All right, let's get into things because we've got a lot to cover. And the theme,
if there's going to be a theme assigned to this program, this particular episode, is about those
who use their status to demand gun control for the lowly masses like you and I,
all while... of course, wanting heavily armed security around them 24-7.
And it's best described as protection for me,
but not for thee. I butchered that one, didn't I? Protection for me, but not for thee. And that
seems to be a very prevalent theme running through all the Democrat Communist Party and all of
their little sycophants, too.
Just to lay the foundation here, it was a few years ago that some of the sisters of socialism,
I call them, some nuns, decided to become shareholders with Smith & Wesson for the express intended
purpose of suing them. Yes, they wanted to become shareholders to influence Smith & Wesson and
their manufacturing policy and everything else. And they brought suit or tried to bring suit
against Smith & Wesson twice now. And both times, it has been chunked.
I mean, it had been discarded. The judge threw it out and said, no way. This ain't happening here
in my courtroom. And justifiably so. Smith & Wesson is covered by the PLCAA.
the law that was passed in the wake of Bill Clinton's ungodly presidency, where he tried to sue and
threatened to sue all American gun manufacturers into bankruptcy.
He literally said that on TV. He stood there and said, basically, you get on board with us or the
bankruptcy attorneys are going to be knocking at your door. Frankly, he should have been dragged
out of the White House in handcuffs for that. But, of course, we know that probably would never
happen. But here's an article by John Crump. You can find it posted in AmmoLand.com,
and you should follow them anyway. And here's the article, and it's about how Smith & Wesson has
won. A dismissal, another dismissal, brought by these activist nuns in their anti-gun lawsuit.
So here's the article. In a significant victory for Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc.,
and a setback for shareholder activism targeting the firearms industry, The U.S.
District Court for the District of Nevada issued an order on March 23rd, 2026,
granting the company's motion to dismiss a derivative lawsuit brought by four congregations of
Catholic nuns. Four congregations. Yeah, that's a bunch of sisters.
Again, I call them all sisters of socialism. But in short, what they were trying to do is use their
status. as allegedly holy women to sanctify their lawsuit and,
I guess, hope that a judge would smile upon them kindly and give them the results they wanted.
Now, again, they tried to sue back in 2023, and I covered that back then. If you've been a longtime
listener of the program, I'm sure you caught that episode. The article continues.
Adrian Dominican Sisters, et al., versus Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc.,
et al., illustrates the high bar plaintiffs face when attempting
So again, let me set the stage for this. These sisters,
they became shareholders. They bought shares of stock in Smith & Wesson,
and the whole while they did so expressly for the sake of bringing lawsuits.
against Smith and Wesson, claiming they weren't maintaining their fiduciary duty. They were proven
wrong. The plaintiffs, Adrian Dominican Sisters of Socialism,
my nickname, of course, the Sisters of Bon Secours, USA, Sisters of St.
Francis of Philadelphia, and the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary, U.S.
Ontario Province, owned shares in Smith & Wesson and filed the suit derivatively on the company's
behalf, allegedly. They claimed they were doing it on the company's behalf. They owned shares,
again, because they... bought them for the express purpose of suing Smith & Wesson.
Their core allegation was that the board of directors and senior officers had breached their
fiduciary duties of loyalty and care by, quote-unquote, knowingly allowing the company to
manufacture, market, and sell AR-15-style semi-automatic rifles in ways that allegedly violate
federal, state, and local laws. But, of course, they brought no examples.
And apparently they didn't bring a whole lot of proof because it got tossed. I mean, I didn't read,
I did a lot of research on this and I couldn't find any examples that these sisters produced prior
to filing this or show it, you know, in their discovery process for this suit.
So just empty, ignorant claims that they hoped would stick. They didn't.
The article continues, this exposure, they claimed, subjected Smith & Wesson to massive potential
liability for mass shootings in which the company's products were used.
