44. Can our money help with gun violence?
Here’s this week’s letter:
When I was growing up, I knew a few friend’s dads that had guns, but they were old hunting rifles that had been passed down. This was out in the country, so hunting deer was just what some of them did for fun. I don’t know when it happened but it seems like our country has been flooded with guns meant to harm people. I’m really concerned about this. I’ve heard you talk about climate change and poverty and homelessness on your show, but I’ve never heard you talk about guns. What do you think? Can our money help with gun violence?
