Our Principles and Policies radio show for Friday March 15, 2013. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis discuss an article speaking in glowing terms of California’s legally dubious seizure of firearms based on “disability.” We ask some important questions about the methods and the rationale used by the state to “justify” these seizures.

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Monday March 4, 2013. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis do a follow-up on a story that we discussed last week involving Law Enforcement Targets, Inc and their “No More Hesitation” line of law enforcement training targets.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Monday February 25, 2013. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis examine recent revelations that local, state, and especially federal “law enforcement” are buying “non-standard” targets which have pictures of pregnant women, old people, children, etc. rather than the old-style silhouette targets. The purpose, the company making them admits, is to “de-sensitize” personnel toward shooting armed civilians.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Friday January 18, 2013. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis do a more in depth discussion of the President’s proposal to “reduce gun violence.” We predict that the result of the proposals will be MORE violence, not less, as has been the case in many other countries that have banned private ownership of firearms. We also question other sections of the proposal that are extremely dangerous to liberty.
