Good Talks: A Better Way To Discuss 2nd Amendment, Gun Control, Gun Rights, & Mass Shootings w/ Benjamin Ayanian

Our guest today is the returning Benjamin Ayanian who joins us for a in depth and grown folk talk about guns, the 2nd Amendment, gun control, legislation, policy and cultural debate thereof. Benjamin talks mass shootings, discusses his writing on "good guy with a gun" and whether or not that is a scalable solution, the lessons we should be learning from headline making events, and how reactionary policy aimed at the news cycle almost always misses the core problems and issues. Benjamin and Andrew also have a frank discussion about how the news media online debate over firearms is overly influenced by the extremes of each side, how gun control advocates need to square their message with police failures to protect, distrust in government, and surging ownership numbers and contrast those to how the "ammo sexual" stereotypes and memes and aggresive gun owner behavior online isn't helping 2A advocates make their case, and how the vast spectrum of folks in the middle get lost in the debate.
