Podcasts about Gun control

Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt joins Adam and Jordana in studio.

Talk Back to MeFollowing the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a manhunt continues in the minds and perhaps hearts of Americans. A great interest in identifying the killer illustrates the divide between citizens of the United States. As of now, we have a story building. The FBI has its story, its culprit, and not two but three main reactions represent this divide. There are the components of the story, reasons for doubt, and a narrative of who to blame. Information regarding the killing of Charlie Kirk spills out across the media, watering conversations about high American politics around the kitchen table. Citizens wait in anticipation for the identity, particularly the political identity of the killer, some to hold it over their political enemies, others to find some resolution in what happened. It's a dark world out there, and while the assassination of Charlie Kirk is already called a watershed moment, Americans are yet uncertain about what the ramifications will be. Use Code 2025deaddrop10 for 10% off your order at obsidianarms.comThis episode has been sponsored by Obsidian Arms, a manufacturer of tools, parts, and firearms, as well as an OEM shop for those seeking to bring excellence to the market.

CRPA Legislative Director Rick Travis joins Cam to talk about the passage of AB 1127 and two other gun control bill adopted in the final hours of this year's legislative session in Sacrament.

In this episode, the hosts reflect on the somber anniversary of 9/11, discussing the recent political violence and its implications for freedom of speech. They explore the fragility of society, the desensitization to gun violence, and the importance of empathy in today's world. Personal anecdotes about safety in their work and experiences in a recent softball playoff highlight the need for community and kindness. The conversation wraps up with thoughts on a viral incident involving a Phillies Karen fan, emphasizing the importance of treating others with respect and compassion. www.patreon.com/aitdpod https://discord.gg/hm8WMUKVF8 Takeaways No one deserves violence for expressing their beliefs. Political violence is unacceptable, regardless of ideology. The current political climate is fragile and concerning. Empathy is crucial in navigating societal issues. Gun violence and mental health are intertwined problems. Communication is essential for resolving disagreements. Recent events highlight the desensitization to violence. Personal safety is a growing concern for many. Community support and kindness are vital in tough times. We must strive to treat each other with respect.  Chapters 00:00 Remembering 9/11 and Its Impact 00:50 Political Violence and Its Consequences 06:27 The Fragility of Political Discourse 11:37 The Role of Media and Social Media in Violence 17:27 Gun Control and Public Safety Solutions 23:40 Empathy in a Divided Society 28:55 Reflections on Loss and Danger in Driving 35:13 Empathy in the Face of Tragedy 35:41 Union Dynamics and Workplace Challenges 38:23 Softball Playoffs: Triumphs and Trials 44:25 The Philly's Karen Incident: A Lesson in Kindness THE OPINIONS EXPRESSED OR VIEWS EXPRESSED ON THIS PODCAST ARE THOSE OF THE HOSTS AND GUESTS AND DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT ANY DELIVERY COMPANY  

A high-profile political assassination splits the nation; half in grief, half in outrage. Guns and division headline the show, and Travis and P.J. try to untangle the emotional knot we call America. Great Law. Less Legal. Law Done Lite!

Those who offered to pray after a recent national tragedy have been criticized by some who have commented that we should "do something instead of just praying about it". Obviously, this intentionally overlooks the point that the two are not mutually exclusive and many who pray are also active in numerous other ways in society. So, then, why the criticism of prayer and which is more important - efforts to improve public safety or prayers for those impacted by its failure? #guncontrol #prayer 

Mike Lomas and Glenn Wiggle rip into the chaos of Democrat-run cities, exposing how crime statistics are being manipulated while violence actually worsens. From D.C.'s soaring murder rate to California's crumbling streets, they argue that lenient sentencing and bail reform are fueling lawlessness by design—just another path to more gun control and government power. The guys highlight Florida as a blueprint for real crime reduction, call out corruption enriching career politicians like AOC and Elizabeth Warren, and revisit the overreach of COVID mandates that stripped away freedom. Packed with blunt takes and sharp criticism, this episode drives home the need for smaller government, voter ID, and accountability to restore common sense in America.(00:03:11) Compassionate Approach to Mental Health in Society(00:04:34) Gun Control: Political Motives and Hypocrisy(00:08:26) Impact of Reduced Penalties on Crime Rates(00:13:23) Impact of Lenient Gun Control Policies(00:16:18) "Florida's Innovative Crime Reduction Strategies"(00:24:23) Stricter Gun Control Measures Across Nations(00:33:00) Control of Public Discourse on Social Media(00:39:03) Washington, D.C.'s Violent Crime Reporting Bias(00:41:08) CIA Links to Tragedies: Suspicion and Intrigue

