Scottsdale, AZ, June 12, 2011A relentless campaign is being waged against the right to keep and bear arms, with gun control edicts falsely painted by ambitious politicians as needed crime-fighting tools. These attacks against a basic right are cheered on by well-funded lobbyists and an almost universally-sympathizing mainstream media. Scottsdale-based radio station KBSZ 1260s new program, The War on Guns: Notes from the Resistance, debuts on June 13 in the 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. time slot to provide a much-needed voice to counter and refute those who demand citizen disarmament, and to argue instead for freedom.
Hosted by long-time magazine/Internet columnist and gun rights activist David Codrea, The War on Guns will give Scottsdale/Greater Phoenix metro-area listeners regular updates and analyses on the stories of the day, using a mix of breaking headlines, commentary and interviews. Emerging legislative threats will be explored, as well as setbacks and victories in the continuing struggle to guard against Second Amendment infringements.
While pro-gun programming has been around for some time, typically, on weekends, this will be the first time anyone has pioneered a show dedicated to these issues in a major market on weekdays, during the heavily-listened-to drive time period, KBSZ station manager John Low announced.

Much as I'd like you to be right, I suspect that a show with such a narrow focus will not have a wide audience, and without the numbers in the audience shows (other than "public" radio where no matter how rotten they never go away - see Tavis Smiley) tend to fail.
KBSZ is an 800 watt station that barely makes it into Glendale.
