21:29 < Joe> Yes
21:29 < srevilak> Yes
21:30 <~jokeefe> Topics?
21:31 < Joe> I would like to discuss Ukraine if possible. Nothing in
        depth but Russia is threatening Lithuania now.
21:31 < Joe> Lithuania is a NATO country.
21:32 < Joe>
        https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/21/kaliningrad-russia-threatens-serious-consequences-as-lithuania-blocks-rail-goods
21:33 <~jokeefe> ok
21:34 < Joe> If they follow through, on both sides. That's the start
        of ww3
21:35 <~jokeefe> Yes. Hopefully not.
21:35 < Joe> Agreed
21:36 < Joe> I would prefer to keep it brief because I don't want to
        feed in to either sides propaganda.
21:37 <~jokeefe> Wise
21:37 <~jokeefe> Anything else to discuss?
21:38 < Joe> There is the 2a ban but that is a loaded topic
21:39 <~jokeefe> 2a ban?
21:39 < Joe> Basically the federal government is doing what we already
        have in Massachusetts
21:39 <~jokeefe> The Senate bill?
21:40 < Joe> Yes
21:41 <~jokeefe> Well we can follow up on our previous video now that
        there seems to be a bill.
21:42 < srevilak> I wouldn't quite call it a 2a ban
21:43 < Joe> https://malegislature.gov/Bills/192/H4897
21:44 < Joe> https://malegislature.gov/Bills/192/H4891
21:44 < srevilak> I'm currently a fan of
        https://malegislature.gov/Bills/192/H1448
21:44 < Joe> That is what it's opponents are calling it.
21:44 <~jokeefe> the legislature’s site is so slow
21:45 <~jokeefe> do you want to discuss them during the video?
21:45 < Joe> It always seems to be the case.
21:46 < srevilak> Sure - seems like good subject matter
21:46 < Joe> Yes, those 3 bills are interesting.
21:46 <~jokeefe> https://malegislature.gov/Bills/192/H1448 has
        potential. will look at it more
21:48 <~jokeefe> shall we adjourn, then?
21:49 < Joe> 2nd
21:49 < srevilak> aye
21:49 < srevilak> will post transcript
