[00:00.000 --> 00:05.800]  Welcome to the vodcast. I'm about as pro-gun as a perskin can get. I've served as an army
[00:05.800 --> 00:10.280]  ranger, law enforcement, and taught firearms tactics and use of force most of my adult
[00:10.280 --> 00:16.760]  life. With that said, I believe America has a mass shooting problem. I don't know anybody
[00:16.760 --> 00:21.820]  who would disagree with that. What we disagree on is how to address the problem. What does
[00:21.820 --> 00:28.820]  not help in any way, shape, or form is anti-gunners offering absurdly childish rhetoric and uninformed
[00:29.120 --> 00:35.620]  nonsense.
[00:35.620 --> 00:42.620]  The Dr. Reality Vodcast with Dave Champion.
[00:46.980 --> 00:52.980]  Let's start with this. Michael Tomasky, editor of the New Republic, is a blithering idiot
[00:52.980 --> 00:58.780]  whose incendiary false claims only make finding a solution to the problem more difficult and
[00:58.780 --> 01:04.060]  less likely. We'll look at his false incendiary statements and then move on to his abject
[01:04.060 --> 01:08.140]  ignorance on the subject upon which he is speaking. I'll put the link to him saying
[01:08.140 --> 01:15.140]  those things in the notes. Tomasky recently wrote that quote, the gun industry wants America's
[01:15.220 --> 01:22.220]  malls and schools to be war zones. Close quote. This is what I mean by a blithering idiot
[01:22.220 --> 01:27.180]  making incendiary false claims. I know the vast majority of those hearing his words are
[01:27.180 --> 01:32.740]  rolling their eyes at the stupidity and the childishness of his assertions. I was in the
[01:32.740 --> 01:38.140]  firearms industry for years. There are few people more dedicated to the idea that firearms
[01:38.140 --> 01:44.580]  should never be misused than those within the industry. I'm 63 years old and I have
[01:44.580 --> 01:50.100]  never once heard anyone in the industry even make a cavalier comment about people rolling
[01:51.100 --> 01:57.420]  wrongfully using firearms to harm the innocent. In fact, there are few things that infuriate
[01:57.420 --> 02:03.780]  people within the industry more than the products they sell being misused to harm the innocent.
[02:03.780 --> 02:10.700]  But to more directly address Tomasky's infantile assertion. For anyone to believe the gun industry
[02:10.700 --> 02:15.100]  wants America's malls and schools to be war zones, one would have to believe that the
[02:15.100 --> 02:19.700]  men and women who are executives at companies in the firearms industry don't send their
[02:19.700 --> 02:24.940]  children to school and their spouses and kids are prohibited from ever going to the mall.
[02:24.940 --> 02:30.780]  Both of these points are, of course, nonsensical. Then we come to Tomasky's display of profound
[02:30.780 --> 02:35.340]  ignorance. Or maybe he's not ignorant. Maybe he's just an out and out liar. That's for
[02:35.340 --> 02:41.020]  you to decide. Tomasky writes that the firearms industry continues to release ever more deadly
[02:41.980 --> 02:46.700]  To support that idiotic claim, he references SIG Sauer releasing its XCM Spear, which is a
[02:46.700 --> 02:53.660]  semi-automatic version of the Army's new XM7 rifle. Virtually all rifle manufacturers in the U.S.
[02:53.660 --> 02:58.940]  produce a semi-automatic version of various military rifles. There's nothing new or unusual
[02:58.940 --> 03:03.500]  about it. It has been the practice since long before mass shootings became a thing.
[03:04.220 --> 03:09.420]  Further, the functionality of the SIG rifle is identical to the AR. There are literally no
[03:09.420 --> 03:14.700]  differences. A person presses the trigger and a single round is fired. To fire another round,
[03:14.700 --> 03:19.900]  the shooter must let off the trigger until it reaches its reset point. Only then can the
[03:19.900 --> 03:26.300]  shooter fire the next round. The XCM Spear and the AR have the exact same functionality.
[03:26.300 --> 03:31.740]  If the XCM Spear and the AR have the exact same functionality, why would Tomasky claim the XCM
[03:31.740 --> 03:37.740]  Spear is proof that the firearms industry just keeps putting out ever more deadly weapons?
