ELL 60: Are Progressives Actually Causing More Mass Shootings?
On this week’s Electric Libertyland, Brian McWilliams gives his take on gun violence in America in regards to mass shooting events, and why any debate on taking away the right to bear arms is completely pointless. Is mental health behind these events or is it a culture fostered by the people who hate guns the most? It’s not all doom and gloom though, as Brian also discusses the comically irrelevant Mueller Russia indictments and the author of “Democracy Unchained” linking autism with being libertarian. @BrianMcWilliams @LionsofLiberty Learn more about your ad choices.
