Speaker 3, Evan Nappen
Evan Nappen 00:16
I’m Evan Nappen, and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, the White House, the Biden-Harris Administration, just released their one year progress report that they euphemistically call the “Office of Gun Violence Prevention (OGVP)”. (https://www.ammoland.com/2024/09/white-house-releases-gun-violence- prevention-office-progress-report/) But in reality, it’s the Office of Gun Rights Suppression, because that’s what they do. They work on suppressing and oppressing our gun rights.
Evan Nappen 00:54
So, this Office of gun Rights Oppression has released a report detailing all the wonderful work they’ve done in oppressing our gun rights, and I want to review this report with you. You can access it online. (https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Year-One-Report-Final.pdf) It comes from the White House. Interestingly, the report throughout it refers to the report as the “Biden-Harris Administration”. So, it’s not President Biden. It’s the Biden-Harris Administration, by the White House’s own words. The key to remember here, folks, as gun owners, is that Vice President Harris was placed in charge of and oversaw the so-called “White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention”, which we’re going to call the “White House Office of Gun Rights Oppression. She’s the Head and Chief Oppressor.
Evan Nappen 02:11
Now, you better realize that this election is just that critical. We have a bona fide gun rights oppressor working toward incredible amounts of gun rights oppression that is proudly putting out a report of gun rights oppression. And you need to know what’s in this that they are bragging about, my friends, bragging about. It’s disgusting. If any of my listeners, I can’t imagine that you actually would fall for the lies from Komeela about her being “a gun owner”. That doesn’t mean anything. Some of the worst persons in history of the world, since there were firearms, were “gun owners”, and they were some of the most deadly of gun rights oppressors. So, being a gun owner doesn’t count for anything. What matters is what you’ve actually done.
Evan Nappen 03:24
Here we have a Biden-Harris administration bragging about gun rights oppression, putting it in their propaganda term of “gun violence prevention”. Of course, it’s gun violence, right? And so, what do they do here? They lay out their accomplishments and their roadmap to destroy our Second Amendment rights. You would think that our leaders, that those that have taken an oath to uphold the Constitution,
Page – 1 – of 9
would instead create a White House Office of Gun Rights Protection, expanding and protecting our cherished Constitutional rights. But no, no. This is about oppressing our rights.
Evan Nappen 04:22
Let’s take a look and take a dive into their report, the Biden-Harris record of gun violence prevention. So, that’s what they’re giving a background in. And of course, the translation is the Biden-Harris record of gun rights oppression, and what do they brag about? Well, this Office is dedicated to coordinating across Federal government and partnering with gun violence survivors, law enforcement, state and local officials, and community leaders with the shared goal of reducing gun violence. Or, in the alternative, increasing gun rights oppression.
Evan Nappen 05:06
So, how do they do this? Well, they start off with a big block quote framed in a black frame of Komeela, saying the following, and please don’t be fooled by anything she says to make you think that your gun rights are safe for you to vote for her or any Democrat for that matter. Here’s what she said, “President Biden and I have worked to address the epidemic of gun violence with the urgency it demands by enacting the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act . . .”, which was hardly bipartisan. You got a handful of Republican RINOs (Republican in Name Only) joining in. That’s it. They call it “Bipartisan”. Good grief. ” . . . – the most significant gun safety law . . .”. More of their garbage. It has nothing to do with “safety”. “. . . in nearly 30 years – and launching the first-ever White House Office of Gun” Rights Oppression. “In the year since President Biden asked me to oversee this office, our Administration has improved and expanded background checks, announced the single largest investment in youth mental health in history, and been an unprecedented resource to state, cities and local communities. We have also supported, convened, and worked alongside gun violence survivors, the families of those who have lost loved ones to shootings . . .” Oh, to shootings, not to crime, but just shootings. “. . . and other impacted individuals to tackle the trauma caused by gun violence.” Code speak gun violence. “I am committed to continuing this urgent work to ensure that every person in our nation has the freedom to live safe from gun violence.”
Evan Nappen 07:16
So, let’s take another look at that last line, folks. “I am committed to continuing this urgent work to ensure that every person in our nation has the freedom . . .” Do you believe this? The freedom. Their version of freedom is gun rights oppression. It’s taking away liberty, taking away rights. Only the twisted mind of a Democrat and of these progressive oppressors would twist it to their supporting freedom. What a joke. So, what’s the brags? Oh, here they go. “Expediting the Implementation of the Bipartisan Safer Community Act and Executive Actions to Address Gun Violence.” (BSCA) Oh, do you mean Executive Actions without the backing of the Legislature to oppress gun rights?
Evan Nappen 08:10
Well, what are they bragging about? Number one, “Expanding gun background checks and making clear that the gun show loophole does not exist.” Isn’t that weird wording? Like, that’s just weird. The gun show loophole doesn’t exist. But they’re making clear the gun show loophole doesn’t exist. Well, if the gun show loophole doesn’t exist, which we said it didn’t exist, why are you passing this to shut the gun law loophole? Now don’t expect an explanation. But they’re bragging about finalizing the rule by
Page – 2 – of 9
making it clear about the circumstances in which a person is engaging in the business, which is far from making anything clear. That freaking rule, that rule essentially makes it that anybody who sells a gun for profit can be deemed a dealer. Period! Period. They got rid of “for livelihood” in the definition, because those dumbass RINOs went along with it, and they’re using it to claim that anybody who wants to sell a gun for a profit at all. As a matter of fact, you don’t have to sell it for a profit. That’s how broad it is. You can be prosecuted for being an unlicensed dealer. So, this mechanism is in place, folks.
