51. More guns, more violence

 

The NRA tells us the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. How’s that working for us? Americans own more than 300,000,000 firearms, and we suffer over 40,000 gun homicides and suicides annually.

Does the Second Amendment provide unbridled gun rights? Can limits be imposed without running afoul of the Second Amendment? Why doesn’t the background check system cover private sales? Why are legislatures putting the obligation of school safety on teachers? Does the ownership of more guns nationwide in and of itself lead to more gun violence? Listen to what Jack & Gonzo have to say.