Well, I guess they never heard of the PLCAA, did they? A fourth claim alleged violations of Section
14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
asserting that the 2024 proxy statement contained false and misleading statements about the board's
oversight of these risks. The suit was not the plaintiff's first attempt.
In December 2023, The same non-congregations filed an almost identical derivative action in the
Nevada State Court. That complaint, drafted with assistance from Newman-Ferrara LLP,
painted a striking picture of alleged corporate misconduct. All of it false accusation,
by the way. And I think that Smith & Wesson should sue the Sisters of Socialism and recoup some of
their attorney's fees. It cited Smith & Wesson's continued promotion of its rifles,
despite their repeated appearance in high-profile mass shootings, arguing...
that the board ignored red flags dating back to 2000 settlement agreement with the U.S.
government and internal monitoring reports. Now, by the way, if you're unfamiliar with that
settlement agreement, that was made with Billy Blue Dress Clinton back during his scandal-laden
administration. Because, again, just to remind you, He threatened the entire gun industry with
bankruptcy if they didn't kowtow to his demands and come to the table and come to some sort of an
agreement. Yeah. In 2000, Smith & Wesson signed a contentious agreement with the Clinton
administration to implement strict gun safety and design controls to avoid lawsuits.
This resulted in severe backlash from the NRA and gun owners,
causing a 40% sales decline, and I remember that very well,
a massive boycott, and the ouster of its CEO and the company's sale.
And yes, by the way, I'm one of the people that boycotted them. I sold every Smith & Wesson handgun
and carbine that I had. I own no more Smith & Wessons. To this day,
it's still a sore spot with me. Sorry, that's just the way I am. If you caved so easily to that
little filthy godless communist pig, Bill Clinton, that you would literally allow him to use you,
to use you as a puppet against the free exercise of our rights,
then no, I don't want your guns in my house. Plain and simple. I own none of them anymore.
So, yeah, they suffered badly for that. Well,
because the Nevada's 8th Judicial District Court noticed that this thing didn't really have a good
standing, they pushed back, and in March 2024, They granted Smith & Wesson's motion requiring that
the Sisters of Socialism post a $500,000 security or surety bond under Nevada Revised Statute 41
.520. The statute allows courts to demand such bonds and derivative actions if there is,
quote, no reasonable possibility. that the suit will benefit the corporation or its security
holders. Well, well, well. In other words, you're probably going to lose this suit,
and we're going to require a bond to make sure that you can pay our attorney's fees when you do.
Fortunately for the Sisters of Socialism, it was dismissed before a judgment could be ruled against
them. Back to the article. Finding the claims lacked merit and were more driven by social policy
than by corporate welfare, the state court set a deadline of April 23, 2024,
and when the plaintiffs declined to post the bond regarding it as an insurmountable barrier,
the case was dismissed without prejudice.
Yeah, they didn't want to have to forfeit that $500,000 bond if they lost the suit,
and they knew it. By the way, as rich as the Vatican is, surely y'all can come up with that.
I digress. Undeterred, they refiled in federal court in February 2025,
adding the federal securities claim in order to invoke diversity and federal question
jurisdictions. So they were invoking diversity. Yeah,
that DEI crap has been weaponized against the American people. something awful.
Applying federal rule of civil procedure 23.1, which governs derivative suits,
the court addressed standing. They said plaintiffs must, number one, own shares contemporaneously
with the alleged wrongdoing, and two, they must adequately represent the interests of similarly
situated shareholders. And while the nuns cleared the ownership hurdle,
the court expressed serious doubts. concerning the adequacy of representation citing nevada
president like cotter versus kane judge navarro weighed eight factors and found the plaintiff's
narrow personal interest in social change over financial gain had a considerable impact against
them. Stockholder proposals on related issues had garnered only 26% support,
suggesting the wider shareholder base did not share. The Sisters of Socialism's priority.
Yeah, that was a very decisive blow. And that came when they found out that their...
Let me read it to you here. The decisive blow, however, came on demand futility.
