    WL&S S1E77: Pro-Gun, Anti-Safety? That's Democrat-ic! | Blue Guns & Blunders

    Summary The podcast "Whiskey, Lead, and Steel" discusses the dangers of politicians who claim to be "Pro 2A" but lack real knowledge about firearms. They analyze a recent incident involving a politician Lucas Kunce who was injured by a gunshot during an NRA-organized training event, highlighting the potential consequences of unqualified individuals handling weapons and promoting unsafe practices. Lucas Kunce is a Marine Corps veteran who has actively campaigned against gun who held a “Pro 2A” fundraiser. He proceeded to shoot steel targets at an incredibly unsafe distance which caused a reporter to get injured by a bullet fragment that ricocheted off the steel. Analogy It's like someone claiming to be a master chef but then setting their kitchen on fire while trying to make a simple meal. They may talk the talk, but their actions demonstrate a lack of true expertise and understanding.

As we see some of the most destructive hurricanes in a century this season alone prepping has never been so important. Analogy Imagine a house facing a severe storm. The sturdy foundation and well-maintained structure represent preparedness – having plans, resources, and skills in place.

Just as a house needs both structural integrity and community support to weather a storm, so too do individuals benefit from personal preparedness and collective resilience.
