It seems like major historic events get overlooked too often for the latest “shiny object”. You seem to find a happy medium in the stories you write on. When you are deciding on which news stories to report on, how much does cultural relevance weigh in? 2) One of the biggest stories in our nation right now SHOULD be the SCOTUS case on whether or not “keep and bear arms” means that citizens have the right to bear arms outside their homes. We have heard very little about it on many of the big legacy networks. What is your take on that near-silence? 3) Some stories are crossovers – news and culture. The Alec

A twelve year veteran of the NRA, Lars has covered almost every aspect of both the NRA's political and program-side. 1) One of the biggest news stories in the 2A world is the first gun case to reach the Supreme Court in more than a decade - New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen. What are the basic facts behind case? 2) Why did it take so long for another 2nd Amendment case to reach the highest court in the land? 3) Experts are saying this case reaches beyond the 2nd Amendment, that the underlying issues are greater than the right to keep and bear arms.

And her latest work is a book titled “The Events of January 6, 2021: What Impact the Second Amendment Movement?”. 1) When we had you on back in August we broke down a lot of the details that seem to lead to a reasonable conclusion that people who have been arrested in the January 6th events were targeted simply because of specific clothing they were wearing that day and that there were FBI Agents among the crowd who were actually ramping up the people and egging people on to enter the building. Do I have that correct? 2) This many months later, the top three bullets are: 2a) Order of DC District Court Judge Royce Lamberth on 10/13/2021 in t

Cheryl Todd of Gun Freedom Radio: The HISTORY of Women and Guns! Even when women could not legally vote, we did legally have guns. Our foremothers used guns to hunt, to protect their land and livestock, and to guard over the safety of their families. Firearms and ammunition in the home were basic household tools – as basic as having, say, a hammer and nails. Yet, here we are in the 21st Century now trying to reclaim that normalcy and those Rights to possess, carry and use these life-saving tools of protection. Somewhere along the way someone told us that women don’t use tools. And too many of us bought into it. And someone told us that Moms – you know good moms – don’t allow certain kinds of tools into their homes. And a group even commandeered the word – Moms. Moms Demand something...not really specified...but it equates to “guns are bad” and if you are a mom, or a woman, or a decent human being of any kind you will agree with them...or else face being ostracized and cancelled. Can you imagine – all the s

Our guest today is Simmone Park. Simmone Park is a multilingual management consultant and stand-up comedian who has lived and worked in ten countries so far. For six years after a violent assault at gunpoint, Simmone was fervently anti-gun and changed her location every 3-4 months, unaware that she had feared for her safety. After taking time to heal, process the experience, and work on overcoming her trauma, she now lives in Hawaii, where she feels at peace. Simmone also decided to educate herself on guns and the law and is now Pro-Second Amendment and ultimately chose to work for a pro-freedom law firm, Attorneys for Freedom, that fights for the rights of citizens in Hawaii and Arizona. 1) Thank you for being willing to go back to the worst moments of your life and talk to us about the day you were assaulted at gunpoint. 2) You have said that part of the trauma that resulted from that horrific assault is that it caused you to start thinking of people in terms of their race. 3) There are loud voices acros
