...prevent the population of these states. For that purpose, obstructing the laws of naturalization of foreigners, refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands. He has obstructed the administration of justice by refusing his essential laws for establishing judiciary powers. He has made judges dependent on his will alone for the tenure of their offices and the amount in payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance. He has kept among us in times of peace standing armies without the consent of our legislators. He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power. He is combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws, giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation, for quartering large bodies of armed troops among us, for protecting them by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states, for cutting off our trade with all parts of the world, for imposing taxes on us without our consent. For depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury. For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses. For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province establishing therein an arbitrary government. Through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. 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, bought 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, 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. This is the land of the free, the 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 this. 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 shame to number. You trade it in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family 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 won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can 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 to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist of his His words were true. We are not free. For even now as pirates trample each god given right, we only watching tremble to stand and fight stood by your bedside. As he called out from the grave, dilled the land and the free and home. For training and you will come back alive. Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. This is the hour of the intelligence report. I'm Mark Korte. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. East, south, northwest, and north. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. We're also on satellite. I'm gonna say hi to all of our merchant radio operators out there and many more who are rebroadcasting us on KUC and also any and all of the digital and ad-log satellite cell phone systems out there, both as listeners and repeaters. We're on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. It is Wednesday. It's been Wednesday all day. It's been a rainy soaker Wednesday all day in waves, but mostly, well, with peaks and fits in squall fashion, but nothing where it was beating the ground to death. The only thing we have had is some wind coming straight out of the north right now. But otherwise, beautiful, wet weapons Wednesday. And again, perfect for the plants. My goodness, the corn is screaming. It is jumping. You can hear it in the fields. When it grows like this at night, you can hear it crack. And it will be constant nonstop from Sunday, well, even during the day. But it's easier here at night because sound travels more efficiently. But you can hear it cracking as it's stretching and growing so quickly and we've had a perfect combination of water. Anyway, it's weapons Wednesday. It is the 10th of July. This means that this is the one third of the month of July gone already. No way. Yes way, as a matter of fact. It is the 16th year of Open Obvious and the Newer Face, Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K, 2024 Old Earth Calendar, and a K. I'm a doctor, not a prick face. And 2024 Battle for the Republic, the Dance of Swords. Let the dance continue. We're going to make sure that happens. We're going to be the ones playing the music. And Weapons Wednesday, get your pens and paper ready. There's a bunch of stuff I'm going to reference here and give you location, location, location because this is definitely stuff that is most useful right now, especially for those of you trying to build up militia units and you're looking for better solutions and reasonable prices. Number one, although I should have brought it up yesterday, I don't know why, again, too many things going on. One thing I gotta say because I'm an immortalizer you've heard her on the air. She passed away this morning is Poofadoo. She was our one of our oldest, well was the oldest cat in the tribe on my four pod keyboard operators, although she was more my wife's cat and unfortunately she finally gave up the ghost this morning. We've been up all night. It's been kind of a long day in that respect. But you heard her. Sure her meow was immortalized along with some of her children. Over the years in the studio here in one form or another. So her voice, her small tiny voice was heard all over the world. A little cat, kind of a petit cat really. We used to call her the Baconator. She at a very small young age learned that the stove produced goodliness. And bacon was the key. So she would call her mom and dad. You had proof to do before I came down here to Texas. Yep. She was quite a little girl. And again, the lineage is... Before you move on. Go ahead, buddy. I've got to come up and say this. When you are having a problem with the sand clump, also there's some static. I'm trying to figure out where it came from. That's why visitors from the past was all broken up. You might hear some weird things while I'm working on it, but we should be streaming properly. I think I got the same cloud up and running and operating, but I need people to check on it and tell me if it's live and we read broadcast. Because we had it going on a read broadcast, and we just flipped it over to live, and hopefully it's working live and not on a read broadcast. Very quickly, on that note, in our ear, as far as my end, this interfer from the past through the regular ground feed, It sounded good. There was no, it wasn't a glitchy. There were parts where you couldn't have heard it, Dad, because it was unplugged. Okay, well I'm just saying, well, that's weird because I thought that I heard all of it. I was actually repeating, I was talking with it. Okay, well, I don't know how you heard it because we had a problem. I had to unconnect and reconnect things and we've got some static and kinds of things. So if you have anything weird that's been messing with that, it's probably not going to be a comment, okay? Again, we've got to do some of the fly because, well, if any feedback does help, anybody listening runs into something unique out there, especially our rebroadcasters, you know what to do. You can chime in either directly. If we lose the feed, you can chime in. That's a good idea because this is quick as any other method that could be done to correct a problem. And Edward is dealing with it right now. So again, heads up on that one. And it is weapons Wednesday. And it is 14 minutes after they are, just so that everybody has benchmark there. Anyway, we are going into the weekend already, because it's Wednesday. We have to count this as the beginning of the weekend for some of the training operations that are going to be happening this weekend. They're actually quite critical. But I will remind everybody that whenever we find equipment or material that is very, very useful and it's probably not going to last, it's a good idea for us to jump on this stuff. So first of all, a lot of you people have the... I mentioned that yesterday. Remember the boffing radios along with many, many others. Well, there is a pouch. You probably may have bruised or brushed by while you were looking at one site or another. It is a kind of a P-shaped Cordura bag and it is an excellent solution for all of you listening that are using any of the handheld radios. I mentioned this before but I've got an example of the used model and these things have a lot of life left in them. They are used but they are more than serviceable, no gacks, no tears. They have had some miles on them. You can get brand new if you want from the same source. Now again, over at Sportsman's Guide, that is sportsmansguide.com. It is carrying case A and PRC 148 V bracket C. These are made in the USA, probably under the later government mandate that 100% U.S. material need to be used, etc. They're Cordura, they're black, that's the, you know, again, black is not an issue for me, I mean, because we use everything. But what's fascinating is there are two inner pouches, there are, well, forgive me, there are one, two, three, four pockets under the main flap. There's also a pocket. that sits and empties horizontally down below the small that's perfect for a number of items that you would recognize. You recognize the need for the pouch real quick. However, what's interesting about this pouch is it has four primary retainers. They're squeeze snaps to hold the lid on, which is good because you're not going to lose anything critical. But the pockets, uh oh. I'll take that back. I just opened one I didn't open and I ended up with a completely extra handheld radio pouch. Cordura US Mill issue radio pouch for free. It came along with it. Maybe there's one in every one. I just had to look. I missed this. However, there are two primary pockets big enough to hold any model of handheld ball thing that's out there or lots of battery packs depending on the type of radio that you're using. There are two pockets big enough. In fact, these pockets are large enough you can slide in 240 count AR-15 mags and they would probably the same with clothes on them. But in addition to that you've got a front pouch that's about Oh, I would see four and a half inches by about five and a half going to six inches. And then there's a long tubular pocket down the side, which is perfect because I just put two of the folded tactical belfang antennas, the larger, longer, regular mil-spec type. This packet will hold your batteries, it will hold the radios, it will hold spares, including like your headset, whatever else you might have, or you should say, you've got buds, voice to talk, mics, whatever you want. And down below, if you want to put a little charging unit in that other pocket, you could do that because there's space. These are an excellent pocket pouch for the price. They're not small. They're not overly large, but here's what's interesting is on the back they have a belt hanger on the upper part that's just a loop type, and they have another hanger like that down below. So there's a number of ways this thing can be hooked up, but it's designed to use Alice Keepers, and because of where they put the Alice Keepers, top and bottom, this pouch will probably fit perfectly on the standard medium or standard large allis pack on the side panel slips. You know how you've got the grommets and you've got the back, you know, the back hole, the back slip so that you can either, you know, you can hang them as steady on the side of the pack and slip it underneath the cross bars, the nylon cross bars. Guess what? This will hook right up to those. So, there's a number of ways. I will also easily hook up to a number of the different MOLLE backpacks. I already experimented on two of them. But the Alice Keepers, now the only thing I would say is I'm missing one on the one pouch. I'm not going to cry. Most everyone I've seen has four. And if you wanted to use these Alice key, Alice hangers on your belt, you want to, you know, in this case I just slide one up high because I'm missing one and I wouldn't care. But for these these pouches there the cost now Marguerite's talking about talking about how trouble we bring a cost up here The US mill and PRD Cordura pouch and this is the used one is three dollars and fifty two cents now that's the discount price with the member price There's also a 15% additional discount you can get in the catalog or if you get on their mailing list, as you know, email list, you always get these additional, hey, you know, double your regular discount, etc. But for $3.52, you can't build this thing. You can't even come close to building this thing. It is very well built. It's a heavy gauge, heavy wall pouch to begin with. Again, if you guys are looking at tactical, especially the Balfang VHF, UHF radios with the extended battery, this is a perfect pouch for that system. It would be used for any number of other radios. I could put two Motorola Command radios in here side by side. Put all the accoutrements in the pocket, put the tactical antennas in the side along with additional antennas because I want spares. And this is a self-contained pocket ready to carry. So it would be hooked up to your rig if you wanted any tearing spare radios. Which by the way, when radios are so much lighter, why not teary spare radios? If radios are so much smaller and lighter, why have just one? That's my argument. It's like, wow, you know, it's like you don't need point something out. The APRC-25 and the 77 uses the same battery. When they first came out, any of you ever carried the brick? Now, it's a 25 pound plus or minus radio, depending on the junk that's on it. Good radio. I will never bad mouth radio. It's just, you know, it's a pile of dead weight. The batteries take up the whole battery can. Basically, again, as designed. But needless to say, there have been advances in batteries. So in about, what was it, 1979, 1981, right around there, we started getting the new batteries in, and they're half the size. Well, that means we could lighten the radio up. Nope. Nope. That means you could carry the radio with a battery hooked up and a spare battery inside the battery box. Because they halved. In fact, they more than halved. the thickness of the radio battery. So the same is true, okay, you've got these neat radios that are out there. This kit, this could actually be carried as even by stacking the radios if you disassemble them and stack your spares. You could put two bulk yanks plus spare battery packs in each of the pockets. Have the front pocket for all your accoutrements. Have the side pocket for all your tactical antennas. Especially the fish tape type and then use a pocket for even a wall work charging plug or whatever else you want maintenance a maintenance box Whatever but for a three dollars and fifty two cents. It's let's see the number card is one zero four two one two. It is US mill ANPRD Cordura ouch. These are used And again, I've already had a number of them used, but these look great. And again, so far, at least one. Now, maybe both of them do, and I just didn't look that close. I've got to open the other one again. But this one came with a second pouch on board that I didn't expect because he didn't say anything about it. So this probably just got stuffed in here off somebody's combat rig. And it's a standard Molly type pocket. pocket pouch for the upper left shoulder normally is where everybody's carrying those. So pretty cool. And that's over at Sportsman's Guide, but that's not the only thing I was going to mention today. So one more time, US Mill ANPRD Cordura pouch used $3.52. And in addition to that, they've got the French triple grenade pouches two pack. This means you get two of these pouches for $5.73. So it's $2.65 or so. per pouch. These are worth every penny. They really are for your smoke or CSCN grenades, but what we're doing with these is using them with our medics. And each of the pockets, which is designed to, you slide the unit onto your pistol belt or onto your utility contact belt, say on the bottom of your vest, they let you have these, don't have much on that belt anyway. And it has a thigh tie so you can put it around your leg and lock it in place, tie it in place. But these were using for compressed pockets. And there are three pockets. They are horizontal to the ground. They're parallel with the ground in terms of their size. They're shorter. than they are obviously. Well, they're shorter top to bottom. Let's think about it that way. You do see them in World War II movies or images of paratroopers in World War II. The French made these things, God knows how many they built because this surplus has been around for 30 years. And even when the company brings them in, sells out, you know, what, 100,000 of them, there are still more showing up. So the French have got these somewhere piled up like cordwood. But they are a good pouch if you're listening to your medic. However, if you also need a better pouch for carrying your CSCN grenades and smoke grenades, then this pouch is an excellent choice. And one more time, it is the French Triple Grenade Pouch used, but you wouldn't know it, can't tell. None of them that I've gotten look like if they were used. They may have been opened up, rattled around in the supply shed, and then put back in the box. 2-pack for $5.73 and the item number is 075212. Now last but not least, and this is Weapons Wednesday, they have what they're calling a double mag pouch, which is a double, it's a two pocket pouch. These are woodland camo. They're Italian, you know Italian. An Italian military double mag pouch, six pack for $9.44. Once again, these things are just a slide on the belt kind of pouch. They could be used with any tactical rig pretty much you've got out there. If you've got any of those French 1980 to 90 CCE camouflage vests, they have a belt on the bottom. Once again, you can put any kind of alleskier you want on them. But if you wanted to add a whole bunch of extra pouches, at least a couple, these pouches are perfect. They simply have a slide-on double hanger belt loop made out of nylon. They are a cheap, simple solution, but the price is right here again. Six-pack, but the six of these double mag pouches for $9.44. If you're doing a 5.10 program and you're using the Alice gear or any of the other surplus suspenders that are like that along with a bunch of the surplus pistol belts, this would be an excellent way to throw in a bunch of cheap mag pouches that would do the job for the troops that don't have anything. And again, that's over at sportsmansguide.com. It's Italian military double mag pouch, six pack. Again, these are new, unissued. I've got a bunch of them. They're unissued. And the item number is 09C314. 