Evan Nappen 09:28
“Enhancing Gun Background Checks for Individuals Under Age 21.” What did they do? They’ve created a waiting period, a delay period. Even though you’re an adult. You can be drafted. They impose the draft. You can die for your country at 18, but you’re going to have to wait even longer and go through an extended background check if you’re under 21. Enforcing gun trafficking straw purchasing laws. As they contrive these offenses all the time against law-abiding citizens, where they create the crime for the person. “Keeping Guns Out of the Hands of Abusive Dating Partners.” So, you always want to see that expansion under that domestic violence federal definition, because that is one of the ways of gun grabbing. They have to find every mechanism to disenfranchise us, and this has been just a beauty for them. So, the more you can expand the ability to seize under a banner of domestic violence. You’ve seen that go nuts in Jersey all the time. I get those cases every week, all the time. It’s a never-ending flow. What you see is an abuse of the system, and I’ve talked about that on the show before.
Evan Nappen 10:57
Oh, and how about this one. “Implementing State Red Flag Laws.” Red flag! Red flag. Take guns without due process. That’s what New Jersey does. Their red flag has no due process until after. Until after your home’s been raided, your guns have been seized and you’ve been declared, under a Temporary Extreme Risk Protection Order (TERPO) to be an extreme risk. Then you finally get your day in court. How nice. This is just an absolutely unbelievable violation of our civil liberties, and they’re looking to enhance it because it’s another way to grab guns. “Establishing the Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center.” Keep pushing it. This is their gun grab. It’s great. All it takes is any person to make a claim of any sort, ex parte, meaning without you even knowing. Next thing you know, your Second Amendment rights have been taken, and you’re in jeopardy of losing them forever.
Evan Nappen 12:03
Oh, then they like to brag that in the Bipartisan Safer Community Act, “Identifying Stolen Guns.” The Justice Department has published an interim final rule to implement the provision of the BSCA. I love that it’s BS, because it surely is the “BS”CA. That allows a licensed gun dealer to search the records of stolen firearms in the National Crime Information Center to determine whether a firearm the dealer is acquiring is reported stolen. This change will disincentive individuals from stealing guns and make it more difficult to sell stolen guns to pawn shops. Let me just say, folks, just like a blind squirrel finds a nut, I’m totally in favor of dealers being able to identify whether guns are stolen. Because stolen guns are absolutely something that any law-abiding gun owner would oppose. I don’t want my gun stolen. I’m sure you don’t want your gun stolen. We don’t want to market in stolen guns. So, on its face, this is actually one of the only good things found in that bill. Except, guess what? This was supposed to have been implemented already, and it still is not available to dealers. They’ve allowed this to go on and on. They don’t want this database searchable by dealers. They’re playing it out like it’s great, but they don’t
Page – 3 – of 9
want that. For years, they could have done this. They could have made it accessible. No, no. They keep that database there as a trap so that dealers can be charged with unknowingly taking in stolen guns, and individuals can be charged with possessing stolen guns that they didn’t even know were stolen. They don’t want this accessible. They know that this will actually do good and help gun owners, but they don’t want it implemented. I’m still waiting for this database to be available. Haven’t seen it yet. It’d be great. It would actually have impact and make it so that you could tell whether a gun was stolen or not. At least, get an idea if it’s been reported stolen. But nope. They’re bragging about it, but they’re not actually doing it. They don’t actually really want it because it truly is something helpful. God forbid.
Evan Nappen 14:36
Oh, how about this? “Investing in Youth Mental Health.” Do you want to know what that means? Creating mental health disqualifiers as the abusive mental health system takes youths and puts them in mental health facilities on the flimsiest of grounds. So, now you have a mental health commitment that is a disqualifier for guns. It’s treated exactly the same as an adult. If any of you have had a mental health stay as a juvenile because your parents put you in there because you basically weren’t behaving and they didn’t know what to do, you’re now prohibited from guns. You need to get a mental health expungement before you can even possess firearms. That’s right. This is to increase that by who knows how many. To create more disqualified persons. Create gun seizures and create disqualified persons. You see the agenda. It’s called “gun rights oppression”, and they’re damn proud of it.
Evan Nappen 15:37
Then the so-called “Investing in Safer Communities.” That’s to coordinate with communities to increase gun rights oppression. Then they have “Implementing Executive Actions. Promoting Safe Storage of Firearms. That’s right, it’s called lock up your safety. Make sure that your security and protection is not accessible to you when you need it most. Lock them up so you can’t use them. And when they come to seize, they know exactly where they are so they can grab them. Very important. They’re talking about “Publishing Information Regarding Firearms Trafficking.” That’s the propaganda wing of gun rights oppression.
Evan Nappen 16:13
“Stopping the Threat of Undetectable Firearms.” Ooooh, scary ghost guns. Oh, you mean privately manufactured firearms? Something Americans have been doing since before this country was a country. That’s right. What’s the threat of an undetectable firearm? The threat of that undetectable firearm is that the Government doesn’t know about the gun or where it is. Oh, they say, well, you’re going to sneak through a metal detector. No, they can’t. Because the detectors aren’t all about metal, right? They can look and see. So, if you’re actually going through them, metal is almost an irrelevancy in modern technology. No, it’s about more regulation, more oppression and salami tactics across the board of this gun is evil. That gun is bad. This one is intrinsically problematic and selling it to the public. So, they can just take, take, take.
