About this episode

Jason and John discuss the Second Amendment and responsible gun ownership, addressing various aspects of gun culture and laws.

In this episode of the I Shower After Work Podcast, Jason and John discuss the Second Amendment, emphasizing responsible gun ownership, safe storage and use, and understanding laws that vary by state. They read the amendment and frame it as protection against tyranny and government overreach, while acknowledging it’s often simplified to “the right to bear arms.” They cite estimates of U.S. civilian gun ownership (hundreds of millions, rising during the pandemic) and review gun-death statistics noting that over half are suicides, largely among older white men. They debate gun control arguments, Minnesota-specific issues like inspections and lack of stand-your-ground protections, and consider psychiatric evaluations during firearm purchases while noting limits of future enforcement. They also touch on gun culture, range shooting, and object to calling AR rifles “assault rifles.” 💬 Question for listeners: What single safety practice do you wish every gun owner followed?
