2A Talk - Crazy Canada, CMMG's Bold Stand, and Jordan Salinas' Courageous Example

Jake Merrick's Second Amendment podcast episode (≈24–32 min) contrasts two cultures: Disarmed / "soft" approach – Canadian, Australian, and some U.S. police advice that tells citizens to leave keys out or avoid confronting criminals so they won't get hurt. Armed self-defense culture – Sheriffs in Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi who openly support homeowners shooting back at invaders. He then highlights three real-world examples of the second path: Jordan Salinas (Idaho, Aug 1 2026) – An ordinary healthcare worker who returned fire on a mass shooter at an In-N-Out, helping stop the attack and save lives. CMMG (Missouri gun maker) – Refuses to sell government agencies any guns, mags, or suppressors that ordinary citizens in those states are banned from owning. "No two classes of citizens." Oklahoma's strong 2A culture and a call to the Caddo County Patriot Meeting that night in Hinton (Faith • Family • Freedom). Core message: The Second Amendment isn't about hunting—it's about whether we stay a free people or accept a system with restricted citizens and an exempt ruling class. Show up, speak up, and defend the right at the local level.
