Summary

Are guns the problem? According to gun control advocates they are…over and over, we hear that “it's the guns,” followed by a series of arguments or statements that suggest that the real problem is that we just do not understand how the 2nd amendment was supposed to be interpreted and with the help of progressives, we would not only understand what the founders were really trying to say but ultimately have a safer world….so on today's episode, we are going to analyze this and provide you with the answers you need to some of the most common statements and accusations coming from the Left.

0:00.0	So are guns the problem? I mean, because every time I go on Twitter, every time that there is a shooting that takes place, I'm constantly told by those who would advocate for more gun control, that guns are in fact the problem. That's the only issue here. If only we would have common sense gun control, if we would ban certain guns, if only we would ban certain sites of magazines, this would go away.
0:26.2	And the second thing I usually hear for them is that the arguments that those of us who make that defend private gun ownership, relying on the Second Amendment, or here in Virginia
0:32.1	Article 1, Section 13 of the Virginia Constitution, what we're constantly told is that we
0:35.6	misunderstand what the founders actually intended and that we're only cherry-picking the language that we want out of the Virginia Constitution. What we're constantly told is that we misunderstand what the founders actually intended and that we're only cherry picking the language that we want out of the Second
0:42.0	Amendment in order to justify our owning of weapons of war. So what we're going to go on today
0:48.4	is we're going to analyze some of these claims. We're going to ask the question, do we misunderstand
0:51.5	what the Second Amendment actually says and what the intent is? Do we not fully appreciate the safety that we could all realize
0:59.0	if only we banned or, say, heavily restricted access to firearms? And then finally, we're going
1:04.7	to go through some of the most common arguments that are used point by point, the things you see
1:09.2	on Twitter, the things you see all over social media, the things you see all over the news. And we're going to analyze each one of
1:13.9	these accusations. And we're going to determine if there's any merit or not. So that is what we're
1:18.3	going to do today on making the argument powered by Good Ranchers. After Tuesday's episode,
1:22.2	there was a great conversation started about the front zone. And I'm certain today that we'll also have a great
1:27.5	conversation in our community chat about today's episode two. So if you haven't already signed up,
1:31.8	go down to the link in the description, join our community chat. We're going to have a great
1:35.0	conversation there. And we'd love to get to know you. All right. As always, I am your host,
1:38.5	Nick Freitas, member of the Virginia House of Delegates, but other than that, a reasonably good person. Also with us today, my beautiful bride, Tina Queen of the Bees.
1:45.9	Hello, everyone.
1:47.3	And Christian, Hamilton.
1:50.5	Hamilton had me muted.
1:51.7	He doesn't want you all to hear from me today.
1:53.6	Wow.
