Topic: Long Guns

A report from a local Fredericksburg, Texas event called "Boots and Barbecue" highlights the activities of the Fredericksburg Tea Party. The gala featured speaker Alex Newman discussing Agenda 2030 and Common Core, and was attended by political figures including Chip Roy and Kyle Biederman. The narrative includes a description of Matt Long, who portrays Benjamin Franklin in public schools, and a critique of the fundraising mechanics of political galas.

The hosts analyze the media's use of the term "long gun" instead of "rifle" in reports about a shooting suspect in Trenton, New Jersey. They suggest this linguistic shift is a deliberate attempt to simplify gun control messaging by categorizing all firearms under a single, broader label.

Housekeeping staff in Denver and Chicago discovered stashes of weapons and ammunition in hotel rooms overlooking high-traffic public areas. In Denver, police seized 16 "long guns" near the site of the MLB All-Star game, while in Chicago, a rifle was found in a room overlooking Navy Pier. Authorities are on high alert for potential "Las Vegas style" shooting plots, though some incidents were later classified as illegal gun sales.

The hosts review a CBS report by Scott Pelly to address conflicting information about when bodies were removed from the San Bernardino scene. They also deconstruct the media's sudden use of the term "long guns" instead of "rifles." They argue that "long gun" is a tactical linguistic choice used to broaden the "gun" category for legislative purposes, similar to the terminology used after Sandy Hook.
