S4E42 CHALLENGING STEPHEN KING

Response to Stephen King's Gun Control Op-Ed: A Discussion In this episode, Katherine Schweit and Sarah Ferris discuss an op-ed piece by author Stephen King on the pervasive gun problem in America. King's piece expresses frustration and suggests there may be no solution. The hosts disagree with this sentiment. Schweit shares her response, which she sent to the New York Times, highlighting that cultural change takes generations and that 'the gun problem' can be solved through persistence and grit. The hosts discuss the nuances of gun culture in the United States and argue that the culture can be unlearned with persistence and accurate information. They also discuss the potential deterrent effect of guns on individuals stepping up in dangerous situations. 00:26 Introduction and Stephen King's Op-Ed Piece 01:34 Stephen King's Views on Gun Violence 02:57 Disagreeing with Stephen King's Views 03:45 Response to Stephen King's Op-Ed 07:18 The Impact of Gun Culture 08:15 The Role of Guns in Entertainment 09:28 The Fear of Gun Violence 09:45 The Influence of Gun Sales 10:45 The Danger of Guns in Public Spaces 11:41 The Effect of Gun Violence on Bystanders 14:36 The Legal Implications of Gun Use 16:16 The Possibility of Solving the Gun Problem 17:30 Feedback on the Response to Stephen King's Op-Ed WANT THE VIDEOS HEAD TO YOUTUBE @sarahferrismedia  And if you are wanting AD FREE | EARLY ACCESS | BONUS CONTENT  HIT THE BANNER ON APPLE PODCASTS TO SUBSCRIBE OR SUPPORT US: Patreon.com/stopthekilling  Check out Sarahferrismedia.com Send us your Listener Questions for our Tuesday episodes  Message us on instagram :  @conmunitypodcast @stopthekillingstories And for all things Katherine Schweit including where you can purchase her book STOP THE KILLING: How to end the mass shooting crisis head to: www.katherineschweit.com SUPPORTING OUR SPONSORS, SUPPORTS THE PODCAST CRIMECON UK TICKETS HERE CRIMECON US TICKETS HERE DON’T forget to use DISCOUNT CODE “FERRIS”  RESOURCES Stop the Bleed training FBI  RUN, HIDE, FIGHT This is a CONmunity Podcast Production on the Killer Podcasts Network Check out more: CONNING THE CON KLOOGHLESS - THE LONG CON GUILTY GREENIE THE BRAVERY ACADEMY Learn more about your ad choices.
