In the long awaited Episode 49, Doc digs into recent gun control measures that passed the House of Representatives in early June: HR7910, "Protecting Our Kids Act" and HR2377 "Federal Extreme Risk Protection Order Act of 2022".  These two pieces of legislation would accomplish nothing to control gun crime and mass shootings in America, but would continue to slowly chip away at our right to bear arms and preserve liberty and  freedom in America.  And as always, with every piece of gun legislation, the arguments slide right past the defense of tyranny argument.  In the Grind this Episode, Doc reviews 68Whiskey from Liberty Beans Coffee out of Cherry Hill, New Jersey.  It's everything a Combat Medic is - dark like our humor, smooth on the tongue and easy to be with all day long! If a cup of coffee could drop panties - this is the one that could do it! A special thank you to the shows new sponsor : UBH-Denton Military Program.

In Episode 48, Doc takes a look at current events happening in Canada and Ukraine, and breaks down what's happening across the world today and how that compares to America and the freedoms that we have been provided; such as the right to assemble and have free speech (1st Amendment) the right to keep and bear arms (2nd Amendment) and our rights to due process under the law (4th Amendment).  These freedoms and basic liberties have been under attack in our own country, by analyzing what is happening in real time in other countries today, maybe we could gain some perspective and understanding of how important and relevant they are in our world today - and rekindle an understanding of how grateful we should be that we have them!
