His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and sheep. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seemingly farm and keep our country deep and dead. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors. So their children will be your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. You regain the freedoms for which we fought and died. Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children fear? Most sons of the Republic arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republican each God-given right To torture freedom as Iowa keyed vanished in the mist for once he came His words were true not free But we have ourselves to blame For even now as tyrants trample each God-given right We only watch and tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep And wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep What would be your answer? If he called out from the grave, dill the land at the street. the first time, thanks for tuning in to Liberty Street Radio and Indiana Freedom Talk Radio. And you know it is that strike down the middle of the week if you look at that piece of paper on the wall or open up that kitchen and there's that thing called the calendar there. And with that in mind, if you look right through that empty magazine well, if you look down through the top or up through the bottom when the slide is locked back and with an empty magazine well of the 1911 in one hand and a full magazine in the other hand was a silver magazine well. release and now we've got one in the chamber too. We can tell you that's a hot gun, that's a condition one gun, but it's my gun. I'm not going to bother to prove it to you. We will tell you it's a weapons Wednesday. The perimeter needs some attention and I'll tell you if you keep pulling the lever on that reloader, you can say like I do right now or rather repeat after me, there's plenty more where that came from as you top off your magazine. And then, back in the empty magazine, well, hey it is a weapons Wednesday. I get the perimeter needs some attention, doesn't it? I'm Don Butcher and we're going to run with this because, you know, hey, it's my gun. Okay? On this weapons Wednesday. You know, you hear that one, that 1911, the magazine gets filled and the magazine well gets filled with a full magazine and the slide goes forward carrying one into the chamber and then it becomes, you know, that condition one gun. And it's held right up here by the receiver, you know, so that you can hear it. You know, if I move it farther away, you can barely hear it. So that happens right in front of my face. I'm really glad there's never been an accidental discharge when that slide goes to battery, you know? Because, well, it's not so close. The slide would break my nose or the howler would jump into my pocket, land in the crook of my ear and burn it. Just, you know, it would be rather startling, so close to the face when you're trying to bring that. Live, that's not something we run from tape. The reason why I have three shorter bullets for my 1911 that I need to shoot before they get any shorter. Now we've addressed this before, upload the things I want to touch on here, but we've addressed this before. You know, you take that duty gun, the gun that comes home, and if at night, and well, sometimes you never unload your gun for a while, paying attention to it, you might not unload your gun until, well, we're going to shoot today. You know? It might be even a week, but you know, things are right. You should be able to depend on that gun to come out of the, you know, under the arm, off the belt, wherever, and form the task that's stacking the mag. We've talked about all kinds of things, but We could run in so many directions here. Hey, let's do this, you know. That one that you hear, right up here by the mouthpiece, the little speaker on the phone here, that's not so much. That's an intimidation thing, you know. It's a display when it's done at the front of the hour and it could be determined in different arenas as even a challenge. So, I don't mind. I do it. Hey, make of it what you will, okay? But you hear a bite on that 12 gauge the bartender lifts it up, you know, that's a freezes for an instant and it's like everybody, what's that commercial about? When the 12 gauge everybody listens or when you drop one way over there that you never hear the bolt slide to or even if it's a semi auto gun that's the long range, you never hear that bolt slam closed. The one that's way over there, we brought this to the hour before this thought line. But we could put some goofy thoughts on it like, the one way over there that you never hear the bolt close on, you never, you know, it's just, it's incoming and somebody's dropping and all at the same time you realize that because there's that smack and the, someone's falling and the rifle right there, you just hear it behind. And then, no, We've brought this thought to the hour before because if you stand in different circles sometimes you're standing around with different people and you're shooting with this group and you're shooting with that group. We're shooting with a group of people and a couple of them were cops way over at the other end one time and they came over to watch the big gun be shot and oh I don't want to shoot that gun and contrary to a lot of them they want to shoot the big gun you know the 50 and the thought came out that well if Well, you couldn't shoot me with that gun from a thousand yards. You couldn't shoot, what do you mean? Well, when I see the muzzle blast, I'll just move and by the time the bullet gets here, I'll be out of