Principles and Policies Podcast for 1/18/2013- How Government Initiatives To Solve Problems Create Worse Problems

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Our Principles and Policies radio show for Friday January 18, 2013. Barry Sheets and Chuck Michaelis do a more in depth discussion of the President’s proposal to “reduce gun violence.” We predict that the result of the proposals will be MORE violence, not less, as has been the case in many other countries that have banned private ownership of firearms. We also question other sections of the proposal that are extremely dangerous to liberty.