09C314. So if you've got an AR, you wanted to stick a few mags on a belt or put them on a belt that you could use as a hanger around your, you know, like a Confederate belt. Put it over your neck and hang it, you know, on an angle. These pockets would be perfect for that. They're lightweight. They're not super, super heavy. But they, again, are using a Velcro closure. You're going to hear that when the time comes. Hey, hey, can't be choosers. Be like that again. Okay, we are close to the bottom of the hour and I've got a long break. If you want me to play it, 15 minutes from guns and gadgets. There may be an ad or two that will play in the middle of this. I don't have the ability to stop it right now, but it would be a good way to test the audio to see if I've got everything worked out. It's 15 minutes. Yeah. The title of the video is old boy Republican parties remove second amendment from the national platform. Big deal or no? Oh, interesting. Well, again, first of all, I was saying what I was saying to many people over the last several days, if you're expecting the Republicans to do anything right, if they took power, you are wrong. The Republicans are going to, the Republicans are going to do the same Kabuki theater they've always done. They want power. They want power. They want power. Then when they get it, they forget how to do everything. They fumble screw. They put a stick up their arse and, you know, while they diddle themselves from the other direction. and tell you all about how things are so complicated, you just don't understand. They're so complicated, we can't do anything. Every time the Republicans get a clear majority in every in-house Senate and presidency, they fumble. They had this with Trump, absolutely screwed it up. Demikins get in there with an absolute slim majority, and they screw the country left and right. So you know what the difference between the Republican and the Democrat is? The Republican does it openly. The Republorette is supposed to hold the stage, you know, keep the curtain open until the Democrats can get back in there and finish what they started. So I'll tell you what, let's do that. Go ahead. I want to bring this stuff into your attention because you often are my sounding board where I gauge the temperature of the Second Amendment community. The gun owners here, the 700 plus thousand in our community here on Guns N' Gadgets. And if you want to join this community and know about the Second Amendment as things happen, subscribe to the channel down below. It's free. It doesn't cost you anything. But what has been, what's being reported is kind of important because the RNC, the Republican National Committee, they have removed the Second Amendment from the party platform. What do I mean? Well, basically every four years when the national conventions happen, you know, for the presidential election. the parties, both the Democrat and Republican, they will adopt a party platform which tells their voters exactly what that president hopes to accomplish in that four-year term. They do this in advance of the election, obviously, at the national conventions so that people will know basically what the party is going to try to accomplish. And what's interesting is I'm going to show you What the Republican, the RNC, Republican National Convention approved and adopted in 2016. They didn't redo it in 2020, so that one carried forward. And what they adopted on Monday, but will actually be in... actually be installed next week in Milwaukee at the Republican National Convention. They removed the Second Amendment from it. I want to show you first what it says, and then I want to gauge your... Is it something we need to worry about? Because some people, ever since it came out Monday with the change, some people are really upset about it, some are like, yes, it's not really a big deal because these are... It's just words on the paper. Although words on a paper is kind of what got us in this problem because nobody really respects the Constitution like they should, you know, with their life. But I'm gonna... Let's talk about it here. First off, thanks to CMMG for sponsoring this video. CMMG in Boomville, Missouri. They make phenomenal tools, you know, like the mutant over my shoulder and certain things you can't say anymore, which is crazy because we're talking about freedoms right now. And CMMG... Make great things here in America led by great people and the owners through the ATF so that alone Support them and you can use code G and G 10 to save big on anything over at CMMG Right. Here's the Republican platform from 2016 the one that was It's technically still in effect until next week and it's a 67 page document But if you go down to page 20 you see this the Second Amendment, our right to keep and bear arms. We uphold the right of individuals to keep and bear arms, a natural, inalienable right that predates the Constitution and is secured by the Second Amendment. Lawful gun ownership enables Americans to exercise their God-given right of self-defense for the safety of their homes, their loved ones, and their communities. We salute the Republican Congress for defending the right to keep and bear arms by preventing the president from installing a new liberal majority on the Supreme Court. The confirmation to the Court of additional anti-gun justices would eviscerate the Second Amendment's fundamental protections. Already, local officials in the nation's capital and elsewhere are defying the court's decisions upholding an individual right to bear arms as affirmed by the Supreme Court in Heller and McDonald. We support firearm reciprocity legislation to recognize the right of law-abiding Americans to carry firearms to protect themselves and their families in all 50 states. We support constitutional carry statutes and salute the states that have passed them. We oppose ill-conceived laws that would restrict magazine capacity or ban the sale of the most popular and common modern rifle. We also oppose any effort to deprive individuals of their right to keep and bear arms without due process of law. We condemn frivolous lawsuits against gun manufacturers and the current administration's illegal harassment of firearm dealers. We oppose federal licensing or registration of law-abiding gun owners, registration of ammunition, and restoration of the ill-fated Clinton gun ban. We call for a thorough investigation by a new Republican administration of the deadly, fast and furious operation perpetrated by the Department of Justice officials who approved and allowed illegal sales of guns to unknown violent criminals. That's one of the reasons I said, you know, it's just kind of words because that was 2016. Okay, that's the year that Donald Trump won. This is coming after the Barack Obama Joe Biden administration and how they attacked the Second Amendment. But a lot of the things they said in there didn't come to fruition. I'll give him credit. The best thing, the best thing that Donald Trump did in his administration is the appointing of federal judges, not just at the Supreme Court, but the federal judges who have helped to bring that needle back towards the center, specifically on the Second Amendment. Love them or hate them. If there was no Donald Trump as a president, there would be no Bruin decision. And we would be probably in the worst place now as far as what the government could get away with and how many things... Think of how many things that Bruin has kind of kicked in and gone ads. That wouldn't have happened. Alright, so that has been their platform. up until technically next week, but Monday when they changed things. Before I show you what it now says, I'm going to show you the last version of the Democrat National Platform. Because I'll give them credit. The Democrats, when they get their marching orders, they all as a group march toward that goal at all costs. Even at the risk of losing their own. They'll eat their own. to get to that goal where the Republicans just don't. They're technically, you know, usually they're just happy to be there. They don't press stuff. So let me show you what the platform is now for the Democrats. And theirs won't change, and they probably won't have a working version of it until the end of July or early August, because their convention is in August. Here's their 2020 national platform. That's still in effect. You go down to page 47 of it, of the 92-page document, it says ending the epidemic of gun violence. Gun violence is a public health crisis in the United States. Over 100,000 people are shot and nearly 40,000 people die annually from guns, devastating countless families, friends, and communities. We can and will make gun violence a thing of the past. Addressing the gun violence crisis requires supporting evidence-based programs that prevent gun deaths from occurring in the first place, including by making mental health care more accessible and supporting suicide reduction initiatives. funding interventions to reduce homicides and gun violence in neighborhoods GMCC era It's the truck get over 2,700 purchase cash on select 2020 to neighborhoods and strengthening protections against domestic violence Democrats will also ensure the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have sufficient resources to study gun violence as a public health issue, including the ongoing health care, mental health, economic and social costs that can affect survivors and their families for years. Democrats will enact universal background checks and end online sales of guns and ammunition, closed dangerous loopholes that currently allow stalkers, abusive partners, and some individuals convicted of assault and battery to buy and possess firearms and adequately fund the federal background check system. We will close the Charleston loophole and prevent individuals who have been convicted of hate crimes from possessing firearms. Democrats will ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons in high-capacity magazines. We will incentivize states to enact licensing requirements for owning firearms and extreme risk protection order laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from the possession of those who are a danger to themselves or others. We will pass legislation requiring that guns be safely stored in homes. And Democrats believe that gun companies should be held responsible for their products, just like any other business. and will prioritize repealing the law that shields gun manufacturers from civil liability. So that's still in effect, and they've done a lot of that. Of course, they haven't done that by the way the Constitution says, by each chamber passing a bill and then going to the president and having them sign into law because those are obvious violations of our Constitution. But what they have done is they have done a lot of that through administrative process. And I also saw this in the 2016 Republican platform. This rings true. This is what I was meaning by administrative process. Rule making. Our Constitution is in crisis. More than 90% of federal requirements are now imposed by regulatory agencies without any vote of the House or Senate or signature of the President. The current administration has exceeded its constitutional authority, brazenly and flagrantly violated the separation of powers, sought to divide America into groups, and turn citizen against citizen. The president has refused to defend or enforce laws he does not like, used executive orders to enact national policies in areas constitutionally reserved solely to Congress, made unconstitutional recess appointments to Senate-confirmed positions, directed regulatory agencies to overstep their statutory authority and failed to consult Congress regarding military action overseas. He has changed what John Adams called a government of laws and not of men into just the opposite. That still rings true, right? Over 90% of federal regulations are done now administratively because they can't get that violation of the Constitution done by law. We all knew it was a law, but over 90 percent. That's insane. Well, here is now, this is what we're all here for. What is the new policy for the Second Amendment for the Republican platform, the national convention coming next week? Well, here it is. This is in the preamble. This is on page four of the 16-page policy. It says here, to make clear our commitment We offer the American people the 2024 GOP platform to make America great again. It is a forward-looking agenda that begins with the following 20 promises that we will accomplish very quickly when we win the White House and Republican majorities in the House and the Senate. And if you go down to number seven of the 20 things they list, It says defend our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, and our fundamental freedoms, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to keep and bear arms. And that's it. It doesn't mention the Second Amendment again in the rest of the document. Now, some people, like I said, are really upset about this. Some people are like, eh, it's a nothing burger. But because I love you guys and I love reading the comment section What do you think about this? Is this something to be alarmed about? Will this change things? I don't... and to me this is... This is a nothing burger Some people, if we read different articles online, some people are saying that you know, maybe they've pared this down to the smaller document and streamlined what they want to accomplish because Right now, guns are a hot topic issue and because Joe Biden's been doing so bad that some Democrats have said that they will vote for Donald Trump or the Republican nominee who is going to be him, but not until next week. So maybe they pared it down so that it was less offensive to those maybe crossing the aisle or a lot of independent voters. I don't know, man. It's a lot of this is this is all strategy like when they put out these platforms it is a lot of people that go through this and plan and strategize and you tell me what do you think? Does this change anything for you? And hopefully you are one of the several people who have changed their mind and started to vote and registered to vote. Ten million of us. I will hammer that home. until we kick ass in elections. Because we all complain about like there's so many people cheating and there's so many people on the dead rosters that are still voting and there are so many illegal aliens that will probably vote. The 10 million of the gun owners in this country who aren't even registered to vote, if they just registered and voted, we would still beat the cheat. You know, even with all these people that were rushing in to try to get them to vote hopefully, if there were 10 million more of us voting against the infringements on the Second Amendment, we would still win by any handy margin. We'll see if people take that serious. VoteForAmerica.org. You can register to vote. GMG10 will save you 10% on all your things, all your things, including things like the mutant. which is phenomenal, phenomenal gun. I love shooting the muties. I appreciate you all. Be safe, stay vigilant, carry a gun to keep you, your friends, your family, your community safe. And to be honest, it really doesn't say what, it doesn't really matter what any of these platforms say because the Second Amendment secured a pre-existing right that's given to us by our creator. Just because we're here, we have the right to defend ourselves, our loved ones, our community. So this is a right that is pre-existing and it's not going anywhere, so we didn't get it from government. And we're not giving it up to government either. Take care. Guns and gadgets on YouTube. Take the time to go over, listen to the video, or show other people. Go through the others that are there, and give them a thumbs up. Doesn't cost you anything. Subscribe to the channel. That doesn't cost you anything. Change the numbers, even though needless to say, YouTube has been changing the numbers all on their own anyway because of the satanic pedo queers they have as employees. But they've cut off their nose to spite their face. Their business is in terrible shape. Who knows? You never know. At least we can demake the effort and then wait to see what happens in the long process. As far as confidence in the Republicans, I already said what I think I had to say there. I have absolutely no confidence in them whatsoever. Here's the one thing we know. Every time they get in power, they intentionally, as they're told to do by their fellow traveler lodge buddies, they fumble the ball. When Donald Trump came in, they had a quote unquote, they kept saying it's a slim majority, a slim majority, more than enough to get the job done. Look what the Democrats do every time that the, again, the powers that be get them in place where they want or as they choose to fiddle part and play the game. Because it is all kabuki theater slash pickle smoking mirrors. But the fact is that again, this time around, and I ain't going to hog, I'm not on tinter hooks. I'm not on the edge of my seat. I expect nothing in the way of performance from these turds because that is the consistent action on their part. Failure. Failure always. So I don't think it's going to change in any way, shape, or form. People, I think we're going to have the same old dog and pony show while the rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. They're trying desperately to plug in the global economy, BS, to try and steal our social security, what we paid in at gunpoint, because we didn't get a choice in that. They would tell you they would send somebody with a gun to kill you if you didn't pay into the system. They would murder you. And they're still talking