Evan Nappen 17:10
“Preventing Firearms Developed for the Military from Being Sold to the Public.” I’ll read into that, folks. As our gun manufacturers and makers create new and better technology, put a label on it as military, and then not be able to sell it to civilians. So, you can’t get the best optics. You can’t get the most
Page – 4 – of 9
accurate guns. Who knows what? Stop that technology. Make sure that only the elitists in our weaponized Government have the firearms. “Funding Community Violence Interventions.” More funding to help their political cronies get money.
Evan Nappen 17:48
They use all this to forward gun rights oppression, and now they have new executive actions that the Biden-Harris Administration has announced during this entire time. This is more gun rights oppression by executive fiat, without any legislation. Just dictatorship-type tactics, fascist-type tactics. Where it’s just declared. Such as “Declaring Gun Violence a Public Health Crisis.” Why is that significant? Well, if you can tie it to public health, then you can tie it to healthcare. Then they can jam it to folks for the price of healthcare. Using healthcare to have people under “Duty to Warn” tied in to get your guns confiscated. And that’s how they do it. That’s what they do in Jersey. We’re going to talk about that as a GOFU at the end of the show.
Evan Nappen 18:56
“Restricting the Export of Firearms Abroad . . . ” Oh, yes. Please hammer our gun makers so they can’t sell their product. “Disrupting Firearms Trafficking Networks.” And what does that mean? It means creating endless bureaucracy to make the sale of firearms more difficult without accomplishing anything in terms of actual prevention of criminal violence. “Supporting State Efforts to Remove Firearms from Domestic Abusers.” Again, confiscate, confiscate, confiscate.
Evan Nappen 19:29
Remember, she’s the Gun Czar, folks. This is her baby here. Are you going to vote for this person who wants to eviscerate your gun rights? Who is proudly putting out a report now about all the steps they’ve taken to attack and oppress us? “Mobilizing AmeriCorps Sites to Help Make Our Communities Safer.” So, there’s more of that cronyism going on there. “Improving Job Opportunities for Communities Impacted by Gun Violence.” Again, more ways of filtering more money that we don’t have to aid these Democrat strongholds. They want to “Partner with city and states. . . ” Partner to do what? To pass more gun rights oppression. They want to help state legislators advance legislation to combat gun violence. Oh, do you mean to increase gun rights oppression? Yes.
Evan Nappen 20:36
What do they say? Here’s what they’re bragging about, folks. They’re taking credit here saying the following. “In June 2024 we welcomed state leaders back to celebrate their progress, . . .” Celebrate their progress in oppression. “. . . and discuss lessons learned for future legislation.” In other words, when the gun rights folks won, how we can beat them. How dare they want their rights. “Since December 2023, at least 31 states have introduced new legislation to address gun violence.” In other words, to oppress gun rights. “At least 17 states have enacted new legislation . . .” Including lock up your safety in California. Gun dealer accountability law in Washington, sue the gun dealers out of existence. A victim’s compensation law in Maryland. A ghost gun ban, privately made firearm ban in Vermont. Vermont. So-called pro Gun Vermont. In New Hampshire, they call Vermont, their upside down neighbors to the left, and with good reason. A background check expansion in Maine, which, by the way, imposed a waiting period in Maine that never existed. They got a waiting period in Maine. A
Page – 5 – of 9
right delayed is a right denied. A permit to purchase law in Delaware, and they’re bragging about it. This is the Biden-Harris Administration. Harris. Don’t fall for her lies. This is the real Komeela.
Evan Nappen 22:24
They also talk about “Mobilizing Health Systems and Health Care Providers.” Yeah, that “Duty to Warn.” Sick. Go through the mental, go through the medical, go through the providers of any type of medical. There is no more medical privacy, folks. If you talk, you get your guns taken, and that’s law now in Jersey. So, beware. “Mobilizing Artists and Influencers.” They never miss the propaganda effort of getting these progressive left celebrities to back their play to oppress gun rights. It’s even part of this. “Mobilizing Faith Leaders.” That’s right, faith leaders, so called. Those that want their First Amendment rights to freedom of religion, but don’t want our Second Amendment rights to defend ourselves and our family. “Mobilizing Educators.” Meaning propagandizing through the public schools about how terrible our gun rights are and how to brainwash to continue the oppression.

Evan Nappen 23:57
Hey, folks, I have some important news about WeShoot. You know, my favorite range in Lakewood, New Jersey. They’re running a 15% off on all pre-loved guns, what you might call used guns.

So, check out WeShoot at weshootusa.com. That’s their website. weshootusa.com Make sure you catch that great sale on pre- loved guns.
Evan Nappen 25:41
I also, of course, want to shamelessly plug my book, which is New Jersey Gun Law, the Bible of New Jersey gun law. It’s over 500 pages with 120 topics all in a question and answer format.

