The Agency Brief Note ♻️ THE NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT (1934) (Cold Open) "In 1934, Congress looked at a few gangsters with Tommy guns and decided to put every future gun owner on probation… forever… without ever proving we did anything wrong." (The Brief) THE ORIGIN STORY: PANIC AND OPPORTUNISM The Setup: Prohibition ends in 1933. Federal agencies face budget cuts. They need a new war. They choose "The War on Crime." The Hook: DOJ uses the St. Valentine's Day Massacre to sell a "gangster gun" crisis. The Bait & Switch: The NFA was pitched as a tax on "criminal weapons," but the original bill attempted to register all handguns. The NRA (back when they were Fudds) helped kill the handgun portion but let the rest slide. Crucial Detail: SBR/SBS restrictions were only in the bill to prevent people from hiding pistols. When pistols were removed, Congress left the SBR rules in. We are regulating barrel length today because of a 1934 legislative error. THE MECHANISM: A BAN DISGUISED AS A TAX The "Poll Tax": They couldn't ban guns (2A exists), so they used the Taxing Power. The Cost: $200 in 1934. Inflation Adjustment: That is roughly $4,500 today. Intent: It was an economic ban designed to ensure only the wealthy could own modern firepower. The Registry: The true goal was the NFRTR (National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record). Registration is always the prerequisite for confiscation. THE LEGAL COVER-UP: U.S. V. MILLER (1939) The Supreme Court case that upheld the NFA was a setup. The Fix: The defendant, Jack Miller, was dead before the decision was handed down. His court-appointed attorney did not show up to argue the case. The Ruling: The Government argued unopposed that a sawed-off shotgun had no "militia utility." The Court agreed, solely because no one was there to tell them otherwise. THE MODERN IMPACT & REGULATORY CREEP 1986 Hughes Amendment: Proved the danger of registries. Congress used the NFA list to ban all new machine guns for civilians. Note: The Hughes Amendment passed on a fraudulent voice vote where the "Nays" clearly had it, but the Speaker pushed it through. ATF Power Grabs: The NFA definitions are vague. This allows the ATF to write law without Congress (e.g., Pistol Braces, Bump Stocks, Triggers). Culture War: It normalized the "Two-Tier" system. The wealthy buy what they want; the poor get what they are given. CONSTITUTIONAL ANALYSIS (POST-BRUEN) The Vulnerability: Under the Bruen test (Text, History, Tradition), the NFA is on death's door. The History: There is zero historical tradition of the Founding Fathers taxing the ownership of standard arms or creating a federal list of owners. The Argument: The government claims these weapons are "dangerous and unusual." We argue they are only unusual because the government has spent 90 years threatening to put us in prison for owning them.

New York Targets Polymer80 Seller, Life Sentence ♻️ New York authorities are pursuing severe legal action against a seller of Polymer80 ghost gun kits, seeking a life sentence, highlighting aggressive enforcement against unserialized firearm components.

Everytown Is Lying About Impact of National Reciprocity, Again ♻️ Article accuses Everytown for Gun Safety of misrepresenting the effects of national concealed carry reciprocity legislation, claiming their arguments exaggerate risks and ignore benefits for law-abiding gun owners. ATF/DEA Merger Appears DOA ♻️ Reports indicate that plans to merge the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) are effectively dead on arrival (DOA), halting a proposed consolidation of federal law enforcement agencies. NC Lawmakers Dragging Their Feet on Constitutional Carry ♻️ North Carolina lawmakers are delaying progress on constitutional carry legislation, frustrating gun rights advocates amid ongoing debates over permitless carry.

In this episode of History's Mysteries, we're diving into one of the bloodiest and most debated events in early modern Europe: the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre. Thousands of French Protestants were brutally murdered in August 1572, after what was supposed to be a royal wedding that symbolized peace. Historians have argued for centuries about who was responsible — and today, we're asking the big question: Did Catherine de Medici order it? This episode blends historical analysis, feminist storytelling, and intuitive tarot reading to look at Catherine de Medici not as a caricature, but as a complex political operator navigating power, survival, and legacy in a brutal era.

