Summary
Sami Safi, Afghan translator for the U.S. military, shares the story of his brother, who served alongside U.S. forces in Afghanistan, but faced hardships in coming to America and is currently in jail despite his service. He says the government has not helped, and that "they have no reason to treat him this way," and that if this is how the government treats American allies, "no one outside of America will trust the American government or our mission." On 'Just the News, No Noise," John Solomon and Amanda Head talk to Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President of Gun Owners of America, about the latest on gun control and constitutional carry.
