🎙️ Minneapolis Shooter and My Documentary

In this episode of the Guns For Everyone Podcast, Edgar Antillon and Isaac dive into two important — and controversial — topics: the recent Minneapolis shooting and Edgar’s long-awaited documentary project on mental health and firearms.

The conversation starts with the fallout from Glock’s troubling support for certain gun control measures in Oklahoma, a move many in the 2A community view as a betrayal. Edgar and Isaac break down why major gun manufacturers sometimes cave to liability concerns and how this sets dangerous precedents for the future of firearm rights.

The discussion then shifts to the tragic Minneapolis shooting. The hosts reflect on the immediate political reactions, the misuse of the tragedy by those unfamiliar with firearms, and the broader challenges of addressing violence without punishing responsible gun owners.

Finally, Edgar shares updates on his upcoming documentary, a project six years in the making. Building on his first film Rhetoric: All Talk, No Action, this new work focuses on mental health, suicide prevention, and the fear many gun owners face when seeking help due to red flag laws. Edgar emphasizes the need for community-driven solutions over government intervention and highlights the organizations and individuals working on the front lines of these issues.

🔑 Key Takeaways

  • Glock’s support of Oklahoma legislation restricting conversion devices sparks concern in the 2A community.
  • The Minneapolis shooting renews calls for restrictions, often from those without an understanding of firearms.
  • Edgar’s documentary explores the intersection of mental health and gun ownership, challenging both the stigma of seeking help and the failures of government policy.
  • Community-driven solutions, not government mandates, are the key to reducing negative firearm outcomes.
