Episode 178: The Slippery Slope
There’s a lot of talk right now about passing new gun regulation reforms, i.e., gun control. We have to be careful about how these issues are approached. Some even within our community are okay with some of these so-called “common sense” laws. We have heard people say, “What are you so afraid of? We’re not trying to take away your guns!” Today in this episode we break down why this line of thinking can be dangerous and how you can approach the issue with friends, colleagues and even family that dare venture down the slippery slope.
Episode 177b: “Good Guy With a Gun” a Myth?
We hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving. Over the break there were so many new stories that we just had to talk about, we split this episode up into 2 parts. Enjoy this part 2 where we talk about the discrimination Facebook is committing by restricting and shutting down firearm related pages and ads. Also we dive into an article written by an Army veteran and gun owner that tries to reason that the whole “good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun” premise is just a myth. But we follow that right up with at least 2 JUSTIFIED stories from the last week that blow holes right through that ill-informed statement!
Episode 177a: The Liberal Gun Club
We hope you had a fantastic Thanksgiving. Over the break there were so many new stories that we just had to talk about, we split this episode up into 2 parts. Enjoy this part 1 of the episode as we talk about anti-gunners calling upon webhosts to shut down e-commerce sites that sell “ghost gun” kits and parts. Hear our take on this attack on our rights. Also we discuss one major gun manufacturer that appears may be in trouble with the “Trump Slump” occurring in the firearms industry. But the top story is one based on a video about The Liberal Gun Club that is a place for non-traditional 2nd Amendment supporters.
Episode 175: Road Rage Turns Into Deadly Shooting
Last week we told you about the war on guns that is building and is coming. This week we see skewed and biased reporting from Quinnipiac University with a poll about support for an assault weapons ban. We see so-called journalistic publications asking for donations to help them publish more content on guns, gun violence, and gun control because where it comes to gun control “we just aren’t doing enough.” We have a Republican-controlled Congress that is afraid to do anything on pro-gun legislation for fear of it not being good for “optics.” So instead they feel they must do something, and some Senators and Representatives are getting on board with “low hanging fruit of common sense regulation.” At least Michigan is doing some things right as last week the Senate passed a bill that reduces the number of “Gun Free Zones” and this week the House passed a bill for constitutional carry. Follow along, and don’t forget the powerful lessons to be learned from today’s JUSTIFIED stories.
Episode 173: “Hand Over Your Weapons”
The war against guns and gun rights is just getting started. Election results across the country last week weren’t favorable towards the 2nd Amendment. Virginia and New Jersey have new anti-gun governors. Media outlets are suggested it is a referendum against Trump and because the voters want more gun control. Is that really the case? We’re not so sure, but one thing is certain…this battle is continuing on, and we have got to educate and motivate people to understand the “gun issue” and get on the right side of things.

Episode 171: Texas Church Massacre
It is a solemn day in America. But heroes walk amongst us. And the fight for the Second Amendment is more critical now than ever even as we see Republicans in the House considering removing the deregulation of suppressors from the SHARE Act and more gun control is called for from the Michael Bloomberg gun control lobby. We cannot let our guard down!
Episode 169: Good Guy With a Gun Stops Child Abduction
The former NPR Chief “comes out of the closet” on gun rights. The anti-gunners are dealt a blow in Illinois when a bumpfire stock and trigger modification bill failed to pass the House. Even a few anti-gun Democrats wouldn’t vote for it. Meanwhile Mayor Bloomberg’s Everytown is pouring millions into Virginia State elections. His efforts will likely fail as they have elsewhere. Plus DO NOT miss the story of a Las Vegas man that stopped the kidnapping of a 6-year-old boy because he made it a habit to always carry his gun on his person. It also was not hte first time he had to defend himself either. Riley and Jacob discuss at length, check it out!
Episode 167: Mass Shootings Not Rising Study Says
A recent study from the University of Illinois shows that even with Las Vegas and Orlando fresh in our minds, mass shootings are not in fact increasing in terms of frequency. We found this study to be quite interesting as well as today’s other fascinating news out of Australia as we look at the results of a national amnesty gun confiscation program that yielded far less than we’re sure they hoped for. Also FIVE great JUSTIFIED stories from which we can all learn from.
Episode 165: Universal Background Checks Ineffective Study Shows
Some pretty big news out this week about background checks. A three year look back at the effectiveness of universal background checks in Colorado and Washington forced the author of that study who “wanted to see a different result” to admit that there has been no measurable impact on crime reduction. This plus tons of other great analysis on many other stories including a couple of JUSTIFIED stories that have some critical lessons to learn from.
Episode 163: Las Vegas Shooting, More Gun Control & the NRA
Besides some incredible JUSTIFIED defensive gun use stories, be sure to listen today for the update analysis and following of the situation surrounding the Las Vegas/Mandalay Bay Shooting as well as the gun control debate raging on in Washington D.C. and across the media’s airwaves. Speaking of D.C., there’s some REALLY exciting news out of the Court of Appeals that covers the District of Columbia relating to the issuing of concealed carry permits that is sure to make a bunch of people happy!

Washington D.C. Politicians React to the Las Vegas Attack
Let me just lead off by saying that THE LAST thing I want to do is turn the horror of what happened in Las Vegas into a political stance, rant, or otherwise. However, the news is the news and it must be reported on.
Washington DC is Now Shall Issue!
That’s right. Washington D.C. and her nearly 700,000 citizens are no longer demanded to come up with a reason why they need a firearm when applying for a permit any…
