Here's the deal. We got to set ourselves up. See, retirement is the long game. We got to make moves and make them early. Set up goals. Don't worry about a setback. Just save up and stack up to reach them. Let's put ourselves in the right position. Pregame to greater things.

Start building your retirement plan at this ispre-tirement.org, brought to you by AARP and the

It's interesting what you find when you go back in history.

How about a report that says that originally people wanted to outlaw pump shotguns 150 years ago,

and California actually banned the use of them for hunting because they were unsporting?

Does that sound like anything you're hearing these days?

Having some fun.

We had a representative, last hour had a representative from the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, formerly known as the Coalition to Ban Handguns. That was kind of interesting. I'm not sure that he listened much, but he sure did say a lot of things. It didn't make any sense. But if you want to check that out, just go to the podcast in two or three hours. We'll have it up. Just go to Gun Talk.com. You can find it there. And we are currently talking with Laverne, who's called us out of Spokane, Washington. Laverne, you're still there? Yes. Okay. Now, you said that you are a wannabe gun owner. Talk to me about that. Yeah, I'm a member of the gun owners of America.

Uh-huh.

And that's as far as it's gone.

You know, being retired, it just to get a decent gun would be costly.

Well, you know, good guns do cost money, but, you know, use guns are often a really good bargain.

Let me ask you a question.

You're in Spokane, right?
