This shotgun episode of the RSL podcast is a must-listen for anyone following the Colorado gubernatorial election. A Republican activist has come forward with allegations of campaign finance irregularities against Victor Marx, one of the top contenders for the Republican nomination. More than this, one of the most credible and respected investigative reporters in Colorado media - Shaun Boyd of CBS Colorado 4 - is now reporting on the matter and confirming the problematic findings. The activist, Darcy Schoening, claims that Marx's campaign has accepted over $100,000 in donations that exceed the legal limit, and that many of these donations are from fake or straw donors. Or even dead ones.

The conversation delves into the details of Marx's campaign finance reports, which show a staggering amount of money being spent on administrative costs, consultants, and fundraising efforts. Ryan also points out, following the CBS 4 piece, that Marx's campaign has a history of making excuses and blaming others for their mistakes, from a disastrous fundraising file upload to a mailer erroneously referring to Victor as a 'retired' Marine. Ryan questions whether Marx's focus on fundraising is truly about winning the election, or if it's just about lining his own pockets.

The discussion also touches on the topic of Marx's personality and behavior, with Ryan describing him as having a "pathological, narcissistic, sociopathic" approach to politics. This is evident in his tendency to turn conversations around to focus on himself, as well as his history of making outlandish claims and the aforementioned tried and true blaming others for his mistakes.

This week on our 2A Tuesday edition of RSL with Alicia and Ryan, we're talking about a bill that's got gun shop owners in Colorado on high alert. House Bill 26-1126, also known as HB 26-1126, has been making waves in the firearms community, and our guest, Josiah Nierman, owner of Salida Gun Shop, is here to break it down for us. As a firearms dealer, Josiah has seen firsthand the impact this bill could have on his business and the community he serves.

The bill, which aims to regulate firearms dealers, has some gun shop owners feeling like they're being unfairly targeted. Josiah explains that the bill would require dealers to maintain duplicate records, which could lead to fines and penalties for even the smallest mistakes. He's not alone in his concerns, as many gun shop owners are worried about the added costs and bureaucratic red tape this bill would bring.

But it's not just about the paperwork – it's about the principle. Josiah and his team are fighting against what they see as an overreach of government power. They believe the bill is an attempt to disarm the community, rather than a genuine effort to keep people safe. As Josiah puts it, "This is a disarmament agenda. It's intended to have a chilling effect on our customers."

If you're concerned about your Second Amendment rights, you won't want to miss this episode. Josiah shares his insights on the bill and what it means for gun shop owners like him. He also talks about the importance of community support and how you can get involved in the fight for your rights. So tune in to hear the full conversation and learn how you can make a difference.
