The Las Vegas attack was not the worst case of “gun related murder” in the United States. The media knows that is the case, which is why they use words like “in recent history” or “modern history” in their stories about it. We will take a moment to examine the actual worst case of “gun violence” in American History.
Time for an Ask Me Anything, or AMA. You posted your questions in the Liberty Mastermind group and on Facebook. Now Paul and Jarrad will answer many of them. Yes, of course, we have a motivational music selection for you.
