    What Does Mining Have to Do with Your Gun Rights? with AZ US Congressman Dr. Paul Gosar, DDS - GunFreedomRadio EP537Paul Gosar 9.22.26 COMPLETE Audio

    Our guest today is AZ US Congressman Dr. Paul Gosar. Dr. Gosar represents Arizona’s 9th Congressional District, which encompasses much of rural western Arizona. First elected to Congress in 2010 after a career as a practicing dentist, he currently serves on the House Committee on Natural Resources, where he chairs the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations and serves on the Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources. He also serves on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. 1)What does mining have to do with our gun rights? (No antimony - no ammo. Many gun owners may not realize: antimony is an important component in ammunition and primers. That means our dependence on foreign mineral supplies can become an issue for the firearms community as well as for national defense.) 2) You chair the Natural Resources Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, which puts you in a position to examine the actions of federal agencies and how they manage America's lands and resources. Where are you finding the greatest need for congressional oversight and accountability right now—and how do those decisions ultimately affect people back home in Arizona? 3) You also serve on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee's healthcare-related work. You're a dentist who spent 25 years in private practice before coming to Congress, so you've experienced healthcare from both sides. What do you believe Washington misunderstands about the relationship between patients, providers, insurance companies, and government—and where would you like to see reform? 4) There seems to be a common thread running through much of your committee work—from mining and energy to the border, federal agencies, and even the Second Amendment: after more than 15 years in Congress, where do you believe the balance between federal power and individual liberty needs the most attention? 5) How do people follow you?

    Two Leaders. One Vision for Arizona. with Rep. Andy Biggs & Sine Kerr - GunFreedomRadio EP538

    Our guests today are Congressman Andy Biggs and former Arizona State Senator Sine Kerr (pronounced SEE-nah). Congressman Biggs currently represents Arizona’s Fifth Congressional District and previously served in both chambers of the Arizona Legislature, including as Arizona Senate President. He is now the Republican nominee for Governor of Arizona. Joining him is Sine Kerr, his running mate and the Republican nominee for Arizona’s newly created office of Lieutenant Governor. Sine served in the Arizona Senate from 2018 through 2025, including as Senate Majority Whip, and most recently served as Arizona State Executive Director of the USDA Farm Service Agency. A fourth-generation dairy farmer with her husband Bill, she brings decades of experience in agriculture, rural Arizona, water policy, business, and public service. 1) Representative Biggs, let's start with your choice of Sine. This is the first time in Arizona history that gubernatorial candidates have selected running mates, so you weren't simply choosing someone to help win an election—you were helping define an entirely new office. What qualities were you looking for in Arizona's first Lieutenant Governor, and what convinced you that Sine Kerr was the right person for that role? 2) Sine, let's turn that around. You had already served seven years in the Arizona Senate, risen to Majority Whip, worked in agriculture for decades, and then moved into a federal role with USDA. Why did you say yes—and what do you believe you bring to this partnership that complements Andy's experience and perspective? 3) Arizona voters created the Lieutenant Governor's office, but many probably still don't know exactly what that person will do beyond being next in the line of succession. If elected, how do the two of you envision dividing responsibilities, and what substantive role would Lieutenant Governor Kerr have in a Biggs administration? 4) Our GunFreedomRadio audience is particularly concerned about the Second Amendment and personal safety. Arizona has long had a strong tradition of firearm ownership and Constitutional Carry. What would your administration's approach be to protecting Second Amendment rights while addressing public safety, violent crime, school security, and the safety of Arizona families? 5) Affordability seems to be what my friends and neighbors are most concerned with. If Arizonans gave you the keys to the Governor's Office tomorrow, what is the top priority each of you would want to begin working on immediately? 6) Sine, you bring something particularly important to this ticket: decades of firsthand experience in agriculture and rural Arizona. Water, land use, housing, energy, and growth are all colliding as Arizona continues to develop. How do we protect Arizona's agricultural heritage and water resources while still allowing our communities and economy to grow? 7) Finally, you're asking voters to elect you not simply as two individual candidates, but as a Governor–Lieutenant Governor team. How do you connect with the wide, diverse, and uniquely Arizonan voters—who are Republicans, Independents, Democrats, and people who are simply frustrated with politics? 8) How do people follow the Biggs-Kerr campaign and learn more about your policy platform?

    Your Health. Your Safety. Your Responsibility. with Dr. John Oertle - GunFreedomRadio EP536

    Our guest today is Dr. John Oertle (Pronounced ERT-lee). Dr. Oertle is Chief Medical Officer of Envita Medical Centers and America’s HealthShare, and Chairman of Envita’s Molecular Tumor Board, pioneering precision genomic medicine and patient-centered solutions to America’s healthcare challenges. Dr Oertle is passionate about removing the roadblocks to exercising personal health freedom that aligns with our personal values. 1) On GunFreedomRadio, we often say that when your life is threatened, you are your own first responder. That doesn't diminish the value of law enforcement—it recognizes our responsibility to participate in our own safety. Is there a parallel principle in healthcare? Should we think of ourselves as our own “first responder” when it comes to our health? 2) With firearms, responsible freedom means getting educated, understanding the risks, and developing the skills to make informed decisions. What does that same kind of personal responsibility look like in healthcare—and how is precision genomic medicine helping patients make decisions based on their individual circumstances rather than a one-size-fits-all approach? 3) Gun owners are often stereotyped as paranoid rather than prepared. In a similar vein, simply asking difficult questions about healthcare can sometimes be labeled as anti-science or being a conspiracy theorist. How do we encourage people to question, investigate, and seek second opinions while still respecting legitimate medical science and expertise? 4) Our Founders spoke of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. If we expand that idea to “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Health Freedom,” what does health freedom mean to you—and what responsibilities come with it? 5) How do people follow you?

