Eye On The Target Hour 2
The show discusses national concealed-carry reciprocity, noting that Donald Trump previously stated he would sign such legislation if it reached his desk. Hosts argue it faces challenges in the U.S. Senate, though growing opposition from anti-gun groups suggests the bill has a real chance of advancing. They criticize the Fraternal Order of Police for opposing H.R. 38, saying it misrepresents both state-rights arguments and how easily law enforcement can verify out-of-state permits.

They compare national reciprocity to driver’s license recognition, arguing it would function similarly. The hosts mock claims that police couldn’t verify permits from other states and share anecdotes about interstate ticketing and identification.

The conversation shifts to New York City’s dramatic increase in firearm and concealed-carry permit applications following the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision. With police retirements rising and residents expressing a desire for self-protection, many New Yorkers are shocked by the lengthy and complex permitting process after believing media claims that guns are easy to obtain.

The hosts then review Everytown for Gun Safety’s Thanksgiving messaging, which frames gun-related debates and myths for holiday discussions. They push back against Everytown’s data, arguing that:

• Criminals acquire guns regardless of laws.

• Strong gun laws don’t reduce violence, pointing to Chicago.

• Defensive gun uses—often involving no shots fired—are undercounted.

• Gun-control groups manipulate statistics to fit their narrative.

The segment briefly includes humor, banter between the hosts, commercials, and references to organizations supportive of firearms training and advocacy.

Later, they mention a Queens, NY case where a senior citizen defended himself with a gun but ended up jailed—highlighting what they view as New York’s unjust system for lawful gun owners.
