Gun Violence, Gun Rights & Gun Idolatry
Episode description
This week David and Curtis tackle the tough subject of gun violence. They look at the various tensions between gun rights and gun control and the hyper-polarized responses we are apt to have on one side or the other. They also help us take a step back to think through the "how" of approaching such a complex issue versus just the "what" of our preferred policy outcome.