    What’s Next For AZ Gun Rights? with Michael Infanzon - GunFreedomRadio EP539

    Our guest today is Michael Infanzon. Michael is the Chief Lobbyist and a Director for the Arizona Citizens Defense League, Managing Partner of EPIC Policy Group, and one of the most familiar faces at the Arizona Capitol when legislation affecting the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is being debated. 1) The 2026 Arizona legislative session is behind us, and AzCDL tracked many of bills affecting firearm owners—including bills that passed the Legislature but were ultimately vetoed. Looking back at the session, what were the biggest victories, disappointments, and lessons for Arizona gun owners? 2) Most people think a lobbyist's work happens only while the Legislature is in session, but AzCDL has also been investigating local firearm ordinances and potential violations of Arizona's firearms-preemption laws. What are you finding at the city and county level, and why does state preemption matter to an ordinary gun owner who may never set foot inside the Capitol? 3) On Saturday, October 17th, AzCDL will hold its 21st Annual Meeting of Members in Phoenix, bringing together Arizona gun owners and Second Amendment leaders. Tell us about this year's event, what attendees can expect, and why gatherings like this are about much more than simply preaching to the choir. (This year's speakers include Keynote Speaker, Mark Walters, GOP Nominee for Lt. Governor Sine Kerr, AZ State Director of Gun Owners of America Cyn Ladd, and Second Amendment Foundation founder Alan Gottlieb. From 11:am – 4:pm at Elks Lodge #335 - 14424 N 32nd Street, Phoenix, AZ 85032) 4) You spend your days watching legislation, regulations, court decisions, local governments, and the people and organizations working on all sides of these issues. Looking ahead to 2027, where do you see the biggest opportunities—and the biggest challenges—for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms in Arizona? 5) Finally, AzCDL has always emphasized that protecting rights isn't a spectator sport. For the Arizona gun owner who says, “I care about the Second Amendment, but I don't know what I can actually do,” where do you tell them to start? 6) How do people follow your work, listen to the Copper Dome Update: 2A Edition, and get involved with AzCDL?

    Re-gaining Our 2A Rights with Knox Williams - GunFreedomRadio EP535

    Our guest today is Knox Williams. Knox serves as Senior Fellow for American Justice Policy at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI). In 2011, he helped form the American Suppressor Association, dedicated to suppressor advocacy and education. During his years of advocacy, he has worked on suppressor reforms across the country, including expanding lawful suppressor ownership and hunting, reducing NFA wait times, and ultimately eliminating the federal $200 transfer tax on suppressors. And, in 2025, Knox was elected to the National Rifle Association Board of Directors. 1) One of the biggest developments in hearing protection has been the elimination of the $200 federal transfer tax on suppressors for firearms. And now we're seeing litigation challenging what remains of the National Firearms Act's regulatory structure. What has actually changed for gun owners, what hasn't, and where does the fight over the NFA go from here? 2) As a Senior Fellow for American Justice Policy at the America First Policy Institute, talk to us about the huge news coming out of the country of Colombia, where President Abelardo De La Espriella (ah-beh-LAR-doh deh lah es-PREE-eh-yah) just lifted the country's ban on owning guns, calling it "unfair" that law-abiding citizens have been left defenseless as criminals arm themselves "to the teeth." It would seem that they're following the American lead, by recognizing firearm ownership is about deterring crime and personal and family protection. 3) There is more big news brewing with AFPI's recent amicus brief filed in the Viramontes v. Cook County Supreme Court case. What is this case and how significant might it be for American Gun Owners? 4) Your work now spans the American Suppressor Association, public policy at AFPI, and the NRA Board. Looking at the Second Amendment landscape from all three perspectives, what do you see as the next major opportunities—and challenges—for firearm owners and the organizations representing them? 5) How do people follow you?

    Unity, Elections, & Your Rights with Sergio Arellano - GunFreedomRadio EP534

    Our guest today is Sergio Arellano. Sergio is the Chairman of the Arizona Republican Party, a U.S. Army combat veteran, public servant, and business leader. His career spans veterans’ advocacy, government, grassroots organizing, and political leadership, with a focus on strengthening communities and civic engagement. 1) Bringing the Republican Party together may have never been a bigger challenge than it is now, leading up to the 2026 Primary Election. What is your strategy for bringing unity to the State GOP? 2) You have said that the Arizona Republican Party is going to engage voters like never before. What does that look like on the ground, and what are you doing differently in 2026? 3) You’ve also said that listening is the most important part of effective communication. You’ve been listening to the grassroots and the boots on the ground across Arizona—what are they telling you? Are Republican voters energized, or are efforts to discourage and divide them having an impact? 4) While gun rights are fundamentally a nonpartisan issue, the reality is that elections have a direct impact on the policies that protect or restrict them. What is at stake for Second Amendment rights in Arizona in this election? 5) Let’s talk about the Republican slate Arizona voters will see this November. What do you believe these candidates offer Arizona, and what is your case to Independent voters who may not identify with either political party? 6) For conservative voters who want to see these candidates succeed in November, what can they do between now and Election Day to make their voices heard and participate effectively? 7) How do people follow your work?
