Principles and Policies Podcast for 2/25/2013- You Are The Target

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.

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Friday February 8, 2013. Chuck Michaelis does an analysis on the motivations behind legislation in Connecticut that would require “mental health screening.” What Chuck sees is a hijacking of the mental screening process to strip people who think outside the box of their custodial rights and the forced “retraining” of their children to conform to “societal norms.”
