10: Firearms in America
Today's episode was supposed to be an AMA, but over the past few weeks a topic has been coming up more and more and the question I keep getting asked is, "When are you going to do an episode about guns?"
In a lot of preparedness plans especially in the US, guns are usually a topic of discussion. America is gun culture, the world is fascinated by it.
In this episode I try and dive into how guns have been woven so tightly into the fabric of America, and thoughts on how to stop the senseless violence in America.
