Coffee on the Couch

Reasons for interviewing John DeMalia Jr.:Welcoming John DeMalia Jr. on my podcast was a seamless decision rooted in a shared passion for the core tenets of America – a robust Second Amendment, a profound belief in individual rights, and a love for the principles that define our nation. Having experienced his firearms safety course firsthand in 2020, I was captivated by John’s articulate and transparent teaching style. Reconnecting with him for the podcast was an opportunity to bring his seasoned insights to a broader audience, shedding light on crucial issues while offering my listeners a perspective deeply grounded in Pro America values. The twofold benefit of increased exposure for John’s impactful talking points and the acquisition of compelling content made this collaboration truly enriching.

And certainly a refreshing guest!

Excerpts from the podcast

Host: Can you share a bit about your background, including your experience with firearms and your journey to becoming a firearms instructor?

John Demalia Jr: Yeah, sure.So, I’ve been an instructor for a little over 11 years now.I believe I’ve taught around 3,000, maybe a little bit more than that now, Teaching students the basic home firearm safety class.John Demalia Jr: But I also teach some other classes as well, including “live fire” and “a shoot, don’t shoot” classes and a few others.So, I’ve definitely taught a few thousand students at this point.

Host: So, understanding the Second Amendment, in your view, why is the Second Amendment crucial, and what unique role does it play in the United States compared to other countries?

John Demalia Jr: All right. So the Second Amendment, in my opinion, is the most important because that’s the one that allows you to protect and defend all the rest.But basically, the entire Bill of Rights is not a permission slip from the government.It’s saying you as a human being have these rights simply by being alive human being and that the government has no ability to interfere with those rights, and so it’s not saying hey if you’re good, we’re going to let you guys do x do y do z it’s saying we as a government have no authority or right to interfere with any of this natural god-given whatever you’d like to call them rights and the second amendment very clearly states the right to keep meaning own and bear meaning carry arms meaning every single type of weaponry in existence.Shall Not Be Infringed.John Demalia Jr: So, every single gun control law on the books is a direct violation of that right.And what makes it crucial is that the ownership of those firearms is what allows you to protect yourself from a theoretical, tyrannical government that may try to infringe upon those rights.John Demalia Jr: So because we have the ability to own those weapons, it allows us to protect the right.It allows us to prevent the government from coming in and trying to infringe upon any of those rights that are in the Bill of Rights.And other countries just don’t have that.No other country in the world has that.No other country in the world has a Bill of Rights set up that way.It’s a permission slip in other countries.