[03:38.380 --> 03:44.060]  I'm confident that if Tomasky was asked that question directly, he couldn't answer it because
[03:44.060 --> 03:50.140]  he knows nothing about firearms. Decades ago, you bought a rifle in the caliber you wanted,
[03:50.140 --> 03:55.340]  and that was the only caliber that rifle would ever fire. Over time, consumers expressed an
[03:55.340 --> 03:59.820]  interest to purchase a single rifle and enjoy the benefits of being able to swap out certain
[03:59.820 --> 04:05.900]  parts and have it fire a different caliber round. In short, instead of buying, as an example,
[04:05.900 --> 04:11.500]  three rifles, a person could buy one rifle that could be converted to fire three different calibers.
[04:12.140 --> 04:17.020]  One might think this would thrill Tomasky because people would be buying fewer rifles,
[04:17.020 --> 04:21.740]  but since he hasn't a clue about firearms, that thought would never cross his mind.
[04:22.460 --> 04:27.340]  In the early iterations, changing calibers was cumbersome, but over time, consumer demand for
[04:27.340 --> 04:32.780]  these convertible units drove innovation and most rifles you buy today, if they offer a caliber
[04:32.780 --> 04:38.780]  conversion, the conversion is quick and simple. SIG's CXM Spear is an example of that modern
[04:38.780 --> 04:43.660]  reality. It can be converted to various calibers easily and quickly with just a few common tools.
[04:44.300 --> 04:49.740]  The issue of caliber brings us to what has Tomasky concerned, even though he's too ignorant about
[04:49.740 --> 04:55.980]  firearms to understand the issue. The SIG XCM Spear can run a number of calibers, including
[04:55.980 --> 05:02.300]  300 Blackout, 5.56, which is the traditional AR-15 round, 7.62x39, which is best known as
[05:02.300 --> 05:09.100]  the round traditionally fired from an AK-47, 7.62x51, which has been around forever and is
[05:09.100 --> 05:17.980]  sometimes referred to as the 308, the 277 SIG Fury, and 6.5 Creedmoor. I could get into the
[05:17.980 --> 05:23.260]  external ballistics of each of these rounds, but why? You'll have the answer to that shortly.
[05:23.980 --> 05:28.940]  Decades ago, when I was in a law enforcement class to become a Glock law enforcement handgun
[05:28.940 --> 05:35.740]  instructor, the head instructor of that class was slender about 5'8", since I know his background,
[05:35.740 --> 05:41.980]  including but not limited to his being a Green Beret in Vietnam. He's probably killed more people
[05:41.980 --> 05:48.700]  than you've ever met. He was a chill guy with an unassuming demeanor. During the course, someone
[05:48.700 --> 05:52.860]  asked what handgun caliber he thought was best. Before he got into answering the question in
[05:52.860 --> 05:58.620]  earnest, he said, I don't want to get shot by a .22. For those who understand fighting with a
[05:58.620 --> 06:04.620]  handgun rather than merely doing range time, the issue is far more about shot placement than caliber.
[06:04.620 --> 06:09.740]  His point that day to a room full of cops was that getting shot by any bullet of any caliber
[06:09.740 --> 06:14.460]  hurts like a motherfucker and often degrades your ability to fight at your full potential.

[06:20.860 --> 06:26.540]  If you aren't yet on the free speech platform Rumble, this is a perfect time to get on board.
[06:26.540 --> 06:32.380]  A platform that permits a free exchange of ideas rather than censoring open debate is where every
[06:32.380 --> 06:37.740]  American should want to be. Let's examine Tomaski's statement about the Sig XCM Spear
[06:37.740 --> 06:44.460]  in the context of mass shootings. Tomaski brings up that the Sig Fury round, which he didn't name
[06:44.460 --> 06:50.060]  because he doesn't know the name, is better at penetrating body armor. Remember that list of
[06:50.060 --> 06:58.140]  calibers we discussed a moment ago, 300 Blackout, 5.56, 7.62x39, 7.62x51, Sig Fury, and the 6.5
[06:58.140 --> 07:04.620]  Creedmoor? Every single one of those rounds will go through soft body armor like a hot knife through
[07:04.620 --> 07:11.340]  butter. So in terms of soft body armor, there is absolutely no difference between, as an example,
[07:11.340 --> 07:19.340]  the 7.62x51 first introduced in 1952 and the Sig Fury that was introduced in 2019.
