I Should Have Known By the Glock In My Hand

One of the more divisive topics in the United States, aside from the Taco Bell vs Del Taco debate, is gun control. On one hand you have people who want sensible gun laws and efforts to curb gun violence and mass shootings. And on the other hand you have people who believe any gun laws trample on their Constitutional rights. If you're a fan of HDI, you probably know how the three of us feel about it. But nonetheless we have a solid discussion and attempt to truly look at both sides of the coin. Plus, Greg and John write an REO Speewagon parody song. You're welcome, "Weird Al" Yankovic.