Monday Headlines: Anti-mass immigration rallies condemned as hateful and racist, wife of alleged gunman Dezi Freeman urges him to surrender, Greta Thunberg is sailing to Gaza again, house prices have officially risen again, and your sushi might taste different in South Australia today. Deep Dive: Australia’s rising gun ownership is in the national spotlight, as a manhunt continues for Dezi Freeman, a gunman accused of killing two police officers in Victoria last week. Despite fewer licensed gun owners, the number of firearms in Australia has surged past pre-Port Arthur massacre levels, raising concerns about regulation and transparency. In this episode of The Briefing, Helen Smith is joined by Joel Negin, professor of Global Health from the University of Sydney, to discuss shifting gun culture, political responses, and whether Australia’s gun laws are still fit for purpose.

Wanna hear the Full Episode? Sign up for the Grad Program! Occam Defense Pistol Discussion The discussion centered on the Occam Defense OD-1775 pistol, which Jarrad described as a smaller version of the rifle, featuring walnut wood and a powerful 10.5-inch barrel. The professor explained that the OD-1775 is considered the "Cadillac of AKs" and noted that Occam Defense also makes accessories for various rifles, including a magwell for Ruger American Ranch rifles. The conversation concluded with a discussion about the evolution of military optics, particularly the adoption of EOTech holographic weapon sights and magnifiers during the Global War on Terror, with the professor having recently published an article about pairing the EOTech XPS2 with a 3x magnifier. Challenges in Mechanical Offset Calculations The discussion focused on the challenges of calculating mechanical offsets in shooting, particularly with high risers on optics. The professor expressed concerns about the trend of using excessive risers, noting that it complicates shooting and training. Jarrad explained that learning to calculate offsets takes time and practice, even in controlled conditions. The conversation also touched on the influence of social media on gear choices, with the Professor warning against buying unnecessary accessories before mastering current equipment. Good Samaritan Stabbing Case Update The group discussed a story about an American "Good Samaritan" stabbed in Germany after intervening when two men were harassing female passengers on a tram. The attacker was arrested but later released due to lack of sufficient evidence linking him to the stabbing, despite having previous charges. Jarrad shared details about his Occam Defense pistol, including its specifications and customization options, and mentioned that deposits are currently being accepted for the firearm. Gun Control's Futility and Absurdity The discussion focused on the futility of gun control measures, using examples from England, Australia, and other countries where disarmament has not reduced violent crime. The professor emphasized that gun control is ultimately about control and that left-wing ideologies, including communism and socialism, seek to disarm citizens to increase state power. The conversation concluded with a discussion of Australia's recent ban on machetes, highlighting the absurdity of such restrictions and the failure of gun control to address the root causes of crime.

Since the tragic school shooting in Minnesota, the nation is once again left grappling with the same painful questions: how do we prevent tragedies like this from happening again? In the aftermath, both media outlets and political leaders have reignited the debate over possible solutions. As has been the case after nearly every mass shooting, the issue of gun control has quickly taken center stage. Some argue for stricter background checks, limitations on assault-style weapons, and tighter restrictions on gun purchases, while others maintain that the focus should be on mental health resources, school security, and community intervention programs. The discussion reflects a deeply divided nation—one that is searching for answers but often struggles to agree on what those answers should look like. Freedom Marketplace: https://freedommarketplace.net The Stack: https://www.toddhuffshow.com/stack-of-stuff Email: todd@toddhuffshow.comPhone: 317.210.2830Follow us on…Instagram: @toddhuffshowFacebook: The Todd Huff ShowTwitter: @toddhuffshowLinkedIn: The Todd Huff ShowTikTok: @toddhuffshowSupport Our Partners:https://www.toddhuffshow.com/partners Links:https://www.mypillow.com/todd Promo Code: TODDhttps://mystore.com/toddhttps://soltea.com - Promo Code TODD for $29.95 off your first orderRed, White, & Brand – Text TODD at 317-210-2830 for a 10% discount.

