[00:01.760 --> 00:09.800] A number of you have asked me to speak to the issue of Joe Biden's proposed common-sense [00:09.800 --> 00:10.800] gun control. [00:10.800 --> 00:15.960] Now, this is an issue not with Biden, of course, but historically over the decades I've spoken [00:15.960 --> 00:20.200] about quite frequently and I haven't in the last 14 months because I've been dealing [00:20.200 --> 00:22.920] primarily with the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak. [00:22.920 --> 00:27.720] So yeah, this is not a foreign subject to me at all. [00:30.000 --> 00:38.320] Because I haven't spoken about this in so long, let me share with you a little bit of [00:38.320 --> 00:41.960] my relevant background so that you can appreciate where I'm coming from. [00:41.960 --> 00:43.680] I'm a former Army Ranger. [00:43.680 --> 00:45.160] Yes, that's me. [00:45.160 --> 00:48.640] Many, many decades ago. [00:48.640 --> 00:52.920] Former law enforcement, yeah, almost as long ago. [00:53.040 --> 01:00.240] Most of my adult life I've taught firearms, tactics, use of force, the vaunted handgun [01:00.240 --> 01:04.400] combat master program, and much more. [01:04.400 --> 01:09.160] Because of my passionate support for the right to keep and bear arms, Ed Brown, one of the [01:09.160 --> 01:16.440] top three 1911 manufacturers in the world, created several years ago the Champion Malone [01:16.440 --> 01:17.440] Lavay. [01:17.440 --> 01:22.120] His signature series named after me, I specified all the details on the firearm and to this [01:22.120 --> 01:27.440] day it remains the best-selling Ed Brown signature piece in history. [01:27.440 --> 01:32.280] On my previous radio shows and television show, I've spoken passionately in support [01:32.280 --> 01:34.400] of the right to keep and bear arms. [01:34.400 --> 01:42.520] So it would be accurate to say that I am a fervent protector of the right to keep and [01:42.520 --> 01:43.520] bear arms. [01:43.520 --> 01:49.120] I'm about to share with you some of the items in Joe Biden's vision of common sense gun [01:49.120 --> 01:50.120] control. [01:50.200 --> 01:52.720] Before I do, I want to let you know where I got this list from. [01:52.720 --> 01:56.800] I got this list from Joe Biden's campaign website. [01:56.800 --> 01:59.120] And before I list some of the things, I'm not going to list them all, it will go on [01:59.120 --> 02:00.120] and on and on. [02:00.120 --> 02:03.920] Before I list some of the things, I want to tell you, as I was reading down the list, [02:03.920 --> 02:11.600] it was like, okay, so this is either written by an idiot, perhaps for the consumption of [02:11.600 --> 02:18.280] idiots, or it was written by a propagandist for consumption by idiots. [02:18.280 --> 02:21.680] What's super apparent when you read that on Joe Biden's campaign website is whoever [02:21.680 --> 02:25.640] wrote it has absolutely no real-life experience with firearms. [02:25.640 --> 02:27.520] Go figure. [02:27.520 --> 02:32.880] The first thing on the ridiculous list is hold firearms manufacturers accountable for [02:32.880 --> 02:34.880] how people use their products. [02:34.880 --> 02:39.920] You know, like the courts hold Jack Daniels accountable when somebody drinks too much [02:39.920 --> 02:44.640] Jack Daniels and goes out and gets in an accident or harms somebody. [02:44.640 --> 02:47.680] Or hammer manufacturers, right? [02:47.680 --> 02:48.840] We see this all the time. [02:48.840 --> 02:52.320] Somebody gets mad, takes a hammer, smacks somebody in the head, and the victim sues [02:52.320 --> 02:56.280] the hammer manufacturer, right? [02:56.280 --> 03:00.160] Can you say double standard? [03:00.160 --> 03:06.920] Next up on the list is they want to ban the sale of semi-automatic weapons that use detachable [03:06.920 --> 03:12.560] box magazines, what stupid people call assault weapons. [03:12.560 --> 03:14.640] Assault is a verb. [03:14.640 --> 03:15.640] Look it up. [03:15.640 --> 03:16.640] It's not a now. [03:16.640 --> 03:17.640] It's a verb. [03:18.600 --> 03:23.920] So if we were to use the nonsense on Biden's campaign website, then when somebody hits [03:23.920 --> 03:27.760] somebody with a hammer, we'd then have to consider all hammers. [03:27.760 --> 03:30.840] By the way, hammers are used really, really, really, really frequently. [03:30.840 --> 03:34.480] It's up here at the top of the list for