Evan Nappen 28:12
So, here’s something that is very interesting to me, and I think you’ll find it interesting. One of the great news sites that I look at every day, and I look at dozens of them regarding firearms. One of my favorites is AmmoLand. I love AmmoLand, and they had an article that I want to bring to your attention. This is posted and a major, major issue here being revealed. The title of the article is “China’s New Export Restriction Choke Hold on Critical U.S. Ammunition Components. Are you prepared?” (https://www.ammoland.com/2024/09/chinas-export-choke-hold-critical-u-s-ammunition-components- are-you-prepared/)
Evan Nappen 28:59
This article is very interesting because it revealed to me certain things that I had no clue about. Let me just read you a little snippet from the article, which you can find on AmmoLand. It says, the recent decision by China to halt the export of two critical components, nitrocellulose and antimony, has raised alarms in the U.S. ammunition manufacturing industry and among defense experts. This is really critical, folks, because we’re in the middle of wars all over the world since the senile sock puppet became president. You know, his philosophy is war through weakness, and that’s what we’ve been experiencing. So, with all these conflicts and tensions and we get to the brink of World War III, there’s huge demand, and what we’re seeing is inadequate ammunition supplies for both military and civilian markets.
Evan Nappen 30:05
Here’s a fact right out of this article that’s really amazing. China accounts for nearly half of global production and supplies, 63% of U.S. antimony imports. Antimony plays a vital role for making armor- piercing ammo, night vision goggles, precision optics and for hardening bullets. Okay, it’s important for all that. Nitrocellulose, which is a gun cotton, is absolutely essential for making propellant powder that’s used in our ammo. Without these core materials, we are extremely vulnerable in our ammunition supply. Just last August, China announced they’ll discontinue the export of these materials to the U.S. That is really scary and bad news. Remember, antimony is used in the hardening of lead bullets. It’s pretty basic for what we do, folks.
Page – 7 – of 9
Evan Nappen 31:28
And nitrocellulose is really critical, even though it’s apparently simple enough to make. But the plant in China exploded in May 2024 and that affected supply. There are only a few companies that are able to safely make the stuff you see. So, it’s going to have a huge impact on us. Many, many places are now reporting that there’s shortages on components and powder and that it’s dwindling. They can’t meet the demand. Let me just read you here a quote from John Farnham, who’s one of the industry experts. He’s giving an important warning about supply chains. Farnham says, “Right now, most components are reasonably available, but that will begin to change soon! Two weeks ago, the CCP precipitously announced that it was discontinuing the export to the USA of nitrocellulose and antimony. These two products are indispensable in the production of propellant powders and primers. There are other, lesser sources, but CCP has always been the main supplier. I predict significant commercial ammunition shortages, starting shortly!” So, folks, you have heard the message, and you better stock up. Stock up while you can. We’re going to be hitting another ammo drought. Another ammo drought when we need ammo more than ever. Keep that in mind.
Evan Nappen 33:16
I have a letter here, which I love, an Ask Evan letter, which is from Luis, regarding paying for my son’s gun purchase. Hi, Evan. I’ve been listening to your podcast since your first podcast in 2020. Wow. It’s been that long. It’s true. I have both your books, and I love them. Well, thank you. But one question I don’t see the answer is, can I pay for my son’s firearm purchase with my credit card? Thank you for all you do for firearm owners in the communist state of New Jersey.
Evan Nappen 33:48
Okay, let me just say that it is not a good idea at all. Individuals have been prosecuted when you buy a gun for another person, and by using your credit card, it appears that you are making that purchase. Now it gets a little tricky. Because you are able to buy a gift that’s a bona fide gift, but you cannot buy for somebody else and then give them the gun, if it’s not a gift. Where they’re giving you the money or they’re reimbursing you, or that kind of thing. Because that ends up being a straw sale, and ATF has enforced this. There’s a famous case that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, where a guy bought a gun through his law enforcement discount for his father. He bought it and then sent it to the dealer. The dealer did a transfer to the father, and he was prosecuted for that being a straw sale. Even though it went through a dealer to the father. It didn’t matter. The Court upheld it, folks. It’s precarious. So, I would not advise paying for anyone else’s firearm because you don’t want to have that issue. I know it sounds ridiculous, but you know how it goes. These gun laws are ridiculous, and they’re enforced to ridiculous absurdities. I don’t want to see you become a GOFU, but that’s not today’s official GOFU.
Evan Nappen 35:28
Today’s official GOFU is a little trick, a sneaky trick, that I’ve been seeing done by the authorities, by the Government. If an individual is engaged in an act of self-defense, a legitimate act of self- defense, but you know how when you engage in self-defense, often you get criminally charged? I mean, that shouldn’t surprise anybody. What we’re seeing is, and I have actual cases on this. An individual who exercised self-defense, the government brings a red flag TERPO, you know, like the gun rights oppressors keep pushing that New Jersey has. They bring that TERPO (Temporary Extreme Risk
Page – 8 – of 9
Protection Order) first, and there’s no criminal charges yet. They use that as the excuse to speak to the person who they’re serving the TERPO. So, it becomes a tool of their investigation.
Evan Nappen 36:33
By speaking in the TERPO, where you think you can’t believe that this is being filed, and you’re making more and more statements, those statements end up being used in an escalation in your criminal charges to try to undercut your claim of self-defense. It’s a dirty trick, and it’s used in this manner. You need to beware of any time you have someone from the Government wanting to talk to you, whether it’s a TERPO, Temporary Extreme Risk Protection Order or Duty to Warn where a health professional called the police on you because you happen to say that you were so mad at somebody you could kill them, or you had such a bad day, you could kill yourself. Even though it was hyperbole, and you never meant to do any of those. It doesn’t matter. It’s like making a bomb joke at the airport.
