Gun Violence, Gun Rights & Gun Idolatry

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.   Show Notes: -Rand Corporation - Gun Policy in America -Rand Corporation - How Gun Policies Affect Mass Shootings -Malcolm Gladwell (New Yorker) - Thresholds of Violence: How school shootings catch on -French Press - Pass and Enforce Red Flag Laws.
