Dollar Stores as Economic Indicators, 2A Issues, PACT Act Update, Wiffle Ball, w/ Gabriella Hoffman

Your Heard Tell for Tuesday, August the 2st, 2022 is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern the time we live in by talking through some economic numbers showing that folks are increasing their grocery buying at discount dollar stores while cutting back on larger chains and traditional grocers, we'll talk about the real life impact of folks scaling back among inflation and the practical application of cost of living issues. We update the PACT Act legislation mess, with Senator John Cornyn giving the game away as to why Republicans voted down the measure in a procedural vote while at the president's Twitter account, we'll turn down the noise of days of outrage and accusations to get to what is really going on. Our guest today is the returning Gabriella Hoffman of Young Voices and the District of Conservation podcast. We talk the aftermath of the gun legislation that passed congress, the new press for another assault weapons ban, and 2nd Amendment issues both in response to the headlines and as part of an election year cycle. Gabriella also breaks down some of the legal wrangling over gun control, such as the the Bruen and Heller decisions, what the current makeup of the court means for gun control, and the press for wider concealed and open carry rights. We aslo talk about the whether the rhetorical link between gun control and hunting/conservation has an effect on 2A issues, and how conservationist and hunters shape the issue. Plus, a wiffle ball field that is not only spreading joy for playing but also raising some serious funds for very worth causes. All that and more on this Tuesday edition of Heard Tell.