Synopsis: As concerns about rolled-back protections grow louder, whistleblowers at HUD have risked it all by going public with allegations that paint a stark picture of systematic regression on equality under the law.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: Housing discrimination is illegal in the U.S., but every year, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) receives thousands of complaints from individuals who believe they are not being treated fairly because of their race, religion, disability and other protected classes. HUD is one of the only free resources available to Americans facing housing discrimination, but a shocking new whistleblower complaint letter released on Monday, September 29, 2025 says the agency is in crisis. Staff was slashed by 70% since Donald Trump took office, some civil rights cases have been abandoned, and political appointees are allegedly overriding legal findings to allow discrimination. These are just some of the claims in the formal complaint letter, which has now been filed through U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren's office and taken to the press. In this conversation, Laura Flanders speaks to two of the four whistleblowers, HUD civil rights fair housing attorneys, to find out what this story means for civil rights and why they're speaking out now. As fair housing hangs in the balance, Palmer Heenan and Paul Osadebe are organizing union members to uphold their oath to defend the constitution and protect Americans.Guests:• Palmer Heenan: Attorney, HUD Whistleblower; Member, AFGE 476• Paul Osadebe: Attorney, HUD Whistleblower; Steward, AFGE 476 Full Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation.

Al Capone's Beer Wars: A Complete History of Organized Crime in Chicago during Prohibition- John BinderAlthough much has been written about Al Capone, there has not been--until now--a complete history of organized crime in Chicago during Prohibition. This exhaustively researched book covers the entire period from 1920 to 1933. Author John J. Binder, a recognized authority on the history of organized crime in Chicago, discusses all the important bootlegging gangs in the city and the suburbs and also examines the other major rackets, such as prostitution, gambling, labor and business racketeering, and narcotics.A major focus is how the Capone gang -- one of twelve major bootlegging mobs in Chicago at the start of Prohibition--gained a virtual monopoly over organized crime in northern Illinois and beyond. Binder also describes the fight by federal and local authorities, as well as citizens' groups, against organized crime. In the process, he refutes numerous myths and misconceptions related to the Capone gang, other criminal groups, the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, and gangland killings.What emerges is a big picture of how Chicago's underworld evolved during this period. This broad perspective goes well beyond Capone and specific acts of violence and brings to light what was happening elsewhere in Chicagoland and after Capone went to jail.Based on 25 years of research and using many previously unexplored sources, this fascinating account of a bloody and colorful era in Chicago history will become the definitive work on the subject.https://amzn.to/4oQJu58Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
A medal for a massacre. A Te Deum for thousands of deaths. A celebration that still shocks centuries later. On this day in history—11 September 1572—Pope Gregory XIII ordered Rome to give thanks for not one, but two "victories": the Catholic triumph over the Ottomans at Lepanto and the mass slaughter of French Protestants during the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre. In this episode: The shocking papal reaction to the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre The political and religious tensions behind Gregory's “thanksgiving” Why he linked the massacre with the naval victory at Lepanto The commemorative medal and what it tells us about 16th-century propaganda Gregory XIII's surprising legacy—from calendar reform to Jesuit patronage To some, it was divine justice.

The rich and powerful Guise family was one of the most treacherous and bloodthirsty in sixteenth-century France. They whipped up religious bigotry, overthrowing the king. They ruled Scotland for nearly 20 years through Mary Queen of Scots, plotting to invade England and overthrow Elizabeth I. And they unleashed the bloody Wars of Religion, playing a crucial role in the murder of 4,000 Protestants in the infamous Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre.In this final episode for Not Just the Tudors' Tudor True Crime month, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to Professor Stuart Carroll - author of Martyrs and Murderers: The Guise Family and the Making of Europe - about this cultivated, charismatic and violent dynasty.MORE:Catherine d'Medici: Serpent Queen >Mary Queen of Scots' Lost Letters Decoded >Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

Catherine De Medici played a historically controversial role in trying to mediate relations between Catholics and Huguenots during the conflicts of the 16th century
A royal wedding meant to bring peace… instead ended in one of the bloodiest massacres of the 16th century. On 18th August 1572, Henry of Navarre—leader of the French Huguenots and future King Henry IV—married Margaret of Valois, daughter of King Henry II and Catherine de' Medici, at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. This marriage was supposed to heal France's religious divisions between Protestants and Catholics. But just six days later, the streets of Paris ran red with blood in the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre. - Admiral Gaspard de Coligny, the Huguenot leader, was shot in an attempted assassination… - Before dawn on 24th August, he was murdered and thrown from a window… - What followed was three days of brutal killings in Paris, spreading to towns and cities across France. Between 10,000 and 30,000 Protestants were slaughtered in one of the darkest chapters of the Reformation. In today's episode of On This Day in Tudor History, I explore: - The political and religious stakes behind the marriage - The attempted assassination that sparked panic - The horrific wave of violence that shocked Europe - What became of Henry of Navarre and Margaret of Valois Have you heard of the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre before?

