Ep. 36: React-o-Vision: Did We Just Solve Gun Control?

June 25, 2016

This week on React-o-Vision:  We talk politics and in doing so solve the gun control debate, Game of Thrones season 6 including this week’s latest episode “Battle of the [Bleep]stards” and how to proactively save superhero movies so they don’t go the way of the western.

Be sure to check last week's podcast “Saints & Bleepers” where Ryan solidifies his title as “the bad boy” of ChristCore.net.  By the way, there were a lot of bleeps but no actual swearing, just having fun with our soundboard.

Politics
Discussion:

 

Gun control: Following the tragedy in Orlando, many Americans are calling for expanded background checks and a ban on assault rifles. Democrats have filibustered and staged a “sit-in” to call for a vote on new gun control legislation. Republicans and Democrats have differing opinions on whether or not gun control is the appropriate avenue for change. Thoughts?

Ryan: I don't think we can solve Gun Control, we can help perfect our process.  Believes legislation can only only accomplish so much. California, for example, is considered to be the state with the most restrictive gun-laws. But we still had the San Bernardino shootings.

Sit-in by House Democrats is deeply important and flawed

Senate rejects series of gun measures

Bullet Points:

 

Poll shows that nearly half of Bernie Sanders supporters won’t support Hillary Clinton
A June 14 Bloomberg Politics national poll suggests that only 55% of Bernie Sanders supporters will likely support the presumptive Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton. Almost a quarter of Sanders supporters said they would back Trump, and another chunk of voters favor Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. These polling numbers may not bode well for Clinton’s campaign.
Five states have now voted to circumvent Congress to eliminate Citizens United

Five states have joined Wolf PAC, an organization designed to get money out of politics. Here's what they want to do: “To restore true, representative democracy in the United States by pressuring our State Legislators to pass a much needed Free and Fair Elections Amendment to our Constitution.”

A British man attempted to assassinate Donald Trump

A British man was arrested at a Trump rally in Las Vegas after approaching an officer to take his gun. His intention? “To shoot and kill Trump.” Thankfully, no one was hurt, but, geez, our election has gotten ugly.

Donald Trump calls for racial profiling

Is racial profiling the correct term?
“I think profiling is something that we’re going to have to start thinking about as a country,” Trump said. “Other countries do it, you look at Israel and you look at others, they do it and they do it successfully. And I hate the concept of profiling, but we have to start using common sense and we have to use our heads.”
