Episode notes

i wish the gun debate included more voices of people who have faced threats to their lives without the wealth and resources to employ armed security guards. We should be extraordinarily open a to information or arguments that might contradict our pre existing bioces, i say. I'm not ever going to say it is, and it's based on my value, my christian values, but i'm never going to say, this is the christian position.

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.