Under Nevada law, applicable because Smith & Wesson is a Nevada corporation,
shareholders must either make a pre-suit demand on the board or plead with particularly...
with particularity, I'm sorry, why such a demand would be futile. The plaintiffs chose the latter,
alleging the entire board was interested or lacked independence due to ties to the gun industry and
knowledge of alleged violations. Judge Navarro rejected these arguments as conclusory.
She took judicial notice of the 2000 settlement agreement, which explicitly disclaimed Any
admission of wrongdoing, because Smith and Wesson claimed, when they signed that agreement with
Bill Clinton, they said, we are not agreeing to any wrongdoing. We've done nothing wrong.
And Bill said, well, that's no problem. The law, you signed that piece of paper right there.
You're going to be buddies and pals, and all your competition is going to get sued into the
poorhouse, and the bankruptcy attorney is going to be knocking on their door. Mm-hmm.
She took judicial notice of the 2000 settlement agreement, monitoring reports, and the 2024 proxy.
None, she ruled, established actual knowledge of illegal conduct or substantial liability risk.
Well, well, well. Well, you know what really fries me about this is the hypocrisy brought about
here by the Sisters of Socialism. They worship their so-called Holy Father,
the Pope, there in the Vatican in Rome, the city that sits on seven hills,
if you know your book of Revelation. Yeah, I went there.
That man, you understand the security detail that surrounds him?
And yes, I'm shifting into the main meat of the program now. Just a slight segue.
These sisters who are suing gun manufacturers here in the United States,
it's funny how they tend to forget that their also,
quote-unquote, holy father is protected by a myriad of defensive forces.
He's protected against sniper threats, chemical attacks,
even cyber. He's one of the most heavily guarded men on Earth.
His life is guarded by one of the most complex, dynamic, strategic security systems on planet
Earth.
The Vatican walls do offer some sort of a protective shield,
so to speak, while he resides there in the so-called Holy City.
And he's always under threat, though, when he's moving and he's outside the walls of the Vatican.
And it's the same thing with, like, President Trump or any other world leader. Anytime he has to
move and go somewhere, there is a massive security detail that goes to work in every minute
possible background and system imaginable, okay? Now,
you've seen the Popemobile. It's got bulletproof glass around it,
but the top of it is open, and the security forces don't like that because they claim it creates a
vulnerability. But in order to ensure that he's protected from any attack,
every move he makes in that Popemobile is tracked by satellite,
by drones. and by a hyper-elite ground security detail.
The road convoys for the Pope and his movement are mapped in decoy routes in one of the modest
security protection techniques only used by the U.S. Secret Service,
and I'm reading from my notes here. His aircraft is always, at all times,
scanned for explosives,
you know, backup helicopters and emergency evacuation choppers are all on standby during all these
major events. The security for the Vatican is one of the most elite on the planet.
They combine protecting the Pope and what the note says, protecting him and his freedom as a
religious figure. And what about our freedom in interacting with his faithful at any given moment?
And once in 2015, while he was visiting the U.S., Homeland Security designated Pope Francis,
his U.S. visit, with national special security standing.
You know, that's equal to the security afforded to, like,
say, presidential inauguration, State of the Union addresses, and things like that. And got all
these security forces. All of them with their little earpieces in. You've got them on the ground.
You've got them up in towers. You've got them all over the place. You've got drones flying around.
You've got electronic jamming warfare being used against any kind of intrusion there.
You've got the Swiss Guard. They wear these little really pretty colorful clothing.
And these uniforms, and they look really cool. They're kind of a throwback to, you know,
500 years ago or more. But they're very highly trained in hand-to-hand combat. They're also
trained in counterterrorism and rapid evacuation of their principle that they're defending,
which is the Pope. And his additional security details come from the,
I don't know if I'm pronouncing this right, the Gendarmerie Corp. And that's the Vatican's police
force. They handle intelligence, cyber threats, surveillance, and crowd control.
And all of this stuff. And matter of fact, here, get this.
Because he's a global religious leader and an influential geopolitical force.
No, he's not. He's just a man. The Pope, his security is also covered by the CIA.
