February 19, 2018

Yellowhammer News Editor J. Pepper Bryars discussed guns and violence Monday morning on the Matt and Aunie Show on Birmingham’s Talk 99.5.

Bryars and the hosts discussed the nation’s reaction to the school shooting in Florida, and how he believes the underlying cause of such violence isn’t access to firearms but a devaluing of life in our culture and a generational desensitization to cruelty.

Listen to the interview here:

Bryars recently posted two opinion pieces on guns, one titled “4 things gun control advocates don’t understand about ‘gun nuts’ like me” and another headlined “Is it better to #DoNothing on gun control than #DoSomething that weakens our rights?”