During Prohibition, this ruthless group of Jewish-American gangsters ruled Detroit's underworld, controlling liquor smuggling routes, running speakeasies, and even outmuscling Al Capone's Chicago Outfit—at least for a while. Feared by rivals, untouchable by cops, and even suspected in the infamous St. Valentine's Day Massacre, the Purple Gang's reign was explosive, chaotic, and ultimately short-lived. This is the wild story of one of the most dangerous and overlooked crime syndicates in American history.Subscribe to our YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@bangdangnetworkBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/outlaws-gunslingers--4737234/support.
John Evans was one of Howard Browne's many pseudonyms Even during his lifetime, Howard Browne (1908-1999) was not well known outside of his given fields. His novels, including his best detective fiction, were written under pseudonyms, and his work as editor and Hollywood writer, through credited, remained mostly unknown, except by those in the business. During his long lifetime Browne published hundreds of stories in science fiction and detective magazines, along with several novels. He wrote dozens of television shows including Mission Impossible, Run for Your Life, Maverick and Cheyenne, and three of his film scripts were produced: Portrait of a Mobster with Vic Morrow; The St. Valentine's Day Massacre with Jason Robards and George Segal; and Capone, starring Ben Gazzara. He also wrote radio scripts in the late 1940s. His day job, before he went to Hollywood, was as an associate editor under Ray Palmer and then editor for Ziff-Davis pulp magazines, which included Amazing Stories, Fantastic Adventures and other lesser known fiction magazines. Richard A. Lupoff interviewed Howard Browne at Browne's home in Southern California some time in the mid 1980s (the cassettes aren't labeled). This was Browne's only radio interview, and only the second extant interview on record (the other appeared in Locus Magazine). After he retired, Howard Browne taught a couple of college classes and worked on a big Chicago novel that never saw publication. Most of his work is out of print today, though his four noir novels, in the style of Raymond Chandler and featuring a detective named Paul Pine, are available in a small press edition published this past spring by Haffner Press, with an introduction by Richard A. Lupoff. If you go to Imdb, you'll find a long list of his television shows, many of which can be found streaming. Curiously, his novel Thin Air formed the basis for his first television credit, on the show Climax in 1955, and his last, for an episode of Simon and Simon in 1982. Thin Air was also the basis for an episode on yet a third program, The Rockford Files. Two minor points: Browne says he never wrote for Hawaiian Eye, yet IMDb claims he wrote an episode, and he says he retired in 1973 but his credits extend to 1975.

Jun Fujita is the Japanese-American photographer behind some of the most recognizable photographs taken in Chicago in the 20th century, including his shots of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre of 1929, the Eastland passenger boat disaster of 1915, and the 1919 Chicago race riots. Fujita was also a published poet and something of a regional celebrity, known for socializing with William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway. Fujita's foreign identity also made him the subject of government inquiry and suspicion on multiple occasions — during both World War I and World War II — according to Graham Lee, Fujita's great-nephew and the author of a new Fujita biography, “Jun Fujita: Behind the Camera.” After Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, Fujita's assets were frozen, his business was shuttered, his cameras were taken away, and he constrained himself to Chicago to avoid possible internment, Lee said. How did Fujita navigate this perilous time for an immigrant in Chicago? We sat down with Lee to discuss how Fujita, a “supremely confident person,” came to rely on both the support of his community and his wits.

Joey does NOT have Valentine's Day plans with "college boy," so what will the gang be doing for the Hallmarkiest of holidays? Attending an ANTI-Valentine's Day party thrown by Matt Caulfield, some rich jerk from school we've never heard of before -- and since the event is very secret and exclusive so it doesn't get raided by cops, finding it requires a little tradecraft. Everyone should be motivated to figure out where to go, since they have a visitor to impress: Kate (Alexandra Breckenridge!), Jack's ex-girlfriend from Rhode Island. She's fresh off a breakup, so Pacey decides the best way to get her through it is for Dawson to try to hook up with her -- and you KNOW Joey is as judgy about that as she was about the party itself until she actually showed up for it. Elsewhere, it's finally time for the date Henry and Jen have been talking about for several episodes. Henry got the meal comped, but still wants to arrive with a gift, and the best way he can think of to make some quick cash is not to do more odd jobs for his elderly benefactress but to sell his plasma...a lot.

