Episode Details

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.
