The results of VA legislative session become clear(er) as the day progresses…What did the wicked witch democrat tyrant of the east do with the constitution crushing bills infringing on your gun rights as the deadline approached last night? take a listen. …read this statement from this wench…Then get MAD! “I grew up in a family where responsible gun ownership was expected, and I carried a firearm every day as a former federal agent. I support the Second Amendment. But gun violence is the leading cause of death for children and teenagers in America, and that should motivate all of us to ask ourselves what we can do to mitigate this harm,” said Spanberger. “This is why I've made amendments to provide clarity for both responsible gun owners and law enforcement, making clear what these changes mean in practice — as Virginians safely purchase and store their firearms. These common sense steps will help keep our families, our communities, and our law enforcement officers safe.” In response to Spanberger's actions towards gun control legislation, John Commerford, the National Rifle Association's Institute for Legislation Action's executive director, released the following statement: “Governor Spanberger's last-minute amendments to these gun control bills—slipped in during the dead of night—are nothing more than a desperate ploy to prop up her radical redistricting referendum by delaying action until after Election Day. These changes don't fix the bills; they merely attempt to rebrand blatant violations of law-abiding Virginians' Second Amendment rights. Such cynical political maneuvers reveal not only her contempt for constitutional freedoms, but also her disregard for the hundreds of thousands of responsible gun owners across the Commonwealth. Our message to the Governor remains the same. We'll see you in court”

On the table: Of course a VA update with some prognosis and theories as to why the Wicked Witch of VA has yet to sign her unconstitutional signature gun grabber bills. What is she waiting for any why? Does huge Republican turnout against her unconstitutional redistrcting have anything to do with her timing? Will she simply let them become law without her signature? Likely NOT so why the wait? Recent court cases and SCOTUS action, or rather, lack thereof and more with Cam Edwards!

Grand Rapids MI Mayor LaGrand makes stupid comments saying gun owners should be ashamed of themselves. In doing so he insulted millions of MI citizens, the states own constitution gun rights, sportsman, hunters. Trying to walk it back a couple days later made things worse.

THIS show will anger you beyond belief. The Dems have pushed it to the limits folks and Chicago is all the proof you need. If you are an honest person. If NOT, you suck.

Bondi and DOJ seeminglydefending continued harrassment of gun owners for posessing pistol brace rule under Biden Admin that has already been vacated by federal courts. WAT?

Jared joins Mark to dscuss the TRUMP DOJ defending the National Firearms Act (NFA) in TX case. At issues is the pistol brace rule, vacated by the federal courts over a year ago and whether the ATF/DOJ can still seek prosectution regardless of the “rule” being vacted by the federal courts due to the existance of NFA without congressional action to abolish it. Neil brings us up to speed in a short segment on the case and Bondi’s tenure at DOJ as AG.
