J Darrin Gross I'd like to ask you. David Codrea, what is the BIGGEST RISK?   David Codrea For me, what I see as the biggest risk that impacts my business the most is time. So it looks at it, there's a huge benefit to time, but there's also a huge risk if you are not able to get the ball moving on things so extended vacancy or or even just time to make a decision if it takes too long for your organization to get things through, to make, get, get approval for something, or make a decision on what you're going to do with this tenant or that tenant. I think that that can lead to a lot of risk. Because one, you've got an organization that doesn't really know, like, hey, which? How are we making a decision? When? When are we going to make the decision? And no one knows you have, you know, opportunities that can be missed because of inability to move.   And I think we've, if you look at business as a whole, a lot of times, really, really big companies. These look like the 10 biggest companies that are out there. It used to be that big companies would get slower, and now the more the shift is, some of these big organizations are just getting faster and faster and faster. If you look at Amazon, they're they've just been pushing to go faster. It used to be you get something delivered in a couple days, and then it became next day. And now it's like, Hey, can we do the same day? Like they're getting faster. I think they're realizing that time is time is the biggest risk that they have to for them to lose a customer in my business, you know, I'm not Amazon, but if we don't get back to people, we're going to lose them. You know that that mentality is shifting through to everyone. Everyone Everyone wants everything right now. So if you don't have a way to do things faster and avoid that loss of time, that's the biggest risk that's out there. And probably for any business. https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidcodrea

Summary In this conversation, Mark Walters and David Codrea delve into the complexities surrounding the Second Amendment and gun control. They discuss the implications of the 'common use' argument, the distinction between self-defense and militia purposes, and the political landscape regarding gun rights. Personal anecdotes highlight how perspectives on gun ownership can change over time, emphasizing the importance of understanding the historical context of the Second Amendment. Takeaways The Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms without infringement. The concept of 'common use' is often manipulated in gun control debates. Self-defense is only one aspect of the Second Amendment's purpose. Political figures can evolve in their views on gun rights. Machine guns and other arms should be accessible to law-abiding citizens. The government has historically overstepped its constitutional authority regarding firearms. Personal experiences can significantly alter one's stance on gun ownership. The militia aspect of the Second Amendment is often overlooked in legal arguments. Gun control laws disproportionately affect law-abiding citizens rather than criminals. Understanding the historical context of the Second Amendment is crucial for current debates.

Todays show is an encore of David Codrea's appearance on 1/30/25

Lee Williams wrote the original story covered here on AAR by Lee on Tuesday's show and Codrea follows up with his take on the travesty.

Today on AAR Daily Defense, Mark chats with the great David Codrea on the NYC shooter updates as the story continues to evolve.

Today on AAR Daily Defense, Mark chats with long-time AAR contributor, blogger, and citizen journalist, David Codrea. Topics include the makeup of the Trump cabinet from a gun rights perspective. Mark and David discuss bills likely to move quickly...or not...and then turn attention to Pam Bondi for AG. David is no fan and eloquently articulates the reasons why, including her past support for anti-gun measures in Florida as state AG. Mark counters with analogies and gives her the benefit of waiting out the hearings. She will no doubt be put on the spot during the confirmation process and allowed to articulate her 2A positions moving forward as AG.

Today on Armed American Radio Daily Defense, Mark talks with David Codrea from Waronguns.com about the state of the nation post-Trump election victory and what it means for our 2nd Amendment gun rights going forward.

The legacy media failures were also discussed in detail and how the breakdown of failed media will impact the Trump administration. Will the media be relevant moving into the future post-election after so many lies and bias were obvious? Will media ever be trusted again on any level by voters? The consensus on AAR is NO.