attacking people and doing violence. [03:34.480 --> 03:36.720] So we have assault hammers. [03:36.720 --> 03:45.240] We have assault bricks, assault screwdrivers, and assault ballpoint pens. [03:45.240 --> 03:49.800] I could kill a person with a rolled up magazine, so there's that. [03:49.800 --> 03:55.000] And needless to say, a lot of people have been killed with plain old hands. [03:55.000 --> 04:00.840] And of course, because gun control is normally something that is pursued by stupid people, [04:00.840 --> 04:03.200] I've done this before in other videos, so I'm not going to get into it today and make [04:03.200 --> 04:04.200] this video too long. [04:04.200 --> 04:10.240] But I have literally shown firearms that have been dressed up one way, same exact action, [04:10.240 --> 04:12.760] same exact round, dressed up one way. [04:12.760 --> 04:16.760] You can ask somebody and they're like, oh, that looks like my grandfather's old rifle. [04:16.760 --> 04:19.360] And all you do is dress it up differently. [04:19.360 --> 04:22.600] Oh, that's one of them evil assault rifles. [04:22.600 --> 04:25.000] We got to get rid of that. [04:25.000 --> 04:32.400] Next up, if you own one of those evil weapons, then the Biden administration wants you to [04:32.400 --> 04:34.560] have to register them. [04:34.560 --> 04:36.600] You've owned them for years, peaceably. [04:36.600 --> 04:38.520] Perhaps you've owned them for decades. [04:39.240 --> 04:44.720] Suddenly, now, for no particular reason, he wants you to register them. [04:44.720 --> 04:47.680] Yeah, good luck with that. [04:47.680 --> 04:57.320] Next, we have to ban high capacity magazines, which, like I said, the whole gun control [04:57.320 --> 04:59.120] argument is just promoted by idiots. [04:59.120 --> 05:01.360] So these are not high capacity magazines. [05:01.360 --> 05:03.400] These are standard capacity magazines. [05:03.400 --> 05:04.760] Let me show you a few. [05:04.760 --> 05:13.240] This is a 20-round detachable box magazine for an AR rifle, and it is a standard magazine. [05:13.240 --> 05:16.240] That is, standard capacity. [05:16.240 --> 05:19.640] Not high capacity, standard capacity. [05:19.640 --> 05:24.960] This is a 30-round detachable box magazine for an AR rifle. [05:24.960 --> 05:27.600] Yes, that is also a standard variant. [05:27.600 --> 05:30.560] Oh, can't use the word variant anymore with SARS-CoV-2. [05:30.560 --> 05:32.920] That is also a standard variant. [05:32.920 --> 05:34.960] It's just a slightly different magazine. [05:34.960 --> 05:39.840] The 20-round, it is also considered in the industry, considering that weapon system, [05:39.840 --> 05:45.200] a standard capacity magazine, not high capacity. [05:45.200 --> 05:54.440] I also love that the idiots who promote gun control think AR stands for assault rifle. [05:54.440 --> 05:57.440] You cannot make up that level of stupidity. [05:57.440 --> 06:03.600] What you're looking at is a standard capacity magazine for a Glock 17. [06:03.600 --> 06:06.520] It holds 17 rounds. [06:06.520 --> 06:12.040] It has, since the very day that weapon was introduced to the market back in, I think, [06:12.040 --> 06:16.600] the very late 80s, I literally carried one of those on duty. [06:16.600 --> 06:19.920] That is a standard capacity magazine. [06:19.920 --> 06:24.040] So to be clear, not one of these magazines, and I could have gone on and on and on trying [06:24.040 --> 06:27.080] to keep it short, not one of these magazines is a high capacity magazine. [06:27.080 --> 06:31.920] They're all standard capacity magazines for the particular weapon system that they run in. [06:31.920 --> 06:38.640] There's just more bullets in them than some sphincter like Biden wants you to have in your magazines. [06:38.640 --> 06:40.560] Well, that's a matter of personal opinion. [06:40.560 --> 06:45.840] So hey, Biden, there's a lot more I could go into, but I think you get the gist. [06:45.840 --> 06:47.840] So let's move on to the political side of it. [06:47.840 --> 06:53.720] I'm in my early 60s, so you can imagine that I've been through this sequence of anti-gun, [06:53.720 --> 06:58.480] pro-gun, anti-gun, pro-gun, anti-gun, pro-gun legislation forever. [06:58.480 --> 07:02.320] I'm glad to see that a lot of the states have decided to go to constitutional carry. [07:02.320 --> 07:05.600] For those who care to see it, that's very instructive. [07:05.600 --> 