ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Former Marines Niels Green and Justin Giles are so passionate about the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms that they've launched a radio talk show in Alaska that's getting a lot of attention.
They call it "The Great Big Gun Show." This is a place for ripping into those who favor gun control, those liberal judges and Democrats - "Demon Rats" as Giles calls them - as well as those "Volkswagen-bus-driving, dope-smoking, Birkenstock-wearing cowards." This is the place to dose up on political incorrectness and sardonic one-liners like "Blaming guns for what happened at Columbine is like blaming spoons for Rosie O'Donnell being fat."
There's no soft-pedaling of sentiments here. Sometimes the points these talk-show hosts make are punctuated with eloquent sound effects, like ricocheting bullets and the rat-a-tat-tat of machine gun fire.
Judging from the calls they get, they're preaching to the choir. After five months on the air, they have yet to get a call from one of those "testoserone-impaired ninnies who suffer from pistol envy."
"They're either afraid to deal with us or there aren't that many of them" is what Green figures.
The hour-long show, which the Great Big Gun guys characterize as "Thomas Jefferson meets Waynes World," airs twice on Sundays on KENI 650 AM and KBYR 700 AM. Giles is the verbal hit man, while Green is the you-got-that-right guy.