the way. Now that's into the point of being, you know, just this side of... Why? Because that's assuming that you're looking right at the gun or in that immediate direction. We've talked about acute eyes. Eyes that are the best of ability of humanity. You know, that can see that reflection off the zero and see that saddle that in the daytime next. paint this pinpoint of light in the sky. To say, oh, when I see the muzzle blast of that 50, I'll just move and he'll hit where I was standing. You could never shoot me with a 50. That's ridiculously stupid. So again, I have to point out, it's not so much the one you hear the bolt close on. It's not so much the one you hear the slide operate on or the barrels get clapped closed on. It's the one you never hear, right? This is why we have eyes. This is why we have, you know, instruments that enhance our ability to look way over there. Understand, that also enhances that shooter's ability to look back at us, right? So, you know, it's a mean old world and it has to be fair and balanced, doesn't it? My father's been urging me to bring that phrase over, so it's a mean old world, isn't it? And it has to be fair and balanced, right? just walking along or someone just happens to walk along and see you and you know deploy the someone called a tripod a tripod the other day why it was a AK and it had a it had a tripod on it talking about somebody that was a shooter and I think it was that guy that to other people it had a tripod it was a bipod it had a tripod on it and well deployed the tripod on your on your you know your AK and you lay down over the gun and you'd take that distance shot for that caliber or and farther away, but you know it's the one you don't hear. It's the one you don't hear, the initial, you know, the slide. That's the one that creeps up to a position and takes a shot and down the reverse slope or walks back to the center of the building and by the time he's at the other side he's a different profile and that's not real hard to do. Mark talked about that as of late, but that's not real hard to do. The profile, just the overall changing the shape or whatnot, he He had a shirt with a collar, he had a shirt without, you know. We could run in so many different directions, but you know it's the one that you don't hear. That's the one that's a bigger threat. This is why we put felt when big bodies of people are moving, right? On their eyes and ears to be the one just over the horizon, the one just over the hill, around the corner, through the thicket, right? Something's been on my mind as of late, and I gotta do this because, well, I just steal a few strings of melody from a few people and think about, let me do this, casualties at dawn. And if you think about, it's not a directional dog and the other guy and casualties at dawn. And then another one jumps to mind and shot through the heart. That's the end of, there's still some culture, a modern day culture that has But you know, you guys, if you grew up even on the tail end of the 50s when for a while Gunsmoke was I think the longest running television show on television, you know, on television, not to be done with the use of the word, but Gunsmoke was one of the longest running TV shows. What was it about? Let me see, it wasn't about typewriters and it wasn't about wash. Gunsmoke was the title of the series every Tuesday night or whenever it came on. It might have come on Tuesday, I don't remember. But I do remember sitting there watching it with my grandfather and sometimes my uncles and my father and Gunsmoke. In that time frame, how does that song end that starts out in the West Texas town of El Paso, how does that song end? And I have one of them just by chance, came across an album. that was made in right around 1960, 1958, 1962. And I'll have to dig it out because it's vinyl and all the vinyls put away. On that album, made by a guy you'd recognize his name. And again, I'll have to dig this out so I can tell you the name of every song on that album. And I can tell you the name of the musician that recorded that album. And I can probably tell you the name of the, you know, every song on that album is about guns. In one way, shape or form, and somebody getting shot or somebody shooting somebody or, you know, every song on that album is about a gun. In one way, shape or form. This is, you know, highly unaccepted and the ability of your average weight, you know, guns are being applied. The West Texas of El Paso, we could talk about the North Illinois town, Chicago, but it's involved in our culture now. Think about that, and I'm going to have to find that album. I know where I have a whole bunch of vinyl stacked up, detected, but that artist's name, and I can't for life, I mean, remember one song on that album. But I do remember that every song on that album was about guns. Now, it used to be a lot more ingrained, and guns used to be a lot more x-sides across the board, even to where your mother may have captured her foot to one of the, too long time ago, and if not, maybe your grandma, or your father, or your grandfather. I hope they play that again today on the radio. Are you looking for Marty Robbins? It might be a Marty Robbins. Marty Robbins is done on... That was West. That was that... Texas Downhill Passo. Yeah, I can't remember the name of that song, but... That's about how that song ends, right? Right. It's killed. It gets killed, yeah. Yeah. And it's a song, and in that time frame it was, you know, probably hit number 10 at least. You know, it was so popular that it still played today. I can reference it. You know? But it used to be a lot more