Jocko reminisces about his time with SEAL Teams, where they heavily utilized H&amp;K weapons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He highlights the MP5 as a top choice for home defense due to its accuracy and because the right 9mm ammo won&#8217;t over penetrate.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conversation takes a turn towards California&#8217;s gun laws, which Jocko and Echo criticize for their lack of practicality and understanding of firearms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Echo points out how some rules are based on a superficial understanding of guns, leading to pointless regs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-wyoming-stands-up-for-gun-privacy\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wyoming-stands-up-for-gun-privacy\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"jocko-some-gun-laws-are-stupid\" title=\"Jocko: Some Gun Laws Are Stupid\">Wyoming Stands Up for Gun Privacy<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jocko illustrates this by discussing the absurdity of the law against pistol grips in California. Manufacturers simply alter the design minimally to comply, rendering even the spirit of the law ineffective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He criticizes the lawmakers for not understanding the basics of firearms, noting how easily criminals can modify a gun to circumvent these rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The duo also delves into the perception of guns, with Echo mentioning how certain firearms are deemed &#8220;menacing&#8221; based solely on their appearance, irrespective of their functionality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They argue that this superficial approach underscores just how clueless politicians are when it comes to guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jocko concludes this part of the chat by questioning the real intent behind such laws.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not even sure they know what they&#8217;re trying to accomplish,&#8221; says Jocko.  &#8220;You know, often it&#8217;s said that what they&#8217;re trying to accomplish, is just no one can have any guns&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, what can we say except, Jocko&#8217;s not wrong.  Gun control fundamentally targets the wrong group: it disarms the law-abiding, not the criminals.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@JockoPodcastOfficial\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"jocko-some-gun-laws-are-stupid\" title=\"Jocko: Some Gun Laws Are Stupid\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong><em>*** <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"jocko-some-gun-laws-are-stupid\" title=\"Jocko: Some Gun Laws Are Stupid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a> ***<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent episode of the Jocko Underground Podcast, host Jocko Willink and co-host Echo Charles embark on a candid discussion about firearms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":158,"featured_media":200237,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,25,240],"tags":[132,607,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-200236","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-this-week","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Jocko: Some Gun Laws Are Stupid<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Listen to Jocko Willink and Echo Charles discuss firearms on the Jocko Underground Podcast.
