• 0:17
  Well, welcome to the live to shoot podcast.
• 0:19
  My name is Jeff Dowdell and I have been a licensed firearm dealer for the last 14 years in this podcast.
• 0:24
  We talk about all things related to the second amendment, as well as am I talk about sports story or something going on in everyday events.
• 0:30
  So welcome.
• 0:31
  Welcome.
• 0:32
  Welcome.
• 0:32
  Y'all it is Friday, June 25th.
• 0:35
  Almost all the way through June and next week will be the 4th of July.
• 0:38
  And that is just one of my favorite holidays.
• 0:41
  And I appreciate y'all listening to me.
• 0:43
  I took last week off.
• 0:44
  It was the first week in 70 plus weeks that I had not done a podcast or send out one of my newsletter newsletters.
• 0:52
  And I was, I was just mentally exhausted and.
• 0:56
  Did not just honestly did not feel like doing it.
• 0:58
  And so I I'm back at it again and, you know, I try and keep these podcasts under 15 minutes or so.
• 1:06
  I just want to make it something easy and quick that you can listen to get you some quick information.
• 1:10
  You know, I liked the podcasts that I listened to fall into two categories in terms of length.
• 1:14
  I've got my ones that are.
• 1:15
  Short enough that I can probably listen to an episode as just one walk around my block, the others fit into like, you know, I can listen to it online drive home, or drive into work or you know, a trip to the grocery store or something like that.
• 1:29
  And so I hopefully this'll my podcast kind of fit into your, your daily walk around the block and just get a quick little bit of information.
• 1:37
  So.
• 1:37
  No shortage of things to talk about.
• 1:39
  I had a whole list and, but leave it to our president to, to come out and open his mouth.
• 1:44
  And you know, that kind of derails what my originals topics were that was going to talk about.
• 1:48
  But a couple of days ago, he and attorney general came out and spoke about their plans for reducing the up swing in violent crime.
• 1:58
  And what they were going to do about it.
• 2:00
  And really they didn't really talk about violent crime.
• 2:03
  They really talked about, about guns.
• 2:05
  They didn't discuss anything like assaults or rapes or anything like robberies or anything like that.
• 2:11
  It was all around guns and attorney general Garland's spoken, kinda laid out the plan a little bit.
• 2:16
  And then our, our, our wonderful president stumbled up and he made his comments.
• 2:22
  And I just want to talk about some of the things he said.
• 2:23
  So.
• 2:25
  You know, right out of the gate, he comes, swing in and he says, you know, for folks at home, here's, here's what you need to know.
• 2:32
  I've been at this a long time, obviously.
• 2:35
  And there've been things know that that work, that reduce gun violence, not violent crime, but gun violence and violent crime.
• 2:41
  And think that we don't know about, but things we know about background checks for purchasing a firearm are important.
• 2:46
  Newsflash, we do backgrounds.
• 2:48
  Okay.
• 2:49
  A ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines.
• 2:52
  We tried that it didn't work.
• 2:54
  And again, we'll go back.
• 2:56
  Don't want to go into what is an assault weapon.
• 2:58
  And no one needs to have a weapon that can fire over 30, 40, 50, or even a hundred years, unless you think the deer are wearing Kevlar.
• 3:06
  And this is where it really is.
• 3:08
  What our president in this regime continue to focus on is that they believe the second amendment is about hunting.
• 3:16
  The second amendment has nothing to do with hunting.
• 3:19
  They were taking that for granted.
• 3:22
  The second amendment is about self protection and protecting yourself, your family from enemies, foreign and domestic.
• 3:33
  And that includes our own guns.
• 3:35
  We don't care about what the deer think.
• 3:38
  Okay.
• 3:38
  We're more concerned about you, president Biden.
• 3:41
  Then he but then we've come up with a new bad guy.
• 3:45
  And that is me, your dealer, your FFL dealers.
• 3:50
  He said in her conversation.
• 3:51
  First we discussed cracking down.
• 3:53
  As you heard from attorney general on rogue gun dealer.
• 3:57
  He says today, enough rogue gun dealers feel that they can get away with selling guns, to people who aren't legally allowed to own them.
• 4:05
  Gun crime is not related to rogue gun dealers.
• 4:10
  Majority of all gun dealers out there are wanting to do the right thing.
• 4:14
  They want to keep the law.
• 4:17
  And they're, they're the first line of defense actually to keeping weapons out of the bad guy's hands.
• 4:23
  He said, then that's a stat.
• 4:25
  Last time we had daddy on this issue of who's purchasing guns was more than 20 years ago, 5% of gun dealers.
• 4:30
  It turns out in the study.
• 4:32
  We did showed that 90% of illegal guns were found at the crime scenes.