As a lifelong Democrat, I always thought the problem of gun violence was easy to solve. Just get rid of the guns. It was one of the most important issues for us as Bill Clinton rallied voters to the polls in 1992. But back then, it wasn't mass shootings that we worried about. It was handguns. Just look at this scene in Aaron Sorkin's The American President, released in 1995, where Michael Douglas has to bury protecting the climate to pass a weapons bill, but by the end, he realizes he doesn't have to sacrifice anything. He can and will get both.Four years later, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold would become famous by shooting up Columbine High School with illegally purchased weapons. That led to the renewal of the now-expired 1994 Assault Weapons Ban originally implemented after Patrick Edward Purdy killed five children at an elementary school in Stockton, California, in 1989. We had a joke back then called “going postal,” referring to the same kind of person who would open fire on post offices or other office buildings. It seemed like men reacted violently to being rejected, either by a job or a woman. School shootings were rare. But Columbine hit differently than any tragedy that came before it.It wasn't just the crime itself; it was the pleasure the shooters took in carrying it out, performing for the security cameras, the casual cruelty, and later, how they became subversive icons. All of these years later, many of our early theories about them turned out to be wrong. They weren't really bullied. For them, it was more about the thrill of killing and gaining fame for it. By 1999, two significant changes had occurred in American society. The 24-hour news cycle, thanks to the O.J. Simpson trial, and the rise of the internet, which could give us our news even faster. However, it did something else as well. It allowed ordinary people to become famous overnight. That's still true. Anyone can get famous for anything. Mass shooters also have their influencers and platforms. But even more importantly, like the Columbine shooters, they are all caught up in the romance of building a mythology behind their planned shootings, their grand statements against society as they carry out their evil acts. They seem to have empathy for other shooters. They want to be like them. They want to be feared and remembered. The more evil the deed, the greater the myth. The endgame always seems to be suicide, go out with a bang. Solving that problem, understanding it, trying to get ahead of it, proved too difficult, so we pivoted to the guns. Always the guns. Just get rid of the guns, and the problem will be solved.Like these TikTokers: I used to believe that. I also demonized people who carried them, and it was an easy excuse to blame the other side. What else is new? At least we want to do something about it, I would say. For this reason, I began studying mass shooters. I thought that if I could identify the one thing they had in common, maybe we could find a way to reach them before they decide to pick up a gun.Every time I brought it up to anyone I knew on the Left, I would always get the same answer: it's the guns. Take away the guns, solve the problem. They didn't want to talk about anything else. If you lived through the Oklahoma City bombing and 9/11, it seemed obvious that if people want to kill, there are other ways. Just look at suicide bombers, or people who drive trucks through crowds, or go on stabbing sprees. No, guns just made it easier, but taking them away is not only impossible, it doesn't solve the problem. In my research, I came across a site called GunViolence.org. They lay out just how rare mass shootings are compared to the rest of the shootings in America. I was shocked when I actually looked at the numbers. Here is their ten-year review:Gun deaths are part of the everyday reality for many working-class families living in high-crime cities, and yet, in the post-George Floyd America, even talking about “Black on Black” crime is strictly verboten. It has to be the guns. On August 27, the same day as the most recent shooting in Minneapolis at a Catholic school, several other people lost their lives to gun violence. Like this:And this:And this - a man shot in his home in Mississippi. Two more:How about this shooting, captured on Facebook Live and viewed by millions in Chicago: The same party that thinks guns are the problem have not only refused Trump's help to bring in the National Guard to clean up crime, but have also attempted to “defund the police,” called all police “racists” all through 2020, and continue to ignore crime in cities like Los Angeles where all of the products have to be locked away and criminals aren't even prosecuted for theft under $1000.There is no question that the Democrat brand lately stands for defending and protecting criminals and crime rather than protecting citizens. They won't talk about how residents in DC are relieved to be able to walk on the streets and feel safe at night. This latest shooter, Robert/Robin Westman, bought his guns legally. Giffords.org gives Minnesota a grade of “B.” Yet, here are their suggestions to improve that grade:None of these improvements would have stopped Westman from shooting his gun through the window while Catholic students were praying on the second day of school. He did it because he knew that they were too trusting and that there would be few barriers in his way. For a guy like Westman, or any of the latest trend of trans and nonbinary perpetrators of violence, wearing a mask of a woman offers an extra layer of protection, but it also reveals someone who doesn't want to be who he is in a society that no longer has any use for men. Not only won't they look into it, but their greatest fear coming out of the event was whether they would offend the transgender community.You see how easy it is to blame the guns? Then, you never have to look at anything else, uncomfortable things, things no one can even talk about.And for those complaining that the Republicans are “politicizing a tragedy,” know this: all the Democrats have done for the last 30 years is politicize tragedies. Never let a crisis go to waste. And the answer is always the guns. Because “it's the guns,” we never had to face what we'd done to contribute to making this country worse. We never had to confront what the feminist movement had done to men. Listen to how these women talk on TikTok. It isn't just that men have fled the Democratic Party. It's that they've been abandoned by them and, worse, they've been demonized.I am not excusing violence, certainly not mass murder, certainly not of children. But how can we not even talk about what has happened to men over the past 20 years that has brought them to the point where so many of them feel like there is no place for them in society, that they are loathed at best, invisible at worst? And if we don't understand them, if we don't see them, if we don't know how to reach them, how can we possibly stop them? Oh, don't worry, we'll just take away the gun. That will solve the problem.We never had to confront what psych meds might have done to potential mass shooters. We weren't even allowed to bring it up lest we offend those afflicted with mental illness. At least now, under Trump, we have RFK, Jr. to take a look, finally, at whether or not these drugs had any impact on mass shootings. After the massacre at Sandy Hook, I realized we lost the gun debate. Adam Lanza's guns were locked up. But he stole them, shot his mother in the face, and went on a rampage, where he would later end his life.I knew that wasn't about the guns. It couldn't be. So what else was going on? How can we prevent this problem from happening again? The guns? Seriously? That's all you got? Yes, that's all they got. Even now. But what I know now is that we have to do the other thing. We have to pivot to protecting children — schools, churches, parks, restaurants. We must ensure our buildings are shooter-proof, just as we make sure they are earthquake-proof. Debating about guns for 30 more years isn't going to do anything. And then, we have to have a serious conversation about the deeper issues at play, not just with the most recent shooting, but with all mass shootings. How is it that they become celebrities? Why do men feel left behind? Why do they think they need something like this to be valued? Why did this shooter and so many others of late feel they had to transition or identify as something other than a man to be seen and valued? What can we do as a society to help them?We live in a take-no-prisoners new world of algorithms and isolation. It will likely disrupt our species in ways we can't even fathom. But one thing I know for sure is that to make the conversation only about guns is to be unprepared for everything that's coming next. // This is a public episode.