about it. They just hired a whole bunch of the people to propose if need be coming to your home and murdering you. The first thing they show is everybody practicing with guns. I should tell you something about the dweebs and twits that they are hiring. RTG, Robert, TG, whatever, the RTG.com, RTG part, you know what, I actually probably should look it up, you know the name of the place, you've been there. They have all sorts of AK mags on sale. Big ones, little ones, old ones, new ones, different countries, tailored to this, that and the other thing. Robert RTG I guess it's called. But dang it. Royal Tiger imports. Royal Tiger imports? No, no, no, no. The place where you get the HK parts. That place. I think it's Robert RTG. Not Royal Tiger. Hang on one second. Go ahead. Do what you were doing. I'm going to go look at it. Yeah, we do actually need the Edros. I've not been well in the last couple of days. If the price is good enough, we might clean the place out. Everybody else out there listening. I don't know, $6 or $7 for an AK-MAX sounds pretty good to me. Which is, yes, excellent. The big thing here again, even with the shipping, it still comes down to... I mean, shipping is always a consideration. But again, if we're looking at that price range for AK mags, yes, we've got a massive number of AKs in service. By the way, again, as a reminder, weapons Wednesday, Palmetto State Armory is still producing, or is now producing, 100% American AKs top to bottom. So if you're looking for an AK, now it's not going to be the cheap, cheap, cheap prices you've seen with the import and surplus. But they are very well built. Palmetto backs their weapons up very, very well in terms of service and warranty on the weapons. So if you're looking for a solution with regard to the AK-47, Palmetto's their army for brand new. Of course, they do offer a number of different arms. In fact, they just offered a new pistol. I'm not always excited about the pistol, you know, chop down AR, AKs, and tiny tiny, but you know what? A lot of people are, and that's great by me. Guess what? If that's what you're into, they've got some really interesting things that they've just produced. They came out from one of the shows with some really good reviews on the weapons, and that everybody thought, hmm, that's not a bad idea. So, again, Palmetto is where you can find the primary arm. There are, of course, a number of different surplus arms out there in the system in terms of AK still available, but the prices are not what they were. That's the first everybody needs to understand that it's not the, you know, incredibly cheap and buy five and they'll throw in a bucket of magazines. Well, it's not like that anymore. But they are very serviceable. So here we go. We got Dar with us again. Jump in there, please. Yeah, it is robertrtrt.com. I have not been well. robertrtg.com. R-O-B-E-R-T-R-T as in tango, G as in gulf. dot-com They've got all sorts of a case stuff on sale. So we're get a K mags. They've got some pouches They've got a bulk loader for a K mags there. They're I think it's like 30 or 40 bucks off It's like 120 bucks more and I'd pay for anything but you know the thumb the little thumb How many mags can you load before that's the end of your digit falls off? Anyway, I just wanted to let people know about that in this hour and we could probably pop it up later on because I know a lot of people out there, especially the old covers, have got AKs and never have too many mags. Over. As a matter of fact, again, somebody was just asking, those pouches that I mentioned earlier in the program, I have not tested them. It is possible that the Italian pouch might fit a couple of AK mags. I'll check that out. and let you know because that's one of the issues that really is always a price issue is finding a reasonably cost-effective mag pouch for the AKs that are out there. There's tons of them in place. There are all kinds of different models available, but the price is always quite a bit more than the common AR-15 mag pouches that are available from any number of militaries. The older surplus stuff is now becoming collectible, so that means that the price is going crazy town and it will continue to escalate as it becomes more collectible. And that means that it will also be less obtainable and eventually become unobtainable as we know. We have seen this many times before with surplus. It is not a surprise. It's just the way things always go. It's a, first it's a dime a dozen item, progressively, the price goes off into La La Land. It's just the way the world works. Oh my goodness. And as a matter of fact, before we go any farther here, hold on. Oh, also, yes, one more time. The pouches I mentioned were at Sturm, and there are some other pouches, if you're looking at those AK mags, and of course, you also mentioned there are some pouches there. But if you're looking for other alternatives, yes, there are over in the clearance section a few mag pouches that might be useful that are the AK persuasion that are cheap right now. So there's a number of options there. Somebody's going, wait a minute. Well, would you carry an AK question mark? Guys, you've not been listening to my program. You must be a new listener if you're asking that. I'd say carry an AK at a heartbeat. We've got lots of them stuck all over the place waiting for the conflict. And here's the thing about weapon choices at each point in time through the last couple of decades and more. Most of you are coming into this game with limited funding to begin with. In the 80s and into the early 90s, well into the 80s, the SKS, when China was opened up, the SKS was $56 over the counter. with a case of ammunition, 1600 rounds, right here from one of the biggest companies that imported SKS as an AKs, right here in Michigan. It was $56 for a rifle and $56 for 1,600 rounds of ammunition. If you just bought those two items, you put yourself on the table. You didn't just have a few rounds to sneeze with, in other words, to get yourself in trouble with. You actually had a decent tactical solution. Now for another $56 you start stacking and racking those cases of ammo. Other ammunition that was Warsaw Pact surplus or Warsaw China Sport surplus was incredibly cheap carbine ammo. 308 ammunition started to come in. The 7.62x39 was first, 5.45x39 to a limited degree, and then 9mm macro. And also Tokarev ammunition. And Tokarev ammunition was as little as 3 cents a round. Now, at that time, that makes sense that if you could buy an SKS for $56, why does everybody, how so many people have SKS's? Well, because they were cheap. So you could have a whole crate of them. We know guys that bought cases, and were 32 a crate. You buy a pallet of ammo, then you buy another pallet of ammo, and you've got everything needed for a light platoon to at least get out there and bushwhack and ambush sentries, drivers, the odd little group of security troops that might be around. And every time you, let's just say, harvest one of those mobile resupply pods, you can change out or upgrade if that's what you want to call it to something else. Now, the SKS's have not been $56 for a long time, but here's what happened. The AK started to come in from China at $125 for a complete combat pack. When those Polytech and Norinco guns came in, they came in a styrene box that had the rifle, the chest pouch, magazines, including one for up the tube, Then still be able to fill the mag pouch you got the jag you got the cleaning rod Which obviously with the AK goes slips underneath the barrel? You got the bayonet You all depending on the model you had a folding band that it just flipped right up from underneath congratulations You had a pokey pokey thing and in addition to that you had the basic utility cleaning kit with a broken shell extractor broken broken case extractor so it's like He had everything in the box. Now what happened is, let it go, well I didn't have everything like that in the box, that's because usually the people selling it stole some of the lesser items or odd items out and put them on the table for another price. It was their way of offering the basic rifle and the basic kit for what everybody else was doing at about 125 to 127 a gun. Later, they went up to $200, $300, guys. But initially, when they came in, the guys would stack 50 or 60 of these AKs on the table, thinking that was enough for the weekend. They'd be gone by 10 o'clock in the morning at the gun show the guy would have to send either He'd have to have somebody else watch his tables And he would go back to his storage unit or back to his shop and go get another 100 AKs and put some of them all of them if he could on the table and they'd be gone before the end of the day Anybody remember those heady days? I do. Now for this reason, and because ammunition was still $56 to $70 a box for a case of 1,400 or 1,600 rounds, well you do the math and figure it out. The AK, oh by the way, you also got a speed loader. The speed loader guy. On top of everything else, use SKS stripper clips to load the magazines. Oh wow, that's kind of handy. here but progressively that weapon became not as desirable for the beginner or for the regimental units because of the price more on that we've come back we're gonna take a break here bless the republic with an excellent price that just made them whoa you couldn't afford not to buy it okay that's basically the way everybody thought about it it was a good thing because those weapons have not come back into circulation they're out there waiting for the war anyway we're gonna We're going to grab a cup of coffee and go to the bathroom and we'll be back here in a few minutes. Since we're going to the beginning. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. 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. The 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 and home of the 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 shame. You've taken Satan's number, you've traded in your name, you've given government control to those who do you harm, so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. And keep our country deep in debt. 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 won't be burned. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can 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'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave. O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and eat God given right. And pray to God, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each god-given right, the only watching trampled too afraid to stand and fight 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? Is this still the land of the free home of the free? And gentlemen, this is the... hour of the Intelligence Report. I'm R. Corky, one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. Southeast, Northwest, West, Northeast. The gentlemen, you're listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com and we're on satellite. Let's see, hide all our merchant-grade operators out there. No matter what body of water you're resting on right now, I know that we're virtual in every ocean on the planet. We are also the myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. And for that reason, again, I want to say thank you to our micro AM and FM rebroadcasters and the work that you guys have been doing for so many decades now. Part of our battery of freedom, the array of technology that we've progressively built up one step at a time, free and independent from the system, and able to function completely isolated from the system, which is why we work so well. Of course, we work a little differently from the way most of you would see commercial broadcasting. That's intentional. Again, because we've developed our abilities with user-friendly slash where the radio rubber meets the road, as I say. Where the sound meets your ear. You're going to hear pretty much everything that's going on simply because, again, we rely upon the listeners to participate in the process. And they do a pretty good job of it, by the way. Anyway, it is... Well, it's Wednesday. It is Weapons Wednesday. It is the 10th of July, 16th year of open, obvious and pissing in your face, Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K, 2024, old earth calendar. 2024 battle for the Republic, the dance of swords. Let the dance continue. We're going to make sure that actually happens. It is, again, pretty interesting. Some of the other technical jumps that have been made. What's funny, as we were talking about at the end of the last hour, and I promise we'll continue here real quick, At one point, different weapon systems have been readily available, reasonably priced, and are certainly combat effective. There is no such thing as an obsolete arm, by the way. That's for the purpose of selling guns, has nothing to do with any common sense when it comes to the operation of a fighting force. whatever a military force or a militia force or a martial force commits to is a viable weapons alternative. There are many different arms out there. They will kill you just as dead today as they perhaps did a half a century ago, but let me point out something. This is the year 2024, so if you're still thinking as if it was 1994, 50 years ago is Well at the end of the cold well no at the middle of the Cold War yeah, you know there was 1975 1976 you telling me that the weapons developed in 1976 are quote-unquote obsolete Are you gonna parrot that just because somebody else trying to sell more weapons is gonna try to convince you that? The latest and greatest is just oh so much better than whatever it is it was built before it doesn't mean that there aren't changes in the technology there are They're useful changes in some cases, meaningless, depending upon the application, or it should say more importantly, the needs of the force that's going to be using the tool in the toolbox. That's the most common mistake. Go ahead. 113 years ago, the cult 1911. Yeah. So you get on the doornail with one shot. just as dead today as when it was built more than a hundred years ago. Oh, and by the way, we saw some of the sci-fi movies. The 45 will be built way out into the 23rd century, especially if you watch the Aliens series. Remember? They're shopping for a 1911 on the 3D shopping channel. Anybody remember that from one of the later Aliens? So don't worry, it'll still be around. Actually, it probably will be because no matter how you look at it, as a steel or even steel and aluminum product, and by the way, don't forget there were air weight 45s made. Quite a few of them as a matter of fact. They're floating out on there. You never see them come back. It's not they didn't go bad. They didn't break. People don't get rid of them. Just a heads up. I haven't seen an air weight 1911 in years, decades now. And it's not that they aren't out there because one of the biggest air weight manufacturers, again, was right here in Michigan. And we almost bought the mold, the infusion mold, for their frames. I kicked myself in the ass. Could have had the mold, the infusion mold, which you could have shown what the price is on these things. $2,000. They decided not to do aluminum frames anymore, but they built so many. In fact, they were one of the first companies that also did way before you knew anything about it, you know, 80% frames, 80% receivers. Guys, we were doing 80% frames in the late 70s. It was one of the two ways to get a pistol into service without any administrative entanglements, okay? And they were out there in force. Aluminum obviously is a lot easier to work, but you gotta keep your tooling sharper, you gotta make sure you have the right tooling. And so they built hundreds of thousands. They cast all kinds of 80% frames, put them out on the market, and those guns have never reappeared. Just an idea, just a point. Anyway, fact of the matter is that The AK didn't come and go, the AK was here to stay. It's just that people finally were able to get hold of it. And it has not stopped having a following that is significant. Most people appreciate the fact that it's built like a brick doghouse and it keeps on running when other weapons will just flat out stop. Also, you can be pretty crude and rude with the finish on an AK and it will continue to function. Some of the radiest weapons I've ever seen that you swear to God that just can't work. the battlefield pickups from Vietnam especially. It's like, oh my God, I can pull the trigger on that. Yeah, I've shot it a lot. Of course, those weapons go crack, because they were brought back from Vietnam during a very fun period of our international experience overseas. Fact is that the AK progressively though it became more expensive So people are always looking for a bargain and in addition to that we also were looking at a martial arm The AK now was settled into the ranks as a standard along with the SKS But the the next kit guns that came out were the HK's and set me rifles Along with FNFA-Ls, many of you have braces anywhere from 6 to 8 to 10 FNFA-Ls that were built from kits, rifle kits. Once the rifle was available and they started deactivating them, it is inevitable somebody will build a frame and they did. And not only that, but overseas several companies were already building frames for the semi-automatic mark. So the FNFL has had its day. The HK has actually stretched out now for 30 years. It doesn't seem like it. But the first big import pulse of HK parts and FETME kits was back in actually the very edge of the late 80s and through the 90s. This is the year 2024. That's a pretty good run for a surplus gun. But there are so many of them. See, this is the thing is how many of the things were out there and how long did they stay in service before they're finally surrendered into the rent revolution market, which is what happens. They go to the surplus companies. The latest weapon that was really was big, but let me ask you something. How many do you actually see at the gun shows? How about those Mosin-Negats? that were available right up until