This week, Luke is joined by Ohh That's Rich for a conversation that starts with a man who murdered his family with a gun he never should've had, and extremists pushing laws that would criminalize…

And I see on The Washington Post that in the first two days of June, there had already been three families that had been murdered by entitled, uh, entitled men, entitled armed men.
And so I started clicking in and learning about these, and the one that really pissed me off was, um, a guy named...
I, yeah.
Yep.
[laughs] Um, uh, Ryan Willis McFarland, um, because Iowa state Republicans passed a constitutional carry law in 2021 that made it so that private gun dealers could sell guns to people without doing a background check, and as long as they didn't ask the person, "Are you a murderer? Do you have felonies?" As long as you just didn't ask, a little don't ask, don't tell for, for MAGAs, you could legally sell them a gun.
And because of this, uh, Ryan Willis McFarland bought a gun even though he had a felony for armed robbery in the '90s, a felony for burglary in the '90s, and in 2011, a baby died in his care because he put the baby face down in a pill- on a pillow in a crib and walked away while he was the operator of the daycare.
So then he goes and he buys a gun, and on, I think it was on June 2nd, he, uh, killed six members of his family, including a whole bunch of his kids, before taking his own life, um, due to what police are calling a domestic related dispute.
And if I-
If I, if I remember from reading about this right, 'cause it's actually, I'm in Iowa, it's in my home state-
... one kid happened to not be around, not be able to be found-
... and is the sole survivor of this entire family, and is now living with the consequences of his garbage fucking dad-
... murdering his entire family.
With a weapon he should never have been able to have.
But he was able to legally buy, and even still to this date, from what I can tell, the, if they do track down whoever sold him that gun, that person didn't even break the law, so long as that person didn't have, like, reasonable suspicion-
Right