[07:19.900 --> 07:25.660]  Phrased another way, although those rounds were introduced 67 years apart, in terms of penetrating
[07:25.660 --> 07:32.380]  soft body armor, both do the exact same job. So Tomaski's claim that the Sig XCM Spear is
[07:32.380 --> 07:39.740]  more deadly than its predecessors is false and idiotic. Where did Tomaski get the notion that
[07:39.740 --> 07:45.420]  the XCM is better at penetrating body armor? Some foreign troops are now wearing body armor
[07:45.420 --> 07:50.700]  that's more protective against rifle rounds than they were years ago. I've heard it said that the
[07:50.700 --> 07:57.340]  Sig Fury is better at penetrating the newer body armor worn by some foreign troops, but the assertion
[07:57.340 --> 08:03.340]  that it's better has to be taken in context. The main U.S. battle rifle for the last 60 years has
[08:03.340 --> 08:12.380]  been the M16 in its M4 variant, which fires the anemic 5.56x45 round. In my opinion, that decision
[08:12.380 --> 08:17.820]  was not a brilliant one, but it was made by government, so there's that. The M16 was never
[08:17.820 --> 08:21.900]  intended to be a main battle rifle. It was originally designed by legendary firearms designer
[08:21.900 --> 08:28.380]  Eugene Stoner as a lightweight weapon that could be used in a pinch by pilots whose aircraft had
[08:28.380 --> 08:33.660]  gone down behind enemy lines. In other words, it was lightweight enough to be secured in a compartment
[08:33.660 --> 08:38.620]  of the plane along with a couple of magazines. A downed pilot would be able to fight a defensive
[08:38.620 --> 08:43.900]  action for a short period of time until Air Force para rescues could extract him. That was its
[08:43.900 --> 08:51.340]  intended purpose. Stoner never envisioned it as a main battle rifle. Anyway, the context is that some
[08:51.340 --> 08:58.700]  foreign soldiers are now wearing improved body armor the anemic 5.56 can't penetrate. That said,
[08:58.700 --> 09:04.380]  it's a virtual certainty any of the other rounds we've discussed today will defeat the newer combat
[09:04.380 --> 09:10.140]  body armor. By comparison, what is the context of a criminal psychopath shooting a bunch of innocent
[09:10.140 --> 09:15.580]  people at a bowling alley, post office, grocery store, factory, mall, or school? Is anyone wearing
[09:15.580 --> 09:20.780]  the newest generation of advanced battlefield body armor issued to foreign troops? Is anyone
[09:20.780 --> 09:27.980]  wearing any body armor at all? Of course not. The point is, in that context, it doesn't matter what
[09:28.060 --> 09:35.260]  the caliber is. In that context, all calibers are the same. Accordingly, the Sig XCM is no more or
[09:35.260 --> 09:44.300]  less deadly than a rifle manufactured as an example 70 years ago. And Tomaski is a moron.
[09:45.180 --> 09:49.020]  Now I'm going to say something that may cause some folks to feel uncomfortable.
[09:49.580 --> 09:56.540]  It is nevertheless true. The statement is this. If I was so inclined, I could take this
[09:56.540 --> 10:03.340]  45 caliber handgun that I carry every day and kill a lot more people in a public space
[10:03.340 --> 10:09.500]  in a much shorter period of time than do mass shooters with rifles. Why? Because I'm a
[10:09.500 --> 10:14.380]  professional and the mass shooters are buffoons. But the larger point I'm making by sharing that
[10:14.380 --> 10:19.820]  information with you is the caliber isn't the critical factor and we should all be thankful
[10:19.820 --> 10:26.300]  these mentally ill murderers have no skills. During an MSNBC appearance to highlight and
[10:26.300 --> 10:31.980]  promote his absurd claims, Tomaski was asked what can be done to stop the firearms industry. His
[10:31.980 --> 10:38.380]  answer was that in 2024, Democrats have to take all three houses. And again, he's either an idiot,
[10:39.500 --> 10:45.900]  he's lying, or he's knowingly manipulating those who watch MSNBC because the Supreme Court's Bruin
[10:45.900 --> 10:50.380]  decision prevents lawmakers from interfering with our inalienable right to keep their arms.
