We cover the Oregon standoff and and the end of the podcast Tech has an impromptu interview with a friend of Gun’s. The interview gets off to a bit of a rocky start because Tech didn’t know anyone was going to be calling, and we’re reasonably sure the interviewee can’t tell them apart!

There’s been a big focus on gun control and ways to stop gun crime recently. One of the 1st common sense Gun Control laws I see as needed are rules against posting signs stating “Gun Free Zone” in areas where absolutely no entry control protocols and routine screenings are in place.
Many of the “Mass shootings” that Pres. Obama talks about so much and has even been seen crying over have taken place in “Gun Free” zones. If a building manager posts such a sign without implementing intense security measures, they provide the patrons with a false sense of security. The only way one should legally be aloud to declare an area a GFZ is if they have an armed officer or officers posted at entrances with a metal detector.
If areas truly want to prevent people from entering their theaters with guns, they need to logically approach the subject because a sign that says something is not a magical talisman that wards off danger. Instead of magic, someone walking out of a GFZ movie theater alive is merely the chance survival of Schrödinger’s cat, the only difference is Schrödinger wouldn’t have been so presumptive to mark the box “Alive Cat Zone.”
So, if you are to continue you posting GFZ signs you will need to amend it to state: “This is simultaneously an armed area and a gun free zone until you either survive or are shot.” Seem ridiculous? So are fake Gun Free Zones.
In the meantime, I’m not going to go to work, I’m just going to fasten a “Rent Free Zone” sign on my door. I’m sure my leasing office will understand the same way mass shooters understood GFZ signs.
The brothers cover the Republican debates, the candidates, Bowe Bergdahl and gun deaths. They also cover free speech, first amendment rights vs second amendment rights and why you shouldn’t give up freedom for security.
Tech rants on UPS and Why you shouldn’t just leave it at “You’re in our thoughts and prayers.”
Tech gets a new mic, Gunn launches the Facebook page. Details from the podcast are on Facebook.
Tov Purim: http://youtu.be/CGRsf5sybCI
Friends! It’s Purim, the fun Jewish holiday that reminds us of Ester and Mordecai who protected the Jewish people living in Persia about 2 and a half millenia ago. It’s a great story, if you are unfamiliar you should look it up. Ester is beautiful, her unlce is wise, she becomes queen, he becomes an advisor, the prime minister tries to have all Jewish people killed, and the pleas of Ester are the only thing that save them. That’s the quick quick version, of course, but how did the Shah undo the order to kill all the Jews?
He didn’t.
Ester’s victory wasn’t getting the freedom or salvation of her people granted, it was getting the ‘Right to Bare Arms.’ That’s right, folks, the 2nd ammendment to the US Constitution was also the 1st amendment to the Divine Right Throne of Persia.
Don’t be afraid of guns, members of The Tribe! Figure out how they work, find one you’re comfortable with, buy it, and get your concealed carry permit. Don’t be gun-ofobic, know your Ester! Protect yourself, take it as a mitzvah.