ingrained in the culture, not in the way that it is now. It was just accepted. You know what I mean? Now, perhaps it's that acceptance over long term and whatnot that has brought it to, you know, like the North Illinois town of Chicago. Yes. We grew up as Cisco Kids and Ranger. You get, you know, gun smoke, with dentists, I don't know what you're saying. You just hit all of these and, like you said, with the gun culture, and that's his kids, you know, Saturday or Sunday morning. What we, you know, we can, you know, you got, it's like the one day a week you have to eat breakfast in the front room, you know, and watch us. And, you know, in black and white, where, and if you had to change a channel, well, you had to get off your duck and go, You had about four channels anyway. It wasn't a trip around the dial, you're right. No, it wasn't, but it's a good time to land. But you had on there, and I can't even remember all the other ones. He had combat that used to come on. And your father is all riflemen. There was a good action series right there. As soon as you said that, I remember one scene where this Mexican guy was in town and he was a pistol, had the rifle, and the Mexican knew about the man with the pistol comes across the man with the rifle, the man with the pistol loses. So he didn't say that, but he challenged Chuck to, we should not shoot each other, we should, and we're not going to get down and roll around in the ground like animals. I will let you hate me and I will hit you. And Chuck once and Chuck hit him and it was over. I remember that. As soon as you said that, Fluffy, that C popped in my mind. I'm sure that we, you know, we grew up with, and think about it, you know, Chuckie didn't go up and down the road. I don't remember his character. Mike, I think, in the... He didn't go, you know, up and down the post road robbing people. You know, he was the guy for right, like as mentioned, the Lone Ranger. Now in movies, there was never anybody, almost nobody who ever did more right at a sidearm than the Lone Ranger. All of that culture that we grew up with, that guns, you know, aren't bad and guns are a good thing and can save lives and everything, all that's been turned on its head. The only way you hear about guns now is, you know, how many people they killed. I did hear the other day at some place up here in northern Michigan, somebody came through the door, oh, it was on the radio, Mark broadcast this one. And somebody stepped out of the room for a second and came back in with their gun ablaze and shot two or three of the people, every one of them armed that came through the door. You don't hear that on the mainstream media. We've brought to your example the book by John Lot, The Media Biased Against Guns. That book is almost three fingers thick, you guys. That's a pretty thick book, hardback bound, not in the paperback. It's a pretty thick book. That book is packed with examples of a gun saving somebody's life, a gun thwarting a crime, a gun making some criminal turn and run. that never made it to the mainstream and offering up in the same time frame, in the same time frame, the stories of, well, this gun killed seven people and we still haven't found the person who did it. More people, if the media would cover, more people are, more people are saved by gun action every day, every day, and people are shot by guns, both, you know, on purpose or accident or fell in the five gallon bucket. I don't have no disrespect to that. I didn't, I shouldn't have done that. References over to infants that die falling into a five gallon bucket and drowning. And that happens more than infants that are shot, accidentally. But the government doesn't outlaw five gallon buckets. They told you, the media told you every time, every day, how successful someone was in just in your area defending themselves with a gun, chasing someone away from a crime with a gun. Even when the criminal had a gun many times, many times, There would not be this bias against guns. But the media bears that bias, so they're not going to bring those slot lines to you and foster a good relationship with guns as far as, you know, well, the guns can be a good thing. When you hear about guns in the media, it's either, you know, the machine gun on some, you know, this, that, or the other fictional show, or a gun crime. You never hear about the crimes that were stopped by a gun, and they happen a lot more than the gun crimes. According to John Lott, you guys, if you ever find that book, Media Biased Against Guns, you should read it. Perhaps I'll read you some examples out of it sometime. When that first came out, someone connected with the author sent me that book. And we should have him up on the air. I think we did maybe five or seven years ago. But I'll try to make that contact again and bring him up on the air. And that book is just chalk. to steal that phrase from somebody of examples of, well, grandma got her gun and saved the family. Many examples like that, some of them when people got their guns and helped police in gunfights that never even made it to the news, even the local news. So again, the media biased against guns, the media has really changed. And if, you know, Fluffy, you mention it and many of your listeners, you guys that chimed in, you're old enough to remember that time frame when, you know, hey, there was nothing wrong with guns at 8 o'clock on Tuesday night. Or, you know, 7.30 on Friday. Or 9 o'clock on Wednesday. Or whatever the big, when was Bonanza on? Bonanza was on Sunday nights, wasn't it? Prime time. And what was that they had on their side? Walt Disney's Wide World