ofthe country was. It gives me a
glimmer of hope that someone else lawswill fall. Wow. JC, let's
jump to the bottom of the hourand news. When we come back,
We've got a little bit more newsfor you. I want to talk about
an NBC four story, and we'regonna hear from our man on the street
at the Columbus buy Back, GunBuyback. We're on Target breadcasting live from
the studios of LPD Farms Range.You'll be back right after the break.
(23:38):
Welcome back to Target. I'm yourhost, Eric Joint today in the LAPD
studios. I got big ed tomy right, I got little pap up
to my left. Mister Chuck Douglassnot here this week, but he will
be running the show next week,and I have JC on the line with
us j C. Before we goany further. Two things, Edward,
do you want to give this quickChicago? Has it gotten any better than
Chicago? This week? I'm holdingout hope. Forty eight five murders this
(24:00):
year, two thousand, three hundredand fifty one people's shot and this last
week fifty one people. Oh,fifty one people. That's not bad,
sad. So since I'm not gonnabe here next Saturday, I'll tell you
what it's gonna be for next year. It's gonna be one hundred and two
okay for the week? All right, all right, that's probably a pretty
good guess. Something else too,before we go any further. Two talking
(24:21):
about guns of the week, Actuallyit's not necessarily a gun of the week,
as much of it is a reallykind of neat cell of the week
if you're in the market, evenif you're not in the market. We
have some trades that came in thisweek. I think we have ten or
fifteen of them. Edward has beensitting here in front of yes, three
Rickey T specials. Then there yougo. They are Glock twenty through twenty
(24:45):
twos, so they're forty calibers,but they are in excellent condition, very
nice. They are gin fours.They have three mags and get this you
ready night sides two ninety nine,two ninety nine for a glock with three
hags and there you go. Yes, So if you if you're in the
(25:11):
market, or even if you're notin the market, we do have a
handful here, probably ten to fifteenof them, and by one and then
also uh lights t l R twoh LG's if you're not familiar with that
light. It's a four hundred andsome dollars light. It not only is
an extremely bright light for watching thereon Facebook, but it also has a
(25:32):
green laser which you don't always see. Excellent condition. Those are here too.
Normally these lights go for over fourhundred dollars head two twenty well until
we sell the rest of them.So yeah, if you're in the market
and stuff, it's a great,great deal on either of this. You
just took out my night vision,Eric, it's up, but it is
(25:56):
night vision. Are you you meanto put you down for one? There?
JC, That is the deal ofthe week. And if I had
not just purchased from you a newsig in that caliber that was a trade
in. I would be there,you know, like a hot potato man,
I'd be there. Uh, thisis really a deal. So I
(26:18):
wouldn't be surprised if you would sellall these by enda tomorrow. I mean,
that's a great deal. And andpolice guns are seldom used. This
a Gen four excellent, excellent firearm. They're seldom used. Very few shots
have probably been I bet they haven'teven been fired two hundred times, do
they have? They have a mandatorythat they have to fire three hundred rounds
through them, Eric before they're they'reused. I know, if you have
(26:41):
your personal gun, they want youto have about that many rounds fired through.
I didn't know about issue guns.No, they and I don't think
so. I mean they could beokay, mintal, but I mean the
one that Dad has here, itlooks new. I mean it looks in
that good come with a case.Well they come with the case and three
mags No. Two ninety nine.When can you get it? Got yep?
(27:04):
So JC one story that it was. And well, first of all,
before you hit your next story here, you know, we're always talking
about the assault on gun stores andthe gun industry this week, and I'm
just going to give a one lineron this this week. Quick books pop.
Oh you know quick books, right, We use quick books here at
the store for some of our backend accounting. Quick books. They they
(27:26):
came to their senses and said they'reno longer going to disallow gun stores in
the firearms industry to use their product. So for a while there they were
kicking out gun stores and anyone inthe firearms industry because of the industry,
and we're going to set them offfrom using their products. Really, it
(27:47):
didn't it didn't affect us. Wedidn't. We didn't get hit on it,
but we were keeping tabs on it. And they came back and JC
you had more info, and Ithink, well, oh yeah, I
mean they did affect some. That'swhat brought it to Light Texas gun store.