Evan Nappen 37:27
If you have any encounter with law enforcement where they want to talk to you about anything, you need to say, talk to my lawyer. You need to put that lawyer between you and the Government every time. It’s your Sixth Amendment right to counsel, folks. And the TERPPO is used as a tool, actual cases on this now, being used as a tool to escalate into criminal charges and to use as a vehicle to gain questions and interrogation tactics against law-abiding gun owners simply exercising self-defense. So, keep that in mind. Remember, gun laws don’t protect honest citizens from criminals. They protect criminals from honest citizens.

SPEAKERS
Speaker 3, Evan Nappen
Evan Nappen 00:16
I’m Evan Nappen, and welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, the White House, the Biden-Harris Administration, just released their one year progress report that they euphemistically call the “Office of Gun Violence Prevention (OGVP)”. (https://www.ammoland.com/2024/09/white-house-releases-gun-violence- prevention-office-progress-report/) But in reality, it’s the Office of Gun Rights Suppression, because that’s what they do. They work on suppressing and oppressing our gun rights.

So, this Office of gun Rights Oppression has released a report detailing all the wonderful work they’ve done in oppressing our gun rights, and I want to review this report with you. You can access it online. (https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Year-One-Report-Final.pdf) It comes from the White House. Interestingly, the report throughout it refers to the report as the “Biden-Harris Administration”. So, it’s not President Biden. It’s the Biden-Harris Administration, by the White House’s own words. The key to remember here, folks, as gun owners, is that Vice President Harris was placed in charge of and oversaw the so-called “White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention”, which we’re going to call the “White House Office of Gun Rights Oppression. She’s the Head and Chief Oppressor.
Evan Nappen 02:11
Now, you better realize that this election is just that critical. We have a bona fide gun rights oppressor working toward incredible amounts of gun rights oppression that is proudly putting out a report of gun rights oppression. And you need to know what’s in this that they are bragging about, my friends, bragging about. It’s disgusting. If any of my listeners, I can’t imagine that you actually would fall for the lies from Komeela about her being “a gun owner”. That doesn’t mean anything. Some of the worst persons in history of the world, since there were firearms, were “gun owners”, and they were some of the most deadly of gun rights oppressors. So, being a gun owner doesn’t count for anything. What matters is what you’ve actually done.
Evan Nappen 03:24
Here we have a Biden-Harris administration bragging about gun rights oppression, putting it in their propaganda term of “gun violence prevention”. Of course, it’s gun violence, right? And so, what do they do here? They lay out their accomplishments and their roadmap to destroy our Second Amendment rights. You would think that our leaders, that those that have taken an oath to uphold the Constitution,
Page – 1 – of 9
would instead create a White House Office of Gun Rights Protection, expanding and protecting our cherished Constitutional rights. But no, no. This is about oppressing our rights.
Evan Nappen 04:22
Let’s take a look and take a dive into their report, the Biden-Harris record of gun violence prevention. So, that’s what they’re giving a background in. And of course, the translation is the Biden-Harris record of gun rights oppression, and what do they brag about? Well, this Office is dedicated to coordinating across Federal government and partnering with gun violence survivors, law enforcement, state and local officials, and community leaders with the shared goal of reducing gun violence. Or, in the alternative, increasing gun rights oppression.
Evan Nappen 05:06
So, how do they do this? Well, they start off with a big block quote framed in a black frame of Komeela, saying the following, and please don’t be fooled by anything she says to make you think that your gun rights are safe for you to vote for her or any Democrat for that matter. Here’s what she said, “President Biden and I have worked to address the epidemic of gun violence with the urgency it demands by enacting the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act . . .”, which was hardly bipartisan. You got a handful of Republican RINOs (Republican in Name Only) joining in. That’s it. They call it “Bipartisan”. Good grief. ” . . . – the most significant gun safety law . . .”. More of their garbage. It has nothing to do with “safety”. “. . . in nearly 30 years – and launching the first-ever White House Office of Gun” Rights Oppression. “In the year since President Biden asked me to oversee this office, our Administration has improved and expanded background checks, announced the single largest investment in youth mental health in history, and been an unprecedented resource to state, cities and local communities. We have also supported, convened, and worked alongside gun violence survivors, the families of those who have lost loved ones to shootings . . .” Oh, to shootings, not to crime, but just shootings. “. . . and other impacted individuals to tackle the trauma caused by gun violence.” Code speak gun violence. “I am committed to continuing this urgent work to ensure that every person in our nation has the freedom to live safe from gun violence.”
Evan Nappen 07:16
So, let’s take another look at that last line, folks. “I am committed to continuing this urgent work to ensure that every person in our nation has the freedom . . .” Do you believe this? The freedom. Their version of freedom is gun rights oppression. It’s taking away liberty, taking away rights. Only the twisted mind of a Democrat and of these progressive oppressors would twist it to their supporting freedom. What a joke. So, what’s the brags? Oh, here they go. “Expediting the Implementation of the Bipartisan Safer Community Act and Executive Actions to Address Gun Violence.” (BSCA) Oh, do you mean Executive Actions without the backing of the Legislature to oppress gun rights?
Evan Nappen 08:10
Well, what are they bragging about? Number one, “Expanding gun background checks and making clear that the gun show loophole does not exist.” Isn’t that weird wording? Like, that’s just weird. The gun show loophole doesn’t exist. But they’re making clear the gun show loophole doesn’t exist. Well, if the gun show loophole doesn’t exist, which we said it didn’t exist, why are you passing this to shut the gun law loophole? Now don’t expect an explanation. But they’re bragging about finalizing the rule by
Page – 2 – of 9
making it clear about the circumstances in which a person is engaging in the business, which is far from making anything clear. That freaking rule, that rule essentially makes it that anybody who sells a gun for profit can be deemed a dealer. Period! Period. They got rid of “for livelihood” in the definition, because those dumbass RINOs went along with it, and they’re using it to claim that anybody who wants to sell a gun for a profit at all. As a matter of fact, you don’t have to sell it for a profit. That’s how broad it is. You can be prosecuted for being an unlicensed dealer. So, this mechanism is in place, folks.
