  So it wasn't like throwing a sports story or something going on in our current environment, such as the election or other items in politics.
• 0:54
  So today is Friday, February 5th.
• 0:57
  And they, you know, As things have progressed.
• 1:00
  This week has been another one of those interesting weeks.
• 1:04
  So the first thing I do want to say is that, you know, last week we talked about my son turning 18.
• 1:08
  And as of today, we have a new soldier in the fight.
• 1:13
  For our second amendment rights and that, and by that mean, he's not.
• 1:17
  Joining the military.
• 1:18
  Yet at least, but we got his voter registration card in the mail.
• 1:22
  So he is a registered voter in Texas.
• 1:25
  So we have one more vote.
• 1:27
  That will be landing on our side.
• 1:29
  So that's some good news.
• 1:31
  I don't know if I've told everybody, but I am from Kansas city.
• 1:34
  It's where I grew up in a small town North of Kansas city and went to high school there.
• 1:38
  At least that's where I went to high school and seventh and eighth grade.
• 1:41
  And so I am a chiefs fan.
• 1:43
  And so this week, And it is our super bowl and I am excited for that.
• 1:47
  So hopefully next week I can have some positive outcome from that that we can talk about.
• 1:53
  So what if I were to say to y'all that your ex spouse, either husband or ex-husband or ex wife.
• 2:00
  We'll have some input on whether or not you can be licensed to purchase a firearm, or what if I told you.
• 2:06
  That we're going to make available to your neighbors or to the crack dealer or your boss or the.
• 2:15
  A local school or just the government in general.
• 2:18
  All the firearms that you have, how would you feel about that?
• 2:21
  Well, We're going to talk about house bill.
• 2:23
  One 27.
• 2:25
  That's been submitted from a.
• 2:28
  Sheila Jackson Lee.
• 2:29
  From Houston representative Jackson representatively, and she spent this and now she has submitted.
• 2:35
  About a half a dozen.
• 2:36
  Firearm related bills.
• 2:38
  In this legislative session already.
• 2:40
  And there are another, probably 10 or 15 others that have been submitted.
• 2:45
  Most of them.
• 2:46
  Are not that great.
• 2:47
  There are a couple, there is we have the hearing protection act as, as again been submitted.
• 2:52
  So, you know, we'll talk about that a little bit later and another one and another episode, and we'll talk about some of the other bills that are out there right now, but this house bill one 27.
• 3:02
  It's probably right now out of the ones that have been submitted.
• 3:05
  The most concerning and the most agregious I guess it's a word.
• 3:10
  So it is.
• 3:12
  The bill is to provide that for the licensing of firearm and ammunition.
• 3:17
  Possession and the registration of farms and do prohibit a possession of certain Emmy's ammunition.
• 3:23
  And they're gonna, they're calling this, this, and I may be pronouncing this incorrectly, but the Sabika shake, firearm licensing and registration act.
• 3:32
  So The different provisions in this are that one.
• 3:36
  Is to create a, a firearm registration system.
• 3:39
  So the owner of any farm.
• 3:43
  Must submit.
• 3:44
  You know, the make model serial number of the farm, the identity of the owner.
• 3:48
  On the farm, that date, the firearm was acquired and where the farm is or will be stored.
• 3:53
  So we have to have to also have location.
• 3:55
  And then you have to put a notice in of any identity of any other person whom or And in a period of time during which the farm will be loaned to a person.
• 4:06
  And that And, and For all the farms that are out there.
• 4:10
  Today.
• 4:11
  We will all have three months to get all of this.
• 4:14
  You know, information submitted before we're in violation of, of this proposed law.
• 4:21
  Now the database that this is all going to be stored in is going to be established by the attorney, the attorney general, and they will maintain it.
• 4:29
  And the attorney to Jim or shall make the contents.
• 4:32
  Of the database accessible to all members of the public.
• 4:36
  All federal state and local law enforcement authorities, all branches of the United States, armed forces and all state and local governments as defined by the Bureau.
• 4:45
  So.
• 4:47
  Everybody is going to made out to the public so anybody can see what farms you own.
• 4:52
  Your neighbor.
• 4:54
  Your boss.
• 4:55
  Your employees.
• 4:57
  The local drug Lords or.
• 5:00
  Criminals in the area can also see.
• 5:01
  So they're just want to make everybody know who all has guns out there.
• 5:05
  And then again, the whole purpose of registration, we know.
• 5:09
  Eventually then they can follow that up with confiscation.
• 5:13
  So.
• 5:14
  Don't be fooled by anything that they say.
