The sound quality is awful this time. Very scratchy and quiet. |

Yeah, I gave up listening because I just couldn’t make it out without hurting my ears from the scratchiness. |

It was a nice discussion too. I think that with all the extra callers, this format is best suited to discussing one issue thoroughly—very different from our usual podcast because of all the extra input/perspectives. Once we have a clean copy, I encourage everyone who missed it the first time to check it out.
I didn’t want to bring it up late in the podcast since I was enjoying all the other guys more, but I’ve read that the NRA originally tried to block this suit, likely because of the risk it posed of going the other way. Tried to say it shortly after I was put on hold the first time, but the line had already been transferred back to Billy. |

... I’ve read that the NRA originally tried to block this suit, ... I do recall (and meant to bring up) that there was some internecine battle going between the NRA and, I believe, the Institute for Justice about who was going to spearhead the legal challenges. IIRC, the NRA was worried about the District Court for D.C. ruling unfavorably and therefore setting back the national battle. As it turned out (suprisingly to me), the D.C. court got it right. |

"I didn’t want to bring it up late in the podcast since I was enjoying all the other guys more, but I’ve read that the NRA originally tried to block this suit, likely because of the risk it posed of going the other way. Tried to say it shortly after I was put on hold the first time, but the line had already been transferred back to Billy." I alluded to this general line of thought, with reference to "someone" who I’d thought had been linked from Glenn Reynolds. I was wrong, and I’ve tracked it down:"I have no doubt that this is going to the US Supreme Court. This is actually a very high risk gamble. IF the gun ban is struck down, it will have major implications. If not, no gun regulation will be deemed ’unreasonable’." John Lott, linked by Say Uncle.
I imagine the fight for public opinion will be something to see as this thing proceeds.

I listened to the first one but was traveling last night and couldn’t listen... Hopefully the sound issues will clear up.
Are you guys going to expand it beyond 30 minutes? I had considered calling in for the first one, but it’s just such a short amount of time. If you’re getting enough calls to justify extending it to an hour, maybe do 30 minutes per topic? |

Are you guys going to expand it beyond 30 minutes? We may, Brad. As it is we can talk pretty much for about as long as we want, but since it is an announced 30 minute show, we thought we’d try to keep within that time frame so those who are looking for a 30 minute show might be attracted. We’re also interested in experimenting with that amount of time as well. Doing a call in show is a lot different than doing a podcast, or at least it is to me. So we’re planning and trying a little different stuff. Dale has past experience with the format. I, however, am learning as we go.
One difference is, in a podcast, I’m more participant than host. In a call in show, there’s some need to be more host than participant. Balancing that is where the steep learning curve comes in. |
