Losing Our Religion

If you're like us, you're tired of the tragedies continuing to plague Americans. After every mass shooting over the last five years, Taylor and I have engaged in the debate over gun control and gun laws.

I, Zac, have been a gun owner for years. Taylor grew up in a family of gun owners but has a different viewpoint from me altogether. I am trying to learn, but will I get rid of my gun/s? That's to be determined. We engage each others points of view and begin to hear and understand where we each other are coming from.

This is a more light-hearted conversation about gun control. We start by hearing Taylor's story, his Lutheran Confirmation, and journey into atheism. We recorded this episode a long time ago. He and I had put this episode on the shelf because we didn't feel like it was as potent as when we would discuss gun control without recording.

Sadly, we even agreed, "Let's not post it until the next mass shooting." Almost like we knew it was inevitable that there would be another. Sadly, we are all aware; there has been another mass shooting. The biggest in American history so far. The Pulse, Orlando Florida, a gay nightclub, and bar.

WE DISCUSS:

• It’s my right to have a gun…
• I have a right to protect my family…
• If the government tries to oppress me, I need my gun to stand up for myself…
• If you own a gun, you’re part of the problem…
• Prayer and thoughts…what do they do?
• Why are cities like Los Angeles and Chicago who have the strictest guns laws the highest in gun deaths?
• Why are all the shootings on schools and campuses which are illegal to carry guns?
• What should the gun restrictions be?