Mossad and Interpol and many other intelligence agencies that use global intelligence and they
share threat assessments during his movements and everything to ensure that he is protected to the
max because he's such a holy man, allegedly. He's a man just like you and me,
believe me. So, dear sisters of socialism, why is it? your precious little pontiff can have untold
billions of dollars spent on his personal protection, but you believe the citizenry of the United
States must be defenseless victims in waiting, and in every other country, too. I want to know when
you sisters of socialism are going to go ahead and cut a big old check to Smith & Wesson for their
attorney's fees that they had to dole out just for the discovery phase and everything else.
leading up to this dismissed lawsuit. Yeah, I'll hold my breath.
We'll take a brief commercial timeout and we're going to continue with this theme of hypocrisy
where all of these dignitaries, so to speak,
have millions and millions spent on their personal protection while demanding that everybody
beneath them, as they presume, must remain defenseless victims in waiting.

We were talking about the Sisters of Socialism trying to sue Smith & Wesson yet again.
Their case was dismissed. And the reason they were doing that, of course, was to try to cut down on
the sale and manufacture of assault rifles. And I guess they felt that was their religious duty.
And then I pointed out the hypocrisy of all that. And seeing that their so-called Holy Father...
is protected by those same types of weapons. Actually, some of them are fully automatic.
And that the hypocrisy of that, it's okay for you high-ranking,
high-falutin dignitaries to be protected by these sorts of weapons, but you little lowly peons,
you should not have them. Guns for me, but not for thee.
Protection for me, but not for thee. And we're going to continue that theme here as we talk about
an article from Larry Keene with the National Shooting Sports Foundation. An article he wrote
titled, Chicago Mayor's Tax-Funded Security Hypocrisy. Amen. And this is from five days ago,
March 25th. And here's the article. Chicago's latest political controversy is not really about
whether a mayor should have security. Public officials often do. The issue is the now familiar gun
control politician double standard. It's gun control for thee, but not for me.
Politicians in some of the country's most restrictive gun control jurisdictions demand layers of
armed protection for themselves, always at taxpayers' expense. while demanding policies that make
it increasingly harder for law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights to
defend themselves and their families. Now, I'm going to go ahead and just cut in here.
That's pretty infuriating. You think about this. The Chicago taxpayers, in many areas of the city,
which are declared sensitive places, are not able to defend themselves in those parts of the city
and in various parts of the state of Illinois, but they're forced to pay for the heavily armed
security of their mayor. How do you like that? How would you feel about that if you lived in
Chicago? And no, I never would. Yeah. And enter Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson.
You heard that right. One hundred and fifty.
Chicago Police Department officers. Okay, I dare say they could probably be better used,
maybe down in the subways and other high-crime areas. No,
they're protecting one man, and he's a filthy, godless socialist on top of that. Plus...
costs taxpayers roughly $30 million a year. $30 million. Yes,
million blippity-blacking dollars. That's just for those cops pay, okay? And this is all while,
according to the article, Brandon Johnson is claiming that Chicago is safe. Well,
if Chicago is so safe, why does he require $30 million worth of security every year?
And Mr. Keene posed a question. Should $30 million taxpayer dollars be spent on Brandon Johnson's
security? By the numbers, here it is. $22.5 million annually in salaries for the security detail,
plus overtime, plus vehicles and specialized equipment. That tallies up to $30 million,
give or take $100,000 or more or so. According to the report in Illinois Review,
Here's the quote. That makes Johnson's personal protection operation one of the largest for any
mayor in the United States, reportedly larger than that of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass,
who oversees a city nearly twice Chicago's size. For comparison,
former Mayor Lori Lightfoot's detail numbered around 90 officers, a figure that already drew
criticism for his size and expense. Johnson's expanded force represents a massive increase,
even as he continues to insist that Chicago is safe and improving.
