- 0:00Speaker 1: Chuck Douglas is the Power Hour six to ten WTV
- 0:02Speaker 1: and racism at the county commissioner level. I don't know
- 0:05Speaker 1: it's question. I'm gonna ask it. You might like and
- 0:07Speaker 1: like it, but sorry, that's what I do. Also from
- 0:10Speaker 1: the tentv dot com website, I wanted to let you
- 0:12Speaker 1: know about a couple of bills in the Ohio legislature
- 0:15Speaker 1: right now at the Ohio House regarding your your second
- 0:20Speaker 1: Amendment rights. And I say that it doesn't matter if
- 0:22Speaker 1: you own a gun or not. It is your constitution,
- 0:24Speaker 1: that's your country, those are your rights. A couple of
- 0:26Speaker 1: bills here, one of which sounds kind of harmless, the
- 0:29Speaker 1: other not so much. Ohio House Democrats, according to the
- 0:33Speaker 1: story here, are pushing a package of bills, they say,
- 0:36Speaker 1: and they only talk about two.
- 0:37Speaker 2: I hope there's not more that.
- 0:39Speaker 1: They say, well, protect Ohio wan's from gun violence. During
- 0:43Speaker 1: a Tuesday news conference at the state House, several representatives
- 0:46Speaker 1: said the bills are about responsibility, accountability, and safety for all.
- 0:51Speaker 1: Here's the quote, Let's be clear, we do not seek
- 0:53Speaker 1: to outlaw guns. Rather, we want to offer common sense regulations.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Sorry with that phrase always gets.
- 1:02Speaker 1: My attention, always common sense.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Isn't it always so common?
- 1:05Speaker 1: Why the hell aren't they already in the books, really
- 1:07Speaker 1: common sense regulations and publicize safe responsible ownership of guns,
- 1:12Speaker 1: as a quote from state Representative Meredith are Lawson Row
- 1:17Speaker 1: out of Renoldsburg, and yes, Democrat Democrats say legislation is
- 1:21Speaker 1: needed because more than seventeen and listen closely now, because
- 1:25Speaker 1: more than seventeen hundred Ohioans on average are killed by
- 1:29Speaker 1: guns every year. One thousand of those out of seventeen hundred,
- 1:35Speaker 1: now one thousand out of the one thousand and seven
- 1:39Speaker 1: hundred are by suicide. Another thirty five hundred are wounded.
- 1:47Speaker 1: I don't know how many of those wounds are attempted suicides.
- 1:50Speaker 1: They didn't mention that in the story. Wouldn't you hate
- 1:53Speaker 1: to be like, just not to be that rude, but
- 1:56Speaker 1: if you try to kill yourself with a gun, with
- 1:58Speaker 1: a gun of all things, fail fail at failing, and
- 2:02Speaker 1: the damage you could do to yourself in that failed attempt,
- 2:04Speaker 1: the rest of your life would be oh yeah, oh,
- 2:08Speaker 1: especially if you that's not just a statistic, that's a
- 2:11Speaker 1: public health crisis. Again, Bs, that's not health. That's got
- 2:15Speaker 1: nothing to do with public health. Stop selling garbage. That's
- 2:19Speaker 1: the quote from Representative Cecil Thomas, a Democrat out of Cincinnati.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Two of the bills in the package will give gun
- 2:25Speaker 1: owners a tax break when buying firearm safety devices. You
- 2:31Speaker 1: know what, I got no problem with that. I got
- 2:33Speaker 1: no we get there's why not. It's a constitutional right
- 2:37Speaker 1: to own a firearm up, but why.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Not expand it?
- 2:41Speaker 1: Can I get a tax break on the weapon?
- 2:43Speaker 2: On the ammunition too.
- 2:45Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if you're gonna give me a tax
- 2:48Speaker 1: break on the ancillary products, can I get a tax
- 2:51Speaker 1: break on the product that's actually constitutionally guaranteed to be
- 2:54Speaker 1: my right?
- 2:56Speaker 2: Just say it.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Under House Bill one twenty, customers would not have to
- 3:00Speaker 1: pay sales tax on gunlocks or guns safes. House Built
- 3:04Speaker 1: three twenty five, I'm sorry. Two thirty five will give
- 3:07Speaker 1: a tax credit for the full cost of handgun training
- 3:11Speaker 1: and gunlocks and safes. So I'm good with either one
- 3:15Speaker 1: of those. Two thirty five is fine with me, because
- 3:18Speaker 1: I tell you what, tax free on the training cost.
- 3:21Speaker 2: That's not a bad thing at all. Okay.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Now, State Representative Darnelle Brewer out of Cleveland says these
- 3:28Speaker 1: policies do not take away rights. They protect lives. Again,
- 3:32Speaker 1: here's where we differ. Okay, I defy you, sir, and
- 3:38Speaker 1: previously mentioned madam or or Barco Lounger, however you identify,
- 3:45Speaker 1: I defy you.
- 3:47Speaker 2: To back that up. You can't. You know. Here, here's
- 3:55Speaker 2: the deal.