not too long ago for under $100. That magic $69.95 was there. Then they went to $95 and they hovered there right under $100 for a very long time and people bought them hand over fist. How many companies can you remember that sold out having thousands and tens of thousands in stock and then restocking again? Now the weapon what is the price of a nagat rifle right now? What does it cost if you go to classic firearms to buy a Model 91? Most of them they get rifle about 365 now When it was a $69 rifle or a $95 rifle, you buy them like they're cordwood. You put a stack them up like cordwood. Why? Because the ammunition was also quite reasonable at the time at about 8 to 10 cents a round. Progressively it goes up. Why? Well, it's surplus and a bathtub only holds so much water and eventually you get to the drain and that's it. That's all she wrote. Now, the good thing is, there's more out there, unfortunately. There's been a lot of wars in the meantime. So what has become the dominant weapon right now, and you know I've said this over and over again, it's now the AR-15. We've gone full circle. At one point, the AR-15 was commanding, and still does, commanding the average grade, in an average grade. I'm talking, you know, custom build with all the bells and whistles. I'm talking just a field grade rifle coming off the shelf. It peaked at about $500 to $600 where then it's rolled back down and you can go to Palmetto State Armory and build a complete AR-15 for about $350, if not a little less. In fact, a lot less if you cherry pick from multiple locations, not just one company. So, at one time the SKS was the go-to. I would carry that rifle in a heartbeat. There are other weapons, as I've told you before, and I'll point it out again here in a minute once we're done with this little timeline. There are other weapons that came and went. They were just as cheap as that Nagant, but they were semi-automatic. They were not as common. They were not dominant in the market because they didn't have that niche, you know, as far as notoriety for the operator. Everybody wanted an AK or an SKS after Vietnam because it's the gun they faced. Okay, that was one of the big selling features everybody forgets. How is it? Well, there was this perfect storm. Everybody wanted a gun to bring back, but they wouldn't let them bring an AK back. Then all of a sudden, AK semi-autos look just like the gun the Chinese were carrying, even with the folding bayonet. was now available and as a memorabilia item as a thing, you know, like a part of the living history of somebody's life, you could own the rifle that you probably picked off a dozen or maybe up to a couple hundred different corpses during your experience in Vietnam. It was the weapon you faced and it was a weapon you respected because it killed a lot of people or wounded a lot of people, including maybe yourself. You don't hate it, it's just the idea that it's part of the impression of life. And this is true of every war. Guys came back with buckets of K-98 Mausers and air sockets. But they were killing them with them! Yep. And they killed the guys holding them, and it was the war trophy. It was the count, it was counting, not coup, but it was actually a war trophy because they had to bleed to get it. So anyway, we're into the AR age, and the AR is now the gladdiest of the day for the time being. I do not see anything changing with that. There are only so many weapons out there that have been available in the surplus market. There's been a very unimaginative development of weapons out there. Let's say that we had this latest generation of rifles sold to you. Based on what the government demands, what would you get? Because, let's like the G36. Let's say you had a G36 kit. Guys, it's plastic. First thing you're gonna do is chop the barrel up. Second thing they're gonna do is cut up the lower receiver. Well, what are you gonna get? Plastic and chunks of plastic. So, the G36, even though there's a lot of them out there, it's not viable as a rifle that's going to show up on the market and dazzle anybody. And by the way, it's got a god-awful, unique magazine, a proprietary magazine. A few other weapons like this have actually come into play during the heyday of the kit build period and one of them is a Steyr AUG, a beautiful firearm. The Star Wars blaster of the bullpups, the only thing that looks cooler than a Steyr AUG and I know the Steyr AUG is the Finnish standard Valmé bullpup. And by the way, you've seen it a million times. What? The Valmé bullpup? Yeah, you ever watched the movie Terminator? Right? You remember that future flashback scene when he's sitting there and you see the guys walking, coming in infiltrating, or I should say exfiltrating from the battlefield and they're going down into the corridor of the tunnel underground and they go to the door and they're knocking on the door? Did you pay attention to what they're using that looks so blaster-ish like it's a pulse rifle or something? What are they carrying in that scene? Go back and look. Those are Velmae bullpups. They're worth a fortune now. A friend of mine had four or five of them. When they came in, they only came in for a short time. Weirdly enough, those guns also showed up down in Haiti. Not because they were bought here, but because somehow a bunch of them ended up leading Finland and got into the hands of the security forces or the notable criminals in Haiti. And if you look in some of the pictures, you will see popping up every once in a while the Valme bullpup. That is that blaster, you know, Star Wars-ish looking gun very stylized So like the AUG very stylized now the velma won't find any of those chopped up You won't find any of those in kits But the AUGS came in as kits as pieces with the only thing that they're really good for although. Yes, you can eventually now Track down almost all the parts to complete a gun and hand hand But again, you have to go here, there, in a thousand different locations and cherry pick tiny pieces from the wreckage. Okay? On the other hand, you have that HK91 kit. Every part you need is still available as surplus right now. Now, has the price gone up? Well, originally when those HKs came in, price was dime a dozen. Meanwhile, the ARs were kind of in the middle range and of course still it was cheaper to build a, and later on of course, PTR and other companies built semi-automatic copies of the G3 HK91 and the rest is history there. Now they've carved a niche in the market and so the PTR 91 is here to stay at its cloned counterparts including a rifle made by Century International Arms, you know, old CIA. that is built with a PTR receiver, but the price isn't what it was before. That's the problem. And so again, this is why we're turning to the AR now, because magazines, well, they're everywhere. The alternative would be to go to the AK because they're everywhere. Right now, a bunch of people are killing each other and have killed each other in the Ukraine, and they're pretty much carrying AKs on both sides. Nobody threw away any of their AKs, not their 30s or their 545s. They do have a lot of other guns, but they haven't thrown away the AKs because it's what they sit on a pile of. Go ahead, caller, jump in there. Yeah, section mix yeah on the styroog I've got some friends. I know that Something because a lot of the the gun is plastic There you get files to 3d print a lot of the parts for the OGG and there's still some metal parts you got to have but you know like I said it's a lot of it a lot of it is plastic and like I was gonna I was gonna also say that You know, I remember back in, you know, like in the 80s, you know, late 80s and 90s and stuff, going through the 90s and stuff. And I remember going to gun shows and everything. And you could see just lines on, these guys would have just piles of AKs and SKSs. You know, the 30s, you know, what is it? The bolt action 30 caliber, 54, yeah. Yeah, the motion they got, the M91s. Yeah, the motion. Yeah, yeah. I mean, these guys, and crates of ammo, and these tables were full. But, you know, I still go to gun shows, and you go to the gun shows now, and there were very few, I mean, there was, I mean, from what I saw. Those things were sold and they were sold a lot of them. But when I go to the gun show now, you don't see any of those things coming back up. You don't see anybody turning them over and saying, oh, I need some money for a car payment or I need some of this, some of that. Very few. Some people do. They are catching, trying to get the profit. They're probably doubling or trickling their money, but very few. Well, realistically, just like you said, and I will say this again, if you bought 30 or 40 or 50 or 100 of those M91s, you could sell a brace of eight and pay for all the other guns you kept. You see what I mean? This is not a bad thing because in theory, if you wanted to reverse your capital, this is like any other investment. You could take a couple of nagats. Now, well, here's the way to look at it. When the nagat rifle was under $100, it's an excellent bolt action. It's in a high-powered rifle caliber, an MDR, main battle rifle caliber. I don't care who you are. It hurts bad and kills you dead in a doornail. But you could hand them out because they were only $70 apiece, approximately. And you can go, here's a rifle, here's two bandoliers of ammo, here's a basic web gear set, follow me, we're gonna go kill some sentries or a poor puck truck driver who's never gonna know what happened, who's got a truckload of ammunition, take your pick. After we kill the security, then you take and kill three or four more people and you got a whole bunch of goodies. But what did it cost you? Well, a few pennies worth ammunition. And, well, obviously the cost or the outlay on the weapons if you had enough of them. But five guys with nagons could go to town and hunt and harvest at their discretion. The big thing is, though, that again when it became a $365 gun, It's now not the turn-to-weapon because I can buy for $310 or in fact on sale for $200 and oh what is it $60 I can get a .308 or .30-06 Axis modern rifle with a simple scope on it and it's ready to roll out of the box. The other consideration is this. I'm not going to do the $365 nagant myself because if I'm outfitting troops I can now buy an AR-15 top to bottom for the same price. Now the cool thing is this. Since you probably have a unique Mosen, a Model 91, and there were many unique guns sold when they were selling them, like you said, like Cordwood. You saw them, they were piled up like Cordwood, weren't they? I mean, literally, just piled up on the table. Okay, now think about it. Now, you can take that rifle you paid $90 for and go buy or trade out on an AR if you want to. Think about that. You've been paid $90, you had money in the bank, you can walk out and now buy a standard light rifle, it's not a main rifle, a light rifle that you can buy ammunition for and mags for for a reasonable price, and you're in the 21st, you know, late 20th and 21st century, and what you did is you traded a rifle that was developed in 1891, actually a little before, but 1891 was its official kickoff. And you just converted that into a main battle rifle. How did you lose? Guys, think about this. How did you lose? Everybody was laughing. Everybody, oh, in fact, there were a bunch of snobs that were doing the, oh, you're buying that nagot and you think it's a sniper rifle. No, I'm buying this nagot because I know that it's a decent weapon. And strangely enough, if you bought the right one, some of those were hex receivers, some of those were Tula manufactured, some of these were Finnish rifles, because when they were bringing them in, some of these rifles came from like Finland, where they grabbed a bunch of Russian rifles from the past when they were fighting the Russians, and they still had a bunch of their own weapons, and they dumped them on the market, and they brought them over here during that wind sale that took place. Well guess what now depending on what some of those rifles are you have they're not worth 365 dollars Because people have become aficionados some of those rifles are 600 dollar weapons. Oh wait a minute that means that you could take that rifle you paid $90 for Turn around and sell it for five hundred and forty dollars. I'll give you a good price and I can buy an AR all the mags and some ammunition and be ready to fight on a modern battlefield with a modern weapon. How did you lose? People just say stupid stuff or what I really have a problem with is most people listen to the CIA and NSA and FBI flat traps who are put out there to say stupid things or to do stupid things. How many people caught this the other day? Every once in a while I see what are dummy videos. The guy's got, you know, why you wanna spend more money on an AR-15? And the guy's got what apparently was a polymer lower, plumb crazy AR-15 put together. And he's beating it on the ground and finally after he beats it and he beats it and he beats it and he's just like he's using a pickaxe. And he finally breaks the gun. He goes, hey, look, and then he grabs supposedly another AR. with an aluminum receiver and he beats it and he beats it and he beats it and he beats it and he didn't break it. Probably bet it. Probably hockey pucked it up really good. Okay, probably screwed it up badly. But it said, look, see, okay, stupid. First of all, nobody ever said that that plum crazy lower is going to be a $1,000 macro grab weapon with a little micro spec sites and a flash laser and don't forget infrared laser. On all the other, no, it's nothing like that. It is a quick utility rifle reasonably priced. That means that if I give 10 guys a Bear Creek upper with a plumb crazy lower with a simple optic on it, and the 10 of us go hunt some poor bastards that are on the other side at our discretion, we all have equal fire power to the enemy, but we have supremacy because there's 10 of us and there's only gonna be one or two of you. And by God, you're going to drop dead. And we're going to hose your ass down with whatever we need. But the most important thing is, I got everybody on the table with a, about a $310. Actually, we put them together. One guy put one together here. It's a little video. $285. Side charging handle Bear Creek Upper and a Plum Crazy Lower for $65. Now, you walk out with that, pop, pop, boom, boom, maybe it's not the finest of the AR-15s, but it works. It works every time. And this is the problem also. What is the longevity of the weapon? Well, for most of you people out there, a lot of you, you're never going to use the weapon as a combat infantryman. It's supposed to be a security weapon. Now, you need to train with it, and you better know how to hit something with it. So I suggest you practice, practice a little bit. But common sense is that most of our support personnel need a weapon to defend themselves. But we also need it to be affordable because many of these people, while they are more than willing to contribute their lifetime to the process, don't have the resources. And for those people... So he landed into the ground repeatedly over and over like it was a battle axe or a pickaxe. and said, see it's not a good weapon. Well of course not, it's not a battle axe. Go get a battle axe, go get a brush. That's not how you're supposed to use that weapon in the first place. There's no common sense to the activity because again, it seems to hold up well enough. Nobody is going to impact a weapon like that that many times. I mean it's common sense. So what was the purpose behind this? Is to try and play the YouTube or should say government influencer game. That's what they're doing. I'm serious. I absolutely believe that's just one of the many Oi boys slash kosher mafia BS, you know, productions that's designed to make you think, oh my God, those are junk. Well, wait a minute. How are they junk? If you watch what the character did, like you said, it's like, whoa. First of all, most weapons get run over with a truck. It ain't very good. You drop it out of the back of a vehicle, it should be able to bounce a little. And nothing that they did was like something just dropping out of the back of the truck. So basically, the weapon did not fail. It was brought to failure, but it took an excessive amount of energy to do so. So, again, it's not properly representative of, you know, again, does not develop a reason for concern with regard to the design. It's suitable. It is stable enough for its purpose, especially, again, since we need more weapons. And that's what they're terrified of, that you'll start thinking that way. I love fine firearms. I wouldn't be carrying a semi-automatic rifle in a lot of different situations or even an automatic rifle. I am a good rifleman. I'm going to, if I could, cherry pick one of the finer weather bees or brownings that's out there. I don't need to go into tactical with all the other fun stuff because I know what I'm capable of. I'm getting older but I'm still not that old. So, the big thing here again is that we need more weapons in everybody's hands. The enemy knows that this is part of what will defeat them because we have everybody armed. This is especially critical right now, guys. We can arm everybody effectively and equal to, even as a support person, a support man or woman. We can be equally armed for less money and remember that bullet coming out of that two hundred and sixty dollar AR-15 will kill you just as dead as the bullet coming out of that 13 or 15 or $2,000 AR-15 that the other guy spent all that money on. In fact, like I've said better have respect for I don't care what crazy town fool it is you're facing. I understand exactly and I repeat it constantly out in the air. that these nutcases you're facing are absolute worthless tools, but you could still die from them if you are arrogant because bullets know no friend and the fickle finger of fate is such that stupid gets a shot in once in a while. Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. One of the things to remember is anybody can get a bullet. If they get a bullet down range, they might tag you. And if they tag you, that bullet does exactly what the bullets in your weapon does. So, always, you always have respect for everything flying around on the battlefield. Now, whether or not you think you're superior to me in whatever form because you got the latest whiz-bang whistle rifle, we'll find out. But that was a great equalizer. Yeah, it's amazing, you know, to me, again, the way people, you know, I guarantee that the purpose behind this was to again do something stupid that they figured, you know, the young kids might, you know, catch on to. I'm sorry guys, you've got a lot of younger listeners, but that's what they're trying to do. They're trying to manipulate the younger crowd. Remember we had a few years back the characters that were intentionally dropping their rifles, and I commented on this. Remember they were throwing the rifles down and picking up, see, my rifle's so wonderful, it could do this. It's like, don't you dare do that. Anybody remember when you were in basic if you if your weapon hit the ground what would happen? Why if your weapon hit the ground you would be pushing Fort Leonard wood away from your body or from whatever wherever you were for Campbell for you know, Benning I don't care Why because you were supposed to maintain control of that firearm son. What the hell is wrong with your head? You get your ass down on the ground like I said you start pushing you know fort bending away from your body And you better do a lot of it right now because you have no excuse for handling your personal weapon The which is supposed to be an integrated part of our defense element In the way that you did you will be punished for it. This is where I've said many times I don't know where the hell the drill sergeants went Seriously, where did the sergeants go? We got so many wussy type things going on. It does make you wonder, where in the hell did the drill sergeant go? I know that it's because of the wussification that we've seen in general. We're getting feedback from the guys that are in right now. And it's just nonstop politics. We know that. We expected that to be the case. We've talked about this many times on the air. But with regard to the training and the discipline, And also the application of, well I know, common sense isn't common, but it should be out there in theory. You would think that at least some people gravitate towards some process of independent thought simply by sitting long enough in a place when you're really, you know, things are dull and you're kind of mulling around in your brain in cave sitter fashion. You know, hey, what's going on here? Because that's really, again, what makes the white man really cool? Well, we got stuck in pieces of real estate where it was really cold and half the time you were in a cave or you were under cover, you were snowed in. And so you better get creative if you want to survive. And if you don't want to bounce off the walls, because guess what? It was really dull. So you got creative. We got really creative. Destructively so in many cases, but really creative. So, again, because of this, I always wonder, what did they do to the brains of all these people that they've lost this? And I know it's intentional. It's not accidental. It's intentional. It does make you wonder. Sit back and think for a minute. Take a look at the situation we're in. Again, we can't afford this, so we're going to have to be, we're going to have to bring, you know, present ideas and hopefully jog people's brains enough that they start to kick them into, you know, kick them into motion. The most important thing here is whatever you do have will work. A lot of people, well all I've got, I've had people say this last two days, all I've got is a Winchester and 30-06 and a Remington semi-auto and I've got my dad's pistols and I've got six shotguns. I said, what do you mean all you've got? What did you think you should do? I'm gonna write one of 45. Don't apologize for what you just described to me. You've got everything you need to fight in a conflict. What are you talking about? The idea is that, again, first of all, it's not the shooter. It's not the tool. It's the shooter. Let's remember that. You face off against a man that knows how to perform with the weapon that they have experience with and the more time they have with it, the less likely it is you will survive that point of contact. Remember that, like I said, this whole thing. Another term that I understand why it's come about, but I warn you all, don't embrace this thing, is there are FUD guns. Because they're talking about now they're trying to create this division in the gun community, the gun sphere, that if you're older, that you have a FUD gun, okay, dimwit. It's just like was brought up earlier here and there's always the snobbery about pistols. For instance, the 1911. It's an old gun. Yep, it's an old gun. Works just fine. For 99% of what I'm going to do, that pistol, the 1911, will do everything it needs to do for me when the time comes. And it would do for you just as well. Okay? But they've tried to create this snobbery or this attitude thing. And I'll tell you what, I'll give an example of the latest joke in this particular concept. Does everybody remember when the Forte Smith and Wesson came out? I do. Oh, you guys have that old 9 millimeter. You're all stupid. The new magazines, the magazine articles told me you're stupid because you have a 9 millimeter. You have a 38 special. You're stupid. You're stupid because you don't have a 40 Smith and Wesson. What's going on right now in the gun world with regard to that issue? What are they doing right now? They've gone full circle and now they're berating all the 40 40 Smith and Wesson every department had to buy it Everybody had to have it. You weren't cool if you didn't have one Why don't you have a 40 Smith and Wesson if you don't have a 40 Smith and Wesson, you're just not with it, man You're just not with it And now they're becoming a drug on the market because, oh wow, somebody wrote a new article in Feds, who by the way, you never trust the Feds. The Feds are the last people to be innovative in any way, shape, or form. You do understand that, but because everybody's become bureaucracy worshippers, I am not worthy, I am not worthy, I am not worthy. Oh, show me what you, show me the path. These turds barely can find, they don't know what sex they are, can't figure out what sex anybody else is. You know, basically have hockey-pucked everything into the dirt. I'm supposed to listen to them. They're the last on the list of people I would listen to. But right now, all of a sudden, well, the old is this FBI report or this mid-lap report, and after they got everybody converted to Forti, Smith and Wesson. Now they've all rediscovered what? 9mm Parabellum. Isn't that amazing? They got all of your government money companies, all your spending groups that get fed money, they got them all to go to 40 Smith and Wesson because 40 Smith and Wesson, the only question with 40 Smith and Wesson was what? If they were going to go with 40 Smith and Wesson or 10mm, remember? And everybody poo-pooed 10mm because it was more powerful. And so they went with the 38 special option, so to speak. What? Well, yeah, if it's a choice, if you compare like the 10 millimeter, the 10 millimeter auto is basically like the equivalent to say, 357 Magnum versus 40 Smith, which would be the equivalent to say 38 special in terms of proportional energy. So they pushed for 40 Smith. Now I understand why, but it's the idea that everybody, if you didn't have it, you work smart. If you didn't have a 40 Smith, so everybody is told they got to go that way then somebody writes a new gun article That tells you all that 40 Smith is too powerful too erratic. It's goofy There's something wrong with it. You need to get rid of all your 40 Smith and Wences and we've got a brand new idea We're all gonna go to wimpy 9 millimeter And why did I say that? Because in 100, I'll tell you what, let me jog your memory on this. How many movies, when they were pushing, look at the window, go back and look at the timeline for 40 Smith and Wesson. If you look at all the BS movies, action movies, zombie movies, take your pick. They would be talking about the weapons they had and the guy would go, oh, I got so many rounds of .44 Magnum. I got two clips for the .40 Smith and Wesson. And we got, oh, three or four mags for the wimpy nine-millimeter bobs carrying. Well, wait a minute. So, like Bob's got more ammo than anybody in the room. He's probably more likely to put a hole in every zombie with this gun and have more zombies down. But you're bitching about him because you got to make a statement about, oh, that's right. It's politically motivated. You got to make a statement about, for about 9 millimeter. So now... But, no, Gibson needs a 9 millimeter. He's cool, so I want to be just like him. Right. Well, again, that's where you got into the Beretta was another thing. Types of weapons and promotional on them is another issue. Depending upon, you know, era, window of time. Nobody really liked the Beretta 92. That's what's really fascinating about that particular weapon. But there's an example. So, however, what do you do? You promote it with movies. And like you said, who helped to promote the gun? It's not that the guns a bad gun. It's just that it's not really away by the by comparison to other weapons with similar capacities It was a good useful weapon in the toolbox. Don't get rid of it If you've got one never never never guns are for buying not for selling number one But it's the idea that they use specific promotional propaganda in the controlled media which includes movies and television programs and to move you, the gun enthusiast, to particular arms. My attitude is, well, when you don't like that gun and it goes down in price, we buy the hell out of it. You know what's really cute? Wait long enough, it goes full circle because it becomes classic or becomes more collectible. For the longest time, well, here's an example. I did this myself. I had a whole pile of, as you know, I usually buy clutches of guns from collections. years ago and the Mini-14 was out there. The Mini-14 was catching me out for a while there. Still a good weapon, still a weapon I pick up and use in a heartbeat. Well, all of a sudden somebody wrote an article in Guns and Ammo and it was also in a number of other survival magazines that the ultimate best weapon for operations in a survival situation was the number five jungle carbine. What? Yeah, the number five jungle carving. Now that's not bad because the argument was stout. It has a 10 round magazine, it's a shortened full battle rifle cartridge. But here's the problem, there weren't hardly any of them around. Well I mean hardly any around. I mean they commanded at very high price. So although I probably shouldn't have done it at the time, I did. is a guy came through the show and he looked at the number five jungle carbine I had and he said, well, I really want that weapon. Oh, okay. Well, what do you got? Well, I got a Mini-14. A new Mini-14? Well, actually second generation Mini-14. I said, okay, and well, what else? Well, now, knowing what the value of the gun was, well over at that time, they were commanding about Theoretically, a $500 price tag. I paid $11 for that rifle. That's my cost. $11. Bought a whole clutch of rifles and that gun was in the middle of it. The guy traded me a Mini 14, 10 stainless steel magazines, two blue magazines. The stainless were all factory Ruger and they were 20 rounders. The others were steel and they were 30 rounder aftermarket, but better quality. included 700 rounds of ammunition, slings, a scope mount, an extra scope or a scope that didn't have a scope on just iron sights. Everything it needed for the rifle. So I traded for a, took an $11 piece of metal and traded it for what basically was about six, maybe $650 worth of material. Good trade. Yeah, good trade. Like in dances with wolves. And so my point is that again, was everybody happy? Yes. But why did the rifle command that price? It was not that the rifle was that much better. It is a good weapon. I'll carry it. I love the guns. They cock on the closing stroke. A lot of people aren't used to that, and I understand why. But the fact of the matter is, and by the way, this was a pristine. This was a factory built pristine number five jungle carbine. I think by what I could figure out, it was One of the weapons that came in right around 68, just as the GCA 68 took place, and the guy had in his collection with a pile of other weapons, he goes, well, give me $110 for the hull of them. And he was a good guy. So anyway, I kept what I wanted. I should have kept that rifle. It would be worth about probably $2,000, $3,000 right now. But I made a hell of a lot of how much profit do you need to make to be happy? You know what I mean? I made a comfortable, comfortable profit. I also got a nicer weapon to put in the inventory. And at the time, a comparable to any other firearm that we would be deploying with if we had to fight at that moment in time. So I didn't lose anything. Go ahead. That Mini 14 is basically just a scaled down version of the M1A. in a 7.62x39. Exactly. So again, a fine weapon, nothing to complain about. But because of an article, a weapon that was also cutting edge was considered lesser to a firearm that in reality was a manually operated bolt gun. Now here's another reason. Cooper at the time was the influence in the market. And Cooper was promoting the scout rifle. And of all the weapons that kind of matched the Cooper philosophy of the scout rifle at the time, the number five jungle carbine fits most of the criteria. And typically Cooper was talking about using a, for instance, a model 600 Remington, which is a short stroke lighter, you know, action, as the basis for his scout rifle. The number five jungle carbine is the number four Enfield, number four mark one, where they chopped the barrel down, lightened up the stock, put a really not so soft rubber butt pad on it, which really didn't help much at all when you shot it, trust me. It was not a soft rubber butt pad. It was rubber, but whatever plastic they used, Britain was cheaping out because remember, they've been fighting the war for a long time. But the idea was it did work. It was a functional viable solution, not a problem there. But as a scout rifle design, other than putting a B-square scope mount on it with a long rail, you had five more shots than you would with the Remington because the Remington's didn't have extended magazines. And they're a fixed magazine. They're a bolt-action, manually operated rifle. There are other guns that many people built, scout knockoffs based upon Cooper's concepts. So there are many different scout rifle designs out there and there's still a bunch of them out there right now as we speak. There are other people still building a basic scout rifle, manually operated weapon for direct combat. And of course, keyword here is, words mean something, scout rifle. The idea behind this is that it's used for very specific tactical activities and it fits the niche because you're not supposed to be in constant conflict, you're not infantry trying to find somebody to shoot. A scout is supposed to snoop and poop without being seen. And if you are seen, the idea is to put bullets on target to neutralize the threat as quickly as possible, throw a grenade or two, dump some more rounds down range, step back however far you can, turn depending on your SOP, dump some more rounds down range, throw a couple more grenades to break up their ambition about following you, and disappear into the bush, hopefully, to fight another day. So again, The big thing here is there's nothing that you've got that is well only. It's a matter of understanding what can you do with the tool that you do have that's in your toolbox and appreciating it. And guys, most of what your dad probably left you as a very fine weapon is just as viable today as it was when it was created decades and decades ago. Mark, an H-Sour wrist rocket and a couple of steel BBs, you know, big 30 caliber BBs, and you're on the board in a lot of situations, especially up close in the city over. Yep, exactly. Again, it's a matter of attitude and application of the tool in the toolbox. Well, actually, to be quite honest, that wrist rocket is pretty quiet. And depending upon what you look at, don't forget Vorg's Slingshot Channel. Boy, thank you for doing that. Remember, you've got the Slingshot Channel out there. If you haven't watched, I think you have to go to his German counterpart because of, you know, JewTube's policy to piss on anything unique and interesting. Over on YouTube, the Slingshot, the Slingshot Channel, I think, is frozen. But I think it might still be there. I gotta go look now that we brought it up. But why am I mentioning this? Well, he demonstrated again by building specific patterns of slingshots. And we're talking stuff that's just as lethal as any firearm. More so because again, totally quiet. You don't need a silencer. And some of his earliest videos he demonstrated using the ball bearings and ballistic gelatin. Just exactly what could be accomplished with a slingshot. and with designs that he came up with that are his custom, you know, his concepts and final production models that went out there amongst the population. People were very impressed and they get, they work. They do what they're supposed to do, which is, you know, put the target down. So I know we've gone from sleigh shots from firearms. Well, it's the idea again. If you got it, if it's stupid and it works, then it's not stupid. Always remember that one too. If it's stupid, but it works, then it's not stupid. And in this case, it wouldn't hurt because if you're going to game get in the field, a quiet device is much preferred to wasting a round that you can preferably use on an aggressor when you need it. And the most important thing is, you know, silence