Improving at what? In Chicago, Mayor Johnson has backed some of Illinois' most restrictive firearm
policies. After the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in 2023 reversed a lower court's
preliminary injunction against Illinois' so-called ban on so-called assault-style weapons,
as well as the state's magazine restrictions, Mayor Johnson praised the ruling and called the law
an important step that would keep weapons of war out of neighborhoods. And all while his security
detail carries those same weapons of war that he doesn't want the people to have. Yeah. The
practical message to Chicago residents was clear. Government officials and their armed details can
enjoy armed personal protection, but the public should accept tighter limits on the tools of lawful
self-defense. Yeah, not to mention more danger and less protection. Yeah.
So this particular pattern is not new, and it is not limited to Chicago. In 2021,
records show U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock, a filthy godless communist out of Georgia,
spent nearly $137,000 on private armed security, despite his well-known anti-police,
anti-gun rhetoric. In 2024, then-Vice President...
I've got to be nice. I almost said something else. Kamala Harris, questionable personal firearms
ownership and round-the-clock protection stood in obvious tension with the strict gun control
agenda she promoted for everyone else. It was a major platform plank of her failed presidential
campaign. The phrase fits because the facts keep fitting. Gun control for thee,
but not for me. During his failed 2020 presidential campaign, former New York City mayor and gun
control activist Michael Bloomberg was even more straightforward, if not demeaning,
to voters during a televised town hall event. When he was asked if his life was more important than
that of a town hall audience member, Bloomberg did not hesitate. He said,
all right, look, I probably get 40 to 50 threats every week.
That just happens when you're the mayor of New York City, or very wealthy, or campaigning for the
president of the United States. You're going to get lots of threats. Well, I've had threats too.
When I was live on the radio, I had multiple threats. Threats of violence against me.
I don't have an armed security detail. I'm heavily armed at all times,
but fortunately I had other people who sometimes would come to the station and sit out in the
parking lot and just do some recon for me, and they would communicate to me that everything was
clear before I'd walk out. Thank you, Scott Linsley. So he said,
you're going to get a lot of threats. Well, nanny boy, the people of New York have to walk amongst
those threats unarmed. Yeah, the people making those threats.
Actually, they have to walk among far more threats than you will ever have to walk among. In their
minds, the article continues, the threats they may face are far more dangerous than the threats
everyday Americans face while running errands or shopping at the supermarket or attending church
service. The same contradiction has surfaced yet again recently in Los Angeles.
Just days ago, the New York Post reported that Los Angeles City Council member Eunice Hernandez,
a politician associated with anti-police, anti-LAPD defunding policies,
relied on taxpayer-funded police protection for her safety. Isn't that just the height and the
pinnacle of hypocrisy? That report landed in a city where public officials have spent years
cutting, criticizing, or constraining law enforcement while residents are told to accept the
consequences. And he puts in a blurb here, Mr. Keene does, where he says, remember the LAPD's Be a
Good Victim press release? Now, what's he referring to? Well... There was actually a press release
that told people who were probably going to be assaulted in some way, shape, or form,
don't fight back. Just cooperate and comply and be a good witness. How many of you all remember
that? Isn't that something? Yeah, don't fight back. Oh,
ladies, sorry, if you're being raped, don't fight back. If you're having your throat cut after he's
done raping you, don't fight back. Just cooperate and comply while he's killing you or raping you.
or murdering or raping your child, or killing your husband,
or husbands, while they're raping your wife and holding you at gunpoint, just comply and be a good
witness. There you go. That's a good victim.
Los Angeles offered one of the clearest warnings about where this type of politics leads.
In 2021, After the L.A. City Council voted 12-2 to cut $150 million from the police budget,
the Los Angeles Police Department warned residents amid a robbery wave to cooperate and comply and
be a good witness. The message was blunt and accurate. When elected officials weaken public safety
and restrict lawful self-defense at the same time, ordinary residents are the ones left exposed.
Californians noticed. And law-abiding citizens responded, not by embracing the be-a-good-victim
advice, but by choosing lawful firearm ownership instead. Good. That's the way it should be.