Following the bloody St Brice's Day Massacre, of the 13th of November 1002, which saw King Æthelred brutally exterminating the Danes from England, the Vikings were hungry for revenge. None more so than the terrifying Scandinavian King, Sweyn Forkbeard. Having capitalised on his famous father, Harold Bluetooth's unification of Norway and Denmark, through his aggressive christianisation of the formerly pagan peoples there, Sweyn had built up a formidable force. It was this power that Æthelred had unwisely taunted, underestimating the might of the Danes. He would pay the price only a few short months later when Sweyn's terrible fleet landed at Wilton Abbey in Wessex - one of the greatest symbols of the House of Alfred the Great - to bleed England dry, and destroy her King. Time and time again, from this date onwards, Sweyn's Danish raids would devastate England, even going so far as to lock the Archbishop of Canterbury in a cage…by 1013 Æthelred's reign was essentially over, his family having fled to Normandy, and England under Danish rule. But then, the death of Sweyn Forkbeard would change everything, setting in motion another titanic war of succession, this time pitting the Scandinavian Cnut against Æthelred's son Edmund Ironside. Who would triumph in this climactic clash of would-be kings? Join Tom and Dominic as they discuss the revenge of the vikings and the rise of Cnut, as 1066 and the Battle of Hastings loom into view...

Al Capone wasn't just a gangster—he was a mastermind who built an empire on bootlegging, bribery, and bloodshed. But no event cemented his reputation like the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre. On February 14, 1929, seven of Bugs Moran's men were lined up in a Chicago garage and executed in a hail of seventy bullets. The massacre shocked the nation, turning Capone into Public Enemy #1 and igniting a federal crackdown that would eventually bring him down. Who really ordered the hit? Was it Capone, corrupt cops, or an inside job? Theories have swirled for nearly a century, and the truth remains one of America's coldest cases. Join me as I unravel the rise and fall of Al Capone in this deep dive into one of the most infamous mob hits of all time. #AlCapone, #ValentinesDayMassacre, #TrueCrime, #OrganizedCrime, #MafiaHistory, #BugsMoran, #EliotNess, #CrimeHistory, #MobBoss, #ProhibitionEra, #ChicagoCrime, #PublicEnemyNumberOne, #SaintValentinesDayMassacre, #CaponeLegacy, #GangsterWars, #MobViolence, #TrueCrimeStory, #CrimeDocumentary, #MafiaTales, #TrueCrimeAddict, #UnsolvedMysteries, #HistoryChannel, #LaurenceFishburne, #CrimeInvestigation, #Bootlegging, #Mobsters, #CrimeLords, #HistoryLover, #GangsterLife, #TrueCrimeCommunity, #HistorysGreatestMysteries=======================================History's Greatest Mysteries: Al Capone https://play.history.com/shows/historys-greatest-mysteries/season-6/episode-3Order a copy of Deceived or She Knew No Fear and get the book signed for free! https://www.ProfilingEvil.comDONATE to Profiling Evil: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455SSUPPORT our Podcasts: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1213394/support

In this episode of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” Sara tackles the Biden-Harris administration's immigration failures and national security risks. The DOJ has charged Afghan refugee Nasir Ahmad Tawhidi, flown in through Operation Allies Refuge, with planning an ISIS terrorist attack. Sara highlights the administration's lack of vetting in refugee resettlement, stressing the dangers this poses, especially in border states like Texas. Concerns over unchecked immigration, crime, and cultural impact are raised, alongside calls for mass deportations to protect American towns. Chloe Cole, an 18-year-old de-transitioner, shares her story after undergoing sex-change procedures as a teen. Now an advocate with Do No Harm, Chloe discusses the launch of StopTheHarmDatabase.com, which tracks hospitals performing these procedures on minors. She urges parents to use this resource to avoid harmful medical interventions. Chad Prather joins Sara to discuss Democrat Tim Walz's call to abolish the Electoral College, a position supported by figures like Hillary Clinton and John Kerry. Chad emphasizes the importance of the Electoral College in preventing mob rule and criticizes the Left's control over culture and media. Chad also discusses his new anthem "Watered Down," featuring John Rich, which highlights the erosion of American values. He encourages conservatives to support projects that reclaim the culture. The video is available on YouTube with the song on Apple Music and Spotify. Sara was joined by Kyle Mann, editor in chief of the Babylon Bee, and Logan Hall, digital strategist with Blaze Media.
