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!
