Transcript
- 0:15Welcome to the live to shoot podcast.
- 0:17My name is Jeff doddle and I've been a licensed firearm dealer for the last 14 years.
- 0:21And this podcast, we talk about all things related to the second amendment, as well as we talk about anything that might be going on in today's politics or my throw in a sports story or something going on in my personal life.
- 0:31So welcome.
- 0:32Welcome.
- 0:32Welcome.
- 0:33It is now November and it's getting chilly here in Texas.
- 0:37I've got a sweatshirt on today, which I love wearing my sweatshirts and.
- 0:42This weekend, it's the good fall, a time change, where we're going to fall back and get an extra hours sleep.
- 0:48So all good things going on.
- 0:49And we got our last baseball tournament of the, of the fall slash winter.
- 0:53It'll be good to kind of get that done and behind us and take a little break from baseball and then get involved in basketball.
- 1:00This week was was a good week for all things on the conservative side.
- 1:04I guess we could say the election on Tuesday went as, almost as well as possible.
- 1:10It was a red wave.
- 1:11I think the, the left is spinning a little bit in terms of, of what that, what happened.
- 1:16I don't think they expected it.
- 1:17I mean, it went all the way down to school boards and mayors.
- 1:21We almost got the governor of New Jersey that would have been great.
- 1:25I think if we'd focus it a little bit more effort, I think we, as a.
- 1:29Organization as a group did not focus as hard on the New Jersey as we did as in Virginia, because we just didn't think we had a shot and they get just a little bit more effort.
- 1:39We would have been have shown some success there.
- 1:42So, but again, it shows what action can do that.
- 1:46And now we, we can't rest.
- 1:48We have to keep pushing on because.
- 1:51They are not stopping the, as soon as lead Wednesday then, or yesterday, I guess Biden came out full force on his vaccine mandates.
- 1:59And so it's not like they it's like, they didn't hear a single thing that was said at the, at the, at the boaters box.
- 2:04So we gotta keep fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting.
- 2:07Now another good thing that's happened is the Supreme court on Wednesday started hearing oral arguments from on the New York state rifle and pistol association versus.
- 2:17Case, you know, I'll jump to the end things, look, look why it went well.
- 2:21So to refresh everybody's memory, if you're not familiar with this case, the, this is the New York state rifle and pistol association suing the state of New York attorney general Brewin.
- 2:32Before there may issue scheme for issuing concealed carry permit.
- 2:38So in New York, the way it's issued is you have to show cause proper cause eminent threat to you.
- 2:46To get a license.
- 2:48And the argument of this is that this is essentially violating people's second amendment rights because they, it makes it almost impossible to get.
- 2:57Kingsfield carry weapon because the requirements are so extensive unless, you know, somebody or a high-ranking official or a celebrity, they're just not issuing them.
- 3:06And that is the fact, but so this case has finally made to the Supreme court and the arguments went well.
- 3:12Our first concern I think, was judge Roberts and he actually thinks.
- 3:19To the leaning in to the direction of the plaintiff just based on his questioning, one of the, one of the things that, and I'll step back.
- 3:28One of the reasons that think that we've been concerned about Roberts is because he has made so many cited so much with the liberal side, with the.
- 3:35Lately, and that there were so many second amendment cases that have come to the court.
- 3:40That seemed to be good cases that they passed on.
- 3:43And that tended, that was people were speculating.
- 3:45That the reason we're passing is because we were unsure of where judge Roberts was going to stand and what his, where he would be.
- 3:53Now, once we added Amy Coney Barrett that gave us.
- 3:57Hopefully particular person that on the, on the right side of the court that could offset Roberts.
- 4:03Now I'll tell you lately, judge Barrett, she's been a little waffly in terms of she's ruled, not ruled necessarily in the way that I would have expected her to rule based on her background and previous ex.
- 4:16Rulings that she's made, but judge Robert was Def definitely in question.
- 4:21And he but in terms of his questioning and, and comments, he, he was definitely leaning towards the plaintiff.
- 4:28In in fact, he's quoted as saying the idea that you need a license to exercise the right.
- 4:33I think it's unusual in the context of the bill of rights.
- 4:36And he was saying that none of the other rights that.
- 4:40You have to get a license for it.
- 4:41You don't have to get a license for free speech.
- 4:43You don't have to get a license for two to not incriminate yourself.
- 4:46You don't have to go and get a license to prevent an unlawful search and seizures saying, Hey, you know, we're going to search his place because he hasn't gotten a license.
- 4:55It says that we can't.
- 4:56So that was what judge Roberts a particular meaning.
- 4:59Another thing that he commented on is that in terms of.
- 5:04An interval show proper cause before obtaining such license, typically we're because of locations, typically we're open to the general public, even in rural areas.
- 5:12And judge Robert says, how many muggings take place in a forest?
- 5:16Meaning, you know, they're saying that, you know, you can carry out in the woods when you're hurt and everything like that.
- 5:20But in densely populated areas, you can't.
- 5:23It's it's definitely positive.
- 5:25I think, you know, judge Barrett she, she came out swinging and she she went right to the point and said, when she was asking the solicitor general of New York, she asked general Underwood.
- 5:37Do you think Heller was rightly decided and.
- 5:41Some quotes Underwood, hemmed, and hawed.
- 5:43And she wouldn't say that.
- 5:44Right, but by Biden, would've had her head, if she did.
- 5:47And she ended up saying, I have no quarrel with Heller.
- 5:50And so that whenever the top governor's lawyers telling you that they don't have a quarrel with.
- 5:57It's a decision that basically said you can't infringe on somebody's constitutional, right.
- 6:02That tells you where their challenges is.
- 6:04So it looks like, you know, that we're solid with bear.
- 6:07We definitely know where we are with Thomas Kavanaugh.
- 6:09It looks like a thumbs up court.
- 6:11Gorgeous.
- 6:11It looks like a thumbs up.
- 6:13Barrett's a thumbs up.
- 6:14Roberts is a potential thumbs up and then Thomas in the Lido.
- 6:17And then we're definitely down with Briar and Sotomayer, and I've heard some people talking about.
- 6:22And how she might roll because she is a hunter as well.
- 6:26And she posts some questions that tended to people.
- 6:29See that, that, that she may.
- 6:32At least comment in on the on the decision, but, but, but we'll have to wait and see.
- 6:37And so this is definitely positive that if we can definitely get this as a 5, 4, 6, 3 vote, it would definitely be.
- 6:46Push things in the right way.
- 6:48And it'd be again, another nail in the coffin of the Biden agenda have taken away our guns because I believe then following this will be some guns on bans, on assault, weapons.
- 6:58Look out California, here we come.
- 7:00And high capacity magazines.
- 7:02So it's definitely, hopefully, you know, and I don't know when their ruling is going to come out.
- 7:06They're just here in our room.
- 7:07Isn't it.
- 7:07It's usually going to be several months before we actually get the decision.
- 7:11But it looks very positive for this.
- 7:13And so that is another positive check mark for this week.
- 7:15So it was good.
- 7:17The voter box good at the, in the court.
- 7:19So we got to keep fighting it.
- 7:21This is again the work of a lot of hard work on all the Patriots out there.
- 7:25And I just I think, you know, everything, every individual needs to contribute and get involved and continue to support the thing.
- 7:33So I appreciate you listening and have a great weekend and I will talk to you next time.