is golden. So any time where you can use something else that doesn't expend energy, put wear on anything, but allows you to continue to perform effectively, it's a good choice. It's something you want. So again, go ahead, jump in there. Yeah, just text, text Mexican. Yeah, don't forget his, his multi-shot crossbows. Oh yeah, well again, that's an example of taking technology when you're screwed because the government is trying to disarm you so that the illegal aliens can kill you. He's been very creative and yes, he has reinvented, well, invented because he has new designs. But basically, the Japanese came up with a magazine-fed crossbow before the year 1900. It actually was available through about half of the 1800s. This was a 54 shot side by side magazine fed self cocking crossbow. They're in museums. Interestingly enough, that crossbow was so successful that during the attack on Port Arthur, the Japanese did not have enough rifles. They had the Marata and they had a couple of, they had black powder guns even in service. But 30% of the Japanese troops that fought at Port Arthur in the Russo Japanese War Were armed with those crossbows and they beat the Russians it was the submachine gun of the crossbow world and it's kept out of everybody's mind you see no reference to it anywhere and That's not an accident. Okay. Well, here's what's funny The gentleman we're talking about has an entire mechanism an industry committed just to the repeating crossbow designs that he's come up with and they are now being commercially built. And they're incredibly popular in Europe for obvious reasons because that population has already been castrated and lobotomized with regard to possession of weapons. So, it's good, it's one of those things you do want to look at because it'll give you ideas, maybe somebody will come up with another neat one. There are several different types of semi-automatic crossbows that people have worked out or come up with. One was a torsion bar drive system that was really interesting. We covered a few years, well, actually, it's been three, four years since we talked about that. And these weapons again are something that can be built off the shelf. They could be built with available tools in the shop. And these weapons are lethal. They're not toys. This is something to laugh about. You would be dead, dead, dead if you got shot, shot, shot with them. And again, the idea that it's also self-cocking. One of the things you have, you have cocking and self-cocking. The self-cocking is taking advantage of the reciprocation, it's a reciprocating arm that harnesses the energy from the recovery of the bowstring as it moves through its second travel. And it's interesting that when you fire a crossbow, you can't see it, remote a bow, there is a certain amount of energy where the string actually returns past zero point and actually comes back towards you as if you were cocking the bow again. The idea is that using a combination of centrifugal counterweight and a few other mechanical prods, And what you do is literally harness the energy and re-cock the crossbow without having to do any other physical action. You just simply fire, the bolt leaves the crossbow, the energy is collected, the reciprocating arm does its job and re-cocks the prod. And congratulations, you're ready to shoot again. And we're not talking a minor amount of energy. We're not talking a kitty crossbow here. We're talking an effective short bolt semi-automatic weapon that will fire repeatedly. And of course, he has also come up with magazines for these. Go ahead, jump in there. Hey, this is Carl in Virginia. I saw an article on BBC apparently near London. They're looking for a guy who just killed three people with a crossbow and I was wondering and in the same incident and I was wondering how that would have been possible if you know, why was someone they still long enough to cock that but if they was using one of these it explains how he was able to do it. Oh, yes, these are by the way again this you can carry reserve magazines pre-loaded The other method is that you actually have a fixed magazine kind of like with a Man-Litcher type system and you introduce the bolts you obviously seal the magazine and Now if you look at watch the videos that he's done The engagement ranges are quite reasonable if you were looking at century removal These would be an optimal tool to have in the toolbox. Now again, you're spending more money, but for instance, he based it on originally using the metal shaft hand crossbow bolts that were cheap as dirt from China. Since the development of the design, they have also come up with their own bolts which are more sophisticated And, in fact, have greater potential for penetration, a combination of changes in both the head using an iron oxide broadhead of the type you would see in the Middle Ages, and also improved fin stabilization. So there's some, like I said, somebody was just killed and they had three people taken down in the incident. Yeah, it's most likely that this would be one of the tools that was used. It was the tool used. Now, on the other hand, it could be more than one person using a crossbow. Like I said, never play fair. Why would I just be one against two? You know, why not five plus against one? Go ahead, call or jump in there. Hey, guys, did you know this? They even want to take away on muzzle loading guns. Did you know that? That's right now on the agenda. That was like, you know what? I'm going to cover that at 8 o'clock. I can take everything from my enemy that I need, matter of fact, between my ears to get the job done, prior proper planning, prevent spits. Now Craig from Forbidden Knowledge is praying about copper rounds. Copper rounds off in one hour and taking over the public. And Craig coming up from Forbidden Knowledge. Walked him through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. 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'd 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 and home of the 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 shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. And keep our country deep in debt. 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 won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can 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'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic in each God-given right, and pray to God to torture freedom burning bright. As Iowoke vanished in the midst of whence 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 him 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 thought to keep, What would be your answer if he called out from the grave, Dill the Land of the Frigged? One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories West, South, North, and South East. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com LibertyTreeRadio.org And of course we are on WBCQ, the planet, on 6.160 regular shortwave WBCQ, 6.160 regular shortwave. We're on satellite, we'll say hi to all our merchant rate operators out there and many others who have an integrated web utilizing satellite to rebroadcast this program in so many ways it is impossible to count. Analog and digital and much more. We're in a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. It is Weapons Wednesday. Yes, that's right. It's the middle of the week. It is the end, the last, the third hour of the intel report. It is the 10th of July. It is the 16th year of Open Obvious, an in your face, Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K. 2024, old earth calendar. Help me Spock, help me! Really good. To Lincoln. And 2024, Battle for the Republic, book one, The Dance of Swords, How the Conflict Began. And here we are. It is Wednesday, it's Weapons Wednesday. A couple of things. First of all, I mentioned that I'm going to do this again. Get your pen and paper ready. Get your pen and paper ready. Get your pen and paper ready. These are definitely worthwhile. If we see items that are useful for tactical operations in one form or another, and these are very useful items, okay? Over at SportsmansGuide.com. SportsmansGuide.com. SportsmansGuide.com. They have what is listed. It's the title for it in their their file is US military a n slash PRD Cordura pouch these are used The price is three dollars and fifty two cents a unit now. I have the pouch in my hand. I've got several of them And this particular again good design back tag reads carrying case a and PRC 148 bracket D, bracket C. Okay, brackets D, bracket C. Again, this is black. It has four closure buckles on the lid. It has four internal pouches. One is long enough to carry your tactical whip antennas. The other two internal longer pouches can handle with the extended batteries a couple of handheld radios if need be. There's all kinds of ways you can configure this. There's an outer pouch. separate from the other two that is a utility parts pouch for all the extras or spares and there's a third there's a Forgive me a fifth pouch with its own clasp at the base Which can be used for any number of things you have to see this look at it's kind of like a big P type pouch weight set up It's not super big. It's perfect for what it's intended to do. But the back is set up with four Alice type keepers, but it also has two slip straps on the back of the unit. So you can either slide this onto a belt and hang it that way, but of course I would also use the Allis keepers to put it on a pistol belt. But the way that these keepers are set up, they're aligned and perfectly situated for using on the side of the standard Allis medium and Allis large. With the straps that are on the MOLLE gear, they'll work on that also. So this pouch is very useful. If you've got a... or a Jingtong or a Kenwood or a couple of different radios. One of the ways that I was just experimenting with size in between the hours here is you can use this as a ready pack to carry a couple of radios for a team, a set of people. But if you want to carry spares, since this was meant for a much, you know, like a larger piece of equipment and typically every pouch, every pouch like this, each pocket has an SOP mission that is established, Standard operating procedure for loading, okay. So don't know what that is because I haven't bothered to look it up yet. I know it's out there and I could probably take the time, but I'm not really interested because I bought this for my purpose. And again, these are used. The used ones are cheaper. You can buy brand new if you're really fussy about it. But for me, there's a lifetime worth of usefulness in this pouch. They're not beat up. They do might have some marker, paint marker on them from whatever unit they were with. Black tells me evil, you know, dark side slash ring knocker operations, etc. You know, the usual backstab stuff. But these pouches are good. Okay, they are a good item. And if you've got probably half of what I just described in your rig, you can adapt these real quick to anything you want to. You can carry them on the belt, carry them on the backpack. even carry them on your short day pack or mount them even to the side of the butt pack. They would fit. It would fit, but you still have an overhang beyond a little bit, but it would work because you do have the side straps on your regular butt packs, your M 1956 pack, and the upper Alice keepers would match up with that. That's number one. Number two is Italian military Double mag pouches, they're 6 to a pack. They're $9.44. They're Woodland camo. They will handle a number of different magazines. They certainly can handle AR-15. They're in the Italian Woodland, which is the same as the American Woodland. So if you're listening and you've got a Woodland unit out there where you're outfitting all top, you know, Woodland top to bottom, and you want some 5'10 equipment to put in place or you need spare pouches to put in other fixtures, These are very simple, they're brand new, virtually unissued, and they're $6.49 for $9.44. Now, last but not least for you, and again you can use this either way, it's French Triple Grenade Pouch 2-Pack Used, but these are used in excellent condition. I've been buying these, I've thought about it, I've been buying these for 30 years. The French made so many of these that the render revolution companies out there the Sturm especially has got Bins and bins and bins of them and they've still got even more over in Europe But anyway, these are great for the medics In fact where I'm immediately putting these two pouches that I got I wanted to see for sure what I was getting but I picked up Two different packs of these there's two to a pack. They're five dollars and seventy three cents apiece and they are French and Triple grenade pouch. Two to a pack used. $5.73. So about $2.65 a unit. Okay. What am I using these for? These are going into the medical gear because these are a thigh hanger. You've seen them in World War II and sometimes in Korean videos from the war. The guys have them hanging off the belt and they drop down to about mid-thigh. They're a flap, they're just like one, they are three pockets, one on top of the other. They're lengthwise, parallel to the ground. They are big enough that they're actually not for regular grenades. You can, but mostly what they were used for is for signal smokes and for CFCN grenades. They're the perfect size, they're built for that, they drop right in. These use the dot snap system. But what are we going to use them for? These are going to be Compress, you know, battle bandage carriers. They're perfect for this. Because you got one on top of the other, on top of the other, on top of the other, all you do is reach over to the side. If you're dock, rip one open, you got it right there ready to go. You're applying it. You can also set these up wherever you want, but this is going to be part of the medical battle rig that we're putting together right now in quantity. I've already told you before we've got a bunch of this stuff stacked up. We are going to be packing up IFAX probably doing now about 600 of them in one sitting at least. We've got a large bundle of IFAX pouches coming in but I was experimenting with some of the others and this one in particular to add to the more elaborate battle kit for the medic is perfect. It is canvas, it's not nylon. And these things have come in tight bond cotton weave, they've come in coarse cotton weave, which is what these are, and they've come in nylon. I've seen them all three ways. And they've been built since World War II. Should tell you something and work. Yeah, this French pack in pocket is a copy of the American model. The French were copying everything American for the longest time, even after we stopped producing it. Go ahead, caller, jump in there, please. This is Mike from Ohio. I just actually placed the order with Sportsman's Guy today and what happened, I'm not sure if it's a fluke or not, but they had their 30 caliber ammo cans on sale and I had a 10% off coupon, so I bought a whole bunch of them. And when I was, before I checked out it said you're eligible for a free gift of a US GI pillow, which I hope is a vacuum packed, but I clicked on it and it'll take a free pillow. And when I checked out and on the receipt it says I got a free pillow for every one of them Okans I bought which is a whole crap ton of pillows. Like I said I hope they're vacuum packed because I already don't have any place to put them but if I happen to get a whole bunch of pillows that's kind of funny. Well they should be sealed. Yeah they should be sealed. Actually what's happened is Sportsman's Guide just bought into a bunch of the Civil Defense bed package, you know, the bed kits. It's a cart with, it could be 10 or 12 utility, cops, or it can be 10 medical, they're calling them special purpose beds, but what they are, they're medical beds. Now they're not cheap, but they're also cheaper. They're not cheap, but they're cheaper than if you were to go out and buy them right from the company. And in addition to that, they're offering the pillows, they got the blank, they must have bought a big block of this stuff. I mean a big block, because there's a big listing that I just got, and it's taking up at least four pages. And it's the blankets by themselves, the pillows by themselves, the cosmetic kits, I should say hygiene kit, the hygiene kits by themselves or in bundles. The beds, cots, by themselves or in bundles, and this includes the special purpose beds, including IV hanger. They are the tiltable hospital beds. You can lift the patient up to the rear. You can lift his legs up from the other direction. And they're simple. They're actually very simple, just like the military. This is just another copy of them. So, yeah, you probably are gonna get a bunch of pillows, but they're probably sealed. I don't think they're loose. I think all of them are set up for storage. That's the good thing. So you shouldn't have any problem there. Go ahead. Anything else? I guess I'll have their use some day then. Yeah, I just thought that was funny. I thought I was getting one. No, no, I'm getting dozens. Well, a free gift is a free gift. Take it. No matter what. Remember? Yeah, exactly. Hell, well, you got enough of them. You got a bed. You can be quite honest. Just think about that. I'm a real Persian bed. Ooh, this is real comfy. I'm not even gonna get up. Of course, I may not be able to, depending on how deep it is. Well, again, thanks for that. So again, what were the price on the ammo cans, by the way? For members, it was like $7.50 some times. Oh, yeah. And then I had a 10% off coupon. And then that, the free gift on top of it. So yeah, it was a good deal with free shipping and all that. So everybody needs to be looking and going over there and checking it out because the ammo cans are available right now. $30 other 30-cal ammo can, US or British? US. Excellent. Well, the British ones are cool, but the British ones that they've been offering are a little shorter. And if you pay attention, a big chunk of those are actually 7.62x51 NATO blank ammo cans. And the British actually made them, so they scaled them down. So that the again the blanks are you know the I don't know again I assume it so that there wouldn't be any accidental pick up a bunch of blanks when you need ball ammo But the cans are actually pretty good. They're decent. They're a little smaller. They're easier for people to carry and They'll pack you know a reasonable amount of ammunition They're in that you know like off olive oil actually almost like an Italian desert green slash kind of it looks almost like it's in a brown range until you put the you know brown next to you you realize it's not really brown it's got more of a green shade to it after all but the answer would be good that's a good price seven dollars right now this day and age and no limit right oh not that I know of I mean I bought several dozens so and I did you know went right through with free shipping if you've got a pallet I have no idea but Well, amazingly enough when it says free shipping, it's supposed to be free shipping no matter how much you get. I have been curious about that one because what if you do buy the equivalent to a Pallet's Worth, that's a freight truck. That's a freight drop. But I've never confronted them, not confronted them, but I've never really asked about that recently. But that's a good buy. Anybody listening, $7, it's Weapons Wednesday, $7 a can for ammo cans and with free shipping. And if you're not a member, you should be. Sportsman's Guide does not sponsor this program. They could care less about us, I think, mostly. Though I'm sure they like our business. But they are definitely a place to go for deals. If you look and you cherry pick, you'd pretty well get everything you need in each category. And, you know, not quite one-stop shopping, but pretty close. Anything else jump off the page here that you might have noticed? No, I just wish I would have looked a little further and bought some of those pouches while I was there, but I just saw the ammo cans and that was all that was on my mind so I didn't look around for anything else. Right, remember when you do that, put a note in that whatever you buy, pack it in the ammo cans. