Talking about guns is usually useless.  Nothing makes people take sides faster than this issue. 

That's exactly why the topic can't be avoided. I don't want to live like this. 

Do you?

On this new episode of LIVE FROM MY OFFICE I give you my thoughts, and common sense advice, on guns and America now! My latest Substack lays my argument out in detail. See the links from Substack and a link for tickets to our next stand up show in the show notes.

Thanks for listening.