In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, Nate Thurston and Charles Chuck Thompson discuss a range of topics including Charles' upcoming vacation and the latest details on mass shootings. The hosts delve into the controversial issue of whether the presence of transgender individuals in mass shootings is statistically significant, dissecting online reactions and expert opinions. They discuss the challenges of gun control, analyzing different statistical sources, and emphasize the need for hardening targets rather than restricting rights. The episode also features a comprehensive analysis of translated journal entries from a recent shooter, providing insights into their motives. Join Nate and Chuck as they tackle these pressing issues with their unique blend of humor and insight. (00:00) Intro (00:33) Vacation Plans and Beach Talk (01:01) Discussing Mass Shootings (01:59) Transgender Shooter Debate (03:11) Statistical Analysis and Arguments (05:59) Philosophical and Moral Grounds (11:33) Mental Health and Gun Ownership (17:24) Jesse Waters' Commentary (26:49) Debunking Mass Shooting Myths (27:38) The Slippery Slope of Gun Control (31:00) Trans Rights and Self-Protection (36:07) Analyzing a Shooter's Manifesto (49:38) The Role of Gun-Free Zones (53:05) Conclusion and Final Thoughts  

This segment weaves together a series of controversial topics, arguing that recent events are part of a larger, coordinated political and cultural battle. The hosts first explore a perceived pattern of violence linked to transgender and gender non-conforming individuals, suggesting that mainstream media and law enforcement are actively concealing evidence to protect the Democratic Party. They specifically highlight the withholding of toxicology reports and manifestos, arguing that these documents would reveal a connection between cross-sex hormones and psychosis, a claim they base on a Google search and a translated Russian text. The conversation then pivots to the political use of tragedy, accusing Democratic politicians and media figures of using synchronized, pre-written talking points—specifically the phrase "thoughts and prayers are not enough"—to immediately push for gun control. The hosts connect this alleged coordination to a modern-day "Operation Mockingbird," a conspiracy theory that the CIA manipulates the media. This is framed as a long-term strategy to disarm the public, which the hosts warn could lead to a future like Venezuela, where only criminals and the government have guns. Finally, the hosts discuss broader cultural and economic issues, including President Donald Trump's handling of Chinese student visas and trade, and what they see as recent victories in the "culture war," citing a positive financial outcome for the American Eagle brand after a controversial ad. The segment concludes with a critique of the Democratic Party and the celebration of what they view as significant cultural and economic wins against the left.

Steve Gruber discusses news and headlines 

Jon continues to analyze the reactions and commentary in the aftermath of the tragedy at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, specifically around mental illness, religion, and transgender issues. Dr. Carole Liberman joins to share her thoughts on criminal motives and potential influences in media and society.

