    Forrest sits down with Mat the Dane to discuss how the H.R.127 Bill conflicts with the meaning and significance behind the Second Amendment and what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they wrote the latter. They debate about self defense in your home, gun control, and how each of them feel about the glorification of the Second Amendment in certain parts of the country. Is it really necessary to defend your home from attackers with anything more than a simple handgun? Has the limiting or complete restriction of guns in other countries lowered rates of violence? Look no further than here if you'd like to hear a session of civil discourse where those exact questions are asked and debated about.

    Ellen Paige has made the transition into a man named Elliot Page. Though it's nothing new to see people make these kinds of transitions, we found an opportunity in the wake of this news to discuss gender identity and gender theory. When exactly did the concept of gender identity begin in our country and how? What are we to make of it? We delve into these questions and more in a new two-part arc that is sure to have some heads turning. It's time for a history lesson. As a disclaimer, our intention isn't to bully Elliot Page and his decisions. He can do whatever he wants, he's an adult. We are merely fascinated with the concepts surrounding gender identity, how it started, and what our culture has done to shape it. We hope that you will keep an open mind, and agree to disagree if that is your wish. This episode also deals with some pretty sensitive and heavy content, so if you have any kiddies around, we recommend they're not within earshot.
