Hello Internet!

In This Episode:

Weer’d is on vacation again, this time in New England, so Erin is once again in charge of the episode, this time with co-host Oddball. Erin also cut all the audio to make it sound pretty despite some significant hurdles, so please tell her what a good job she did.

• Erin and Oddball contemplate why the media overplays tragedies to the point of dancing in the blood of the dead;
• Weer’d fisks David Hogg’s attempts to increase gun control laws in Maine, of all places;
• In Gun Lovers and Other Strangers, our David (no relation) details the etiquette for selling a gun from his perspective as a gun shop employee;
• and Oddball talks about a pet peeve of his: when gun owners “flex on the poors.”

Hello Internet!

This is another Roundtable episode because Erin got in late from LibertyCon and David, Oddball and Xander all attended as well, so it became an impromptu after-action report of the convention.

We mainly discussed LibertyCon and its events, but there is discussion of a few current 2A topics, and Erin got VERY tired at the end.
