#46 After Dark - Oregon Measure 114: High-Capacity Magazine Ban & Permit To Purchase with Black Flag Armory CEO John Humpton
In this episode, I sat down with John Humpton who owns Black Flag Armory in Medford Oregon. I reached out to John to discuss measure 114 and bring insight to the 2A community and how quickly gun laws could change in your state. We discuss the impact of measure 114 and how it will affect citizens if passed. John describes the measure as “intentionally deceptive” and after listening you’ll know exactly why. Although the measure advertises “required background checks” to voters there are a few things that are included on the backend: limited magazine sizes & specialised training that is controlled by the state! This would essentially eliminate the 2nd amendment right we all have - obviously this is very problematic. Oh and by the way… the training doesn’t EXIST and there are currently no qualified instructors in the state of Oregon. Tune in for our perspective as well as insight into what John Humpton and Black Flag Armory are doing in Medford.Red Dot Fitness Training Programs: https://www.rdftrainonline.comOnline membership (Full Access To All Programs & Virtual Coaching):https://www.reddotfitness.net/online-membershipVirtual Coaching:https://www.reddotfitness.net/virtual-coachingSelf-Guided Programs:https://www.reddotfitness.net/Self-Guided-Programs1Connect With Us:Website - https://ironsightspodcast.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ironsightspodcast/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@ironsightspodcast