07:14.240] You can carry around a handgun like a Glock 17 with a high capacity magazine without a [07:14.240 --> 07:15.800] permission slip from the government. [07:15.800 --> 07:19.400] And in virtually every single state where they've gone to constitutional carry, street [07:19.400 --> 07:20.720] crime has gone down. [07:20.720 --> 07:22.440] Hey, go figure. [07:23.200 --> 07:28.440] No, every fender bender doesn't turn into a shootout at all. [07:28.440 --> 07:35.880] Having been through this a lot in my life, there's a reason that I'm not particularly [07:35.880 --> 07:36.880] concerned. [07:36.880 --> 07:40.200] I'm going to speak about it generally, and then I'm going to speak about it specifically [07:40.200 --> 07:43.320] with the Congress we have in 2021. [07:43.320 --> 07:49.760] So generally, Dems have to say anti-gun stuff. [07:49.760 --> 07:54.120] It's just like what they have to do in order to keep their idiot base happy. [07:54.120 --> 07:56.040] They have to say anti-gun stuff. [07:56.040 --> 08:00.160] Yeah, it's so fun and it makes the idiots feel good. [08:00.160 --> 08:05.320] Okay, but if you think I'm just banging on Dems, no, because it's no different than [08:05.320 --> 08:10.760] Republicans saying, well, I believe in smaller government and fiscal responsibility. [08:10.760 --> 08:14.320] And it makes all the idiots on the right feel good. [08:14.320 --> 08:17.720] It's the same shit different parties. [08:17.760 --> 08:24.040] So when Democrats make anti-gun noises, I try and judge whether they're really planning [08:24.040 --> 08:25.040] to pursue it. [08:25.040 --> 08:28.920] And my estimation of Biden is no, he's not. [08:28.920 --> 08:36.720] He's pushing it because he knows with this particular Congress, it's going nowhere. [08:36.720 --> 08:40.800] But it does allow him to make his base happy and feel good. [08:40.800 --> 08:43.720] Someone is going to introduce this legislation in the House. [08:43.720 --> 08:46.320] It's as sure as my name is David Champion. [08:46.720 --> 08:50.720] However, whether that legislation gets out of committee is a whole other issue. [08:50.720 --> 08:54.560] And that has to do with a whole lot of other things I'm not going to get into. [08:54.560 --> 08:56.040] But I will say this. [08:56.040 --> 09:02.000] Right now as I'm sitting here talking to you, the Democrats have a 10-seat majority in the [09:02.000 --> 09:03.000] House. [09:03.000 --> 09:06.680] There are three vacancies, two of which are because Republicans died. [09:06.680 --> 09:10.560] Okay, so I'm not sure what the state laws in each of those two states, but generally [09:10.560 --> 09:12.840] what happens is the governor appoints somebody. [09:12.880 --> 09:17.440] So if the governor appoints Republicans to take the place of Republicans, that 10-seat [09:17.440 --> 09:22.040] majority held by the Democrats is going to go down to an 8-seat majority. [09:22.040 --> 09:27.840] An 8-seat majority in a House with 435 representatives. [09:27.840 --> 09:29.520] That is slim. [09:29.520 --> 09:34.880] Not only is that slim, but a lot of Southern Democrats know that if they want to get re-elected, [09:34.880 --> 09:38.440] which of course for every politician is job one, the hell with gun control, the hell with [09:38.440 --> 09:41.360] COVID-19, the hell with the economy, I just want to get re-elected. [09:41.880 --> 09:45.000] So a lot of Southern Democrats know if they vote for gun control, they're done. [09:45.000 --> 09:47.400] They're not getting re-elected at the next election. [09:47.400 --> 09:52.200] So the fact that you have an 8-seat majority for the Democrats, but then Southern Democrats [09:52.200 --> 09:57.040] probably aren't going to be able to vote for anti-gun legislation. [09:57.040 --> 10:00.880] So let's say it got out of committee in the House and it went to a floor vote, which I [10:00.880 --> 10:01.880] don't think is even going to happen. [10:01.880 --> 10:06.960] But let's say that happened and let's say miraculously somehow it passed. [10:07.560 --> 10:13.600] Then it has to go to the Senate, where odds are even slimmer that it would pass. [10:13.600 --> 10:16.720] It's said right now that 50 seats are held by Republicans and 50 seats are held by Democrats, [10:16.720 --> 10:17.720] but that's not really true. [10:17.720 --> 10:21.920] You've got 50 seats that are held by Republicans, 48 seats that are held by Democrats, and