They critique the media's portrayal of gun violence, highlighting the distinction between criminal activity and responsible gun ownership. Colion expresses frustration with the narrative surrounding gun control, arguing that it often overlooks the root causes of violence in inner cities. He emphasizes the need for open conversations about gun safety and the importance of understanding the realities of crime and self-defense. The discussion also touches on the psychological aspects of violence, the importance of situational awareness, and the responsibilities that come with carrying a firearm.

Colion Noir, a lawyer and gun rights activist, discusses the current state of discourse around gun rights and the Second Amendment on the Rubin Report. He reflects on the divisiveness in society, particularly regarding differing opinions on gun ownership, and emphasizes the importance of respectful discourse. Noir shares his experiences, including a notable appearance on Bill Maher’s show, where he faced criticism for being associated with the NRA. He highlights the challenges of navigating social media, where toxic interactions can discourage open dialogue. Noir explains his journey from being anti-gun to becoming an advocate for gun rights, driven by a fascination with firearms and a desire for self-defense. He argues that the perception of gun violence is often skewed, with mass shootings representing a small fraction of gun-related deaths, most of which are suicides. He stresses that many gun owners are responsible and that education on gun safety could significantly reduce accidental shootings. He addresses misconceptions about firearms, clarifying that terms like "AR" do not stand for "assault rifle" and that most modern guns are semi-automatic. Noir critiques the idea of universal background checks, arguing that they would require a national gun registry, which he believes could lead to government overreach and confiscation. Noir emphasizes that the real issues behind gun violence often stem from socio-economic factors rather than the presence of guns themselves. He concludes by asserting that while the likelihood of needing to use a gun for self-defense may be low, the consequences of being unprepared can be severe, underscoring the importance of personal responsibility in protecting oneself.

Today's episode opens with a Gray Block Pizza pitch before Theo Von welcomes Nick Furlong, a gunsmith and outdoorsman he met at Turner's Outdoorsman in Torrance. Nick sold Theo two guns and describes the store’s California-legal inventory, background checks, and the rush of firearm purchases during the pandemic. He notes March 2020 had more background checks than any month in US history, with long lines and hundreds waiting outside, especially near LA. The conversation covers who bought guns: mostly first-time buyers from diverse backgrounds, many seeking home defense as unrest loomed in LA, Watts, and other historic flashpoints. A frequent question: what should a new buyer get? Nick recommends polymer-frame striker-fired pistols for simplicity (Glock, Springfield XDS, S&W shields/SD nines) and California-compliant long guns, while outlining California’s microstamping roster rules, which require new semi-automatic handguns post-2013 to incorporate microstamping technology, a feature he says is impractical and easily worked around. He explains that some models, made before 2013, remain on the roster without micro stamping. The 10-day waiting period for California purchases is often extended due to DOJ backlogs; buyers sometimes must wait even after the waiting period to clear background checks. California private-party transfers must go through a licensed dealer, and the store will collect a small fee while handling the paperwork, with a 10-day hold on the firearm. Ethics and safety figures prominently: smell of marijuana can bar service; staff discuss whether to sell to fearful buyers. They emphasize training and responsible handling, noting that you can learn a lot about firearms online and through practice. FSC tests can be tricky; several questions are highlighted, including age limits, private party transfers, and magazine capacities. The pair also touch on police trade-ins, the used gun market, and the challenges of tracking firearms. Beyond guns, Nick shares his passion for gunsmithing, military surplus, and customizing firearms—Beretta M9s, AR-15 lowers, and in-house Cerakote work. They discuss the 10-round California limit, the legality of extended magazines, and the thrill and risk of ownership. The chat winds down with anecdotes about diving, lobstering, and outdoor life, culminating in a shared sense that, with education and responsibility, firearms can be a safe hobby and tool. The episode closes with gratitude and mutual respect for the craft.
