Wild Wild Left Radio #161 Ameri-guns. Casual or Symptomatic?

In light of this week's shooting in Colorado, and the absolute polarization about gun that have ensued the following week?  I am going to try and inject a little sanity into the subject.

Is the 2nd Amendment more relevant today than ever?
Is pacifism realistic in our society?
Will regulations do anything when criminals don't obey laws?
What of home protection?
Does closing mental hospitals and cutting psychiatric services bear any blame?
Are human time bombs being created by our very fabric in the United States?
Is fear of our Government paranoid or pragmatic?

I'm far left.  I own guns.  My position is not popular among my peers, but I hope you can tune in to see these questions and more backed by fact, not hysteria or fudged numbers.
