Episode 91. What Are Individual Rights?
Show Notes:
Episode 91. What Are Individual Rights?
This episode explores the concept of individual rights and its distinction from welfare rights and collectivistic identity-based rights. Alex Ooley shares an article by Patrick Carroll and Dan Sanchez called, “What are Individual Rights?”
It discusses the philosophy of individual rights, drawing from John Locke's views on ownership rights. The incompatibility of positive and negative rights is examined, highlighting the limitations and violations of individual rights that come with welfare rights. The flaws of collectivistic identity-based rights movements are also explored. The benefits of upholding individual rights, including economic prosperity and harmonious relationships, are emphasized. The episode concludes by addressing the misuse of the term 'rights' and the need to rediscover the original Lockean paradigm of rights.
Takeaways
Individual rights are distinct from welfare rights and collectivistic identity-based rights.
Ownership rights, particularly self-ownership, are foundational to individual rights.
Positive rights, such as welfare rights, contradict negative rights and violate individual rights.
Collectivistic identity-based rights movements have deviated from the classical liberal tradition of individual rights.
Upholding individual rights promotes harmony, cooperation, and fair dealing in society.

Episode 86. Lock, Stock, and Barrel: The Origins of American Gun Culture by Clayton Cramer
Show Notes:
Episode 86. Lock, Stock, and Barrel: The Origins of American Gun Culture by Clayton Cramer
Alex Ooley interviews Clayton Cramer, author and professor of history, about his work on American gun culture and the impact of recent Supreme Court decisions. They discuss the implications of the Bruen decision and the constitutional standards for gun laws. They also explore historical analogues and the lack of evidence supporting the prohibition on people subject to domestic violence restraining orders.
The conversation highlights the importance of accurate historical research in understanding gun culture and the Second Amendment. In this conversation, Clayton Cramer discusses the historical laws and cultural practices that required gun ownership in early America. He highlights laws that mandated firearms possession in churches, for self-defense, and for protection against Indian attacks. Cramer also emphasizes the importance of hunting as a reason for gun ownership. He refutes the notion that gun culture was created by gun manufacturers through marketing, and he warns against the dangers of fake history. Cramer shares his process of collecting source material for his book and discusses his involvement in various gun-related legal cases.
Takeaways
The Bruen decision has put states with restrictive gun laws on notice that there is a right to bear arms for self-defense outside of the home.
Gun laws must conform to the standards recognized in 1791 when the Second Amendment was ratified.
There is a lack of historical analogues to support the prohibition on people subject to domestic violence restraining orders.
The destruction of the mental health system has contributed to the increase in mass murders in recent years.
Early American colonies had laws and cultural practices that required gun ownership for various purposes, including attending church and participating in the militia.
Hunting was a significant reason for gun ownership in early America, as the land was abundant with wildlife.
Fake history can be dangerous and misleading, and it is important to consult original source material to understand the true historical context.
Gun culture in America predates the marketing efforts of gun manufacturers and has deep roots in the country's history and culture.
Clayton Cramer has been actively involved in legal cases related to gun rights, providing expert declarations and rebuttals to support the Second Amendment.

United States v. Rahimi -- Oral Argument (November 7, 2023)
United States v. Rahimi (oral argument)
Issue: Whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8), which prohibits the possession of firearms by persons subject to domestic-violence restraining orders, violates the Second Amendment on its face.
Summary
The Supreme Court hears arguments in the case of Rahimi, which challenges the constitutionality of 18 USC 922(g)(8), a federal law that disarms individuals subject to domestic violence protective orders. The main issue at hand is whether the law violates the Second Amendment. The government argues that the law is necessary to protect against the danger posed by armed domestic abusers, while the respondent argues that the law is unconstitutional. The Court explores the definitions of law-abiding and responsible citizens, the historical context of disarming dangerous individuals, and the factors that determine dangerousness in domestic violence cases. The Court also addresses the duration and permanence of protective orders, the role of historical analogues in interpreting the Second Amendment, and the methodology used by lower courts in analyzing gun control measures. The conversation in this case revolves around the constitutionality of Section 922(g)(8), which prohibits individuals subject to a domestic violence protective order from possessing firearms. The discussion covers topics such as the distinction between facial and as-applied challenges, the historical tradition of disarming dangerous persons, and the due process rights involved in protective order proceedings. The court explores the scope of disarming dangerous persons and the potential implications of the arguments presented. Ultimately, the court must determine whether Section 922(g)(8) violates the Second Amendment.
Takeaways
The government argues that Section 922(g)(8) is necessary to protect against the danger posed by armed domestic abusers.
The Court explores the definitions of law-abiding and responsible citizens and their relevance to the Second Amendment.
The Court considers the historical context of disarming dangerous individuals and the factors that determine dangerousness in domestic violence cases.
The Court addresses the duration and permanence of protective orders, the role of historical analogues in interpreting the Second Amendment, and the methodology used by lower courts in analyzing gun control measures. The court must consider the distinction between facial and as-applied challenges when analyzing the constitutionality of a statute.
The historical tradition of disarming dangerous persons is a key factor in determining the constitutionality of firearms regulations.
Due process rights play a significant role in protective order proceedings and the disarmament of individuals subject to such orders.
The court must balance the individual's right to possess firearms with the government's interest in preventing domestic violence and protecting public safety.