and often times they ran that series that was about scarecrow during the American with the British to hear his name. You can find that on the old Timey Channel but I'll have to look that one up. But again we've seen this in our lifetime. That 180 degree change in stance of the media on guns. Now if you don't think that the media has any influence, well look at the Kennedy Nixon thing and look at the election. eight years ago. What was that? Palin and McLean from Arizona? And didn't they do everything but beat them? Didn't they do everything but, you know, brain them with a bat? And that's a poor reference because, well, we've been using the Walking Dead as a reference sometimes. But didn't they do everything but, you know, just brick bat them? Brain them right there on television? And then coming up to this media, cast your feet now, you know, that tell you it's fair and balanced. Oh, oh, thank you, Father. My father's been telling me to bring that phrase to the hour. We're fair and balanced. But this media that would tell you it's fair and balanced and shows you 15 minutes of pictures of Donnie scowling or Donnie talking about this or saying something that someone didn't like about that and one minute on Hillary's treasonous email, other things, one minute. compared to 15 minutes of Badmouthed Donnie. Now we brought that to you four or five months ago when Donnie's people made that study and brought it up. But it's been brought up by the mainstream now. It's not Donnie's people that are talking about that. It's other people that are trying to point this out. They can tell you turn off the television and quit watching this and that and read books or watch the old timey channel. But you know, that's not going to bring you up to eat, is it? Yeah, I watched Gunsmoke. I saw every series and then Bonanza, every one of the series and everything. I really appreciated how they called the Chinese the Celestials there on Bonanza. But you know, most of the people these days aren't going to watch that. Most of the Millennials are going to watch that because that's old timey stuff at any rate. I thought I'd bring that as a reflection, as a comparison. the mile markers, so to speak. We can run that in a bunch of different directions just unto itself because, you know, I would say, I live here in the country, if I step out of the front door, there's a house directly across the street, 45 degrees to the north, and there's a house directly to my north about 100 yards away. See a house through the trees at the northeast, 185 yards from this window to their front door by a laser. But that's all I see if I'm right at my place, you know? But if I stepped out of the door here in the springtime, I was fortunate enough to acquire an AR-15-type pattern gun that is heavier than an M1. This thing's got a barrel on it that runs out to the handguard. It fills the handguard inside. And then it's got a nice sized barrel out there that some people say is that's not a bolt barrel is it? And it's got lead in the back, it balance out that so much weight in the front that when you pick the rifle up it feels balanced in your hands but it weighs more than an M1 with no dressing on it. You know an M1 with no fur, you know anything. Just a bare M1. I bet you it weighs more than an M1. It shoots one hole and shoots one hole and shoots one hole. At any rate, a couple weeks after I acquired that, I stepped out of the front door here just as it started the sun got the other side of the trees you know the sun wasn't down yet but as soon as I would have stepped into the road I'd be standing in that heavy shadow you know and I had the gun on a sling across my shoulder I opened the door the big door turned and opened the screen door and turned and pulled the big door closed and turned and closed the screen door and as I stepped down the stairs and it's just about the time I centered the driveway and started to walk across the culvert there. A gun came off the shoulder, off the sling. And my neighbor had a couple of friends there and I heard one of them say, machine gun. And they both turned and went in the house as fast as they could. But I was walking outside to look down the road to get a good long range, to look through the two different apertures of the rear sight. So I could get a measure of how much light comes through this looking through those shadows there when I'm standing in this shadow. And just as I walked across the culvert, the tube under the driveway and then you're out in the road, one of them saw me and said, machine gun! And they both turned and went in the house as fast as they could. That was kind of funny to me. Because I wasn't walking toward him, I wasn't brandishing the gun in any way, shape or form, and we're out here in the country, we're not, we weren't in the city, and here's a M16 type evil pattern gun just appearing out of nowhere, threatening the crowd, the roof in the mall or anything like that. Damnedable mesmer box. As soon as they saw it. Machine gun! That was the first image that came to their mind, that profile of that ARM-16 type pattern gun issued to citizens in the M16 type pattern form and all of that. But as soon as they saw it, one of them saw it, he re-registered in his subconscious, ran out to the front before he could even probably stop the thought. He said, machine gun, wet in the house as fast as he could, him and his friend both. Now the next day I was over there and I told my buddy across the street, you know, he's only been here a couple years. He's a neighbor. He's not, you know, like he's a neighbor, you know, I can't say he's my buddy. He's not, you