Riding Shotgun With Charlie #260 Toby Leary The Civil Rights Coalition Cape Gun Works RapidFire Radio   Massachusetts has been seeing the opposite of Bruen since 2023. The Beacon Hill politicians have been doubling down on attacking the Rights of the Bay State gun owners and the non-gun owning subjects, too.    It started with the "Gun Law Listening Tour", where one state representative was tasked with "modernizing" the Mass gun laws. Instead, they did the opposite. Then they stepped it up a notch. The 11 tour stops all around the Commonwealth were mostly packed with anti-gun folks or people who were not gun people. They didn't know the laws. They don't understand how getting a license to carry works or what is required. Let alone what happens when someone buys a firearm from a retailer.    We all know the fallout from the 'listening tour". The politicians decided they know best and overhauled the Mass gun laws. They changed training requirements, making it more difficult, more time consuming, and more expensive. Toby and his crew got into action. They only needed 35,000 signatures to get on the ballot. Then over 46,000 to have the law suspended until the election. Without any paid signature gatherers, they got over 100,000 signatures. But it was too late. The governor signed an 'emergency preamble" and made the law go into effect 71 days after she signed the bill    When the politicians realized that they didn't have the requirements, they pushed the new training back 18 months. And even then, they didn't have things figured out. They asked instructors for input in the month before the change was to happen. Even so, they've suspended the live fire requirement. But they're still trying to figure out how they can get the public into private ranges.   Toby has been on a roll for nearly two years. He's got a radio show on Sundays and he's always talking about Chapter 135 and the CRC. Besides that, he's running Cape Gun Works and a woodworking company. He spoke at the Mass GOP rally in Worcester, Mass, at the DCU Center.  There  has been a few years of instability with the Mass gun laws and Chapter 135. First, Mass State Representative Michael Day, who was tasked with "modernizing" the laws, didn't even know what was in the bill. Therefore, he couldn't have written it. It was probably written by Everytown and Giffords, as Day met with Gabby Giffords in the State House in Boston. So the politicians don't know what was in the bill. Recently, a local police officer came in to ask Toby some questions. He tried explaining it as best he could, but the officer said his plan was to arrest the person and let the courts figure it out. Therefore, it's going to cost someone his savings and fortune, possibly his house, and his reputation if he gets arrested for some charges for something that was legal just two years ago.    The Coalition did a poll recently and found out that there weren't nearly as many Republicans as Democrats, but 73% of the people;polled believed in the Second Amendment. This injustice of the process affects everyone in Massachusetts, not just gun owners. If the politicians do what they want, there will be no stopping them. And it's harder to stop them, if they have disarmed the citizens.    If you're a Massachusetts resident, you need to vote "No On 9" to repeal all of Chapter 135. It's the law that has gone too far. To help raise money, there's a fundraiser on September 19, 2026. Anyone can bid on the auctions. It's called Lawyers, Guns, and Money. Both Toby and Mark Smith from Four Boxes Diner are the speakers at the live event.    Favorite quotes: "We aren't your problem! Go after the bad guys!" "We were able to get 100,000 signatures in five weeks without a single paid signature gatherer." "She abused her power to do this, and she did it in an unprecedented way." "Arrest, prosecute, and let the courts figure it out."

In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Prof. Albert Cheng of Ohio State University and Katie Everett of the Lynch Foundation, speak with Arne Duncan, former United States Secretary of Education for President Barack Obama and former CEO of Chicago Public Schools, about the current state of urban education and the federal school choice program. Sec. Duncan explains the politics behind governors opting into the federal education tax program, which provides a dollar-for-dollar federal tax credit of up to $1,700 for donations to approved scholarship-granting organizations. In blue states that have opted in, like Colorado and New York, the program will benefit urban students, as well as high dosage tutoring, public district, public charter, voc-tech and religious school options for families. He also shares why he and Democrats for Education Reform urge other blue and red states alike to follow suit. Sec. Duncan closes by examining the political dynamics around why Bay State legislators and parents should encourage Governor Maura Healey to opt into this federal school choice program.

