This is the most one-sided BS crap I've ever heard. The council member thinks that guns being disassembled and locked away is in accordance with Heller. An Anti-gun cop who thinks all firearms owners should have 40+ hrs of education and testing with them. A BATFE member, need I say more. The slant is rediculous, the most intelligent people are the callers!

Kojo isn't really known for his pro-gun stance ;)

Well he hasn't really said much himself, it's his guests tho. Some callers are smart, some are just the typical emotional Anti's.

The callers were pretty much the mix I expected. I did like the points that Lucas made about the uselessness of trigger locks. The BATFE agent responded exactly as I expected. While I would love to hear a FLEO publicly advocate handing out the CMP arsenal free to any citizen who wanted one , it's certainly not going to happen anytime soon.

I also know several people on various firearm forums who would have had apoplexy at the number of times the callers and experts used the term "clip" when they meant magazine. :)