know, my dear close friend or anything. I walk across the street, hey, how you doing guy? And, you know, I mentioned his name and I won't mention his name for security purposes, but I called him by name and, and, uh, I told him the story, I just told you, and he said, man, I can't understand it. Those guys, they're ridiculous. That's exactly what he said. That's the image, though. You know, in the country, a guy walks out of his house with a rifle, no matter how ugly the profile is. The guy walks out of his house with a rifle and starts walking down the road. He's in the country. The reason to panic. What's the reason to panic? The media. No question about it. I never threatened those people across the street. I never said anything about I'm gonna get you I'm gonna go get my machine gun. I never said anything like that. You know what I mean? Never brought to mind But then again that goes over to well Maybe those two those two guys friends of the guy across the street the friends of the guy that I know they don't know me You know, so maybe that's that unfamiliarity that immediately brought up to machine guns You know, in about like, like, like, uh, Fambarni, buh buh buh buh buh, beating their feet, you know, they were in the house. It's true. I had to generate that image and I knew, you know, somebody's gonna laugh at it, but I'm laughing at it myself. That's the image that's generated now. Man, you just, you just, you know, hold it out the door and they're, your neighbor's probably gonna order everything but a nuclear strike. Bring in the helicopters. You know what I mean? Now, those are, and this is out in the country, and there's not a whole lot of people in the country. I don't know if this guy's friends, they rode up from Grand Rapids or down from Cadillac. You know, a lot of people in Cadillac appreciate guns. That's kind of a country, small city. Cadillac isn't a great big city, you know? Like the big city, like Grand Rapids or even bigger, like Detroit, where, man, you couldn't walk down the street with that M16-type pattern gun on the sling on your shoulder. You probably wouldn't get to the end of the block before three or four cop cars showed up. So I can understand, and now we talk about location, location, location, you know, to a certain extent, I can understand that, but out in the country, just that reaction, machine gun, and buh buh buh buh buh, running in the house like Fred and Barney, man oh man, from the media. You know, 30 years ago, Had I done that one of those guys probably his eyes would have got big and it wouldn't have been from from Surprise or fear it would have been man I want to go over there and I want to hold that gun and maybe he'll let me shoot that gun and he's got a gun look at that gun Let's go over there and see if he'll let us shoot it and I want to hold it now I want to I'm gonna pop magazines in and out of it and I want to slide the magazine in and I want to get the feel I don't want to look down that I want to look across that blade and through that notch and I want to hold that gun man and You know what I mean? Maybe I'm a little bit, maybe there's a little bit of exaggeration in there, but you see the difference, don't you? You witness it. The media. The media has done all of this. Blame them, they're guilty for it. The biased against guns is brought to you wholly and totally and presented to you like, you know, 20th Century Fox. You have to talk about that, who runs the media? Yes. I think it's like down here in Arizona. It's not only, we were talking earlier about Chuck Conger and the Rifleman and stuff, and there were certainly a lot of John Wayne movies and everything back then as all that. But adding to the gun culture, what we saw as children, there certainly was a lot of gun play, if you will, even in the cartoons, like with Yosemite Sam and Elmer Fudd, where it was It was accepted that it was always there. How many times Donald Duck did Daffy Duck lose his head? Get his bill driven back down to the top of his neck? Get two of it out of the back and he'd reach behind his head and swing it back to the front. Turn it right, he'd be okay, yeah. And I think we're hunting wabbits. Yeah, lastly wabbits. But oh yeah, there was, and you know, there was even, I don't even remember what it was, but somebody would be, walking and there would just be a black and white cartoon and and you know, you're my feet are killing me and all of a sudden the boot chips would roll back and two stick shooters would come out from the front of it and just start opening fire and it's just it was accepted and Not anymore. It's that hype. Those the psychiatrists that say, you know before the American child is 13 years old he's seen 12,000 murders on television, you know and blame that on, oh, this is why we are the way we are today and we have no limits and people just don't have any respect for anybody or no love of life or anything. We can blame that on a whole bunch of different things like, well, there's no little blue primer in the primary schools, so Bible in school now. How many people, look up and down your street on Sunday morning, how many people stay home today? How many people don't go to church, take the family to church anymore? And now we're running over into, you know, what are the morals of the nation, aren't we? So we can, you know, do that, but time frame, you guys, a lot more people went to church than do now whole families. It's just one observation. I remember when they used to have the Ten Commandments up on the wall. You know, if thou shalt not kill, if you're not reminded of it, maybe eventually that thought