[10:50.380 --> 10:55.340]  The Bruin decision does that by applying the standard that if legislation would not have
[10:55.340 --> 11:00.700]  passed muster with the founding generation who wrote the Second Amendment, then such legislation
[11:00.700 --> 11:06.700]  cannot be considered constitutional today. With that standard in place, it wouldn't matter if
[11:06.700 --> 11:12.300]  100% of the House and Senate were anti-gun dems and the President was the same. Whatever laws might
[11:12.300 --> 11:16.540]  come out of such a construct would be struck down by the Supreme Court in short order under the
[11:16.540 --> 11:22.540]  Bruin standard. One of the things that concerns me about Tomaski's appearance on MSNBC is that
[11:22.540 --> 11:28.940]  because people who are knowledgeable about firearms don't watch MSNBC, Tomaski is spewing
[11:28.940 --> 11:35.340]  his bullshit to an audience that doesn't know any of the things we've discussed today and therefore
[11:35.340 --> 11:41.980]  likely believe him. And that brings me back to the point of this presentation. How does spewing
[11:41.980 --> 11:48.540]  ignorance or lies to millions of people who are too uninformed to know they're being fed BS
[11:49.180 --> 11:56.060]  help America effectively address mass shootings? Answer. It doesn't. In fact, it makes it harder
[11:56.060 --> 12:03.020]  to effectively address mass shootings. Why? Because people who buy Tomaski's bullshit become
[12:03.020 --> 12:09.340]  incapable of having a dialogue with someone like me. Why? Because guys like Tomaski program them
[12:09.340 --> 12:14.860]  to believe that people with my background want malls and schools to be war zones. In other words,
[12:14.860 --> 12:20.620]  they've been programmed to believe that I am the enemy when in fact on the subject of mass shootings
[12:20.620 --> 12:25.740]  we both want the same thing. While I say we both want the same thing, I think it obvious our thoughts
[12:25.740 --> 12:31.580]  on how to get there are quite different. Because the Bruin standard effectively shuts down their
[12:31.580 --> 12:37.020]  dream of banning guns or even certain types of guns, I would suggest to anti-gunners that they
[12:37.020 --> 12:42.700]  start talking with people like me about how best to address mass shootings, at least if they have
[12:42.700 --> 12:47.340]  any real interest in addressing them rather than using dead Americans as talking points.
[12:48.140 --> 12:54.620]  Back in 2022, I did a presentation discussing what works and what doesn't work in terms of addressing
[12:54.620 --> 12:59.340]  the mass shooting problem. I'll put a link to that down in the notes. Remember a moment ago,
[12:59.340 --> 13:06.460]  I mentioned that I carry a handgun every day. Why do I do that? I think the best way to answer that
[13:06.460 --> 13:11.980]  in context of today's discussion is to point out that at the most fundamental level there is a
[13:11.980 --> 13:17.900]  significant difference in the moral compass of people like myself and Tomaskey. While Tomaskey
[13:17.900 --> 13:24.300]  asks, how many children have to die before you'll give up your guns? I ask, how many children have
[13:24.300 --> 13:30.860]  to die before you'll pick up a gun to protect them? Destructive disinformation like Tomaskey
[13:30.860 --> 13:35.740]  is spreading isn't limited to just guns. The US government and trillion dollar industries have
[13:35.740 --> 13:40.540]  been spreading disinformation about human physiology for decades. Their disinformation
[13:40.540 --> 13:46.700]  has resulted in the American people being the most ill society in all of human history. If you think
[13:46.700 --> 13:52.940]  that's just coincidence, you're wrong. I know it may be hard for some people to accept, but the
[13:52.940 --> 13:59.660]  disinformation has been put out to achieve exactly that result. In body science, I detail how going
[13:59.660 --> 14:04.860]  back all the way to the early 1960s, the narrative fed to the public about nutrition and human
[14:04.860 --> 14:13.900]  physiology was false. And to be clear, it wasn't mistaken. It was knowingly false. They knew it was
[14:13.900 --> 14:19.980]  false when they put it out. I give examples, including naming the conspirators who accepted
[14:19.980 --> 14:25.420]  industry money to falsify science in such a way that the health of the American people would be
[14:25.420 --> 14:29.980]  harmed. After the government joined the disinformation campaign in 1980, you can
[14:29.980 --> 14:34.780]  literally chart the dramatic increase in chronic disease that has led Americans to be the most
[14:34.940 --> 14:42.140]  ill people on the planet. I wrote body science because America is in the midst of a health crisis
[14:42.700 --> 14:46.940]  that has been manufactured. I don't mean that the stories about the explosion of illness and
[14:46.940 --> 14:51.820]  premature death in the US have been manufactured. Those stories are very real. I mean that the