- 3:56Speaker 1: The average gang bummer banger is not going up to
- 3:59Speaker 1: the retail gun store and buying a gun. That's not
- 4:03Speaker 1: how they get their weapons. They steal them from people
- 4:09Speaker 1: that's out. That's not like they're going. They're not affect
- 4:12Speaker 1: the laws only affect the law abiding people. This representative continued,
- 4:23Speaker 1: Hold on LP, let me get to LPD because Eric
- 4:26Speaker 1: was quoted in the story and I got to give
- 4:27Speaker 1: him a little little love on this too. LPD owner
- 4:31Speaker 1: Eric Delbert supports the safety measures. He said, you can
- 4:34Speaker 1: buy a gun for sale or a gun safe for
- 4:36Speaker 1: your home or car for about forty bucks. I don't
- 4:38Speaker 1: I wouldn't buy one of those for forty bucks. I'd
- 4:41Speaker 1: spend a little more. If you're going to do it,
- 4:42Speaker 1: do it right. I mean, he's making a point, but
- 4:46Speaker 1: you get something that's actually a little bit, a little
- 4:50Speaker 1: bit more tangible than a forty dollars safe. He says,
- 4:52Speaker 1: if it encourages people to purchase a safe in order
- 4:55Speaker 1: to secure the firearm.
- 4:56Speaker 2: That's a good thing. We're all behind that.
- 4:59Speaker 1: I agree with Eric on He also said it would
- 5:02Speaker 1: cut down on gun theft. I don't know, because I've
- 5:04Speaker 1: seen some people who have the cable safe in the
- 5:07Speaker 1: car and they're just cutting the cables now to steal
- 5:10Speaker 1: the safe. They worry about opening the safe when they
- 5:11Speaker 1: get away from the scene of the current Democrats also
- 5:15Speaker 1: introduced House Bill forty five to require here we here's
- 5:18Speaker 1: the problem, to require a ten day waiting period on
- 5:23Speaker 1: top of the required background check for those buying a gun.
- 5:26Speaker 1: It already takes me four hours going going through the
- 5:31Speaker 1: system and running the running the check in order to
- 5:36Speaker 1: buy firearm, legally, paying taxes on it, getting a receipt,
- 5:41Speaker 1: it already takes several hours. Now you want to tend
- 5:44Speaker 1: day wait?
- 5:45Speaker 2: Why? Why?
- 5:47Speaker 1: First of all, I hate to get redneck about it.
- 5:49Speaker 1: But shall not be infringed? How many ways do we
- 5:52Speaker 1: need to interpret that the right of Americans to keep
- 5:57Speaker 1: and bear arms shall not be in fringe in a
- 6:00Speaker 1: ten day waiting period. When I'm there with my money
- 6:03Speaker 1: in my hand, my ID present in the forum, filled
- 6:05Speaker 1: out waiting another ten days to appease you is infringing.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Here we go again with a quote, Waiting periods save lives.
- 6:18Speaker 1: That is a quote from a representative Thomas. The quote continues,
- 6:22Speaker 1: they reduce impulsive suicides, they reduce homicides. No, they don't. Again,
- 6:30Speaker 1: prove it, Prove your facts. This is the problem with
- 6:36Speaker 1: that side of the aisle, especially when you're talking about.
- 6:38Speaker 2: The evils of guns.
- 6:41Speaker 1: You make crap up, remember Biden, oh man ar fifteen
- 6:46Speaker 1: bull hole in you this?
- 6:47Speaker 2: Oh you wing nut.
- 6:50Speaker 1: They make crap up and then expect you to just
- 6:53Speaker 1: trot along. And unfortunately there are some people out there
- 6:55Speaker 1: that do.
- 6:59Speaker 2: I defy you. Every representative in this story. Prove it.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Prove your facts. Waiting periods save lives. Prove it.
- 7:09Speaker 1: They reduce impulsive suicides. Prove it, because seriously, if somebody's
- 7:13Speaker 1: tired of living, they're gonna find a way to stop living,
- 7:19Speaker 1: whether that's taking an entire bottle of aspirin and a
- 7:23Speaker 1: mountain dew, driving their car off a bridge, cutting their
- 7:28Speaker 1: wrists until they bleed out. People who want to kill themselves,
- 7:31Speaker 1: who are dedicated to killing themselves, they're going to do.
- 7:34Speaker 1: We stop blaming me. And making me pay the price
- 7:41Speaker 1: for that. I'm sorry to sound harsh, but if you're
- 7:47Speaker 1: gonna come to the table with lies, I'm gonna come
- 7:49Speaker 1: back with harsh You cannot substantiate your claims that waiting
- 7:58Speaker 1: periods save lives. You cannot substantiate your claim that this
- 8:05Speaker 1: is going to reduce homicides. If somebody wants you dead,
- 8:13Speaker 1: they don't need to wait for a gun shop to
- 8:15Speaker 1: sell them a gun. They can go behind the abandoned
- 8:17Speaker 1: chicken joint and meet some guy at midnight who will
- 8:20Speaker 1: sell them one out of a paper bag. And if
- 8:22Speaker 1: they don't want to go out at midnight, they can
- 8:24Speaker 1: take their kids aluminum tee ball bat and beat the
- 8:27Speaker 1: crap out of somebody. Stop coming up with imaginary justifications
- 8:34Speaker 1: for trying to hinder my life. I am a good guy,
- 8:38Speaker 1: living by the law, playing by the rules, being a
- 8:41Speaker 1: decent human being, cutting my grass, planting my flowers, raising
- 8:47Speaker 1: the kids, kissing the wife, loving the dog. I don't
- 8:50Speaker 1: need any more restrictions on my constitutional rights. Stop selling
- 8:55Speaker 1: the bill of goods or sorry, am I that people
- 9:02Speaker 1: will believe you than I am that you are trying
- 9:04Speaker 1: to do it?
- 9:05Speaker 2: Because I expect you to try to do it. It's
- 9:06Speaker 2: what you do.
