SG:My parents were children when the Nazis took over the land of their birth.
No nation has such a complete set of rights enshrined in its founding documents.
That is why we are blessed to be Americans.
Dr. Gorka has a national radio show with millions of listeners, and it has a special Second Amendment Focus segment every Friday.

An unarmed person is not a citizen.
They are a subject.
Dr. Gorka has served in roles where he advises on the topic of counterterrorism.
President Reagan was right: the extinction of freedom is always but one generation away.

TAL:You clearly appreciate what Springfield Armory is offering.
Dr. Gorka recently acquired a Springfield Armory SAINT Victor Pistol in .308.
Any ideas on what youd like to see new from the company?
