The Heart and the Gun

"Problem is the human heart, not guns" - Mike Johnson (courtesy of AXIOS)

That’s your new Republican Speaker of the House, and what he thinks about gun control Asked about additional legislation, he pulled out the old tried-and-true Republican rebuttle: now is not the time. When is the time?

We started this podcast project in response to the shootings at Black Live Matter rallies a few years ago. As a group, collectively we three former Marines would much rather complain about issues that require long-term focus and concentration. We’d prefer not to talk about issues for which there exist commonsense solutions that over 70% of Amerians agree with, yet are still being blocked by petty wannabe tyrants.

What else can you call people who openly subvert the will of the people? In Oregon, we’re only finally clearing a legislative battle of almost two years just to try to get folks to register their firearms and create more rigorous background checks. Guess who is holding that law up? You got it. You’re same folks who, somehow, think that doing nothing about an issue is the same thing as doing something about it (yes, that’s exactly as stupid as it sounds).
