    We normally don't do this in several respects. The first is you will hear this exact same cast on Gentlemen's Soapbox as well as here as the topics mostly apply to both channels.

The other abnormal thing is we really try to steer clear of politics here at Hawk's Eye Guns but the governor of New Mexico is making that very difficult at the moment.