Evan Nappen 09:28
“Enhancing Gun Background Checks for Individuals Under Age 21.” What did they do? They’ve created a waiting period, a delay period. Even though you’re an adult. You can be drafted. They impose the draft. You can die for your country at 18, but you’re going to have to wait even longer and go through an extended background check if you’re under 21. Enforcing gun trafficking straw purchasing laws. As they contrive these offenses all the time against law-abiding citizens, where they create the crime for the person. “Keeping Guns Out of the Hands of Abusive Dating Partners.” So, you always want to see that expansion under that domestic violence federal definition, because that is one of the ways of gun grabbing. They have to find every mechanism to disenfranchise us, and this has been just a beauty for them. So, the more you can expand the ability to seize under a banner of domestic violence. You’ve seen that go nuts in Jersey all the time. I get those cases every week, all the time. It’s a never-ending flow. What you see is an abuse of the system, and I’ve talked about that on the show before.
Evan Nappen 10:57
Oh, and how about this one. “Implementing State Red Flag Laws.” Red flag! Red flag. Take guns without due process. That’s what New Jersey does. Their red flag has no due process until after. Until after your home’s been raided, your guns have been seized and you’ve been declared, under a Temporary Extreme Risk Protection Order (TERPO) to be an extreme risk. Then you finally get your day in court. How nice. This is just an absolutely unbelievable violation of our civil liberties, and they’re looking to enhance it because it’s another way to grab guns. “Establishing the Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center.” Keep pushing it. This is their gun grab. It’s great. All it takes is any person to make a claim of any sort, ex parte, meaning without you even knowing. Next thing you know, your Second Amendment rights have been taken, and you’re in jeopardy of losing them forever.
Evan Nappen 12:03
Oh, then they like to brag that in the Bipartisan Safer Community Act, “Identifying Stolen Guns.” The Justice Department has published an interim final rule to implement the provision of the BSCA. I love that it’s BS, because it surely is the “BS”CA. That allows a licensed gun dealer to search the records of stolen firearms in the National Crime Information Center to determine whether a firearm the dealer is acquiring is reported stolen. This change will disincentive individuals from stealing guns and make it more difficult to sell stolen guns to pawn shops. Let me just say, folks, just like a blind squirrel finds a nut, I’m totally in favor of dealers being able to identify whether guns are stolen. Because stolen guns are absolutely something that any law-abiding gun owner would oppose. I don’t want my gun stolen. I’m sure you don’t want your gun stolen. We don’t want to market in stolen guns. So, on its face, this is actually one of the only good things found in that bill. Except, guess what? This was supposed to have been implemented already, and it still is not available to dealers. They’ve allowed this to go on and on. They don’t want this database searchable by dealers. They’re playing it out like it’s great, but they don’t
Page – 3 – of 9
want that. For years, they could have done this. They could have made it accessible. No, no. They keep that database there as a trap so that dealers can be charged with unknowingly taking in stolen guns, and individuals can be charged with possessing stolen guns that they didn’t even know were stolen. They don’t want this accessible. They know that this will actually do good and help gun owners, but they don’t want it implemented. I’m still waiting for this database to be available. Haven’t seen it yet. It’d be great. It would actually have impact and make it so that you could tell whether a gun was stolen or not. At least, get an idea if it’s been reported stolen. But nope. They’re bragging about it, but they’re not actually doing it. They don’t actually really want it because it truly is something helpful. God forbid.
Evan Nappen 14:36
Oh, how about this? “Investing in Youth Mental Health.” Do you want to know what that means? Creating mental health disqualifiers as the abusive mental health system takes youths and puts them in mental health facilities on the flimsiest of grounds. So, now you have a mental health commitment that is a disqualifier for guns. It’s treated exactly the same as an adult. If any of you have had a mental health stay as a juvenile because your parents put you in there because you basically weren’t behaving and they didn’t know what to do, you’re now prohibited from guns. You need to get a mental health expungement before you can even possess firearms. That’s right. This is to increase that by who knows how many. To create more disqualified persons. Create gun seizures and create disqualified persons. You see the agenda. It’s called “gun rights oppression”, and they’re damn proud of it.
Evan Nappen 15:37
Then the so-called “Investing in Safer Communities.” That’s to coordinate with communities to increase gun rights oppression. Then they have “Implementing Executive Actions. Promoting Safe Storage of Firearms. That’s right, it’s called lock up your safety. Make sure that your security and protection is not accessible to you when you need it most. Lock them up so you can’t use them. And when they come to seize, they know exactly where they are so they can grab them. Very important. They’re talking about “Publishing Information Regarding Firearms Trafficking.” That’s the propaganda wing of gun rights oppression.
Evan Nappen 16:13
“Stopping the Threat of Undetectable Firearms.” Ooooh, scary ghost guns. Oh, you mean privately manufactured firearms? Something Americans have been doing since before this country was a country. That’s right. What’s the threat of an undetectable firearm? The threat of that undetectable firearm is that the Government doesn’t know about the gun or where it is. Oh, they say, well, you’re going to sneak through a metal detector. No, they can’t. Because the detectors aren’t all about metal, right? They can look and see. So, if you’re actually going through them, metal is almost an irrelevancy in modern technology. No, it’s about more regulation, more oppression and salami tactics across the board of this gun is evil. That gun is bad. This one is intrinsically problematic and selling it to the public. So, they can just take, take, take.
