Today's show rundown: It occurred to Chuck, how the Democrats really feel about America. Not the average Democrat voter, Im talking the Elites - Mark says they think the American people are stupid (remember Hillary). Chuck says the Dems in Washington hold up Biden like he is a saint with "all he has accomplished". But he hasn't done anything for the average person, and it is disturbing that these Elitists feel that you just do not matter to them. You don't hear much about the DOJ filing against the State of Georgia. Chuck goes into quoting Game of Thrones..."Chaos if the ladder to power" - clearly some of these characters were Democrats. This is the reason Ben Franklin said those who trade temporary freedom for security shall have neither. The Left wants to make it so chaotic that people will just give up their rights. Pelosi gets up there and acts like she is all in on going to war with Russia. We are introduced to our guest today, and Chuck starts us out with a question about crime - why are people in NYC, Chicago and places like that, why are they tolerating the crime that is going on. John tells us that its just not that risky to be a criminal in these cities right now. With cuts to the Police and lesser punishments for serious crimes, its no big deal to be a violent criminal in these democratic havens. More about John Lott, Jr.: Dr. John R.

On this episode of Blunt Force Truth, Chuck and Mark are joined by John Lott, Jr. John brings a wealth of expertise on gun and crime statistics as they discuss the recent mass shootings. Chuck and Mark get John’s thoughts on the Democrats’ calls for gun control. They discuss how Democrats are ignoring the issue of mental health and using horrible acts of violence for political ends. They discuss how an assault weapon ban would not solve any issues and how criminals will find ways around it. Chuck and Mark finish up discussing gun laws, mental illness, and red flag laws.