They went to issue paychecks and thenjust shut their whole system down.
And they had they said for weeksthey had to write personal I mean they
had to write checks, paper checks, because without any warning they closed them
(28:11):
down. So it got up,of course to Ted Cruz, Texas,
who happens to be a senior memberon the Senate Finance Committee. I believe
that's the Setate finance. K Anyway, he checked into this and it turns
out that this inuit was being kindof controlled by JP Morgan and the Bank
of America, and they said theBank of America simply said, don't don't
(28:34):
allow gun stores, sellers of gunsare manufacturers to use this product. And
of course the Bank of America deniedit, but said why would we do
it? And we were told no, you gave us an order not to
do that. But apparently JP Morganand a Bank of America, if you're
dealing with those, trying to dealwith another bank because they are truly anti
(28:56):
guns. So anyway, because thatcrew has got involved and they said they're
going to be monitoring what's happening intoit is now that systems up and running
for all store owners. So wow, to see one of the story you
had to get to about. Andthis is a big one. Also California,
as I mentioned, he signed almosttwo dozen and a gun control laws
(29:18):
and one day Gavin Nuisance, Imean Newsome did and this one he signed
a law raising taxes on guns andammunition to pay for what he says is
for school safety. I don't knowhow much we'll go there, but this
is this is a big deal.They will. Part of that bill also
was to ban people from carrying firearmsand most public places in California while doubling
(29:45):
these taxes. So there's already tento eleven It depends on the gun.
I don't know which ones, butthere is it or ten or eleven percent
a federal tax on firearms and ammunition. But he's adding another eleven percent on
top of that, making California theonly state with a separate pass on all
(30:07):
guns and ammunition. This is uh, this just flies in the face of
what the bruined decision made, andall these states of the antigun states are
trying to do every single thing thatthey can to do that. So here's
what he said about it. Heeven said, oh yeah, he said,
(30:30):
I know that that there's a lotof laws out there that I just
signed that they're not signed that survivedthe legal challenge. Now the Supreme Court
has posted a new standard that's brewin. But you know, it may mean
the federal courts are throwing them out, but that's okay. I'm just gonna
go ahead and start passing them anyway. I mean, that's the type of
person there's running for president of theUnited State. He wants to run for
(30:52):
president. He hasn't announced it yet, but I think everybody knows he does
so anyway, So they've already hyou know, the California Rifle and Pistol
Association already assued to block one ofthe new laws, and that was the
change their concealed carry permits. Andnow get this, I mean now they've
been people in California, even withthe permit, from carrying guns in twenty
(31:15):
six places. I mean the publicparks, playgrounds, public demonstrations, gatherings,
gatherings, public gatherings, whatever thatis, thesement parks, churches,
banks, zoos. But to oneit gives me any other privately owned commercial
establishment that's open to the public unlessthe owner puts up a sign that says
(31:36):
guns are allowed. So that hasalready been struck down in New York.
But he doesn't care. Let himspend taxpayers money and stuff. They haven't
struck down again. But that's whenhe passed so that you so JC you
would have to You could only carryinto an establishment if they had a sign
on the door saying, hey,you can carry gun here, is okay?
(31:57):
Right? Yeah, Oh yeah,I gotta go down and grab some
milk to this morning. And look, you can't go down armed. If
the if the if, the stopand go doesn't have a gun. Every
single place you would go, it'sthe dry cleaners, the you know,
the stores, market shopping. Theywould have to display a sign that says
(32:17):
guns are allowed. So it's justcraziness out there to land the fruit and
nuts. But he's one of thelargest, so absolutely crazy. Hey,
the story just popped up at thetime, just really quickly. Uh,
this is something big because it's goingto go to the Supreme Court. I
just found out about it. ButSCOTUS is going to consider a challenge background
(32:42):
check that they did in New York. So New York says, hey,
we're going to do our own.Every time you buy ammunition, you have
to have our state police do abackground check on you, and you have
to pay for it. So it'syou have to pay for gun nine bucks
two fifty every time you go tobuy some ammo. And this has now
been pushed to an emergency was filedas an emergency petition to SCOTUS and it's
(33:05):
been assigned to of all people,Justice Clarence Thomas who was the author of
the Brewing decision. What his decisionis going to be is whether or not
they should take it for a fullSupreme Court hearing. Are just reverted back
to the lower courts. But that'scoming up too, and that just happened.
