"Are Guns Bad: Power, Privilege, and Politics" with Matthew Yoder--Called to be Bad Podcast S2 EP30
09/25/23 • 88 min
"In 2020, with all the civil unrest, we reached a tipping point of there being more guns than people."
In this episode of Called to be Bad I talk all things guns with Mennonite pastor, adrenaline junkie, and "aspiring pacifist" Matthew Yoder. We discuss how the stories we tell ourselves about power, privilege, and politics all affect gun sales. This is a lengthy episode that is only part one of a two-part series. In part two, we dive deeper into the gun problem in America. How can we bridge the liberal/conservative divide in order to save lives?

"Part of the gun problem in America--the proliferation of guns--has as much to do with policy making approches by Democratic officials as it does pro-gun Republicans..."
In part two of this two-part series on guns, I talk with Matt Yoder further about gun ownership and the spiritual issues behind the gun problem in America. We talk about "protecting" vs. "connecting" and SO MUCH MORE. Enjoy this long, chatty,

For the preparedness-minded among us, this video lists minimum essential equipment that everyone living in a society with a gun problem like ours should carry with them at all times, and excellent instruction on how to use it. I carry most of these items on my person all day every day (in my man-purse). CW: contains brief descriptions of physical trauma.

Regular training is a necessary companion to the right equipment. I recommend participating in a "Stop the Bleed" training annually at minimum, quarterly or more if possible. CW: website contains some content related to physical trauma.