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, as long as you tell them, they'll usually do it. So that reduces the amount of space. Of course, each can become heavier, but they're going to pay for that weight no matter what. So, works out pretty well. One of the things about the, if you're looking for AR mag pouches, they're nothing fancy, they're minimal design, but what I can see, they're Italian, they're Woodland camo, but they work. I wanted to see what they'd look like, I've never seen them before. They will match up with all your US Woodland gear just fine, nobody will know the difference. And as far as the radio pouch goes, these are Cordura. This is a very good high quality pouch. And it's for carrying case, ANPRC-148. V-C. Made in Ussa. So I assume that's Ussa Japan. Oh, it's America. And because it is relatively new, not brand brand new, but relatively new, it probably is under the dictate of the all-American components and all-American materials and manufacture for the equipment or for the the DOD, Donut of Destruction. So I was curious because the other consideration, now this is, now I'm going to change your brain on this one. Oh, by the way, I can't forget. I ordered these things and I ended up with something that's not on the list. I ended up with MOLLE or strap type, you know, belt or harness type radio pockets complete with Velcro or I should say Velcro adjuster, rubber band, upper, you know, for containing the radio. And it does have adjustable strap on the side too for making it fit different pieces of equipment. It's basically a unit that you'd find on your upper left shoulder. Oops, I hit the boom on the mic here, playing with it. That was a plus, it just came out of nowhere. So you never always check these pouches on the inside. When you get them, check every one. I should mention that more often. If it's used gear, you don't know what you might have gotten in those pouches. And most of it is double plus good. I got a contact at the Air National Guard when they were changing their field gear and their uniforms. We were getting free pouches and stuff. They were getting trashed and they were getting the Breda handgun magazines with ammo still in them and these pouches. Throwing in the trash and they obviously weren't very careful with what they were throwing out. Hey, it's your tax dollars at work. Remember that first of all, they don't care. And the interesting thing about this, now here's what's cute. I know you know I don't believe in silencers, okay? Because right now especially because you know the bad guys are gonna use that on you. If you got an NFA thing, it's a way for them to get through the door. But here's what's really cool about this pouch. It has a utility front pocket that's big enough to put a couple of like several boxes of 556 ammo in. The two back pockets are big enough that they will, the two pockets that could hold two radios are large enough that you could put two 40 round AR-15 mags in them and maybe even an AK. The thing is actually deep enough, wide enough. But the problem is the angle because it's a straight drop down. And then the long pocket that holds the, I put the antennas in because I got them right here, you can put a silencer, an extended long tube silencer in here and it's a complete little package. So it would be a neat little throw it on your belt, throw another pouch on the other side, and you'd have a good utility kit without carrying a whole lot of junk. The big thing is it's tough to find something that holds 40 round air, 15 magazines. And strangely enough, this would kind of work. Now on the other hand, if I was, say, working, depending on what I was doing, if I was trying to keep a minimal load, I could also put my cleaning kit or other material in the long tube holder and long strip side. and still have the other two pockets for mag pockets and the other pocket for ammunition. But you know, sky's the limit, be creative. The big thing is this is really well built, the used ones are worked in already, which is not a big deal for me, I don't care. And again, this is what we put onto a rig tonight. In fact, once I get the rest of the radio equipment out of one of the other containers, it's going in this pouch and it's going into service. So take advantage and there are brand new if you don't like used there's brand new for about another $4 I think and it's the same pouch probably won't have any other goodies in it because it's new You know what I mean Mike might end up with something really fun If you go the used route, how do we always do Mike anything else before we go? I'm gonna go anywhere No, that's all but you're right always dig in the pockets like the uniforms we're getting you'll get everything from condom wrappers to cash So you put your hand on that? Ah, yeah Luckily, yeah, I know Thank you, sir. Thanks for the heads up and again for everybody sportsman's guide. Go ahead jump in their car. Oh Well, you got March you were gonna tell us something about the muzzle loaders what they were trying to do or something The black powder okay, what basically you're seeing right now the state of Michigan has got a bunch of stuff That's nothing more than an extension of the what was the handgun control incorporated? Mechanism which is now the Brady Center Greg Schitzmier, you know the cross-dressing man that we have as a governor of Michigan Just passed Yeah, you know those male prostitutes. It was a cross-dressing, pole-dancing male prostitute before she decided to, he, she decided to dress up as a woman and the rest is history. Now we have it as a governor. You know, Greg Schitzmier. I remember that. Use the right name. Anyway, with the executive order that was passed last month, one of the things that they're going to try to go after is first a committee of monkeys thing. about cap and ball and black powder guns. Now understand that the gun control act of 1968 created an exemption but because it was inclusive that means they can also alter or modify. Now something that just happened today, today. It's rather unique and this actually was in Congress. Now it's not about the black powder directly but it admitted something. One of the directors of the VA was in before Congress today. This happened about six, seven hours ago. It's gonna be about eight hours ago. It was being questioned by the Congress about the fact that, okay, the VA is saying that if Congress passes a law that you as the VA director will not follow the orders of Congress. And the guy responded, he said, well, based on, you know, again, policy and other law, that they will not be able to conform to the legislation slash the laws passed by Congress. Now, this has to do with the Chevron deference crap that everybody's been hearing about, but nobody understands. And what this really is, is the executive overriding and using the War Powers Act of 1933 to alter through a declaration of war that was made in 1933 against the American people to weigh the population as property. Now, what this includes is overriding any legislation and or activity through an executive edict. Here's what's interesting and everybody is ignoring about what's been said here. Well, they've been doing this for 40 years. Okay, I want you all to do some math. So they've been doing this. They've been what they've been doing is saying that there been in the bureaucracy that the executive has been interpreting on its own law, but they don't need to listen to us or anybody else or Congress that they just at their whim are going to alter or move things at their discretion, change things at their discretion. Well, wait a minute. OK, 40, now the comment was made. They've been doing this for 40 years. This is the year 2024. This takes 24 years off, and that puts us at 2000. That means we got another, what, 16? So let me ask everybody something. What changed? What changed? Because 16, let's see, 90? What changed in 1984 that we don't know about? What changed that all of a sudden our whole government supposedly changed 40 years ago and became an executive run monarchy as opposed to the American Republic? Oh, that's totally illegal. Right. Well, every aspect of what they're doing. See, here's the thing, though. The thing that's happening at the Fed level with going after all weapons doesn't mean it's what it is right now. But the black powder, the black powder affair, it's not really just black powder. It's anything that can be perceived as a projection, a projectile weapon of any kind. This will not just include black powder. This will also overlay. Yeah, anything can put a pellet down range. And right now, I think one of the things that they're doing, remember we've got a whole bunch of weapons now that are out there that don't require any cartridges. Example, you've got some of these new .30 and .40 and .45 caliber air rifles that will put a boar down, you know, in Texas in a heartbeat. They go after a wild pig with them. So what they're trying to do is encompass all the rest of the weapons that we have that they can't regulate because they were exempted with law by law. And what they're doing is that they know they can't get it passed to amend the Gun Control Act of 1968, which is an extension of the NFA Act of 1933-34. They're deciding that, well, they decided all of a sudden that they just can do this at their discretion. Now, they've done it by first acting. back in 1985 and who was in charge in that period? George Herbert Walker Bush. Well, it's the end of Ronald Reagan's term, but it's the beginning of George Herbert Walker Bush's manipulation of the presidency and then becoming president after he was VP for two terms. I've been talking about a new world order. Oh, I never forgot that. Right, New World Order. Remember, he said he didn't say it, but then you have like 58 times New World Order. New World Order. New World Order. Now, we come to the present situation. These governors are being coached, plus of course, Greg Schitzmayer, the cross-dressing man that we have as the governor of Michigan. This creature has been coached but also is being prompted to do this to go after the all of the other arms anything else and everything else out there to disarm the population because somebody tapped that thing on the shoulder and told that it might be able to run for president of the United States with a Democratic Party. So what we have is this after they had that little meeting here with the pedos sniffer meat puppet in Washington all these these governors were Democrat Democrat governors Democrats. They were given their marching orders and they've gone back and they've been told that despite the Chevron deference ruling that came from the Supreme Court, that they're to proceed in every area that they can. And since needless to say, Schitzmayer is feeling that all of it, he, she, it might become president, or at least nominated to be running for president under the Democratic ticket, these characters are all going haywire back home. This is also happening in California with the other crazy town and something that nobody's paying attention to is it's also happening in New Mexico Remember we got crazy, you know the back is a bet back crazy New Mexican governor there the other cross-dressing male That's supposedly a female that has been making all kinds of comments They don't want to repeat because basically she's been spilling the beans and this is why you don't hear anything about New Mexico So, Michigan, New Mexico, U.S.S.A., California, I would be willing to bet Oregon are all hyperextending the attack on personal firearms across the board and the black powder weapons and all of the, in other words, the cap and ball or flintlock or whatever. If it's a pellet pushing firearm, a vehicle weapon of any kind, they are putting it under the aegis of restriction and they want to Step one is license it, step two is ban it. Just like everything else. In fact, go ahead. Well, here's the thing. Go ahead, sir. Well, no, no, go ahead. Repeat, because you're breaking up a little bit. So go ahead and repeat what you said, please. Restoration, then compensation. It always leads to that. Yep, exactly. Now, I've got a copy, and anybody who wants a copy of this, I just had another 20 made up. I can do as many as I want. But I have, when we originally set representatives to the 1993 Handgun Control Incorporated National Convention, we set people in, of course, as not monitors, but we were members. And this is the complete map out from 1993 with the addendum that was followed up in early 1994. for step by step gun confiscation and then progress, first of all, taxing and licensing and then confiscating every class of weapon no matter what it is. And they specifically even brought up knives and sharp objects. Where have we heard that? In England, remember England, Australia, all the idiots stick places. Sorry guys, we got people listening in England and in Canada too. But the people are doing that are, you know, idiots stick crazy buffoons. The big thing though that I love about this is at the very end it says after they get the idiot police to confiscate the weapons, then they use the international police to confiscate the guns from the idiot cops who went along with taking your guns. That's, openly that's their plan, that was their plan. Now this is from 1993, 1994, and when you go through it, everything you see happening right now is in this document. No, there's a reason. Go ahead. The cops better think about that when they confiscate ours and what's going to happen to our guns like that that they're going to. Well, the way that they get the fools to do this, and they already do this with bat faggots and you know any of the other gutter trash at the fed end, but the local cops still do the same thing when they're out there with them. They steal everything. Okay, this is why people said well I've only got a bump stock and well they're just gonna come in and take them another not to take everything you got Using the excuse of the bump stock or the shoulder brace and I warned everybody about this quite some time ago And I've repeated it on the air for how long? Okay. Because we've seen this before. Yeah, they made it legal. But guess what? You knew that they were going to take the shoulder brace and argue that it was the end. It's an NFA short rifle issue. Why? Because we've seen the pigs do this for decades. I've watched this for all my life. It is, you know, where they've done this kind of crap. And again, if they change what it is, They, in fact, even go, yep, you can have it. Oh, yeah, it's legal. Sure, we even had another ruling. It's legal. And then they wait. And it's like they wait to a certain point where they got the water level so high. And then they go, oh, by the way, we've reinterpreted everything, and all of you are now criminals. Well, this is going the next step because, as you know, there's a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of people that have black powder weapons out there and really don't do anything else. So the idea is to attack every aspect of personal firearms ownership and then try to baffle everybody with bullshit. But the cops will be given the authority to ride with the gun grabbers or be the gun grabbers in their state police mechanisms like the one that they're setting up with Lansing right now. Which is by the way, just like the one they have in California already. Everybody needs to remember they've already got gun confiscation units in California. All they're doing is creating the same thing here in Michigan. Okay, but they're including black powder. What about cross? You mentioned that earlier. You mentioned cross. Eventually all object throwers are banned and for instance in England if you have any of these devices like for instance if you had antiques remember back when they did the gun ban then they did all the weapons ban even they have a sword ban. If you