So hopefully have faith in Clarence Thomas. But you know, you never
(33:30):
know how these things are going towork out. So that's right, Jase,
as we go into the break,and I'm gonna let you talk about
an event to consider here October one. You know, I don't know what
I'm doing tomorrow. I think youshould put this on your calendar and everybody
out there as well. Music andmutts at the American Legion Post five thirty

meeting Edward Well other than us Jamontwo back in eighties or whatever. This
(35:00):
is our theme song. And itcame and we haven't talked about this for

owners are on a highway to hell. I figured let's go with it.
If we're going, we're going,let's go. We're taking him with us
too, that's right. That wasthe vice president of the ANYA of the
(35:21):
Teachers Association said that on the road. What doesn't he know? John?
How do you know this stuff?Like? I have to look at it.
How do you know it? Youknow? Well, it just get
some stuff sticks with me when itcomes to firearms. You know what he
counts on everywhere? You know whathe counts on. He counts on us
not knowing if he's saying the truth. So we can't prove him wrong.
(35:43):
We can't prove him wrong. Thatis valid. That is valid. But
she is a vicious person of whatvice president? Okay, what I was
gonna go down to some place Ishouldn't anyways, guys, it is the
Columbus gun buyback Day. We havea man in the street there, Chuck,
Chuck, are you are you outthere? Hello? Chuck? Oh?

Here are you there, Chuck?Hello, I'm here. Can you
hear me? Oh, we canhear you, We can hear you.
What's going on down there? Well? On the way down over to dude,
(36:31):

Now it's packed, so you're inline, you got Do you have any
good deals? But yeah, there'sall kinds of good deals. Unfortunately,
we have some of our city brothersin their cars. Thank you. Sure

(36:54):
side deal going on there, soso that I expect you to bringing back
all the cash I gave you.Then well, yes, sir, Well
you know so, Chuck, thisstarted at I think ten o'clock, so
we're now pushing one. We're supposedto be almost over. I mean,
were you anywhere. It's close togetting to a point to being where it
(37:15):
was at according to my deepts I'mlooking at I'm over on Garfield Fuckingham.
I have to make a right turnon the next street, go back about
three blocks, I believe if I'mmust this right, and I've sent you
a couple of pictures there, Imean it is just blocked up all the
way. So it's going to bea success. Well, I don't know.
(37:38):
Hey, if they don't run outbefore I get there, Hey,
Chuck, can you tell whether thepeople in the vehicles are a bunch of
felons or are the good people goodlooking people? Well, it's mostly like
you're hiding pickup truck the suv withWell, my car is in line here.
(38:02):
Wow, have no felons yet?The wow, Chuck, you got
to be careful out there with thenrerouting you did you? Uh? You

Wait, thanks for calling in andkeeping us updated. Let us know
(38:22):
if you ever make it to thefinish line there. Uh, And that
is Chuck our man on the streetin line at the buyback with Columbus play
you guys tomorrow. It should beall cleared up, I mean, the
violence on the street, all ofthat. According to the mayor, whoop,
we should be good, is gettingexactly what he's been asking for,
(38:43):
right, guns off the street now, all you good liberals are turning in
your guns. Yeah. He's gonnahave a tax hike to pay for all
this, right, just like that. I wonder, I wonder if he
has an express lane for felons,you know, come over here, cut
in line first. That's about justlet them out. What they said,
according to the News this week jC that they're hoping to get illegal guns
(39:07):
off the street. And I sentback in. I said, can you
help me with what's an illegal gun? I mean, I don't if someone's
stealing a gun, chances are they'restealing it to use it. They're probably
not turning it in, right it. I mean, well unless they're done,
I would imagine all of these peopleare bringing in illegal guns. Right,
that's wants right. I'll get theillegal guns off the street and save
(39:29):
the kids. And here's the thing. You know, they made a big
deal about this this week. Everyday at nine Bethel Road is gun by
Back day. You come in withthe firearm you're looking to trade or sell
right here. Every that doesn't haveto be once a year for the news.
