    Oregon School Shooting: Armed Father Stops Gunman | EP53

    A father drove past his daughters’ elementary school and witnessed an unfolding nightmare. When gunfire erupted at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, Oregon, he intervened. But what happens when an armed civilian makes the decision to enter an active shooter situation? In this episode of We Da People, Shelton, Colin, and Fred examine the Oregon school shooting, the courage of an armed parent, and a teacher who fought to protect her students. They discuss how personal stakes can change the decision to act, and why a person carrying a gun may still face dangerous confusion when police arrive. The conversation shifts into the bigger gun rights and school safety debate: Should teachers be armed? Would secure firearm storage and training help? Should schools employ more armed security officers? The crew explores the risks of civilian intervention and the legal consequences that may follow. They also compare everyday carry vs. truck guns, discuss firearm storage around children, and debate accountability, prevention, and punishment for mass violence. At the center of it all is a difficult question: How do we protect children without pretending there are simple answers? In this episode we cover: What happened at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, Oregon Why an armed father chose to intervene The teacher whose actions helped stop the threat Good guy with a gun arguments—and their limits Armed teachers, training, and school security   Everyday carry vs. truck gun considerations Firearm storage, parents, and responsibility Criminal accountability and deterrence

    Why Does the Gun Industry Have a Problem With Black Rambo? | EP 52

    Black Rambo has millions of followers, massive reach, and one of the most recognizable personalities in firearms content. So why does he still feel like parts of the gun industry refuse to give him his respect? In this episode of We Da People, Black Rambo sits down with Shelton, Fred, and Colin of Gunplay TV for a raw conversation about gun industry gatekeeping, creator hate, authenticity, brand relationships, and what it really takes to build an audience without changing who you are. Rambo responds directly to claims that he is “a character,” talks about being criticized for his energy and style, and explains why he believes he helped bring new people into the firearms community. He also opens up about his Marine Corps background, his first viral gun video, his early SHOT Show experience, working with firearm brands, and learning how to turn attention into opportunity. The conversation also gets into the business behind being a gun content creator. Millions of views do not always mean millions of dollars. Rambo breaks down product sales, monetization challenges, sponsorships, and why creators have to find multiple ways to make money. In this episode we cover: - Why Black Rambo gets so much criticism - Gun industry gatekeeping and changing firearm culture - His Marine Corps and Iraq War background - How one gun video changed his social media career - SHOT Show, firearm brands, and creator relationships - Why big views do not always equal big income - Building your own lane instead of asking for a seat - Staying authentic when the internet wants you to change Key takeaway: You do not have to fit the industry mold to build influence.

    Masculinity, Martial Arts & Emotional Control with Dr. Sam | EP51

    What does it actually mean to be a capable man, and can you be dangerous without being reckless? In this episode of We Da People, Dr. Sam joins the crew for a direct conversation about masculinity and emotional control, martial arts mindset, confidence, ego, and what happens when pressure exposes who you really are. The discussion starts with the difference between looking tough and actually having a usable skill set. The crew gets into why real capability often comes with restraint, why confidence doesn’t have to be loud, and why emotional intelligence for men matters even more when firearms, self-defense, family, and responsibility enter the picture. Then the conversation shifts to social media. Dr. Sam breaks down how he handles internet trolls without letting them pull him off center, while the crew discusses rage bait, online disrespect, groupthink, and the pressure to prove yourself to strangers. They also challenge the gap between sport martial arts and real-world self-defense, including why training has to match the environment you may actually face. In this episode we cover: • Masculinity, discipline, and emotional regulation • Confidence vs. arrogance • Martial arts mindset and pressure testing • Self-defense mindset and personal responsibility • How to deal with internet trolls • Social media rage bait and emotional triggers • Street fight vs. martial arts assumptions • Why men need people who will challenge them

    Black Juror Holds Out in Lindsay Clancy Trial: Was He Right? What about Latarsha Sanders? | EP49

    The Lindsay Clancy mistrial has become bigger than one courtroom. In this episode of We Da People, the crew debates the case, the lone holdout juror, postpartum psychosis, media framing, and a much harder question: does justice look different when money, resources, race, and public sympathy enter the picture? We break down the Lindsay Clancy trial from the perspective of criminal responsibility, not whether the deaths occurred. The conversation focuses on the insanity defense, the role of mental health records, access to expert witnesses, and why one juror refusing to join the majority became a national story. The crew also compares the attention around Clancy with the case of Latarsha Sanders, whose case raised its own questions about psychiatric evidence and equal treatment inside the justice system. From there, the discussion expands into media bias, the court of public opinion, online activism, and how headlines can shape what people believe before they ever examine the underlying facts. In this episode we cover: • Lindsay Clancy trial and mistrial • Postpartum psychosis and criminal responsibility • The lone Black juror and the 11–1 deadlock • Lindsay Clancy vs. Latarsha Sanders • Mental health defenses and psychiatric evidence • Money, expert witnesses, and access to legal resources • Media bias and the court of public opinion • Why reading beyond the headline matters Key takeaway: the crew argues that morality, evidence, and legal standards should matter more than identity, politics, or online consensus.

    Gun Addiction: When the Hobby Starts Hurting Your Relationship | WDP #47

    How many guns are too many—and when does a firearms hobby start costing you more than money? In this episode of We Da People, the crew gets into gun addiction, gun consumerism, relationship problems, and the line between enjoying the culture and letting it control your life. The conversation starts with a simple question: can buying guns, optics, gear, training, and range time become unhealthy? The crew breaks down what happens when firearm spending starts affecting bills, savings, family time, friendships, or your relationship. They also debate whether you should have to “ask permission” to go to the range, why communication matters, and how a partner may notice an unhealthy pattern before you do. From gun collecting and firearms and finances to toxic relationships, accountability, personal growth, and building something bigger than yourself, this episode goes well beyond gear. The message is simple: responsible gun ownership also means being responsible with your money, your time, and the people around you. In this episode we cover: - How many guns are too many - When a gun hobby becomes an addiction - Firearm spending versus bills and savings - Gun culture and relationship problems - Balancing range time with family time - Collecting guns versus actually using them - Accountability, toxic habits, and personal growth - Why creators should focus on adding value, not competing Key takeaway: If the hobby is damaging your finances, family, relationships, or day-to-day life, it is time to take inventory.

    Exigent Defense Owner on the Future of Suppressors and the NFA | EP46

    Suppressors are changing fast, and the recent NFA developments could reshape how American gun owners buy, transfer, and think about them. In this episode of We Da People, we sit down with Evan from Exigent Defense to break down what’s happening with suppressor regulations, 4473 transfers, and the technology pushing modern suppressors forward. We get deep into 3D-printed suppressors, additive manufacturing, Inconel vs titanium suppressors, reduced back pressure designs, direct thread vs QD suppressors, flash suppression, heat management, barrel length, and why buying the “do everything” suppressor may not actually be the smartest move. The conversation also moves beyond equipment. We discuss representation in the firearms industry, how social media algorithms shape perceptions of gun culture, why the 2A community needs room for different types of gun owners, and why more people need to move from simply consuming firearms products to designing, manufacturing, and building businesses of their own. In this episode we cover: - NFA suppressor changes and 4473 transfers - What the current suppressor landscape means for gun owners - 3D-printed suppressors and additive manufacturing - Inconel vs titanium vs stainless suppressors - Low back pressure and reduced gas blowback - Direct thread vs QD suppressor mounts - Choosing a suppressor for your actual use case - Representation and diversity within the 2A community Key takeaway: There is no perfect suppressor for every rifle — understand your application before buying.
