Patrick is also very active in supporting gun rights on the Local, State, and National levels. 1) What is happening with the ammo supply in the US? And how can people train effectively when ammo is so scarce and expensive? 2) Finding the right Instructor / Trainer can be a process of determining not only skill level but also your own “fit” based on personalities. Do you have any thoughts on that? 3) Gun counter tales and myths can be legendary, and this is an area you specifically wanted to bring to our audience. Why is that? 4) Trying to determine which tool is best for the intended use is sometimes difficult, and that also includes the type of ammo. (Aluminum vs Steel vs Brass / Reman vs factory). 5) How bad is it when well-meaning people begin a sentence with: “What you need to buy is…”? 6) You are going

GOA is a national grassroots organization representing more than two million Americans dedicated to promoting their Second Amendment freedom to keep and bear arms. Pratt is the author of a civil government textbook, “The Constitutional Recipe for Freedom”, written to teach civil government to high school students. 1) Our 2A Rights are clearly under assault, and it certainly feels as though we are in an all-hands-on-deck DEFCON situation. Is that an overstatement or a fair assessment? 2) With over 8.5 million brand new gun owners across the nation since this time last year, why would now be the time for Politicians to take such a hard stance against our rights to keep and bear arms? It seems tone-deaf at best. 3) We cannot protect an inheritance we don’t know anything about. Is this why you wrote “The Constitutional Recipe for Freedom”. 4) What is GOA doing that is different from other 2A Rights Organizati

And you wear a ton of different hats in that endeavor. What was the original driving force that caused you to be so involved? 2) With Federal Anti-Rights Bills like HR127 and HR30 being written can we possibly OVER-state how serious the assault on our 2A Rights is? 3) There are far too many people who think “someone else will do it”. And at a time when we are at all-hands-on-dec

Our guest today is Michael Maharrey. Michael serves as the national communications director for the Tenth Amendment Center, which is the nation’s leading source for constitutional education and state nullification of unconstitutional acts activism. While the establishment left and right continue to expand federal power, Michael’s organization’s goal is straightforward: Follow the Constitution: Every issue, every time. No exceptions, no excuses. 1) We have been hearing a lot about this word, nullification, but it seems that too many people don’t understand it’s purpose or meaning. - The action by a state not to enforce a federal law as improperly encroaching on the scope of state power. - specifically, the importance of the anti-commandeering doctrine (our primary nullification strategy) and the big movement we’re seeing to end enforcement of federal gun control. 2) A quick glance at our pocket Constitution tells us that the 10th Amendment is the section of the Bill of Rights that basically says that any

Deb shot a handgun for the first time at age 45 and was instantly “hooked” on shooting a variety of handgun competitions.

From the industry, from the ranges, etc. 3) What kinds of changes and improvements in the Industry have you seen in the 17 years you’ve been involved in shooting sports? 4) When you started the WOMA, the Women’s Outdoor Media association, was there something specific that sparked it? 5) What is waiting in the future for Babes with Bullets going forward and the Women’s Outdoor Media Association going forward?

He is a 3-time combat veteran with 19 years of combined military service, currently serving in the TN National Guard. Andrew's many convoys, missions, and events while deployed to Iraq have resulted in him having PTSD.

Our guests today are US! Our co-hosts, Danny and Cheryl Todd, discuss whether or not our Senators and other "Leaders" can be trusted to implement new and even more restrictive laws over firearms and those who own them. We recently witnessed the trial of an American Citizen where seated Senators actively manufactured and doctored evidence to be used against that Citizen. These are some of the same people who want to bring forth Red Flag Gun Laws, Universal Background Checks, prohibitive and discriminatory taxes and fees, and other means to separate American Citizens from their Second Amendment Rights to keep and bear arms. Dan and Cheryl discuss both HR127 and HR30. Under HR127 the "Leaders" who have written and sponsored would: Establish a publicly-searchable gun registry containing your most private information Require you to petition an anti-gun Attorney General for a "license" to possess firearms & ammunition Further force you to obtain "firearms insurance" from the federal government at a cost of $80

Our guest today is John Age. John is a researcher and the host of The Anomic Age, a weekly show where he interviews guests covering a range of topics from religion and government corruption, to vaccines and media manipulation.  With a ravenous appetite for the truth, John focused heavily on the events of the 1990’s such as Ruby Ridge, Waco, Oklahoma City Bombing, Columbine, etc. that shaped and paved the way for many to willingly give up their Rights.  His dogged pursuit of the truth led him to create The Anomic Age in 2018, where he continues to share the truth with others each week. 1) Tell us about the name you chose for your show. What does Anomic mean? - from anomy or anomie—a term from Émile Durkheim.

As a constitutional conservative, Sheriff Lamb is a strong supporter of our 2nd Amendment rights and the enforcement of all of our laws, and he is determined to protect the rights and freedoms of the people whom he serves. 1) Too many of us do not understand the role of a Sheriff and the important distinction that a Sheriff is not hired or appointed, but is elected by the people he or she serves. Can you talk to us about that? 2) We’ve been hearing a lot about something called The Citizens Posse Program. What is that and why has it been so popular with your constituents? - The Citizens Posse Program offers a training course designed to show residents the reality of Police Work. In this four hour course, participants will learn the basics of constitutional law, search and seizure, basic firearm safety, home safety, and the use of force. There will also be a

The AzCDL is the only Arizona civil liberties organization to get pro-rights bills introduced in every Legislative session. 1) The 2020 Election brought our State of AZ some new changes in the people serving in our Capitol. How does that change in personnel impact the challenges to our 2A Rights? 2) Article II, Section 2 of the Arizona Constitution states that “All political power is inherent in the people, and governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and are established to protect and maintain individual rights.” There are two key issues in that one sentence. Are either of them still true? 3) Thankfully some of the Bills and Initiatives that get written do not get passed. How can AZ Citizens with jobs, kids,

Austin grew up hunting and fishing, and firearms have been a part of his life since he was born. He believes the second amendment is still the most consequential right we have to fight for every day. 1) Watching the “news”, one might think that young people – Millennials and Gen Z-ers – have lost connection with the Constitution and the 2A. When you interact with these young and future voters, what is your impression of them? 2) Being politically active or having a cause seems much more popular than when past generations. What was the main influence in your life to become not only active in politics, but in Conservative politics?  3) You were very active in Students for Trump, working to re-elect Donald Trump and Republicans down ballot across the country.

Let’s talk about what actually goes on at the

Our co-hosts, Danny and Cheryl Todd, share a little bit about themselves on today's show. They talk about where their interest in 2A Advocacy came from. As self-employed small business owners they wear many hats individually and as a couple, and while they work very closely together in the various areas of their multiple businesses, their backgrounds and training are as individual as they are. Cheryl went the traditional route of gaining a college education with degrees in Psychology and Counseling. Danny has always learned by rolling up his sleeves and "doing". Who inspired them? Where did their entrepreneur spirit come from? What were two of Cheryl's biggest lessons from college? What was it about sweeping floors and climbing stairs that impacted Danny so heavily?
