Norman Dodd defined "un-American" activities as efforts to change the country through unconstitutional means. This leads to a discussion on gun control and a report from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation regarding the 1996 Port Arthur massacre. The report suggests that the subsequent gun buyback had a debatable impact on long-term firearm homicide rates in Australia.

The Senate vote on the Keystone XL Pipeline is analyzed, focusing on Senator Barbara Boxer's use of a allegedly photoshopped image of a playground near a refinery. The hosts argue that the environmental concerns regarding the Port Arthur refinery are exaggerated and that the pipeline's impact on job creation is being misrepresented by both sides.

President Obama references the 1996 Port Arthur massacre in Australia as a successful example of strict gun control implementation. The hosts clarify that the event did not occur at a school and that while mass shootings decreased, the primary statistical change in Australia was a reduction in firearm-related suicides. They argue the comparison to American constitutional rights is flawed.

The 1996 Australian gun buyback program, led by Prime Minister John Howard, is reviewed. The government levied a special tax to fund the purchase of 700,000 firearms following the Port Arthur massacre. While proponents claim the reform ended mass shootings, the hosts question the long-term cultural impact and the "de-balling" of the Australian national spirit.
