  I'm Jeff Dowdle, and I've been a licensed firearm dealer for the last 19 years.
• 0:19
  In this podcast, we talk about all things related to the Second Amendment, s- sports story, anything else that's going on in the world, or anything I might find interesting, so welcome, welcome, welcome.
• 0:28
  So if you've listened to my podcast for any time period at all, you've always heard me to talk about how that we have to fight, fight, fight for the Second Amendment, and now is the time that we have to take that fight and get serious with it, because this is time for elections.
• 0:44
  And if you have not voted, you need to vote.
• 0:47
  And if you have people that you know that have not voted, you have to get them to vote.
• 0:51
  We have to get everybody to the polls to vote, and it doesn't matter where you live.
• 0:56
  I've looked at my-- the-- where I-- listeners come from, and they come from all across the country.
• 1:01
  Texas, where I'm at is where a good percentage of my listeners come from, and I'm gonna be speaking to my Texans here just briefly, but it doesn't matter where you're at.
• 1:09
  In California, you got a governor race going that, that we could actually win, and you could help maybe potentially turn around some of those just draconian gun rights laws, gun control laws that you have going on there.
• 1:23
  Iowa Minnesota, Ohio, I've got listeners in all those places.
• 1:28
  Florida, get Byron Donalds in as the governor.
• 1:32
  All these races are tight.
• 1:34
  Some we, we may lose, some we may win, but we've gotta try and win them all.
• 1:39
  And because the Second Amendment is critical, and all these races could have an impact on the Second Amendment, whether it's local, a state, or in particularly federal.
• 1:52
  And I'll give you an example.
• 1:53
  This is the current example.
• 1:55
  Are you all enjoying the freedom that you've gotten here lately to where you can go buy it, order a suppressor, and pick it up like at any other firearm?
• 2:04
  You don't have to get fingerprinted.
• 2:05
  You don't have to get passport photos.
• 2:07
  You don't have to sub-submit a registration.
• 2:09
  You don't have to pay a$200 tax stamp that you used to have to pay, and you don't have to wait a year and a half to get it approved.
• 2:15
  You w- buy it, you walk into your dealer, and you take it home that day.
• 2:20
  That is because of the Congress that we currently have in place right now.
• 2:25
  And if we lose the House, or we lose the Senate, or both That freedom can go right away.
• 2:31
  All that has to happen is they just have to reinstitute the, the, the tax, the$200 tax, and this time they're not gonna do$200.
• 2:39
  No, no, no, no, no.
• 2:41
  You know they're not gonna do$200.
• 2:42
  They may do 2,000.
• 2:44
  They may say 20,000.
• 2:45
  Who knows?
• 2:46
  They will do whatever they can to s- to stamp down on any ability to buy a short barrel rifle, short barrel shotgun, or a silencer.
• 2:54
  So if you're enjoying it, you better get out and vote because if we lose the House, you're probably losing that freedom because that's the only reason we have that freedom right now is because Congress took away the st- the tax.
• 3:06
  And as soon as they put the tax back in, all the registration requirements get put back in place and, and you also have to pay the tax.
• 3:13
  So that is critical to...
• 3:16
  And that is just one example.
• 3:18
  We may not get-- if we lose the Senate, they, they, they confirm the judges, and we may quit getting these judges that have been issuing these pro Second Amendment rulings.
• 3:27
  The ruling that allowed the, forced the ATF to change the way they're enforcing the no tax stamp, that came from a federal judge.
• 3:36
  He s- he, the silencer shop, Gun Owners of America took a lawsuit and he said,"Yep, if there's no tax, there's no registration needs." And so that injunction was put in place and that's why we have this freedom because of a federal judge, right?
• 3:51
  If we can't get our judges in, we will lose a lot of those cases and we will be right back where we've started from with heavy regulation the ATF having to enforce laws and coming after l- law-abiding citizens.
• 4:05
  The Second Amendment is always gonna be under attack.
• 4:09
  Do not get comfortable and sit on your hands.
• 4:11
  And gun owners, unfortunately, don't vote.
• 4:14
  Christians and gun owners do not vote for whatever reason.
• 4:18
  I don't know why.
• 4:19
  But if you look at the statistics, they don't vote.
• 4:22
  And so gun owners, Christians, get out and vote.
• 4:26
  And my Texans, we have a crazy man running for the s- the, our Senate seat, and you know who he is, James Talarico.
• 4:34
  James Tala-freako, that's what we call him.
• 4:36
  We cannot let him get in, and this race is tight.
• 4:39
  We, we could lose this race, and we could have a Democrat, leftist, progressive senator in the s- in, in representing the state of Texas who wants to take away our gun rights, who wants to trans our kids.
• 4:52
  He doesn't eat meat, and he thinks God is non-binary and there are six genders.
• 4:57
  He is freaking crazy, and we all know it, and we cannot allow him in.
• 5:02
  And so I don't care where you are, but if you're listening to this, you have to vote.
• 5:09
  If you have not voted, there's about a week left in early voting, and then th- the actual voting day is gonna happen.
• 5:17
  We have to just storm the polls.
• 5:19
  There are good news on a lot of early returns, but you have no idea what could happen.
• 5:27
  So I am pleading to all of you.
• 5:28
  I'm gonna keep sending this message out.
• 5:31
  If you subscribe to my newsletter, you got a reminder in my newsletter just this week.
• 5:35
  I will send out another one.
• 5:36
  I will, I will spam you.
• 5:38
  I am going to spam you, okay?
• 5:40
  Because this is how important it is.
• 5:42
  So get out to vote.
• 5:44
  Get your friends out to vote.
• 5:45
  If you don't know where to vote, there's plenty of resources out there to go.
• 5:49
  You can email me, and I can help you figure out where you need to vote.
• 5:51
  Whatever it is, take friends, go around your neighborhood, bring people up.
• 5:56
  Anybody your adult children, make sure they all vote.
• 6:00
  We're all busy, but w- this isn't...
• 6:02
  This is critical, and it goes beyond our gun rights.
• 6:05
  But that is what this podcast is focused on, and that's what I'm gonna focus on because if we lose the Second Amendment, then everything else starts to fall, and we know that.
• 6:15
  So go vote.
• 6:18
  Vote, vote, vote.
• 6:19
  We've got to fight, fight, fight.