line even just goes away. You know, if you're not taught that, well it's a means to an end just out in the world, isn't it? I like those kind of shoes. It's not an exaggeration, isn't it? You know, we can look at it. We could reflect on it. We could say that this is where we are today and remember the good old days. But that isn't the point of this. The point of it is that if you recognize it, You know, to run a completely different comparison and maybe it'll grab, maybe it won't, I wasn't a real problem drunk, but one day I just realized that this isn't good for me and the people around me because I was a belligerent drunk. You know what I mean? One day I figured I should quit doing this. I'll bring this as an example, not as a personal example, but across the board. You know what? Drunk doesn't have a problem until he wants to change. A drunk doesn't have a problem until he recognizes the problem. You could put this in so many different categories. The person who just can't help but every time they go to the store for a loaf of bread and come back with seven other things. The compulsive buyer doesn't have a problem in the world until they want to change. Anti-gunner people, they don't have a problem in the world and we probably aren't going to change most of them. they don't have a problem in the world with what they're doing. They really don't. We probably aren't going to change lots of them. There might be some of them that one day they come across a circumstance and wish they had a gun or perhaps they're rich enough that they deploy their automatic welding crews that have the guns, like the people who've tossed guns, security people around them. So there are so many different measures when we look into this. But when we look at that, degradation of the respect of the gun over the years because America used to have a healthy respect for the gun. If you look at it, think about it. Now if there's no more respect for it than a slingshot, as example in Chicago, there's no more respect for the gun than a spitball in Chicago. Tard into the shape of a gun and get... Oh, I think that sometimes part of this has to do with children raising children and clearly the media has a lot to do I'm not saying that it was delineated, but I remember when Kennedy was assassinated and it was no big deal where in Christmas time we'd go out and underneath the Christmas tree there'd be this long box and maybe it was a quote unquote poi gun even though there's no such a thing. But it was a wooden stock and it had a metal barrel to actuate the bolt and there was a little replica of a cartridge in there. And this whole national history area that would turn them in and they had barrels outside of the forest and stuff that people just went in there. And I remember my dad, he's sweating, nope, had to take all our quote unquote toy guns and put them up in the attic and we weren't allowed to close anymore. And it's easy to sit here and say where did this culture come from, whether it was Columbine or Kennedy or the issue, but it's just not only necessarily where it came from, but where are we going? That's the point. I'm not sitting here lamenting. I'm not, you know, just saying that, oh, this is a problem. I'm trying to point out the change. And, you know, there's that word that works in here that the Communists really love. I could put it in here, that gradual change. their agenda forward and slowly they move it another inch and we push it back an inch and while we're not looking they push it their way two inches and when we look again we don't notice or at five we say how did that get there because all of a sudden well there's you know 30 count 30 round magazines are banned and all of a sudden now we're looking at someone who would do that again and ban even more and say that you can't own it outright how did we get to that well and then that that makes the next The question is, Hillary sits here and talks about common sense gun laws and stuff and it's like, what is it? So what's going to happen? Well, you know, the next time something happens and it's like this evil, whether it was the cop killer bullets or the Saturday night specials or the assault rifles, well, you know, the gun hole loophole. And it's like, well, you know, we just want some common sense stuff. So we just have to get a handle on who owns what, the old registration confiscation. But oh, those are conspiracy theorists that they're going to sit here and say that this is going to happen. But I assure you that these things aren't going to happen. But if you just, we need to figure out where these things are so we can, and then what we want you to do is go down to your nearest police headquarters and you need to but they're not going to take them away from you. It's not right now. Well, but you see, they're just waiting for us to die off because all these maroons would have been propagandized with Columbine and children raising children and there's this daily propaganda that, oh, and if we just get rid of the guns, they never tell you that criminals have guns and that's why they're criminals because they're not going to go down and register them. That's right. They don't want to give up that advantage, particularly if they know that we have to. Hold them to them. State, where they've brought in a concealed carry on demand, violent crime has gone down. Every state, media doesn't want to touch that with a 10-foot pole. Media doesn't want to say that out loud. But this only examples that. I used to say it, you know, if they just let America carry, a lot more respect for people would be a lot more respect for each other