First, they examine the calls for legislation to restrict access to guns or certain types of guns and what impact those steps would have had in this case. They also get into why young people come to the point of contemplating or carrying out such heinous attacks and what ideas closer to home might make a big difference. And Jim previews this week’s NRA annual meeting and how the the horrific events of the past couple of weeks might be addressed.

Virginia Dems Ready Major Gun Control Effort

November 8, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Virginia Dems Ready Major Gun Control Effort” on Spreaker.

On Tuesday, Democrats won the majority in both chambers of the Virginia General Assembly.  Come January, gun control will be at the top of the agenda for Gov. Ralph Northam and his allies in the legislature.

This past summer, Northam called a special session to address gun legislation.  The Republican majority promptly adjourned the session.  Now with control of both the State Senate and the House of Delegates, Northam is making his agenda known.

According to the Washington Post, Northam held a cabinet meeting Wednesday and publicly laid out his gun control agenda.  He “mentioned universal background checks, banning the sale of [semi-automatic firearms] and high-capacity magazines, restoring the law that limits purchases to one gun a month, and a red flag law that would empower a court to temporarily remove a gun from a person deemed to be a risk to himself or others.”

Northam also admitted he was seriously examining how to confiscate firearms already legally owned by Virginians but would be banned under his proposed legislation.

But what exactly does Northam mean by an “assault weapon.”  Gun Owners of America Legislative Counsel Mike Hammond says Northam appears to have a broad swath of weapons in mind for his ban.

“As far as I can tell, it’s basically all semi-automatics that have one or no features that make them look like actual automatic firearms. The term assault weapon is sort of a fraudulent term invented by the left in order to make regular rifles and handguns more dangerous or more exceptional than they in fact are,” said Hammond.

And what does Hammond think about Northam’s confiscation plans?

“Oh, I hope he goes that route because, as (former Democratic presidential candidate) Beto O’Rourke found out, when you talk about raiding someone’s house in the middle of the night through these red flag gun confiscation laws and seizing their semi-automatic rifles, then at that point I think firearms owners in Virginia will finally wake up and there will be a red wave during the next gubernatorial election,” said Hammond.

Listen to the full podcast as Hammond explains why any component of Northam’s agenda would be an unacceptable infringement on the Second Amendment and why he thinks it’s possible to defeat the gun control agenda in the Virginia legislature even with Democrats in charge.

Iran Caught Cheating on Nukes

April 25, 2017 by GregC

Despite U.S. government conclusions to the contrary, Iran is cheating on the 2015 nuclear deal and is actively weaponizing nuclear weapons, according to the group who uncovered Iran’s most recent nuclear ambitions in the first place.

The National Council of Resistance of Iran, or NCRI, unveiled intelligence and satellite imagery in recent days that is says it proof of Iranian actions that violate the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA.  It also alleges that the activity is taking place in areas and facilities that are off limits to regular inspections from the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The NCRI is very confident in the validity of its reports.

“These are the very same sources that have been proven accurate in the past.  The network of the movement inside Iran, the MEK, was responsible for exposing the Natanz uranium enrichment facility and the Arak heavy water facility back in August of 2002,” said Alireza Jafarzadeh, deputy director of the NCRI’s Washington office.

Those revelations triggered the international response that has played out for the past 15 years.  He says the group’s sources inside Iran have also made many other discoveries that have panned out over the years.  And Jafarzadeh says outside experts back up those conclusions.

“Those that have seen the satellite imagery that we disclosed during our press conference have confirmed that the satellite imagery shows the construction, the way the buildings are configured, basically corroborates what we’re saying, that this facility is being used for nuclear weaponization,” said Jafarzadeh.

He says further proof that the intelligence is right can seen in the official Iranian response.

“None of them denied our claim outright.  Instead, they started attacking us, saying how bad we are and why the United States should not listen to us, without addressing the particular revelation we made.  They made no reference to it, nor did they invite the IAEA to come and visit,” said Jafarzadeh.

Jafarzadeh says the specific facility shown in the satellite photos depicts a location specializing in detonators.  Much of the secret activity is believed to be going on at Iran’s Parchin facility, a spot that Jafarzadeh says Iran blocked inspectors from for years until finally relenting two years ago.  He says it makes sense for Iran to do clandestine work there.

“They thought they closed the chapter on Parchin.  Now with this new information and new evidence, there is a renewed call among nuclear experts that the IAEA should be able to go back to this place among other locations that the IAEA has never inspected,” said Jafarzadeh.

He also outlined what the process ought to include.

“The IAEA now has to have access to all of those buildings, to be able to interview their top nuclear scientists, including Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who has been the top person behind the whole program over the past 15-20 years,” said Jafarzadeh.

So why hasn’t Parchin been part of regular inspections since the JCPOA was enacted in 2015?  Jafarzadeh says the Iranians successfully limited inspections to “declared sites.”

“I’m not very comfortable with the term “declared site” because these are not really sites declared by Iran.  It was exposed by us and then Tehran said, ‘Oh yes, we have those sites,'” said Jafarzadeh.

“[The IAEA] basically keeps track of how many centrifuges they have, how much uranium hexafluoride was produced.  They have a checklist they go through, and of course Tehran is very shrewd and they know this is not the place they need to cheat,” said Jafarzadeh, noting the violations happen at facilities the IAEA cannot access or does not know about.

Jafarzadeh says the actions of the West over the past 4-5 years have clearly emboldened the likes of Iran and he notes there are close ties between the two nuclear programs.

“There is a very, very close relationship between North Korea that is helping Iran, not just on their missile program but specifically on their nuclear weapons program,” said Jafarzadeh.  “It’s a very scary situation.”