• 5:16
  So.
• 5:18
  And then for you to actually be in to be able to purchase or possess farms.
• 5:23
  You've got to be licensed.
• 5:25
  And so.
• 5:26
  The provisions to be licensed is you have to be 21 years of age.
• 5:30
  So now.
• 5:33
  You cannot purchase, but you can possess firearms under the age of 21 and you can purchase long guns after once you reach 18.
• 5:41
  They're now saying that that they're gonna raise that age to 21.
• 5:45
  And then after you apply for a license, you have to go undergo a background check.
• 5:50
  Through the, the next system.
• 5:53
  And now this is where things get really interesting.
• 5:56
  You have to undergo a psychological evaluation.
• 5:59
  In accordance with paragraph two.
• 6:01
  And we'll talk a little bit about paragraph two, and then after you successfully, after he did the psychological exam, you must successfully complete a training course certified by the attorney journal and use safety and storage of firearms.
• 6:14
  And then You must demonstrate that on the issuance of the license.
• 6:18
  The individual have to have an effect and insurance policy.
• 6:21
  So now not only do you have to get an, a get licensed, you have to purchase an insurance policy.
• 6:26
  And we'll talk about the cost of that policy here in a minute.
• 6:29
  There's some stuff about displaying an antique farms and the type of weapons involved, but let's talk about the psychological evaluation.
• 6:37
  The psychological evaluation is going to be conducted in this way.
• 6:40
  The evaluations conducted with in compliance with standards.
• 6:43
  And shall be established by the attorney general.
• 6:46
  Evaluations constructed by a licensed.
• 6:49
  Us psychologist and as deemed necessary by the psychology and the evaluation will include a psychological evaluation.
• 6:58
  Other members of your household in which you reside and has part of that evaluation.
• 7:04
  The licensed psychologists may interview any facts of the individual, any former spouse of the individual, and at least two other persons who are a member of the family.
• 7:13
  And.
• 7:14
  Or an associate of the individual to further determine the state of the mental, emotional, and relational stability of the individual in relation to firearms.
• 7:23
  So.
• 7:25
  I'm divorced.
• 7:27
  Shelly is my second wife.
• 7:28
  I don't think if they called it my first wife, that she would have anything negative to say to me, But.
• 7:37
  What purpose is that?
• 7:39
  And what business is it of hers?
• 7:41
  I can guarantee you most ex-spouses out there.
• 7:44
  Well, not have something positive to say about their former spouse and thus in that they know that they, it can permit them from purchasing and licensing their farms.
• 7:55
  They're going to be vindictive.
• 7:57
  And you're going to prevent you from doing that.
• 7:59
  And then what happens?
• 8:01
  If you fail to do any things well, The penalty for this.
• 8:08
  Yes.
• 8:09
  If you.
• 8:12
  Let me get to the penalty stage here.
• 8:14
  Just one sec.
• 8:15
  So the penalty.
• 8:17
  So the penalty of, of, of Yeah.
• 8:20
  Anybody that violates not getting the license.
• 8:23
  Is going to be a fine.
• 8:25
  Not to be not no less than$75,000 and not more than$150,000.
• 8:32
  And you can be imprisoned.
• 8:35
  For no less than 15 years, but up to 25 years or both.
• 8:39
  So you can get$150,000 fine.
• 8:41
  And 25 years in jail, if you violate the section where.
• 8:46
  You transfer this to somebody unknowingly.
• 8:48
  You can be that doesn't have a license.
• 8:50
  You can get a$50,000 fine up to 75,000.
• 8:54
  And now less than 10 years in jail, but no more than 15.
• 8:59
  And on and on and on.
• 9:01
  And then.
• 9:03
  And there are multiple other instances of.
• 9:06
  Punishment that you can get from different actions of it.
• 9:09
  It's also bridge.
• 9:10
  Habits.
• 9:11
  The possession of certain names, ammunition.
• 9:14
  As well.
• 9:15
  So this goes on and on and on.
• 9:17
  And we also talked about the large capacity ammunition feeding devices in terms of not being able to possess those as well.
• 9:24
  So what was typically your standard?
• 9:27
  Size magazines.
• 9:28
  You cannot possess position.
• 9:30
  And then we also mentioned the insurance policy and that insurance policy is going to cost you$800.
• 9:37
  So you must purchase an$800 insurance policy as well as get licensed.
• 9:41
  Get a psychological evaluation.
• 9:43
  And have your ex-spouse called us, determine whether or not they believe that you are stable enough to own a firearm.
• 9:48
