Anti-gunners love to say, "We don't want to take your guns — we just want common-sense laws." This week, the crew breaks down why that's one of the most dangerous and misleading political lies ever told. From Obama-era doublespeak to decades of incremental bans, they show how every "reasonable restriction" adds up to the same goal: total civilian disarmament — just slower.

Learn how California's roster, magazine limits, and "assault weapon" bans prove the strategy: chip away until nothing's left.

The U.S. Supreme Court just agreed to hear the Wolford v. Hawaii case — and at the center of it is San Diego attorney Alan Beck.

When Charlie Kirk was assassinated, millions were shocked—but few are talking about what it really means for free speech, political violence, and the Second Amendment. Breitbart journalist AWR Hawkins joins us to break down the truth behind this attack, how celebrity rhetoric from voices like Mark Ruffalo and Rainn Wilson fuels division, and why this tragedy marks a turning point for America.

Also in this episode:

• Why Women Choose to Carry: Inspired by Robin Sandoval of A Girl & A Gun, this week's truth highlights the growing number of women arming for self-defense and the real-life stats behind the movement.

• California Sheriffs Ban Red Dots & Weapon Lights: Contra Costa and Alameda Counties outlaw optics and lights on CCW pistols—an arbitrary "policy not up for debate" that spotlights local overreach and fuels calls for grassroots 2A action.

• Women Driving the CCW Surge: With 1 in 4 women facing domestic violence, groups like A Girl & A Gun and Not Me California are empowering new shooters through mentorship, training, and affordable self-defense resources.

• DOJ Declares 2A a Civil Right: Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon leads a landmark challenge to Illinois' "assault-weapon" ban, signaling a federal shift toward defending Second Amendment freedoms as fundamental civil rights.

• Federal Overreach: Post Office Gun Ban Debate: The team breaks down the controversial ban on firearms in U.S. post offices, exploring its constitutional flaws and the real-world risks it creates for law-abiding gun owners.

• AB 1127 was revived only after cops got carve-outs, but San Diego County Gun Owners (SDCGO) mobilized fast and shut down local political support — specifically from Vista officials — proving that grassroots 2A advocacy can stop momentum dead.

• Deployment - It's SDCGO's 10th Birthday! Come to the SDCGO Birthday party, volunteer at a table top or shooting social, & get training!

"The enemy isn't just the killer — it's the clock."

Firearms instructor and legal expert Massad Ayoob breaks down the truth about school shootings, gun laws, and the fight for civil rights in America. Listen to why the first 30 seconds determine who lives or dies — and how the Israeli model of armed, trained school staff can stop mass killers before police even arrive.

Massad and Michael also touch on: • The emotional weapon the gun-control lobby uses — and why pro-2A advocates must fight with both facts and feelings. • The racist roots of gun control — from post-Civil War "may issue" laws to modern "sensitive area" bans. • Why 29 states now recognize constitutional carry, and how the patchwork of gun laws puts honest citizens at risk. • The truth about 18- to 20-year-olds and AR-15 bans — and what America's best marksmen can teach us. • The difference between opponents and enemies, and the 80/10/10 rule every activist needs to know. • Why National Reciprocity and Stand Your Ground protections are essential for real freedom.

💡 Plus: Mas shares stories from his decades of experience with legends like Jeff Cooper, Ray Chapman, Bill Wilson, and Alan Gottlieb, and reveals how America became — and must remain — a nation of riflemen.

In this episode of Gun Owners Radio, we confront one of the most sobering events in recent history: the assassination of Charlie Kirk. We examine the environment that led to his death, why political violence is escalating, and how rhetoric from the left and mainstream media has normalized it.

We also look at Charlie Kirk's legacy—how he built a movement from nothing, gave conservative students a voice on hostile campuses, and left a lasting impact on American political discourse.

🔹 What you'll hear in this episode:

• The media's role in fostering a culture of political violence

• Why the assassination of Charlie Kirk is a historic moment

• Polls and data showing attitudes toward political violence on the left vs. right

• How Charlie Kirk's leadership and approach shaped a generation of young conservatives

• What his legacy means for the future of free speech and debate in America

This is not just about one man—it's about the direction of our country and whether we can still disagree without violence.