[14:51.820 --> 14:59.740]  massive level of illness in the United States has been created by so-called trusted sources knowingly,
[14:59.740 --> 15:05.020]  willfully, and intentionally lying to the American people about nutritional physiology
[15:05.020 --> 15:11.740]  for 60 years. In addition, Americans are the most ill people on the planet because they believed
[15:11.740 --> 15:19.500]  people who were lying to them and continue to do so to this very day. As horrendous as that is,
[15:19.500 --> 15:25.500]  the good news is reading one book will forever sweep away their disinformation and make it
[15:25.500 --> 15:33.260]  crystal clear how every American can live a wonderfully healthy life. What could it hurt
[15:33.260 --> 15:39.820]  to read body science? It's not an expensive book. If I'm wrong, you blew a few bucks. If I'm right,
[15:39.820 --> 15:44.780]  your entire view of nutritional physiology will do a 180 and you will be one of the people living
[15:44.780 --> 15:50.220]  a wonderfully healthy life. I should point out that in the years since body science was released,
[15:50.220 --> 15:55.260]  it has never received anything less than five star reader reviews so you can be assured your
[15:55.260 --> 16:01.100]  money will be well spent. Another area where Americans have been horrifically harmed by
[16:01.100 --> 16:06.140]  government disinformation is the false narrative that everyone who earns a living owes income tax
[16:06.140 --> 16:12.700]  to the government. That narrative is the result of yet another 60-year disinformation campaign by
[16:12.700 --> 16:18.940]  the US government. When I say that narrative has resulted in horrific harm, I'm talking about the
[16:18.940 --> 16:26.780]  US government scamming the American people out of trillions of dollars every year. That's trillions
[16:26.780 --> 16:33.900]  of dollars that belong to you that the government has never had any legal right to and which should
[16:33.900 --> 16:39.020]  have remained in your possession being used by you for the benefit of yourself and your family.
[16:39.820 --> 16:45.020]  But instead, you were scammed out of it by the government and what I refer to in income tax
[16:45.020 --> 16:51.420]  Shattering the Mists as the largest financial crime in world history and the victims are the
[16:51.420 --> 16:59.100]  working men and women of America. In all my works, I ask people not to believe me but to challenge
[16:59.100 --> 17:04.860]  and test the information I present to see if it's factual, if it's credible. I always appreciate when
[17:04.860 --> 17:09.340]  people do exactly that because it is one of the best ways to learn what is true and what is not
[17:09.980 --> 17:16.220]  or phrased another way. Who's telling the truth and who's lying to you? A reader recently shared
[17:16.220 --> 17:22.620]  this comment with me, quote, I use both your books and both booklets to debate with everyone
[17:22.620 --> 17:29.260]  in a friendly manner. At first, I tried to prove you wrong, which led me to see you are correct,
[17:29.260 --> 17:34.380]  close quote. I don't know about you, but I see our servant governments stealing the property of
[17:34.380 --> 17:41.420]  American families by scamming we the people out with disinformation to be morally unacceptable.
[17:42.220 --> 17:45.980]  Apparently, I'm not alone in that because here's what another reader recently shared.
[17:46.540 --> 17:54.540]  Thanks, Dr. Dave. I'm walking the walk on taxes thanks to you and as what I call a moral obligation,
[17:54.540 --> 18:00.460]  I've given five copies out to my family members as well as body science. I can't thank you enough,
[18:00.460 --> 18:05.980]  close quote. You might think a book on the income tax is dry and boring. Nothing could
[18:05.980 --> 18:10.700]  be further from the truth. Readers have repeatedly referred to it as a page turner because it's
[18:10.700 --> 18:14.940]  written like a mystery tale. With each revelation of how the scam has been established and placed
[18:14.940 --> 18:22.940]  into effect, you want to know more. The story is truly amazing and it's a story every American
[18:22.940 --> 18:29.660]  should read and know. Income tax shattering the mist is the result of 17 years of research broken
[18:29.660 --> 18:35.020]  down in a way that every American can readily understand. What the law really says as opposed
[18:35.020 --> 18:40.460]  to what you've been told it says is why I haven't filed a tax return or paid a penny of income tax
[18:40.460 --> 18:47.100]  for 30 years and thousands of your fellow Americans have safely walked away from the income tax scam.
[18:47.100 --> 18:53.340]  But you can't even contemplate that until you stop listening to what others have told you about the
[18:53.340 --> 18:59.340]  income tax and discover the truth for yourself. Only then can you decide what you want to do
[18:59.340 --> 19:09.100]  about it. If you're a truth seeker, please go to drreality.news and pick up a copy of income tax
