Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta get heavy on this one. Today we’re talking about the tragic terrorist action that took place at Mandalay Bay Casino in Las Vegas, NV. We’re talking gun control and politics. We’re talking toxic white masculinity and the domestic terrorism it breeds. This is a rough one, but it’s extremely important that we talk about this. We must talk about guns, we have to talk about access, we have to talk about changing the way we think about guns in this country. Weapons of mass destruction are not a human right. Water is. Air is. Shelter, care, food should be. Guns are not. Period. Get mad.
