TFB Podcast Roundup 84: Podcats to Clean Your Guns To
Welcome to TFB Podcast Roundup 84. Spring is usually the time when I get around to going through my entire inventory to check on the general condition of my guns and equipment. During this time pretty much every gun gets a good wipe down, but I also move around some of my accessories and optics to other guns for upcoming reviews or shoots. Either way, while I love the sound of roll pins flying across the room, and bolt carriers slamming home, I usually like to have something else to listen to so I can pass the time. This week I’ll be sharing some podcasts I think you can enjoy while you catch up on some routine firearms maintenance.

The beginning of the week featured another horrible mass shooting in America. This time at a bank in Louisville, Kentucky.
That’s why I wanted to bring on one of the leading experts currently studying mass shootings. Metro State University Professor James Densley is one of the co-founders of The Violence Project, which has the most detailed and comprehensive database of mass shootings dating back to 1966. He is also the co-author of the book by the same name that outlines potential real-world solutions to the phenomenon.
Professor Densley explained why he believes the count they use, which only includes public attacks where four or more people are killed for reasons unrelated to other criminal conduct, gives the most accurate understanding of mass shootings. He said it’s important to properly define terms when you’re attempting to seriously study a problem and identify trends so you can craft solutions.
He laid out some of the common patterns seen in the lives of mass shooters before they carry out their attacks. For instance, he said most shooters have a long history of abuse and trauma before they decide to do the unthinkable. And the shootings almost always follow an inciting incident that sends the shooter into a crisis state.
Densley argued that a potential attacker could be “off-ramped” at any point along that path, whether it’s after they first experience abuse or after they begin experiencing an inciting crisis. What’s necessary is for those who recognize the warning signs to step in and do something to help. And that resources to help are made available and known to those looking to carry out that kind of intervention.
But those aren’t the only interventions Densley believes are necessary. He said firearms restrictions of some kind should be part of the equation as well, especially for those showing warning signs they may be a threat to themselves or others. We go back and forth on why gun-rights advocates and gun owners are not as open to those ideas as Densley would like them to be.
Ultimately, Densley said he believes mass shootings are not an inevitability and can be prevented through action on the individual and societal level–even if not everyone agrees on every aspect of the solutions he proposes.
Plus, Contributing Writer Jake Fogleman and I discuss a new win in court for marijuana users who want to own guns.
On today’s episode of TFB’s Behind The Gun Podcast, we’ve brought back Larry Zanoff! Larry is most well known for his work as a prop armorer for Independent Studio Services (ISS) – a full-service prop house that has a massive inventory of both inert and blank-firing prop guns used in all sorts of blockbuster movies as well as many smaller films and TV shows. Today, Larry shares some great stories and neat facts with us from his time behind the scenes in Hollywood as a prop armorer like his first ever movie he worked on with ISS, some of his favorite guns he’s customized for various TV shows, and movies, as well as some of the smaller projects he works on. He also shares with us some of the struggles that he’s had working with various directors and writers who may not have a complete grasp on realistic uses or applications of firearms, and how he’s seen a trend in the film industry that is starting to move the needle towards realistic depictions, rather than bombastic representations or cheap stand-ins. Towards the end of this episode, Larry also shares some thoughts on the “ Rust Incident” that happened a while back and where he thinks things could have gone differently.
If you want to hear some more stories from Larry’s various projects he’s worked on with ISS, you can check out TFBTV’s interviews with Larry below:

"Podcats": sounds like a B-scifi/horror movie.

Now that they have thumbs, they don't need us anymore. It's time to clean out the litter box.
