In this episode, we talk all about gun ownership: how it differs in white and Black communities, its association with conservatism, white entitlement, and more. We reflect on the circumstances of Breonna Taylor’s killing, share personal stories about gun violence, and discuss the cycle of mass incarceration in America. Also, protecting your family, hunting, accidents, and Japanese murder hornets.