Episode 81. Drug Decriminalization and Oregon Measure 110
Show Notes:
Episode 81. Drug Decriminalization and Oregon Measure 110
In this episode, Alex Ooley discusses some common critiques of drug decriminalization and legalization as well as some recent news on Oregon Measure 110, which decriminalized drugs.
Summary
The conversation discusses the criticism and defense of drug decriminalization in Oregon. It highlights the misleading claims and propaganda used by critics to create fear. The inaccurate statistics and fear-mongering are debunked, and the focus shifts to the government's control and the loss of freedom. The discussion explores the shift from criminalization to the true shortcomings of Measure 110. The failure of the war on drugs is examined, along with the impact of legalization versus decriminalization. The cost of the war on drugs, loss of liberties, and police misuse are addressed. The conversation concludes by emphasizing the need for full legalization and the moral principle of self-ownership.
Takeaways
Critics of drug decriminalization often use misleading claims and propaganda to create fear.
The war on drugs has been a failure, costing trillions of taxpayer dollars and leading to increased crime and death.
Legalization, rather than decriminalization, is necessary to eliminate the black market and ensure safer, regulated drugs.
The government's control over personal choices and the loss of individual freedom are concerning aspects of drug policy.

Show Notes:
Episode 76. Ten Natural Steps to Training the Family Dog with Matthew Duffy (Part 2)
In this episode, Alex Ooley continues his discussion with Matthew Duffy about Duffy’s book, Ten Natural Steps to Training the Family Dog: Building a Positive Relationship.
If you are an average dog owner looking for answers to your dog-training needs, then it’s time to take the Ten Natural Steps to Training the Family Dog. Whether you’ve finally taken the plunge and adopted a puppy or dog but have no idea how to train it or make it a member of your family, or whether you have a dog that has been unruly for months or years, this is the book for you! Thousands of people just like you have gone to Matthew Duffy, a 30-year veteran dog trainer, for help. And just as they were able to take control of their dog using Matthew’s techniques in Ten Natural Steps to Training the Family Dog, you will too! This straightforward book, which is centered around positive reinforcement, teaches you the techniques and step-by-step instruction you need to train your dog effectively and quickly. The training techniques outlined in the book apply equally well to all breed types and ages.
In Ten Natural Steps to Training the Family Dog, Matthew teaches you: •how to transform a rambunctious dog into a composed family member without the use of negative emotion; •how to develop self-control in your dog without the use of formal commands; •how to manage your dog’s behavior when challenged by distractions; •how to teach the five basic formal commands, step by step; •how to better understand the way your dog thinks; and •the basic principles of shaping your dog’s behavior. A Message from Matthew “The head of the average family I deal with often falls short on enough time to comfortably manage all the aspects of pack living: too little time for the kids and spouse, even less time for himself or herself, and next to no time for the dog. In our amped-up American lifestyle, we have so much on our daily plate that there is little room left for any additional challenge, like owning a dog. How sad it would be to miss out on such a rewarding and ancient relationship. This has been my job over the past three decades: helping families minimize the challenge of dog ownership so that it fits on their daily plate. Honestly, with a few environmental controls and the right kind of relationship development, anyone can enjoy a canine companion as the first breeders intended: an animal uniquely developed to live among people.”

Episode 74. Ten Natural Steps to Training the Family Dog with Matthew Duffy (Part 1)
Show Notes:
Episode 74. Ten Natural Steps to Training the Family Dog with Matthew Duffy (Part 1)
In this episode, Alex Ooley is joined by Matthew Duffy to discuss his book, Ten Natural Steps to Training the Family Dog: Building a Positive Relationship.
If you are an average dog owner looking for answers to your dog-training needs, then it’s time to take the Ten Natural Steps to Training the Family Dog. Whether you’ve finally taken the plunge and adopted a puppy or dog but have no idea how to train it or make it a member of your family, or whether you have a dog that has been unruly for months or years, this is the book for you! Thousands of people just like you have gone to Matthew Duffy, a 30-year veteran dog trainer, for help. And just as they were able to take control of their dog using Matthew’s techniques in Ten Natural Steps to Training the Family Dog, you will too! This straightforward book, which is centered around positive reinforcement, teaches you the techniques and step-by-step instruction you need to train your dog effectively and quickly. The training techniques outlined in the book apply equally well to all breed types and ages.
In Ten Natural Steps to Training the Family Dog, Matthew teaches you: •how to transform a rambunctious dog into a composed family member without the use of negative emotion; •how to develop self-control in your dog without the use of formal commands; •how to manage your dog’s behavior when challenged by distractions; •how to teach the five basic formal commands, step by step; •how to better understand the way your dog thinks; and •the basic principles of shaping your dog’s behavior. A Message from Matthew “The head of the average family I deal with often falls short on enough time to comfortably manage all the aspects of pack living: too little time for the kids and spouse, even less time for himself or herself, and next to no time for the dog. In our amped-up American lifestyle, we have so much on our daily plate that there is little room left for any additional challenge, like owning a dog. How sad it would be to miss out on such a rewarding and ancient relationship. This has been my job over the past three decades: helping families minimize the challenge of dog ownership so that it fits on their daily plate. Honestly, with a few environmental controls and the right kind of relationship development, anyone can enjoy a canine companion as the first breeders intended: an animal uniquely developed to live among people.”