Every day gun buyback except Mondays willclose day. However, if you
(39:50):
come in as a felon, youwon't leave well, bitchally well that one
guy didn't by that. I meanmost people leave yeah, well with handcuffs.
Yes, yes, okay, that'sjust craziness. You know, we
make light of it, but it'sjust it's just mere craziness. Speaking of
craziness, guys, I want toget into this last thing because we didn't
get to it last week. Andyou know, we work with all the
media. We've always had an opendoor policy, and I have a good
(40:13):
relationship. I can call up thereporters and say, guys, that was
bad, and we have a goodworking relationship. But there's something I gotta
call Channel four out on happened abouta week ago. Marcy's Law, Right,
this is the law that was enactedI think a year or so ago,
and it was intended to prevent therelease of names of crime victims,
good or bad. I'm indifferent toit, but that was the intent.
(40:35):
Well, all of a sudden,law enforcement now has determined that these officers
who were involved in life or deathsituations and have to use their firearm and
a deadly forced encounter, they werethe victim of a crime that caused them
to use that firearm. So thesedepartments are all worried that, hey,
we can't release their names because itwould go against Marcy's Law. So for
(40:57):
good or for bad, I don't, you know, have an opinion on
if that's how it should be ornot. But Channel four decided to do
an in depth story on this.The title of the story, Okay,
a hurried change to a law meantfor crime victims. Now shield the identities
of officers who kill. Wow,officers who kill, not officers who had
(41:22):
to use their firearm in the courseof their jobs to protect themselves or other
It's officers who kill. I mean, how irresponsible is that? But it
gets worse as you read down throughit. One of them they're talking about
they said, you know. Amongstthese examples are the high profile case of
twenty one year old Takia Young.This is the one out of Blendon Township
(41:45):
here recently. She was an unarmed, pregnant lady. Unarmed. Now ed,
if you're not live in this worldthat we live in every day and
you think unarmed, I'm thinking,well, how can you legitimately shoot someone
If they are unarmed, they musthow can they be a threat? True?
(42:07):
That is what the station wanted youto believe. They're unarmed man,
that those cops they're just shooting peoplethat are they're not threats, which is
a bunch of bs because she wasarmed with a three thousand pound vehicle.
And they go on to say,well, you know, Blendon Township,
they withheld the officer's name because missYoung grazed him with her car. Grace,
(42:29):
when you think of grays, Dad, what do you think of well
before there is a different I wouldassume. I'm just guessing here. If
somebody right, if you have apicture and it's on camera, right,
if you have a picture of boththe officer's feet, both of his feet
(42:50):
off the ground, what they're sayingis a graze, it's merely a gray.
A couple of news. Let's getColleen Marshall on the right. The
thing was is I called I calledthe reporter on this and I said,
guys, extremely poor choice of wordshere. I mean, at the very
(43:15):
least, if I'm giving you thebenefit of the doubt, a very poor
choice of words, that this protectsofficers who kill. And they said,
well, you know, yeah,that is kind of a bad choice of
words. But did you think itchanged anything to this day? You pull
up the article, it's a bunchof crap. Did you talk to the
reporter? I did? And whatdid that person say? Yeah, with
different perspectives? And I said,wait a second, she had a vehicle.
(43:39):
She was armed with the vehicle.Look up the definition of armed.
It doesn't say it has to bewith a firearm or knife. It's armed
with an instrument intending to do harmor to defend yourself. It's just crazy.
By the way, I was grazedby that pen. He's grazed.
I was hoping to if you didn'thit me, it would have been a
(44:01):
big difference. Yes, So that'sthe only thing I was trying to point
out. We should show them thedifference between grays or being struck. Guys,
it is. It's been a fasthour as usual. Thanks for sitting
with us for this last hour.Next week we have Vince buckles on talking
everything you want to know about AKforty seven. He is a phenomenal wealth
of information. You're not gonna winamidst that. Be careful out there.
(44:25):
Let us know if you were atthe buyback and Paul Paul, as they
say, let's be careful out there.
