Eye on the Target - TARGETHING - Talking Guns

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.

They compare national reciprocity to driver’s license recognition, arguing it would...

Eye on the Target - TARGETHING - Talking Guns

The hosts, Amanda Suffolk and Rob Campbell, open Eye on the Target Radio with updates on recent community activism around local zoning changes. Their township attempted to insert anti-gun regulations, safety rules, and even restrictions impacting Amanda’s earth-sheltered home into the zoning manual. A large public turnout at earlier meetings caused officials to table the gun-related proposals, but the community wasn’t satisfied. Amanda and Rob organized neighbors, distributed information, researched options, and brought in statements from organizations like the Ohio Citizens Defense...

Eye on the Target - TARGETHING - Talking Guns

The hosts discuss AI-based gun-detection systems that are being installed in some schools as an alternative to traditional metal detectors. These systems are intended to distinguish regular metal objects from firearms, but real-world performance has been problematic. A school in Baltimore had major false positives, including an incident where police drew guns on a student because the AI flagged a bag of Doritos as a weapon. Another event involved officers pulling guns on multiple students, only to later find no firearm at all. The hosts argue that such technology creates a false sense of...

Eye on the Target - TARGETHING - Talking Guns

The hosts of Eye on the Target Radio, Amanda and Rob, open the show with light banter about AI describing Rob as “unenthusiastic,” which leads to humorous discussion about their personalities. They then shift to a local controversy in their small rural township, where proposed zoning changes attempted to restrict gun use, hunting, and even home and building designs. The proposals triggered strong community pushback, especially from gun owners, resulting in many of the controversial provisions being struck from the document. A newspaper article reported these rollbacks, but concerns remain...

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.
