Transcript
- 0:17well, welcome to the live she podcast.
- 0:19My name is Jeff and a licensed firearm dealer for the last 13 years.
- 0:23I'm passionate about our second amendment, right?
- 0:25And on this podcast, we talk about all things related to the second amendment, as well as, and I might do a sport story, movie topic or something going on in the current environment.
- 0:33like the election.
- 0:34Well, good morning, everybody.
- 0:37It's December 13th, Sunday morning, I'm recording this.
- 0:41And, I was about to go out for a run.
- 0:43four hours before I recorded this and it's pouring down rain and about 35 degrees out.
- 0:50So I am going to pause and, That I'd come up here and record a quick episode and then see if the rain.
- 0:57lessons a little bit.
- 0:59And then go on and try and get in my run.
- 1:01This week.
- 1:01I tell ya.
- 1:03it's been a little, a.
- 1:04Disheartening for me, as it pertains to the election.
- 1:08you know, had some good, thanks happening in regards to the Texas lawsuit and everybody joining in on it.
- 1:14But then, Preme courts similarly, refuse to hear it.
- 1:18so, you know, we have not had many wins.
- 1:21It only takes a few, but we have not had enough at this point.
- 1:26And it's just a little disheartening and I'm sure you all feel the same way.
- 1:30Because.
- 1:31A Biden presidency.
- 1:33Is going to be a hard pill to swallow.
- 1:36And.
- 1:38As I have been.
- 1:39sounding the alarms for the last several months.
- 1:42A Biden presidency will not be good for firearm owners.
- 1:46And in fact, It has already started.
- 1:49and a zoom meeting.
- 1:51and this comes from an article in the Washington examiner.
- 1:55And zoom meeting.
- 1:56Presidential campaign.
- 1:58said, and this was a zoom meeting.
- 2:01At Georgetown university Institute of politics and public service.
- 2:05She said that is that Biden is planning to quote.
- 2:09Make big, bold.
- 2:11changes through executive action, not just on policing and climate.
- 2:15Like we talked about previously, but in healthcare, education and education on gun violence, on a re on a range of other issues.
- 2:24So it's obviously that they are already getting, in position to start, putting in place some of their, gun agenda.
- 2:32And it has Kamela Harris has said previously that she wanted to use executive orders and it appears that the, they're going.
- 2:40Down that route.
- 2:42And the article it says, the mention of guns in this initial executive action is already speak, parking concerns in the industry.
- 2:50gun lobbyists says I'm going to be pretty busy.
- 2:53So, yes, they will be pretty busy.
- 2:55You know, the things they've talked about is moving the AR is and high capacity magazines or magazines taken hold over 10 rounds.
- 3:02and.
- 3:03Into the national firearms act and charging a$200 a tax on each of those.
- 3:09you guys said.
- 3:10I think, last week that's going to be$300 billion in taxes.
- 3:14I don't know if they can do that with executive orders.
- 3:16I don't know what all they can do, but at least they can try and then we have to fight on it.
- 3:21but the other thing it's done is it's, it has started to embolden the ATF.
- 3:26And, here's another story.
- 3:28That came out this week.
- 3:29they a rated polymer, 80, Who is one of the largest manufacturers of, of 80% lowers and pistol frames.
- 3:37they were, suspected of illegally manufacturing and distributing farms, failing to pay taxes, shipping guns, across state lines, and failing to conduct background investigations.
- 3:46According to an application for search warrant search warrant until Thursday after the raid took place.
- 3:52the pro focuses on polymer, eighties by bill Schute kit.
- 3:56Which includes the parts to build a quote unquote ghost handgun.
- 4:00and they, you know, that word ghost.
- 4:02Implies that it's somewhat somewhere illegal, but, It, it does not mean that it's illegal pot.
- 4:1080% of the lowers have been ruled to be illegal and not requiring an FFL to purchase it.
- 4:17The kit, which Palm ready fails online meets the definition of a farm ATF investigator determined according to the warrant application.
- 4:24That means it would have to be stamped with a serial number and couldn't be filled to consumers who haven't first passed the background check.
- 4:31So.
- 4:32It seems now that the ATF.
- 4:34it's changed their definition of a farm again.
- 4:38And that is what is common with the ATF.
