The Missing Conversation

Thinking Outside the Box on Gun Safety in America - Episode 59


Listen Later

Continuing the conversation this week Robert and Dave focus on one of the many issues that are dividing our country today, gun safety. They look at the most sincere elements from each political party to take the best potential inspiration from both approaches to serve The United States. The extreme ends of the left and right are pretty well excluded from this discourse as they only seem to polarize. It is emphasized that President Trump and all those that helped him in the various conspiracies and violations to democracy are excluded. Robert holds a strong view that he and his accomplices need to be tried on multiple accounts and if what appears evident, they need to be put in jail. Instead, the show strives to strike a balance between individual freedom and collective responsibility to support our evolving democracy. 

Thinking outside the box, Robert will be exploring an alternative narrative and a clarification of what the Second Amendment is trying to provoke. According to Justice Burger, the Second Amendment is about protecting states for the public good and the innocent. Between the years 1999 and 2020, more kids between 1 and 19 died of gun deaths than any other cause. Robert proposes that based on the assumption of the goodwill of gun owners a vast protection network should be created to be called upon in times of crisis. We cannot do what other countries have done. We cannot just buy the guns back. Instead, we can channel the goodwill of existing gun owners and harness it for protecting the whole state as envisioned by our founders.

These podcasts are attempting to foster a well-regulated militia for the benefit of the people. Robert and Dave work within the framework of the state that the U.S. is in right now. It could be one of the keys that help heal the division between Republicans and Democrats. However, it is really up to you and me as citizens to start to loosen up our rigid black and white thinking to empower our leaders to take bold action. We need to transform our addiction to being against, to be for. Imagine with us, regulated, dedicated gun-owning volunteers overwhelmingly good-natured, heroic, like our soldiers, and willing to risk their lives for the benefit of the innocent in our country.