Evan Nappen 17:10
“Preventing Firearms Developed for the Military from Being Sold to the Public.” I’ll read into that, folks. As our gun manufacturers and makers create new and better technology, put a label on it as military, and then not be able to sell it to civilians. So, you can’t get the best optics. You can’t get the most
Page – 4 – of 9
accurate guns. Who knows what? Stop that technology. Make sure that only the elitists in our weaponized Government have the firearms. “Funding Community Violence Interventions.” More funding to help their political cronies get money.
Evan Nappen 17:48
They use all this to forward gun rights oppression, and now they have new executive actions that the Biden-Harris Administration has announced during this entire time. This is more gun rights oppression by executive fiat, without any legislation. Just dictatorship-type tactics, fascist-type tactics. Where it’s just declared. Such as “Declaring Gun Violence a Public Health Crisis.” Why is that significant? Well, if you can tie it to public health, then you can tie it to healthcare. Then they can jam it to folks for the price of healthcare. Using healthcare to have people under “Duty to Warn” tied in to get your guns confiscated. And that’s how they do it. That’s what they do in Jersey. We’re going to talk about that as a GOFU at the end of the show.
Evan Nappen 18:56
“Restricting the Export of Firearms Abroad . . . ” Oh, yes. Please hammer our gun makers so they can’t sell their product. “Disrupting Firearms Trafficking Networks.” And what does that mean? It means creating endless bureaucracy to make the sale of firearms more difficult without accomplishing anything in terms of actual prevention of criminal violence. “Supporting State Efforts to Remove Firearms from Domestic Abusers.” Again, confiscate, confiscate, confiscate.
Evan Nappen 19:29
Remember, she’s the Gun Czar, folks. This is her baby here. Are you going to vote for this person who wants to eviscerate your gun rights? Who is proudly putting out a report now about all the steps they’ve taken to attack and oppress us? “Mobilizing AmeriCorps Sites to Help Make Our Communities Safer.” So, there’s more of that cronyism going on there. “Improving Job Opportunities for Communities Impacted by Gun Violence.” Again, more ways of filtering more money that we don’t have to aid these Democrat strongholds. They want to “Partner with city and states. . . ” Partner to do what? To pass more gun rights oppression. They want to help state legislators advance legislation to combat gun violence. Oh, do you mean to increase gun rights oppression? Yes.
Evan Nappen 20:36
What do they say? Here’s what they’re bragging about, folks. They’re taking credit here saying the following. “In June 2024 we welcomed state leaders back to celebrate their progress, . . .” Celebrate their progress in oppression. “. . . and discuss lessons learned for future legislation.” In other words, when the gun rights folks won, how we can beat them. How dare they want their rights. “Since December 2023, at least 31 states have introduced new legislation to address gun violence.” In other words, to oppress gun rights. “At least 17 states have enacted new legislation . . .” Including lock up your safety in California. Gun dealer accountability law in Washington, sue the gun dealers out of existence. A victim’s compensation law in Maryland. A ghost gun ban, privately made firearm ban in Vermont. Vermont. So-called pro Gun Vermont. In New Hampshire, they call Vermont, their upside down neighbors to the left, and with good reason. A background check expansion in Maine, which, by the way, imposed a waiting period in Maine that never existed. They got a waiting period in Maine. A
Page – 5 – of 9
right delayed is a right denied. A permit to purchase law in Delaware, and they’re bragging about it. This is the Biden-Harris Administration. Harris. Don’t fall for her lies. This is the real Komeela.
Evan Nappen 22:24
They also talk about “Mobilizing Health Systems and Health Care Providers.” Yeah, that “Duty to Warn.” Sick. Go through the mental, go through the medical, go through the providers of any type of medical. There is no more medical privacy, folks. If you talk, you get your guns taken, and that’s law now in Jersey. So, beware. “Mobilizing Artists and Influencers.” They never miss the propaganda effort of getting these progressive left celebrities to back their play to oppress gun rights. It’s even part of this. “Mobilizing Faith Leaders.” That’s right, faith leaders, so called. Those that want their First Amendment rights to freedom of religion, but don’t want our Second Amendment rights to defend ourselves and our family. “Mobilizing Educators.” Meaning propagandizing through the public schools about how terrible our gun rights are and how to brainwash to continue the oppression.

Evan Nappen 28:12
So, here’s something that is very interesting to me, and I think you’ll find it interesting. One of the great news sites that I look at every day, and I look at dozens of them regarding firearms. One of my favorites is AmmoLand. I love AmmoLand, and they had an article that I want to bring to your attention. This is posted and a major, major issue here being revealed. The title of the article is “China’s New Export Restriction Choke Hold on Critical U.S. Ammunition Components. Are you prepared?” (https://www.ammoland.com/2024/09/chinas-export-choke-hold-critical-u-s-ammunition-components- are-you-prepared/)
Evan Nappen 28:59
This article is very interesting because it revealed to me certain things that I had no clue about. Let me just read you a little snippet from the article, which you can find on AmmoLand. It says, the recent decision by China to halt the export of two critical components, nitrocellulose and antimony, has raised alarms in the U.S. ammunition manufacturing industry and among defense experts. This is really critical, folks, because we’re in the middle of wars all over the world since the senile sock puppet became president. You know, his philosophy is war through weakness, and that’s what we’ve been experiencing. So, with all these conflicts and tensions and we get to the brink of World War III, there’s huge demand, and what we’re seeing is inadequate ammunition supplies for both military and civilian markets.
