NBL Breaks Down a Little Gun Control
May 9th
Listen in right here!
In a rare disagreement, Mike and Matt are not sure how to handle gun control. If we leave this open ended and often over reviewed Constitutional right to run amok, where do we draw the line? If the government is not allowed any oversight in the matter, shouldn’t society cap its so called allowance based on Darwinian principle?If we leave the right up to the people there is actually something to the argument that any weapon should be allowed, or that any weapon should fall within a person’s reasonable right of ownership. There has to be some level of regulation or society will destroy itself, or at least that is one view. If so, how can that level of regulation be determined? There is no inherent governing of that stewardship explicit in the Constitution. On the other hand, if we allow it to remain unchecked, Mike believes that society can self manage this process and ensure that it does not go too far. What is your take?

So Matt and Mike had a heated discussion on the recent “ground zero” mosque debacle. Not only is this a nonissue blown completely out of proportion, but the Obama administration is failing to stand up for itself or just flat out act like a man. It is pathetic.
NBL is so frustrated with the corporate media and its goons ruining everything that they have to vent a bit in this pod.
To lighten things up Matt reviews the 138 page, yes 138 PAGE decision from Judge Walker on proposition 8 this summer. He is the only person on earth that actually read it, and shares the juicy parts with us all.
The defense in this case is almost laughable. Relying solely on hearsay and Internet rumor, they contend that homosexual marriage will deinstitutionalize marriage all together. (Yes apparently that is a word) The trouble is that they can’t prove it. Their witnesses are a joke and their “facts” turn out to be piles of donkey dung. Don’t believe us? Read it for yourself. It is a joke.
The concern is that this WILL be appealed to the Supreme Court, and even with the thin backing it has, it is conceivable that this could be a problem. What kind of society do we live in that hearsay, stereotype and Internet facts can potentially rule the day? It may be the 1960s for gays. Let’s hope society takes a step in the right direction for freedom.