In this week’s episode, Jennifer holds recent controversial legislative developments in Massachusetts up for much needed scrutiny. Jennifer is a seasoned political strategist and commentator based in the Bay State, whose career has focused on engaging women in politics, dissecting policy decisions, and amplifying conservative viewpoints on governance and American civil liberties. Her perspective is informed by lived experience in Massachusetts politics, research in civil rights history, and firsthand recollections of pivotal national events. Jennifer takes a critical look at Massachusetts Senate Bill 2134, which would create the state's first permanent commission dedicated to the interests of American Muslims. She scrutinizes the bill's structure, the political motivations behind its creation, and argues it challenges the principle of separation of church and state. Jennifer reviews demographic data comparing Catholic, Jewish, and Muslim populations in the state and questions why similar commissions for larger religious groups have not been proposed. She invokes memories of September 11, 2001, highlights her concerns about what she describes as preferential treatment and radical ideologies, and urges listeners to hold elected officials accountable for policy decisions that could set national precedents. This episode raises pointed arguments about DEI policies, potential backlashes, and the broader direction of state and national politics. "I'm not sure why we are being taken over by radical ideology such as Islam, such as socialism, such as Marxism. These things are not okay." ~Jennifer Nassour Today on Political Contessa: Massachusetts Senate 2134 would establish a permanent state commission advising on issues related to American Muslims. The commission would be appointed by high-ranking state officials including the governor, attorney general, and secretary of state. Demographic comparisons were made between Catholic, Jewish, and Muslim populations in Massachusetts. Jennifer raises concerns about the separation of church and state. The episode references the impact of September 11, 2001, on Massachusetts residents. Questions are posed about why other religious groups have not received similar commissions. The bill’s advisory function extends to recommending appointees for government positions. Listeners are encouraged to scrutinize local legislators’ votes and push back on radical ideologies.

The road trip crosses into Massachusetts, and the Bay State delivers two of the strangest files in the entire eastern catalog.It starts on a dark stretch of Farm Street in Dover in April of 1977, where a seventeen-year-old named Bill Bartlett watched something creep along a stone wall that no one has ever explained, a spindly, hairless creature with a huge watermelon head and glowing eyes.Within twenty-six hours it was seen twice more by three other teenagers who had never compared notes, and then it vanished forever, leaving behind matching sketches, a police chief who vouched for every witness, and a case so stubborn it made a small New England town famous on the other side of the world. From there the episode heads forty miles south, where the manicured suburbs give way to the Hockomock Swamp, five thousand flooded acres the Wampanoag named the place where spirits dwell, and where the reports never stopped. An armed police search in 1970, a fur trapper stalked from the bank of a black waterway, Joseph DeAndrade's famous Clay Banks sighting, a kayaker who watched something rise out of a crouch on the Town River, footfalls booming across the frozen ice of Lake Nippenicket, and a farmer whose family spent sixty years sharing a fence line with something that never once introduced itself.One state, two monsters, and a swamp with a middle no one has ever reached.Have you experienced a Bigfoot sighting, Sasquatch encounter, Dogman experience, UFO sighting, or any unexplained cryptid or paranormal event deep in the woods?

Elsewhere in sports, Jalen Brunson helped the Knicks win the NBA Championship with an injured wrist that required surgery, the IOC is going to allow Russians to compete in the Olympics in Los Angeles, the Packers' Jayden Reed recently got engaged, and the Tartan Army may have left America…but they recently made a massive donation to a charity in Massachusetts to help kids in the Bay State.

And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a bear that busted into an occupied hotel room in Tibet, a robot vacuum that exploded and critically injured a man in Australia, a Little League president that's being accused of embezzling a ton of money from the league, and a killer elephant in Nepal that's killed a bunch of people.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on America in the MorningTexas Primary Results Texas voters have made their choice in several primary runoff elections that could shift the balance of power in Congress in November, and it was also another case of a President Trump endorsement that put a candidate over the top.  Correspondent Clayton Neville reports a longtime GOP Senator is accepting a rare defeat.   Washington State Tank Implosion A search and recovery operation is underway in Longview, Washington following an implosion of a tank involving hazardous chemicals at a pulp and paper mill that has left multiple people dead and injured and nine people unaccounted for.  As correspondent Lisa Dwyer reports, this is now the second hazardous materials incident on the West Coast in less than a week.  South Carolina & Alabama Redistricting News Two states made news regarding redistricting and their upcoming primary elections.  Correspondent Marcela Sanchez reports that the GOP in South Carolina backed down on their plans to redraw their maps that would have split up Democrat Jim Clyburn's district, and a court has ruled against Alabama's plan to carve out new districts what would have helped Republicans.   SCOTUS Rules Against Meta The Supreme Court has ruled against Meta in a case involving social media addiction.  Correspondent Ed Donahue explains.   Union Rideshares You can now look for the union label when you hail a ride in Massachusetts.  Ride share drivers in the Bay State have organized in what labor leaders are calling a big victory for union recognition.  Correspondent Jennifer King reports.   Paxton's Big Victory They say everything is bigger in Texas, and that includes the GOP US Senate primary runoff election between incumbent Senator John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, which became the most expensive US Senate primary race in American history with nearly $130 million dollars spent, and a lot of it on attack ads.  It's expected even more will be spent in the November election battle between Paxton and Democrat James Talarico.  Correspondent Clayton Neville is in Dallas and has a recap of the Texas primary.   Trump's Cabinet Meeting A cabinet meeting scheduled to be held at Camp David involving President Trump and his administration to discuss Iran will instead be held at the White House today.  Progress toward reaching a deal has been murky, with the US striking targets near the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran demanding billions of dollars in frozen assets be unfrozen.  Correspondent Ed Donahue reports on the ongoing negotiations.   Latest On Southern California Toxic Tank Some evacuations have been lifted but potential danger still exists in a toxic chemical situation in Southern California.  Jim Roope reports from Los Angeles that the incident just 6 miles from Disneyland is going to take a while to clean up.   GOP Says No To South Carolina Map Changes The Republican-led South Carolina state Senate voted Tuesday against advancing a new congressional map, ending the redistricting effort in the state for now and in defiance of President Trump.  Lisa Dwyer reports that the move will not eliminate a majority-Black Democrat district represented by longtime Congressman James Clyburn.

