4 Big Surprises and 10 Big Takeaways from the 2024 Election

The 2024 election didn't result in apocalypse as some predicted, but it was long, frustrating, and brutal. And now that the dust has cleared, it's time to take a close look at what happened.

Rob Sexton, BFA's Legislative Affairs Director, joins the podcast to discuss 4 big surprises from the election and the 10 big takeaways for gun rights here in Ohio and at the federal level.

The 2024 Ohio Pre-Election Rundown for Gun Owners

Kamala Harris promises massive gun control. The Ohio Senate race could determine the future of America. Three seats are up for grabs on the Ohio Supreme Court. And voters will decide on a contentious Issue 1 on Democratic gerrymandering.

Rob Sexton, BFA's Legislative Affairs Director, joins the podcast to discuss candidate endorsements and why this may be the most dramatic election of our lifetimes.

BFA PAC-Endorsed Joe Deters Discusses the Second Amendment and the Ohio Supreme Court

Buckeye Firearms Association PAC has endorsed Joe Deters, Megan Shanahan, and Daniel Hawkins for the Ohio Supreme Court. Voting for these pro-gun, pro-constitution candidates may be the best way to protect your gun rights at a time when activists seek to impose a raft of unconstitutional gun control laws. 

Justice Joe Deters joins the podcast to discuss this 2024 election, the Second Amendment, and the importance of the Ohio Supreme Court. 

Kamala Harris Voices Support for Gun Bans and Confiscation

If you thought Joe Biden was a threat to gun rights, hold on to your seat. Kamala Harris is worse, voicing support for gun confiscation, magazine bans, unconstitutional red flag laws, mandatory storage, and the belief that there is no individual right to gun ownership.

Lee Williams, Chief Editor of the Second Amendment Foundation's Investigative Journalism Project and Board Member of Florida Carry, gives us a peek at the radical gun control past of both Harris and her running mate, the not at all weird Tim Walz.

Democrat gerrymandering is in. Biden is out. Gun confiscation is on the ballot.

The 2024 election keeps getting scarier and scarier. Left-wing, out-of-state activists are pouring millions into a scheme to gerrymander elections in Ohio. President Biden gets kicked to the curb after supporters claimed he's smarter than Einstein and stronger than the Hulk. And the least popular Democrat candidate is suddenly running for President while supporting confiscation of firearms.

Rob Sexton, BFA's Legislative Affairs Director, shares his insights on what may be the weirdest election of our lifetimes.

16 Things Hollywood Gets Wildly Wrong on Guns

Hollywood makes some great movies and TV shows. But they don't always get the details right, especially when it comes to guns. Bad guys fly backwards across the room when they're shot. Guns never seem to run out of ammo. And fingers are on triggers all the time. 

Sean Maloney, firearms attorney and co-founder of Second Call Defense, sets the record straight to help people handle guns properly, avoid accidents, and stay out of legal trouble.

The ATF, Cincinnati, and Others Get Slapped Down by the Supreme Court

The US Supreme Court recently ruled that courts, not agencies such as the ATF, should interpret laws. And an Ohio court told Cincinnati they can't make up their own gun laws. Plus, who's in charge of the executive branch which enforces laws. It's clearly not Joe Biden.

Sean Maloney, firearms attorney and co-founder of Second Call Defense, explains what it all means.

Do more guns cause more crime? No. And here's proof.

Gun control advocates say more guns = more crime. Specifically, the more guns there are the more murders will be committed. But is that really true? Do guns cause crime?

Rob Morse, author of the SlowFacts blog, decided to do a little research and see for himself. What does the data say? The truth may surprise you. Plus, why Rob gave up his Glock for an M&P, and Dean gave up his M&P for a Glock.

Meet 97Percent, the Fake Gun Rights Group that Pushes Gun Control
