Summary

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Have you ever seen a Charlie Brown cartoon where he wants Lucy to hold the football so he can kick it? And every time, Lucy pulls the football away, and Charlie Brown ends up flat on his back. Don’t you think Charlie Brown should have learned his lesson?

helping to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. This is the Constitution Study on the America Out Loud Network with your host, Paul Engle.

0:31.3

Albert Einstein said that doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different

0:35.5

result is the definition of insanity.

0:38.6

I guess Americans are insane because we never seem to learn our lesson.

0:44.8

Hello there, everyday Americans, Paul Engler here with the Constitution study, where we read

0:48.6

and study the Constitution, teacher rights generation, be free. Glad you could join me today.

You know, I'm looking at the news and, well, what's the old thing? Everything old is new again. We never seem to learn our lesson. You know, it just seems to be over and over and over again. So I want to take a couple of looks. I want to start out in Chicago. I talked the other day about the Supreme Court declining to hear a case about Illinois's law prohibiting lawful carry on public transportation, including the Chicago Transit Authority, and this myth that the CTA is somehow a gun-free zone.

2:14.3

When Adams was taken into custody for disorderly conduct, they discovered during a pat-down

2:19.7

that he had a loaded gun. So this idea that gun-free zones are actually gun-free zones

2:25.6

is a myth. And no matter how many times we see this happen, no matter how many times you talk about,

2:30.8

you know, well, you know, guns were brought into a gun-free zone to commit

2:34.3

crime, we still, people still call them or refer to them as gun-free zones when they're not

2:39.3

gun-free zones. That is a myth. That is a narrative that is used to try and make people feel

2:45.8

better about taking away the rights of themselves or other individuals because people are afraid of the wrong thing.

2:53.4