Chad is joined by Congresswoman Angie Craig. Chad starts the conversation with what stood out most to her yesterday when she attended the candlelight vigil held in the community that's suffering so heavily. Congresswoman Craig opens up about processing what happened through her lens as a grandmother. She then expands into her stance on banning assault rifles in our country and other pieces of legislation targeting gun violence that she's involved in on the Hill. Chad challenges the President to rally his supporters to work to do SOMETHING to address this issue. In the second segment, Chad asks about reigning in social media usage and access for young people as levels of mental health continue to plummet. Congresswoman Craig also provides her reasoning why she thinks she's the best candidate to represent the State of Minnesota in the United States Senate.

John Lott, President of the Crime Prevention and Research Center, joins to discuss the DC crime rate, if Chicago should welcome fed help, as well as what he makes of all the renewed gun control debates following the Minneapolis shooting.

Send us a textJim Brady was a popular member of the Reagan campaign , and briefly the Reagan Administration. He was gunned down in 1981 in the attempt to assassinate Ronald Reagan. He lived, but suffered permanent brain damage, leaving him paralyzed and slow to speak for the rest of his life. His wife, Sarah Brady, would go on to lead a lifelong crusade to bring some form of gun control to America. This is the story of the passage of the bill named in her husbands honor. Bob Dole opposed the legislation. This episode we will hear the floor debate between Dole and Senate Leader George Mitchell. We will learn how Dole treated everyone fairly, and we will get to see a real test between the President and the Minority Leader. In this early battle between the two leaders of their party, Clinton would win. The Brady Bill passed the House of Representatives 238 - 189 , and it passed in the United States Senate 63 - 36 with an amendment. The Bill introduced one of the things that Bob Dole had been pushing for years, a National instant background check.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

This week Lloyd reviews another article from his book “Duty to Defend,” this one by Rev. Paul J. Cain, Jr. In Hebrews 12:14 we are told that we should “strive for peace with everyone.” Does that mean we must give up our Second Amendment rights in order to fulfill this command?

Australia's gun laws are often called the gold standard for community safety, but almost 30 years on from the Port Arthur massacre that led to decisive reforms, there are more legal firearms in the country than ever before. Nour Haydar speaks with senior correspondent Sarah Martin and investigations reporter Ariel Bogle about why the number of guns in Australia is on the rise, the escalating threat of 3D-printed weaponry and why the gun lobby claims it's ‘winning' the fight against firearm control

Text a Message to the ShowToday we're talking to Rick James… no, not that Rick James.  Richard James is a chaplain with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police from the Vancouver, British Columbia area.  He is a former Canadian police officer and has been working in church ministry for several years.  He was also a police chaplain in New York State for some time.  Rick journeyed across North America and made a visit to my Kansas City studio part of his trip; at the time he held the record for furthest distance to visit me in person, but just a week after recording this, "Jake the International Security Specialist Guy" visited me from Thailand (Ep 117).  I had no idea the distance-traveled record would be broken so soon.Music is by Chris HaugenHey Chaplain Podcast Episode 120Tags:Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Chaplain, Gun Control, Firearms, Police, Reports, Training, Regimental Colors, Niagara, Regina, Vancouver, British Columbia, New York, Saskatchewan, CanadaSupport the showThanks for Listening!

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they discuss California Democrats having to accept the truth on energy, Sen. Elizabeth Warren enthusiastically endorsing the socialist agenda of Zohran Mamdani, and Jim Acosta "interviewing" the bot of a student killed in a school shooting.First, they dig into California Gov. Gavin Newsom's retreat from his aggressive green agenda. After years of vilifying oil companies and pushing to end fossil fuel use, Newsom is now trying to keep refineries open and even expand drilling. Scot and Greg explain the truth about the scope of our energy needs and the only realistic ways they will be met anytime soon.Next, they react to Sen. Elizabeth Warren backing far-left New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. She not only praises his socialist platform on housing, child care, and food prices but also claims his message is what Democrats should embrace nationwide. Scot and Greg unpack what “affordable” really means under progressive policies and how big government failures continue to pile up in America's largest cities.Finally, they recoil at former CNN anchor Jim Acosta's podcast “interview” with an AI version of Joaquin Oliver, a student killed in the 2018 Parkland school shooting. Acosta used the bot to advocate for greater gun control. Scot and Greg discuss the many ethical problems with this disturbing spectacle.Please visit our great sponsors:Talk it out, with Betterhelp.
