A close look at Philadelphia s 499 homicides in 2020 reveals that the surge in violence began after the city s COVID-19 lockdowns were put in place and continued throughout the rest of the year. As Cam explains, the data demonstrates that the shootings and homicides weren t driven by the increase in gun sales to law-abiding citizens, but by the pullback on the part of police and the court system, which led to far fewer consequences for violent offenders.
California Rifle & Pistol Association president and general counsel Chuck Michel joins Cam to discuss the latest legal wrangling in the challenge to the state's ban on ammunition magazines that can hold more than ten rounds, and why he's feeling cautious optimism about the ultimate outcome of the case.
As the NRA and other 2A organizations are warning that Democrats in Congress could start moving on gun control bills in just a few days, a trio of new gun control measures have been introduced in the House, each of them targeting legal gun sales with new restrictions while ignoring violent criminals and illicit gun sales.

We know a little more about Justin Trudeau’s plan to implement his gun ban and compensated confiscation efforts now that a new gun control bill has been introduced in Parliament, but the Canadian prime minister is still keeping mum about some pretty important details; including how much his confiscation will cost and when it will begin.
Despite the lack of a detailed plan, the clock is ticking for gun owners, who have until April of 2023 to hand over their guns or lock them up for good. Under the legislation released by Trudeau today, while there will be no door-to-door confiscation of legally-owned firearms (at least for now), those who don’t turn in their newly-prohibited firearms must “agree not to use the weapons, to import or acquire any more of them or to bequeath them to anyone else.”
