Gun control and gun rights …these terms in America, regardless of your political ideology, can invoke an aggravating response and be very triggering. 
 Typically if you're conservative, you feel the liberals are out to take your guns away. And if you're liberal, you feel conservatives care more about guns than human life. 
  
 But should guns be a partisan issue at all? We're going to ask a lot of questions in this episode. So please send us your thoughts by email or Instagram. It's very important to us to hear your thoughts and opinions.  The Questions: - What are the solutions? - Can we we stop mass shootings or at the very least reduce them? - Should there be background checks? - Should there be age restrictions? - Should there be a limit to how many guns you can own? - Should there be a limit to what kind of gun you can have? - Should we be allowed to carry them on us wherever we want? - Do we have to reveal it or can it stay hidden? - How many can one walk around with? - Can you just carry twenty armed guns on you walking down the street or is one the limit? - Should schools be no gun zones? - Should any public place be no guns zones? But my biggest question for those that think we need more guns to combat gun violence is…
 If guns aren't the problem, how can they part of the solution? 
 And my biggest question for those that think we need less guns for gun violence is…
 If guns are the problem, then what do you say to the responsible gun owners who make up more than 95% of gun owners?