pretty quick. Granted it might be a rough two months or six months and on occasion you'd hear about somebody expecting somebody, a respectful nation, you'd hear a lot more please and thank you and yes sir and yes ma'am. The thing though is that whenever these things are going to be put in signed by the governor then all of a sudden, oh no, it's going to be the wild west. People, they're going to be in a traffic accident and people are just going to be, and it never happens, but they never back off. It's always that propaganda before it happens. But then when it doesn't happen, they don't retract their statement. That's again, the media bias. So, you know, we could bring up all kinds of examples, but you know, the one thing here is how does that go? Stand firm, hold your ground, don't give them anything. When it comes to your gun rights, don't give up, not one of them. They've taken so much from us. You know, the Founding Fathers wanted to keep the average citizen on equal footing with any army that would come here. That was a decision in the U.S. versus Miller when anybody wants to sit here and talk about the militia and guns and assault rifles. Well, the United States Supreme Court ruled in U.S. versus Miller that the militia was required to have Basically, whatever the wording of it is, a reproduction of whatever modern firearms that were present at the time. They want to say, how is it that the media, because they just want to deny technology because we used to have muskets and then we had bolt action and then we had semi-autos. But you know, I just find it odd that the news media, that they don't want to hold themselves to the same standard. So when they want to hold the people in the Second Amendment, we used to have, you know, we used to have parchment and quills. So are we going to deny the news media computers and faxes and emails and blogs? Okay, yeah, yeah, that'll communicate my horseback. They're really lucky and they behave themselves. We'll let them communicate by telegraph. There you go. Thank you. You know, that's like limiting magazine capacity, isn't it? We're just about at the top of the hour here. You guys, thank you for your participation this evening. One thing I want to say here, I'll get to the night vision thing in a moment, but you guys remember many of your old enough, they probably still don't know if they sell GI Joe anymore. But you remember when the original GI Joe came out, he was about a foot tall. He was like 112 scale. or rather one sixth. It was about a foot tall. As the GI Joe thing progressed, you know, you could get the German GI Joe and the Flyer and the Diver, the Scuba Diver, the Hard Hat Diver and all kinds of things. And then you could get a GI Joe tank. Man, I think it put, if I remember, like six double, you know, D batteries in it and it would roll around the block a couple times. Then you'd have to put more batteries in it. Then you had to follow it too because it was cable. remote control. But the next thing that came after the GI Joe remote control tank, maybe some of you remember this, I remember it because I got one for Christmas. Joe Bazzi. Now I was about four feet tall at the time and this thing was almost as tall as me. And when you loaded that plastic round into it and pulled the trigger, it sent that plastic projectile about 80 feet over there! Two or three houses away, you guys! That was really cool when you were like eight. Like the other side of the world. Yeah, exactly! That was like when we play war, I'm gonna win, you know? But that toy was only available for one season. For one Christmas, I remember that. I got one for Christmas. I don't know if anybody else out there remembers that. A bazooka. You know, that's better than a Daisy air rifle. I have to bring that just as an example because today you get a squirt gun, you know? You're lucky. Your parents don't want to lead you into that. Gun culture, gun for Christmas because he might go up and buy a real one. He might go up and buy a Barbie. You're right, you guys, you know? There's a great difference in the time frame for somebody mentioned John Wayne, but since John Wayne, we could talk about John Wayne and who he dedicated his book to, but that image of John Wayne, since then you guys, we've gone over to throw sex troubles, which is, what the hell is that? I don't know what it is, but we're septic. And now it's like they want me to sit down to urinate. So you know, how does that phrase, the standard answer for that should be, you know, the word, but urinate on that. That's a man's answer, isn't it? You guys listen, you know, there ain't a whole lot of us left. I said the other day, I'm 61 years old, if I make another 20 years, that'd be a gift from God, that'd be 81 years old. I think I'd be 81 years old and still be able to grab some of these guys out here that are 20 and 30 years old by their ankles and whip them over my head for a few times and when I'm done say puny god. You know, I could say what's the world coming to but I'd say stand your ground and try to, you know, hey, you got a grandson? Tell him about John Wayne, just don't tell him who he's gonna kill, okay? If you want some night vision, go over to the website and look at the see gun sites galore. If you haven't, go over to the website, that's Y-D-T-O-E dot U-S. If you have any questions like what's the real price, here's a hint, it'll be cheaper. Give me all my numbers, two, three, one, seven, nine, six, eight, four, five, eight, nine, and you know, hey, six. It used to be done the old school way, three simple sentences, and I'd do that out of respect, nice public stuff.