- 4:40I tell people all the time late, he likes to live in the gray.
- 4:43they never really define anything.
- 4:46sufficiently so that they can continue to redefine what it means.
- 4:50the rules regarding me acting as an FFL are somewhat vague and a lot of areas.
- 4:56Leaving me open to.
- 4:58To interpret it or various, ATF inspectors and being subject to their interpretation.
- 5:03and again, so this is one thing that they've done.
- 5:06We've talked about her plate or that they've been going after pistol braces and, AR 15.
- 5:12A pistol.
- 5:13and determining that they don't meet the definition of a pistol because they're too big and too heavy.
- 5:19so this is consistent with the ATF.
- 5:22DTF had previously given a polymer 80 permission to sell unfinished receivers, but the by bill kits, which are advertised as having all the necessary components to build complete pistol.
- 5:33Weren't submitted to the agency for approval, according to the application for the search warrant.
- 5:37These kids can be assembled in fully functional farms in a matter of minutes, the warrant warrant applications.
- 5:43So, So the kids didn't have anything in it that, Was legally a firearm.
- 5:48So why would they submit it to the, ATF for approval?
- 5:53So if I.
- 5:54If I.
- 5:56Build a kit that has a, For crazy example, you know, A billet of aluminum.
- 6:02A CNC machine.
- 6:04Instructions, how to use the CNC machine and, all those things that then now I have.
- 6:09broken the law.
- 6:10but all those things in there are completely legal.
- 6:13So, again, you know, it's not clear how cell in the frame as part of a kit, along with other parts are necessary to complete build, would change the legal status of the kid as a whole.
- 6:22And as the article says, then again, legal niceties.
- 6:25I've never been the ATF strong suit.
- 6:27That's an understatement.
- 6:28They've shown themselves to be more than willing to change their definitions and rules on the fly manufacturers and buyers be damned.
- 6:35And that is the challenge.
- 6:37And without a administration and executive office, to keep them in check.
- 6:43I think we're going to see more and more of this along the way.
- 6:47they.
- 6:47Like I said, they've already gone down this route.
- 6:49So, and if we don't win the two Senate seats in Georgia, then they'll have the full power of both seats of Congress.
- 6:58And the executive office to do whatever they want, which they have already told us what they want.
- 7:03They want to come and take our guns.
- 7:05They want to begin, confiscations as soon as possible.
- 7:09And that will be, I think the beginning of some serious discussions, The great Alan West mentioned some ideas around succession.
- 7:18I am in the Texas and we are a independent group.
- 7:22Of people.
- 7:23And will you, I think there's always been a strong desire to succeed.
- 7:28We, we, we see ourselves as being part of the United States.
- 7:32As Andrew and agreement.
- 7:34That we made with the United States.
- 7:36And sometimes we feel the, the.
- 7:38They have broken that agreement with us and that we would like to go back on our own.
- 7:42we have been a Republic in the past and would like to be another possibly you want to be public again.
- 7:48And so you may see more serious talks.
- 7:50So like those things.
- 7:51as we, as we move forward down the environment, ministration, You know, Ultimately.
- 7:58God is in control.
- 7:59I continue to look to him for, for the, at that comfort and that guidance.
- 8:04So I encourage everyone to continue to pray.
- 8:07He is in control.
- 8:10But, keep your eyes open.
- 8:12And, We need to watch what's going on.
- 8:14We need to continue to fight.
- 8:16we cannot lay down and let them win.
- 8:18that is been the Republican party in the past.
- 8:23And that is what is, defeating us right now.
- 8:26you know, this election was stolen, but the, city.
- 8:31chamber of commerce Republicans.
- 8:32the rhinos in there are just really one that, Hey, we, let's not fight.
- 8:37Let's lay down.
- 8:38Let's lose.
- 8:39Let's keep things happy and, we'll move along.
- 8:42And.
- 8:43That is where we have been.
- 8:44in the past, Trump.
- 8:46upset that Apple cart.
- 8:48A lot of people made a lot of people uncomfortable and they are.
- 8:52Unfortunately on the Republican side, a lot of them will be happy to see him go so they can go back to their, their easy little life that they had before.
- 9:00But, For us in the, in the populace.
- 9:02That doesn't work.
- 9:04And we're going to have to continue to fight.
