    Why do mass shootings happen so often in the US but not the rest of the industrialized world? Why is it so easy to buy a gun in the US?  Why can I buy a handgun and walk out of the store with my new gun in 25 minutes? Again, I don't have answers but we need to have a conversation about US gun violence. And for goodness sakes, it's a gun problem not a door problem!Also, check out my website www.inthesimplestofterms.com and let me know what topics you would like me to discuss in future episodes.

Student loan forgiveness would improve the lives of so many people and put them in a better financial position. Why don't we glorify the lives lost instead of the mass shooters?!? Why do we have so many mass shootings in this country. What the hell is the “Replacement Theory” and why is it popular with mass murders?!? Unfortunately I don't have answers but maybe this will jumpstart a conversation.Also, check out my website www.inthesimplestofterms.com and let me know what topics you would like me to discuss in future episodes.
