Civil Politics (2/23/18): The Logic of Arming Educators

After the recent town hall, the Florida mass shooting is still fresh in our minds, and our show is dominated on a discussion about firearms. During this we go into a frank discussion about the specific weapon used and its effects on the human body. If you would rather not hear this part of the episode, the time codes marking the beginning and the end of that topic are below. Thank you for listening, and we hope you enjoy this week’s Civil Politics.

  • Start: 28:21
  • End: 42:18