Often, when you go to the doctor or psychiatrist and tell them you're in a funk, or not feeling like yourself, they'll prescribe you a pill or some other type of medicine.

On this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Ark Prof. Albert Cheng and Alisha Searcy of the Center for Strong Public Schools speak with David Hodges, a school choice attorney with the Institute for Justice, and Ariella Hellman, director of government affairs for Agudath Israel of New England. Together, they discuss the U.S. First Circuit case Hellman v.

They talk about their experience working together on this U.S. Circuit case, exploring some of the challenges within the Massachusetts legal process.

Reynolds, reflecting on the enduring power of creativity and kindness, the legacy of The Dot, and how small acts of encouragement can ignite a child's sense of possibility.  Next, physician–author Rajani LaRocca explores the harmony between science and storytelling, sharing how her Boston roots, love of food and family, and a clinician's curiosity shape heartfelt, STEM-touched tales for young readers. The celebration continues with the dynamic duo of Phaea Crede and illustrator Jen Hill, who discuss crafting laugh-out-loud, big-hearted adventures, the alchemy of author–illustrator collaboration, and empowering kids to embrace their quirks and courage. We then welcome Scott Magoon, who opens a window into the illustrator's studio—ink, humor, and heart—revealing how visual storytelling helps children navigate wonder, worry, and everything in between. Finally, Dr. Todd Grindoll brings a clinician's clarity and compassion to conversations about children's health and resilience, offering practical wisdom for families and educators alike. Together, these voices illuminate Massachusetts as a creative ecosystem—where libraries, classrooms, and kitchen tables nurture the readers, dreamers, and makers of tomorrow.

Major changes in hunting access, fisheries policy, and fall opportunities every outdoorsman should hear. This week's TSV Roundup delivers a packed briefing on the biggest conservation and policy developments shaping hunting, fishing, and outdoor access across the country. We open with Massachusetts' sweeping new gun laws—and what those changes mean for hunters, sportsmen, and future access on Bay State lands. You'll hear why these policies are raising red flags for gun owners, conservation advocates, and anyone concerned about the future of lawful hunting traditions. From there, we break down how Federal Duck Stamp dollars continue to drive waterfowl habitat restoration, wetlands conservation, and public access for waterfowl hunters. If you chase ducks, dabble in waterfowl hunting, or just want a deeper understanding of how wetlands get funded, this segment gives you the essential context behind one of America's most successful conservation tools. We also cover a major forest restoration effort on Oregon's Rogue River–Siskiyou National Forest—work that strengthens wildlife habitat, supports big-game hunting opportunities, improves watersheds, and reduces wildfire risk across critical access areas. In the Southwest, we provide a clear update on CWD surveillance in Arizona and what hunters should know about testing rules, carcass transport, and keeping this devastating disease out of the state. Finally, we close with fall fishing opportunities across the Great Plains, including trout stocking updates, cold-water angling strategies, and why musky and winter trout fishing are heating up as temperatures cool. Whether you hunt deer, chase ducks, or fish through the fall, this episode equips you with the insider knowledge you need heading into the holiday season.   Get the FREE Sportsmen's Voice e-publication in your inbox every Monday: www.congressionalsportsmen.org/newsletter   Follow The Sportsmen's Voice wherever you get your podcasts: https://podfollow.com/1705085498  Learn more about your ad choices.
