 Welcome to the Knuckleheads of Liberty. So New York has recently signed gun legislation, Governor Hochel there, where they want to make it illegal for you to wear body armor. Now this is insane. This is not a gun, but it's covered in these gun legislation that they recently passed. And I mean, this is a government that literally is fine forcing you to put a dirty rag over your face just to go out of your house and go into a restaurant. But then if you want to wear something to defend yourself from the gun violence that occasionally happens in some of these places, then suddenly it's like, no, no, you can't wear that. What on earth are they thinking there? How is this not a complete violation of our constitutional rights? You guys have any thoughts on this? Well, what next, you know, what next? So they're going to ban cars, you know. That's the next thing because a criminal will potentially use it to go commit a crime. So the next thing will be to ban cars. None of us will be able, all the law abiding citizens and all the good drivers on the road. We will not be able to drive anymore. We're going to have Uber and Lyft to take us where we want to go because a criminal might use a car. Just might use a car to get to go someplace to commit a crime. Don't you see the insanity of these people? Imagine that. It's just like Justin Trudeau. You don't have a right to self-defense. Here in the United States, here we are creeping along. We can't even put on a piece of clothing. It's not an offensive weapon. But we can't even put that on to protect ourselves against some criminal out there. That's because a criminal might do the same thing when he's in Congress and law enforcement officer. God help us with these people. Well, if we all go back and start beating on each other with clubs because we don't have the right to use guns, then maybe these, maybe similar things to protect ourselves. Like maybe it will be against the law to have a catcher's mask on your face to protect you from the club that now has to be used to beat you to death with or whatever. I don't know. It's called crazy. So that's why I'm saying crazy stuff because this is just that crazy. It's just ridiculous. And it's not going to stop anybody from, oh gosh, I can't, I can't wear body armor legally. So I'm not going to go illegally into a school with a with a rifle and shoot everybody up. Oh, I'm going to that's going to stop me because I'm not either, you know, whatever. Seriously, that's that's some flawed thinking there. Well, you have gone control debate. It's really based on slow thinking, which criminal is going to stop acquiring an illegal gun just because the government come along and say, oh, we're not going to have, you know, nobody's going to have guns anymore. You think a criminal is going to stop because of that. You think he's going to stop from going to harm somebody if he or she decides to do this. Who's going to stop because of some stupid gun control law. Well, let's let's say that their utopia gun gun gunless utopia is achieved somehow, which you can't but just just for the sake of argument. Then we would be ruled by the young, the strong and the many and they would have their way with us with sticks and clubs and knives and whatever else they could rocks and whatever they they could use to attack with so. So yeah, a gun free society is a very, very dangerous society and history just proves that because because the murder rates used to be a lot higher back when they were using pitchforks and and the clubs to kill you with and you had no way of defending yourself because that required Colonel Colt to come along. So Michael, what do you think I think is a really good example of what I was saying in the last show when this is why we have to get the right people elected. This was created by elected people. And I would be willing to bet that if and when it goes to court that it'll ultimately be found constitutional and legal. That doesn't mean I agree with it. I just, you know, don't get me wrong. It's just that I am I would put money that the courts will be okay with it. Again, I don't agree with it, but I'll make sure the courts will. So that's why we need to concentrate people need to do what what the Constitution is designed to do. And that's make sure that your elected officials are doing what you know what you want them to do get get them elected, or get them on elected show up and help them campaign or help campaign for the person who's running against them. I think it's crucial because, of course, none of this makes any sense at all. None of it's logical. It isn't really about public safety. And like you said, it's not an offensive thing. It's a defensive thing. So we got to get the right people elected that that's it's, I don't it's not the only way to write the ship, but it's an extremely important way. It's also a very hard way to do it, which is why it's often a neglected way. Well, you know, certainly helps to get the right people elected. But one of the things to we like to emphasize libertarians is we've just got to get getting people's minds that everything that's your preference doesn't need to be done through government. I mean, you know, so many people, they just get this knee jerk reaction. I want something or I have some preference for society. So I'm going to force it on everybody else through government. And if we could just, you know, get the word out there to try and get people to understand you usually when government gets a power to do something. It does a terrible job with it. I mean, if COVID didn't convince people of that, I don't know what. You know, that's such a good point. Even look at this. You think that happened in the in the valley in the valley, Texas. Okay, it is tragic. There's no doubt about that. Nobody will argue about the tragedy of that situation. But look at what happened as a result. Oh, they got to do something. We got to do something about gun control. We got to do something about gun violence, which is a stupid term to start with. We got to do something. We got to do something. So the government is going to do something. You know, every week in Chicago, I am sure there are more people killed and murdered in Chicago. I am sure about that with guns. You know what? That's an excellent segue, Leon. Let me get you right back to that. But if we get the visual on this, because this is a perfect story to segue on. And in Chicago, they have some of the strictest gun laws in the nation. And I was seeing an article that said they rank about eighth now because some of them got struck down recently or something like that. But, but regardless, they're certainly among the more police on laws of any place else. Well, they were literally filming an episode of a new show where they were interviewing talking with a reporter about gun violence. And what happened while this reporter was standing there, a person literally walked by and pointed a gun at the cameraman. During the interview. So, you know, it's like, you know, I'm not sure what they think they're accomplishing with all of these gun laws, but they just keep passing them and they don't seem to be getting the desired results. You guys want to jump in on that? But I just want to finish one thought here, Jason. Okay. Yeah. This, this word, gun violence is, is, is such a source nonsensical is unbelievable. There's no such thing as gun violence. Okay. No, but no gun does just jump out of a holster and start shooting somebody. Okay. Somebody have to pick up that gun and fire it. So this word, oh, we have to do something about gun violence. It is nonsense. It is garbage. We have to do something about the people. We have to do something about the people who are using guns to commit violent acts against other people. That's what we have to do something about. Well, I think we need to do something about, about car drunk and driving. Cars that drive drunk. Yeah, we're going to do, we do something about the cars, not about the drunk drivers about it about the cars. Drunk driving cars. Yeah. Too much ethanol in the fuel is that what's going on? The car is highly intoxicated. It might pass out shortly. Who knows, you know, and suddenly harm somebody. Chicago has made a number of public policy mistakes in the last 40 years. I mean, they, it's, they're the, the example of what, of how not to run a government. They've really, really screwed up entire communities of people in Chicago and it's been sad and tragic. One of the worst ways is by disarming people in the hopes that criminals will, you know, decide to obey that one, that one law. That's the, that's the law they're going to obey is, is the one to not have firearms. And, you know, we, a major Supreme Court case was one, as far as Second Amendment in Chicago, the McDonald versus Chicago case, which is, which is great. But they're, it's still just a mess of a city. And until they, until they, there's so much to fix. But at least in the meantime, they should give people the ability and respect their right to be able to defend themselves. If they can't run their city properly, they should at least allow people to defend their life. Exactly. And you know, Michael, I know your organization is nonpartisan, but in all of these major cities where you've seen these major crime surges in all of them, Democrats are running them and they have been running them for a long, long time. All of these cities. Agreed. And in all those cities where Democrats are screwing up, there's a Republican, you know, doing nothing about it. I mean, fair enough, fair enough. That's why we're nonpartisan. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness always.
