Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#1105 - Good News On Urban Crime: As Voters fire Soros DAs Crime Goes Down
Q: Tell me exactly what this rule change does, and then why you don't think it goes far enough.
John Crump explains that the latest DOJ rule change narrows the definition of machine guns but still extends to frames and receivers, potentially enabling future regulation of parts and kits; he argues this does not sufficiently limit regulatory reach and could be used by future administrations to constrain gun parts.
#1062 - Principals, Teachers, Unions Organize School Anti-ICE Walkouts
Q: If I refuse to come back to work, isn't that a walkout?
Yes, it is a walkout, but they're not counting the COVID years when teachers refused to come back to work.
#1048 - Asst. AG for Civil Rights in DOJ Shares How They Are Fighting for 2A Rights
Q: What are some of the things that are being looked at in terms of federal actions regarding Second Amendment rights?
Federal actions include reforms to ATF regulations and addressing unconstitutional restrictions on firearm shipping.
Unpacking Gun Control Myths with Dr. John Lott
Q: What are the common mistakes made by gun control groups in their research?
Dr. Lott explains that many groups make purely cross-sectional comparisons and fail to address the higher rates of homicide present before gun control laws were imposed in certain areas.
Unpacking Gun Control Myths with Dr. John Lott
