We're a package in today.

That is rad.

So we'll be putting these to good use.

He's going to hold it hostage.

And as I got pulled up, I got asked something, and I want to pause this to make sure that AI picks it up for a clip.

So I got asked a question about what it was that, uh, you know, came about when, Hey, what's the biggest issue plaguing the gun owner, your gun world right now.
