Gun Control & The Second Amendment
We live in a nation with more guns than citizens. The subject of gun control is a hot button topic which has been at the forefront of our political discussions since 1791 when the United States Constitution was ratified to include the second amendment. In today's episode, we breakdown the history of gun control measures, what the second amendment actually means, and if the 40k/year gun death statistic stands accurate when pressed for examination. Enjoy and thank you for the continued support of the Livewire Politics Podcast!
