Well, welcome to the Live to Shoot podcast. My name's Jeff Do, and I've been a licensed farm dealer for the last 18 years. This podcast we talk about. All things related Second Amendment anything else going on in the world, a sports story or anything else I might find interesting? So, well howdy everybody. In this episode we're gonna be talking about our God-Given Rights Second Amendment. Again, we're gonna dive into some news. We've had some victories in the court. What's going on in the Supreme Court and anything else that might come up. So let's start real quick with the, some wins we've had in the courts because those fights have been heating up. So first we gotta give a shout out to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Now that is hard thing for me to say the ninth Circuit, but,'cause we know how crazy they are. But on August 14th, they finalized a ruling on win versus boda. It's an NARA supported case that's struck down. California's ridiculous. One gun a month law. That's right. The Golden State thought they could tell the law abiding citizens they could only buy one gun every 30 days. But. The Ninth Circuit even said not so fast and declared that a violation of our second amendment. Imagine that that had to be hard coming out of them. This is huge. It's the first time this court has issued a judgment striking down a law on Second Amendment grounds. So big win. But let's go to Florida. We've got some major movement there in an NRA versus glass. Now get this, the state of Florida is now arguing that its own law banning 18 to 20 year olds from purchasing firearms is unconstitutional. Can you believe that Florida's basically waving the white flag and saying, yeah. We messed up. That's even, they're even urging the Supreme Court to take up the case and settle once and for all. It's a big deal for our young patriots who deserve the right to defend themselves. And we've got other stories like this, other cases kind of floating around the US as well. But if you remember this too, Florida, put this in place after the Parkland shooting, and this is one of the big, kind of black marks on Pam Bondy's career because she was involved in that. But you know, she's. She's kind of stood up. She's been doing things. Now she's at the Attorney General, but we still gotta keep an eye on her. But this is a big win in Florida. Now here's one from the sixth circuit. They dropped a ruling that got, has people talking. They had said that machine guns are protected under the Second Amendment. Yeah, they said that, but they upheld the ban because they're supposedly dangerous and unusual. So if it's protected, how do they ban it? Sounds some mental gymnastics to me, but so we've got that one. So we're gonna have to keep an eye on what's going on with that. Every once in a while we'll throw in, you know, a story and I ran of, you know, somebody actually using a firearm to, you know, defend themselves, be a you know, protect the other citizens. This one comes outta Maine from the NRA. It was on August 18th. A guy, chase down a, a suspect who had just fatally, who had just been fatally attacked using a motorcycle. He wasn't some vigilant, he was a law abiding citizen stepping up when it mattered most. He used his firearm to pursue and hold, hold, stop at the dangerous criminal. That's right. The second amendment's all about that. Good folks standing up and protecting'em until the authorities could get there, so kudos to him. So now let's talk about what's been going on with the Supreme Court. They have recently declined to hear challenges to gun control laws in Maryland and Rhode Island, which involve bans on the so-called SEP assault weapons and high capacity magazines. So don't panic. Not yet. Anyway, justice Thomas Ali, Owen and Gorsuch were ready to take on the cases. Kavanaugh hinted that the court might tackle the issue of AR 15 bans in the next term or two, so the fight's not over and I. Sometimes can't quite follow what all goes on with the, the Supreme Court. We do have the majority we do have some wishy-washy ones. And sometimes they're just waiting for that perfect case. But I, I'm confident that here in their next, next term or the following one, that they're gonna tackle some of these bigger cases and start getting some. Clear decisions on banning things like the AR 15, quote unquote, the assault weapons and high capacity magazines, and how those are, are protected by the Second Amendment. So before we wrap up, you know, let's just, I wanna shout out kudos, you know, to the, to the courts to our citizens out there, you know, protecting others with the Second Amendment and, you know, let's keep an eye on the Supreme Court. Until next week. I. You know, stay vigilant. You know, we gotta keep fighting. We've got good wind going on. We've got a good administration. We do. Things seem to be going in the right direction. But places like every town and the Brady Group and all those out there, they, they don't give up. They're gonna keep coming after us. There's a lot of blue states out there that we gotta keep fighting and, and winning over our Second Amendment rights. So stay vigilant, fight, keep fighting, and I will talk to you next week. Have a good one.