Evan Nappen 30:05
Here’s a fact right out of this article that’s really amazing. China accounts for nearly half of global production and supplies, 63% of U.S. antimony imports. Antimony plays a vital role for making armor- piercing ammo, night vision goggles, precision optics and for hardening bullets. Okay, it’s important for all that. Nitrocellulose, which is a gun cotton, is absolutely essential for making propellant powder that’s used in our ammo. Without these core materials, we are extremely vulnerable in our ammunition supply. Just last August, China announced they’ll discontinue the export of these materials to the U.S. That is really scary and bad news. Remember, antimony is used in the hardening of lead bullets. It’s pretty basic for what we do, folks.
Page – 7 – of 9
Evan Nappen 31:28
And nitrocellulose is really critical, even though it’s apparently simple enough to make. But the plant in China exploded in May 2024 and that affected supply. There are only a few companies that are able to safely make the stuff you see. So, it’s going to have a huge impact on us. Many, many places are now reporting that there’s shortages on components and powder and that it’s dwindling. They can’t meet the demand. Let me just read you here a quote from John Farnham, who’s one of the industry experts. He’s giving an important warning about supply chains. Farnham says, “Right now, most components are reasonably available, but that will begin to change soon! Two weeks ago, the CCP precipitously announced that it was discontinuing the export to the USA of nitrocellulose and antimony. These two products are indispensable in the production of propellant powders and primers. There are other, lesser sources, but CCP has always been the main supplier. I predict significant commercial ammunition shortages, starting shortly!” So, folks, you have heard the message, and you better stock up. Stock up while you can. We’re going to be hitting another ammo drought. Another ammo drought when we need ammo more than ever. Keep that in mind.
Evan Nappen 33:16
I have a letter here, which I love, an Ask Evan letter, which is from Luis, regarding paying for my son’s gun purchase. Hi, Evan. I’ve been listening to your podcast since your first podcast in 2020. Wow. It’s been that long. It’s true. I have both your books, and I love them. Well, thank you. But one question I don’t see the answer is, can I pay for my son’s firearm purchase with my credit card? Thank you for all you do for firearm owners in the communist state of New Jersey.
Evan Nappen 33:48
Okay, let me just say that it is not a good idea at all. Individuals have been prosecuted when you buy a gun for another person, and by using your credit card, it appears that you are making that purchase. Now it gets a little tricky. Because you are able to buy a gift that’s a bona fide gift, but you cannot buy for somebody else and then give them the gun, if it’s not a gift. Where they’re giving you the money or they’re reimbursing you, or that kind of thing. Because that ends up being a straw sale, and ATF has enforced this. There’s a famous case that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, where a guy bought a gun through his law enforcement discount for his father. He bought it and then sent it to the dealer. The dealer did a transfer to the father, and he was prosecuted for that being a straw sale. Even though it went through a dealer to the father. It didn’t matter. The Court upheld it, folks. It’s precarious. So, I would not advise paying for anyone else’s firearm because you don’t want to have that issue. I know it sounds ridiculous, but you know how it goes. These gun laws are ridiculous, and they’re enforced to ridiculous absurdities. I don’t want to see you become a GOFU, but that’s not today’s official GOFU.
Evan Nappen 35:28
Today’s official GOFU is a little trick, a sneaky trick, that I’ve been seeing done by the authorities, by the Government. If an individual is engaged in an act of self-defense, a legitimate act of self- defense, but you know how when you engage in self-defense, often you get criminally charged? I mean, that shouldn’t surprise anybody. What we’re seeing is, and I have actual cases on this. An individual who exercised self-defense, the government brings a red flag TERPO, you know, like the gun rights oppressors keep pushing that New Jersey has. They bring that TERPO (Temporary Extreme Risk
Page – 8 – of 9
Protection Order) first, and there’s no criminal charges yet. They use that as the excuse to speak to the person who they’re serving the TERPO. So, it becomes a tool of their investigation.
Evan Nappen 36:33
By speaking in the TERPO, where you think you can’t believe that this is being filed, and you’re making more and more statements, those statements end up being used in an escalation in your criminal charges to try to undercut your claim of self-defense. It’s a dirty trick, and it’s used in this manner. You need to beware of any time you have someone from the Government wanting to talk to you, whether it’s a TERPO, Temporary Extreme Risk Protection Order or Duty to Warn where a health professional called the police on you because you happen to say that you were so mad at somebody you could kill them, or you had such a bad day, you could kill yourself. Even though it was hyperbole, and you never meant to do any of those. It doesn’t matter. It’s like making a bomb joke at the airport.
Evan Nappen 37:27
If you have any encounter with law enforcement where they want to talk to you about anything, you need to say, talk to my lawyer. You need to put that lawyer between you and the Government every time. It’s your Sixth Amendment right to counsel, folks. And the TERPPO is used as a tool, actual cases on this now, being used as a tool to escalate into criminal charges and to use as a vehicle to gain questions and interrogation tactics against law-abiding gun owners simply exercising self-defense. So, keep that in mind. Remember, gun laws don’t protect honest citizens from criminals. They protect criminals from honest citizens.
