UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: To all the haters who are watching the page right now, I hope this display of American love for freedom triggers all of you.
LISA HAGEN, HOST:
There's something changing in this country about the way we see guns, and that change isn't coming from the National Rifle Association.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #2: The NRA is selling you out.
CHRIS HAXEL, HOST:
We want to tell you about a movement that's growing inside the gun world.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #3: Every single time the government has a complete registration of firearms, genocide happens.
HAGEN: One that's unrecognizable to a lot of gun owners.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #4: And I don't think anybody has ever - ever - said that I was weak on my belief of Second Amendment rights.

HAXEL: It's a story about three brothers from a tiny speck of a town.
(SOUNDBITE OF HUMPMUSCLE SONG, "FEAR ME (FOR I AM HUGE AND MADE OF METAL)")
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #5: Come join the biggest, nastiest, most-hated gun rights organization in Iowa.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "FEAR ME (FOR I AM HUGE AND MADE OF METAL)")
HUMPMUSCLE: (Singing) Fear me for I am huge and made of metal, yeah.
HAXEL: A decade in, it's not just Iowa.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #6: If you're in Minnesota, join Minnesota Gun Rights. If you're in Ohio, join Ohio Gun Owners and the Wisconsin Firearms Coalition.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #7: You need to support organizations that take political two-by-fours across the mouths of these politicians at election time.
(SOUNDBITE OF HUMPMUSCLE SONG, "FEAR ME (FOR I AM HUGE AND MADE OF METAL)")
HAGEN: Their ideas aren't new. Sharing them has just gotten easier.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #8: People watch live videos longer, and they comment more than 10 times as much as on regular videos.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #9: I think it's a call to action for people to use violence. There really is no other conclusion you can come to.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #10: Does it seem like government is starting to turn on the people a little bit?
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #11: But it sure gets the likes on Facebook.
HAGEN: I'm Lisa Hagen.
HAXEL: And I'm Chris Haxel. We're the hosts of NO COMPROMISE, a new investigative podcast from NPR.
HAGEN: Tell me what shall not be infringed means to you.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #12: That means that the government has no authority to restrict the keeping and bearing of arms. I mean, that's what the Second Amendment says, that...
HAGEN: Whatsoever - is that where you're coming from?
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #12: Yes, it is.
HAGEN: Like, are all gun laws unconstitutional?
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #12: Yeah, I would say that. I would say that.
HAGEN: We take you inside the world of American gun rights activism and explore a side of it you've probably never heard of.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #13: We have an absolute divine right from God and enshrined in our Constitution to keep and bear firearms.
HAXEL: And the more we learn, the more we realize gun politics are not what you think, whether you love guns or want nothing to do with them.
HAGEN: Join us for NO COMPROMISE. The series starts September 8. Subscribe now wherever you get your podcasts.