• 4:37
  So we're so about 5% of the gun dealers.
• 4:40
  5% sold, 90% of the guns found at crime scenes first.
• 4:45
  That's there's a lot behind that one.
• 4:48
  Why would 5%?
• 4:49
  Well, I guarantee you, if you look at academy bass pro Cabela's Bud's Gunshop Palmetto state armory.
• 4:59
  Those types of dealers are very high volume dealers, and they're going to have a lot of guns that they've sold now and where they got this information was from trace request.
• 5:11
  So as I, as an FFL dealer, I will get a request from the ATF to do a trace and they will give me a date.
• 5:19
  That I around a date that I received a farm based on when they, the last person that they trace it to.
• 5:25
  So they shipped it to me.
• 5:26
  The model, the, the make and the caliber, and what they want from me is a copy of my 44 73, to see who I transferred that to.
• 5:35
  I very low volume.
• 5:37
  I get one or two of those a month.
• 5:39
  And the thing about those is it isn't, it, isn't a gun that I sold last year.
• 5:46
  Most of them.
• 5:47
  I have to keep my paperwork for 20 years and I have boxes in my attic and I, I keep about a year's worth down here.
• 5:55
  Before I move them up to my attic, I am going back to typically right now, the trace requests I get are around the 20 14, 20 15 timeframe.
• 6:07
  So.
• 6:08
  Seven eight years ago is what this trace requests.
• 6:12
  So from the original time of purchase, it is a six to seven years that they're going back.
• 6:17
  So these are, this is not something that's immediate.
• 6:20
  So that gun dealer that sold that gun, yes, he may have been the original seller, but it's taking six or seven years before.
• 6:29
  That thing makes its way through, through a string of different transfers.
• 6:35
  Potentially before it shows up at a crime or are at a location that is where it's unidentified about who it belongs to.
• 6:42
  So it is a very misleading stat.
• 6:44
  We know that the guns that they're getting, they're getting illegally, they are not purchasing them from dealers.
• 6:50
  They're purchasing off the street.
• 6:53
  I'm sorry.
• 6:54
  You know, when he starts coming after, after us it's gun dealers, that is a A big thing, because again, we are not the problem.
• 7:02
  The government is a problem.
• 7:03
  And you know, we need to continue to fight on this, this topic, you know, they're, they're, they're, they're not letting us.
• 7:12
  They are coming after our guns.
• 7:14
  He has said he, he will, and he's continuing to do it now.
• 7:17
  He's coming after the dealers, he's going to, he's already tried, said these coming after the manufacturers, he wants to make them more like are, you know, criminally liable.
• 7:26
  If somebody uses the gun.
• 7:28
  And that they can be sued if somebody uses the gun in a crime, not at eight, there's a product liability issue.
• 7:33
  If they just use it as a crime, you can Sue the manufacturer.
• 7:36
  Those are the types of things that he wants to do.
• 7:38
  They are they're coming at every angle to it.
• 7:41
  Come and get our guns and, and take them away from us.
• 7:44
  And why, so they can control it.
• 7:46
  Gun control are not about the guns.
• 7:48
  It's about the control.
• 7:49
  So we have to keep an eye on it.
• 7:51
  We've got the two other issues out there right now in regards to the definition of the frame and receiver and the, the definition of, of pistol braces.
• 8:01
  I still encourage you to go out there.
• 8:03
  Comments on those.
• 8:04
  I'll put links to those in this podcast right now, I believe the frames and receiver we've got over 70,000 comments there and the pistol race is over a hundred thousand comments and you in turn stand, typically these types of things only get maybe a few hundred comments.
• 8:20
  So we need to overwhelm them.
• 8:22
  We have to stand up.
• 8:23
  There's a lot of good things going on out there, Texas and Missouri, just pastor sanctuary second amendment sanctuary laws.
• 8:31
  And, you know, the D justice department is not happy about it.
• 8:35
  And they're, they're coming after him.
• 8:37
  And the attorney general from Missouri and they turned general from Texas Paxton.
• 8:42
  Scathing letters back to them.
• 8:44
  That great thing that we are, you are not going to step in here and overstep overreach, your authority.
• 8:52
  This is a state issue and it's not a federal issue.
• 8:55
  And that's the way we've got our approach, all of this.
• 8:57
  So we have to continue to fight, go out there and make comments, contact your rep.
• 9:01
  But you know, this.
• 9:04
  This regime that we're under is ridiculous.
• 9:07
  And we've got to do something about it.
• 9:09
  We have got to keep fighting.
• 9:11
  We have to get out there because they are coming for our guns and they are not going to let up until they get them.
• 9:17
  So take care, have a good week.
• 9:19
  And I will talk to you next week.
• 9:21
  Thank you.