two [10:21.920 --> 10:23.880] seats that are held by independents. [10:23.880 --> 10:27.040] Those independents actually caucus with the Democrats, so they're considered to side [10:27.040 --> 10:29.740] with the Democrats, but they're still not Democrats. [10:29.740 --> 10:32.000] So the same equation applies. [10:32.040 --> 10:37.000] A lot of Southern Democrat senators know if they vote for gun control legislation, they're [10:37.000 --> 10:39.460] not going back to the Senate at the next election. [10:39.460 --> 10:47.600] So now you've got no majority, the Dems have no majority in the Senate, and some of the [10:47.600 --> 10:51.240] Dems are absolutely going to refuse to vote for any gun control because they want to get [10:51.240 --> 10:52.240] their seat back. [10:52.240 --> 10:57.080] Okay, let's say I'm completely wrong about this and Bill gets out of committee in the [10:57.080 --> 10:59.480] House and the House votes on it and passes it. [10:59.480 --> 11:03.480] They send it to the Senate and somehow super miraculously it passes the Senate. [11:03.480 --> 11:07.720] Yeah, it's going to go to the White House and Biden would almost certainly sign it. [11:07.720 --> 11:08.720] But then what? [11:08.720 --> 11:13.560] Well, then the provisions are going to get appealed all the way to the Supreme Court, [11:13.560 --> 11:21.480] which currently has and will have for quite some time six Republicans out of nine. [11:21.480 --> 11:25.080] Six have one view, three have another view. [11:25.080 --> 11:31.360] Six are relatively pro-gun because there's a difference of scale there within the six, [11:31.360 --> 11:32.360] but they are relatively pro-gun. [11:32.360 --> 11:36.000] And then you've got three who pretty much aren't. [11:36.000 --> 11:37.000] Six to three. [11:37.000 --> 11:46.520] A huge part of the problem is that federal anti-gun legislation relies on your ignorance. [11:46.520 --> 11:50.120] Okay, sorry, that's the truth. [11:50.120 --> 11:54.120] Because you don't know anything about the rules of statutory construction and the limits [11:54.160 --> 11:56.680] of federal jurisdiction within the states of the union. [11:56.680 --> 12:00.600] And because you don't know anything about that, you can get fooled, right? [12:00.600 --> 12:05.840] Not only can you get fooled, you have been fooled for 70 years now, 80 years now. [12:05.840 --> 12:09.400] You've been made a fool of and you just live with it. [12:09.400 --> 12:11.160] The good news is I'm going to fix that for you. [12:11.160 --> 12:16.320] I'm going to show you that federal firearms legislation has no applicability within the [12:16.320 --> 12:17.320] states of the union. [12:17.320 --> 12:20.680] And I know that may sound shocking to you, but it is true nevertheless. [12:20.680 --> 12:23.440] And I'm going to let you prove that to yourself. [12:23.760 --> 12:32.880] I want you to go to a website, I'll put it, I'll link it down in the notes, www.originalintent.org. [12:32.880 --> 12:34.480] This is what it looks like. [12:34.480 --> 12:38.120] You're going to click right here on education. [12:38.120 --> 12:39.120] You're going to see a big screen. [12:39.120 --> 12:41.360] I'm just showing you the left-hand part of that screen. [12:41.360 --> 12:44.920] And right here it says federal firearms law. [12:44.920 --> 12:49.040] You're going to click on that and you're going to read the treatise that I wrote, I don't [12:49.040 --> 12:53.840] know what, 18 years ago on federal firearms law and where they apply and where they don't. [12:53.840 --> 12:58.760] Now when you're reading that, I want you to keep something in mind. [12:58.760 --> 13:08.480] The Supreme Court has stated that no word used in a statute is to be considered superfluous. [13:08.480 --> 13:11.840] In other words, when the courts are looking at a statute, they can't take a word and say, [13:11.840 --> 13:16.080] okay, so that word, we're just going to throw that out. [13:16.080 --> 13:18.800] Not only do they have to consider it, but they have to give it the proper meaning within [13:18.800 --> 13:22.520] context of the statute, in context of the Constitution, if applicable, which it is in [13:22.520 --> 13:23.640] this case. [13:23.640 --> 13:30.360] So go ahead, go to Original Intent, read that treatise, get educated, and as I keep telling [13:30.360 --> 13:36.120] people, especially as of late, do share this with everyone.