This is a real policy divide. Law-abiding Americans do not live inside a taxpayer-funded security
bubble. They do not travel with police details, motorcades, or specialized protection units.
They lock up their homes, protect their families, run small businesses, commute,
worship, and go about daily life with no expectation that a government security cordon will arrive
in a timely manner. That is why the Second Amendment matters. It is not a privilege reserved only
for public office holders. It is a constitutional guarantee for the public. Now,
let me take a sidebar here. That's exactly the same. haughty spirit that infected and contaminated
the British here in America before 1776.
Same exact mindset,
if you will. Isn't that something? Wow.
Reasonable people can debate the size of mayoral security detail or the threat environment
surrounding a major city executive. What's harder to defend is a politician who demands armed
protection for their own security while actively working to restrict the rights of the very
citizens forced to live with the consequences of violent crime. You know,
after they've been a good victim. In gun control strongholds across the country,
anti-gun politicians continue to prove they believe armed security is a necessity for those in
power, but a problem for everybody else. The Second Amendment was not written for mayors,
council members, or political insiders. It was written for the people. and no amount of taxpayer
-funded security can hide the hypocrisy of officials who act like the right belongs only to them.
Isn't that true? You know, all these rank communists just love to wield power over our rights,
telling us that you don't need that type of weapon. You don't need an AR-15.
You don't need a gun that holds more than 10 rounds. And all while they're enjoying taxpayer
-funded protection of huge, heavily armed security details. What about the new governor of
Virginia? Her and scores of other filthy, godless domestic enemies in office up there.
They're attempting to denude the citizenry there in Virginia of very capable arms.
But boy, she enjoys very high... levels of security,
as do all the other governors in all the other states, and especially in the communist-occupied
territories. Love the hypocrisy, don't you? Oh, how about Governor Gavin Newsom?
Oh, his detail is provided by the California Highway Patrol Protective Detail. Matter of fact,
I think there was, what was it? I got a note down here. So $132,000.
for travel with his detail in November of 2022 alone. Just one month. They spent terrific amounts
of funds for out-of-state travel for this governor.
Wow.
He had a bunch of security upgrades. Matter of fact,
in 2021, if you remember, he strengthened security around the California State Capitol Building and
deployed the California National Guard to support California Highway Patrol.
How many millions of dollars did that cost? The whole point of all of this, the whole entire
program is this. These people will spare no expense to protect themselves and their families.
Yes, I will, Royce, they're dignitaries and whatever. That's fine.
I really don't have a problem with you having the protection. What I have a problem with,
is people like Newsom and Lightfoot and Mayor Brandon and all the other filthy,
godless, socialist pigs not only having that security, but then fighting against our right.
to freely keep in bare arms to defend ourselves against those same threats that everybody else
faces on a daily basis. You guys spend so much money protecting yourself from the potential lone
assassin or maybe a team of assassins. We walk among threats every blippity-blanking day,
and we don't get to spend millions of dollars on our personal security or the security of our
families. That's why when all of you scumbags start crowing about gun control and telling us what
we do and don't need gun-wise, it falls on our deaf ears.
Yes, intentionally deafened. We close our ears to bull fertilizer like that because all of you are
full of crap. Yes, protection for you, but not for us. Gun control for thee,
but not for me. We will be armed. But you little peon peasants will not be.
Well, I've got something to say about that. From my cold, dead hands.
I'm not going to give them up. I don't care how many laws you pass. And yes, that is my line in the
sand. That is my Lexington green. I've said it here before. If you come to my door to tell me I've
got to hand you my guns, there's going to be a very loud response.
spoken in staccato-type notes. You're welcome, because that's exactly what you're going to get.
That is my line in the sand. Royce, they'll probably kill you. I don't care.
Diana doesn't scare me. Good grief, man. You're going to threaten me with pearly gates and gold
streets? I don't think so. That's my line in the sand. That should be our line in the sand,
especially when faced with this type of hypocrisy. of these people that think they're worthy of
protection, but we're not. So stay in contact with your reps,