had a medieval sword that maybe you had as a family heirloom or whatever, you had to take that in and you have to have it cut behind the hilt. You take the grips off and you have to cut it behind the hilt so that it's weak and it can't be used. And then you put the grips back on and you've got basically a wobbly piece of steel. So, in crossbows in the same way, everything must be deactivated to the point where it's totally non-functionally not repairable or not easily repairable. examples when everybody had the rifles in England. Oh, this one guy, he said, they made me. I had to come and take my FNFAL in and they had told me I had to cut it here, here, and here. And they did it. No, they didn't. You walked it in. You went along with it. And the bastards hockey pucked you. That's what you did. You went along with it when you should have dug your heels in because that's when it should have happened, right there. Now, we're not there yet, but all the pieces are in place so they can jump off, and that's what their plan is, I am sure. Like I said, we're getting closer and closer to the election. They can't afford to really have the election. If they do have the election, the voter fraud will be even more outrageous than the last time. And the voter fraud was massive and has been massive for years anyway. So disarming the population is going to be a priority. Now crossbows, as far as crossbows go, you know, we're like into the sixth generation of crossbow technology in the U.S. right now. We're a long ways from the old Barnett Company. The Barnett crossbows are great. I think I probably got maybe, I've got a half a dozen of them. The original Barnett, not the Chinese copies. And I've collected them from yard sales and estate sales because I'm very interested in them anyway. And now I would assume they're actually collectible. But today, if you go to Cabela's, I mean, my God, look at what they've done with the crossbow. You've got a tight compact, yeah, oh, they're tight. They're fully mechanically advanced with the way that they've set up their, you know, again, their compound. mechanisms, if you look at how intricate they actually are, but they've taken advantage of all modern metallurgy and plastics. They're tight, they're compact, they've got lots of energy. Hell, you drop that in the middle ages, you think you had a machine gun. You know what I mean? In other words, they killed for something, they could have figured that out. So they are an effective weapon. Again, what are you going to use it for? Well, you're going to go over and comply with a machine gun. Well, if that's what I got, I probably will, but I'm not going to do it on his terms, I'm going to do it on mine. I'm going to be a sneaky Pete, sneaky Pete bastard. It's going to come up behind your ass and put a bullet or bow or club you with a ball peen hammer. I'm sure so. Not going to be fair. You know, very good. Go ahead. Crossbows are very quiet. There's no report at all. Exactly. And so again, like the, it was mentioned earlier by Dara, you know, you've got wrist rockets, you've got slingshots that are phenomenal. The crossbows or even right now I'll tell you what I've really gained a quantity of is right now the older style compound bows are not as in vogue. So I've been getting compound bows that were $6,700 in their heyday. Example, I'm looking at a bear bow right here right now. It's a bear. It's a real bear, Michigan bear manufactured. I know it's probably collectible, but it's immaculate. It's a grandpa bow. You know, back in the day it was state of the art. Not all of these are lethal. There's not one of these I wouldn't hesitate to use. The only problem I got is getting older is my arm won't handle some of the draw on some of these. I can still pull them down a little harder now, but I can still do it. Exactly. And the thing is, well, the biggest thing right now that I would recommend if you're serious about arrow, about bows or crossbows, is collecting every arrow and bolt you can find. I've got a good one. Yeah, that's going to be the problem. Now here's another thing real quick. And remember everybody said, well, you don't use a wooden arrow in a compound bow because the arrow will shatter when it gets down range. Well, I would be worried about that if I was hunting Bambi and I was trying to get the arrow back. But you know what? An old wooden stock arrow that is very high quality with a good broad head, the older style broad head on it. is perfect for shooting somebody like a biped that I really want to do van damage to. Why? Well, because that shaft shattering on impact with the target would really be quite, that would mean nasty. It would do its job the way it normally would, but it also just tear the hell out of whatever it hits. So don't poo-poo wooden shafts. That's one of those situations if you're having to put a bunch of shafts down range, That is kind of useful because remember on the Slingshot channel, Jorg, I'm about to get his name right, Jorg, actually has done some really phenomenal earlier videos and he's done cross poses. One of our colleagues pointed out we've talked about him and put some of his programs up on the air years ago, you know, a few years ago. We have there's been problems because YouTube's tried to push him off his channel. However, one of the things he's always been good for is he's used ballistic gelatin, ballistic, you know, bullet gelatin, to demonstrate the effectiveness of, for instance, a slingshot. Now, in his earlier days, he just took a five-gallon pail, filled it with ballistic gel, dumped the ballistic gel on a pillar, Okay, and then he takes a slingshot, the design that he has with all the new elastics and everything that are available, and he was using a, I think it was a .40 caliber, correct me, it could have been .45, could have been a little smaller, but I think it's .40 caliber of pellet. And he takes it and he brings it back, and he's got, he had muscles like Schwarzenegger. Yeah, he was a bodybuilder. So he's putting some energy into this thing, and he lets go. and the projectile goes all the way through the gelatin. And he comes up and he goes, oh, that's good. He goes, but that's not really what I want. So he goes back and he pulls out of his inventory a 70 caliber steel ball bearing, takes the same shot, brings that big beastie arm the size of your leg back, and he lets go and that pellet goes in and stops. and about two thirds of the way through that corpse. I mean the five gallon pail of jelly. And he goes, that's what I want. And you know what? He's right. Why is that a good thing? Right. And not only that, remember that pellet left most of the energy that he produced on target and the pellets inside. 70 caliber ball bearing is now inside somebody's chest cavity. Well, that's pretty decent. Now he's done other testing with simulated rib cages, etc., and used more sophisticated torso castings of the ballistic gelatin. The big thing is he went, you know, he's done everything he could with slingshots, and he has his own line of slingshots. And they're phenomenally well designed, okay? But then he went over into crossbows, which you were asking about, too. And there's a series of, he started out first with a number of different ideas for crossbows, but then he started getting into magazine-fed or repeater type. And at the present time, he has a number of products that are marketed out there that can either be bought from a particular producer or you can use a printer to manufacture the parts. And what he's done is created a magazine-fed repeater, basically carbine crossbow. So it can't be restricted. It's not restricted in Germany or in the other locations. You've got to be careful about that because Germany is as crazy as the day is long when it comes to disarming the population. And they want you to be a good victim, yeah, they want you to be a good victim for the illegal aliens so they can rape your child. You know, 17 or 18 of them can rape your 12 year old and you have to stand and watch because heaven forbid that you should actually, you know, protect your country and your family. Like what just happened in Germany. Yeah, so anyway the thing is that the crossbow designs that he has are phenomenal and anybody guys if you can find the slingshot channel Start going through he does fun stuff. He does theme I don't theme weapons, but he's also done an extensive amount of serious research and In fact all of us everything he's done is still serious because he demonstrates mechanical options Example okay You know, okay, caller. Do you know that during the Vietnam War they actually produced catapults for the army? No, I didn't know that Yeah about nineteen six here guys when you got a lot of money and you're trying to figure out how to you know What else can we build just like kind of like we just had with going to Afghanistan? During about 1966 67 they came up with a towed trailer trailer-mounted catapult that was designed to launch 55-gallon drums full of aviation. Basically, a food gas launcher is what it was. They actually deployed the things. There's a couple of...they're XMs. They're experimental models. Remember, you don't do them as production run first. You do them as XMs. They actually put them in the field. They were all aluminum. These are totally modernized. Actually, just imagine something that looks like a scoop bucket for a 55-gallon drum with a couple of articulated arms that you crank back and you let go and it launches the, supposedly it would launch the drum about 200 yards, maybe three. And of course it doesn't require any ammunition. I don't know that it'd be very quiet because basically again there's a lot of mechanics involved, a lot of clanking. But that's in an age when we had rockets with electronic guidance systems falling from above, your tax dollars were spent on developing a catapult for the Vietnam War. Now did it work? Yes, then they actually covered it a little bit in in magazines. Go ahead. Go ahead We're explosive launching is what they were doing Exactly. You could do anything you want. Whatever you can put in a 55 gallon drum. They go boom One of my instructors who eventually was the He was the Head of the airborne school down at Fort Benning But before that, he was an instructor. He actually is the man who invented the 55 gallon drum, uh, fougasse, uh, anti-personnel mine. You know, command detonated, where you basically take a 55 gallon drum laying on its side, cut the top off. Pack it in sandbags and then what you do is you layer your C4 or whatever charge you're going to use in the back and make sure it's held in with a piece of cardboard or with board plywood. And then you stack every piece of shrapnel and bent steel cases and expended machine gun links and everything else you can imagine. And then a couple of one gallon cans of napalm. One gallon metal gas cans. with food gas, you know, basically in there. It's a full gas of what you're building, but it's a big ass one. And they started using those during the, he created it during the advisor phase. He was with Special Forces, both he and another gentleman. They worked together, served most of their careers together. Anyway, they set the thing up and that was their area, final area of defense control point where when they knew they were being overrun, you just capped these things off and everything for 150 yards wide and about 150 to 200 yards deep was dead. Okay? So you take the same idea, but you launch it. Only you seal it. It's all, it was all sealed. Now, the reason I bring it up real quick is one of the first things I did when I was young, and I was, you know, again, with other military minded people, is we built an arbalisk. And I did it using a T-shaped boat trailer. That way we didn't have to build hardly anything. And the arbalisk that we set up, we used the boat winch, we used the trailer winch as the cocking device. for the wheel is the windlass to actually crank back you know the bolt you know can't crank back the the the line to lock it in place so we could launch eight foot six foot and eight foot long half inch or three quarter inch water pipe with fins on them and you know what you could harpoon a car with that thing Now the other thing you could have done with it you could have added because it was a plumbing pipe I could have taken that dart that we put on the front of it and we could have put one palm propane pig that was used load that with a charge put an ignition cap on the end and Because that's what it sounds like when you launch it But what it would what it do that would launch a high explosive charge out to about a thousand yards if not farther because the first dart that we fired actually farther than that, forgive me, almost 2,600 yards. We never found the first dart that we fired. We lost it. We don't have any idea. We watched it go out and it went out beyond our sight. We realized, son of a bitch, we really have miscalculated this thing. So we cranked her up again, painted the next dart orange, and then launched it. Now if I had put anything else, even if you use that just as a physical weapon, I mean it's mean, but there's a way to launch whatever amount of weight you want. Calculate what the weight of a 6 foot piece, the 3 quarter inch pipe is. Now take part of that weight shave it off change the length of the shaft or again you got so much energy I don't think it'd matter if you added 30 or 40 pounds of additional weight It still throw that son of a bugger down about 2,000 yards. Well, that's a good throw for a an HE device and you don't the only thing you got to make are warheads you don't have to make a Blast charge or a recoilless weapon or anything like that. So it would be a simple way to project an HE round downrange and all it required is taking medieval technology and applying it with modern machinery and all of it was, well again, thank you to the boat supplier who made the trailer because that was the premise for everything else we did. By the way, the prod, we used a two-ton leaf spring, a leaf spring off a two-ton truck, forgive me, one of several that were on that side, so we had plenty of spares. I heard another voice real quick. Go ahead, jump in there. The reason why they went to aluminum graphite was because the wood arrow doesn't have the strength when it's launched. You know, the torque or force when you let go of the strength can break the arrow right there in front of you and you could have it go through your arm. Right. That was one of the things about, again, one of the reasons that that was a real problem is because you had a wide range of age and shafts. And so there was a standard precaution against that's why I said some of the better quality arrows are out there that were ash or oak that were made back in the day mostly I think ash but or no ash. Ash. Yeah. Yeah. Ash was an ash. They're also done in maple. The better quality arrow shafts could hold up. Again, a lot of lesser woods were used because typically the recurve, like as you know, the energy curve against the shaft is significantly different. Again, the biggest problem you've got is material quality. That's why I said the better quality older arrows, I would prioritize towards whatever I could use them in. But I know people who intentionally, well, let me give you an example. In fact, my dad did this. He had a number of older arrows available. My brother had one of the first bear compound. And I hated that he did it because I was still using, I was using a lesser bow and I was a lot younger. They took 30 of the best arrows possibly built in the country and turned them into Flinders on the target. to make sure they were all destroyed because they felt they were getting too old so they just burned them up. Now they didn't have the arrows fracture in the bow, but when they did impact against the target all 30 of them were utterly destroyed. So I understand what you're saying. Because again, remember, whenever the policy is, you're not airing, but air towards safety. So the basic rule was because there was such a wide range of shafts out there that the policy should be not to use them because of the possibility of failure. So you're absolutely right. But it's a matter of materials and part of the material issue is age. And so again, going to aluminum and then going to graphite was logical because of the energy available with the compound bow. Well, it was there from the beginning. The only wood didn't last. Once the compound was out, the research done by Bayer told everybody, guys, we have to go this way. It's just that simple. How long would the other competitors who all knew that, you know, once they developed the technology that they had to upgrade the ammunition? And they did. I heard another voice. Go ahead. First of all, Tex-Maxx, anything else? Please. Feedback. Go ahead. Go ahead. And it brought the bolt with a blunted point on it actually do a lot of damage to the body. Yes, well, okay, let me give you an example, two things. Now, it depends on energy. No matter what it is, if it's blunt, it's like shooting somebody with a wadcutter. The most important aspect of this is trying to deliver what energy you've produced to the target and keeping it there. So you're absolutely right. Again, if you were trying to penetrate and go through whatever might be the whole of the object, A broad head obviously makes sense, but if I'm wanting to keep it on the target, and I know that the target, if I'm going to select the area for contact, and it's not going to be something with a helmet in the way, a blunt head would be very, very... No, we're not talking a broad blunt head, guys. I'm sure what you're talking about is just a rounded or dull blunt head straight dimension, same as the shaft head, right? Same dimension as the shaft. Wow, yes, exactly. Yep, red man, that would be just like shooting someone with a wadcutter out of a 38. Only with a wadcutter, or anything like that. You can experiment with this, it's a new work for you. Thank you for all the input, and I look forward to it. And we're taking over again.
