On this episode of Blunt Force Truth, Chuck Woolery and Mark Young talk about gun control – one of the hottest topics throughout the country that is plagued with an excess of emotion and incorrect information. They shed light on the distinction between automatic and semi-automatic weapons, what is legal and illegal, and how politicians have gotten in the way of law enforcement doing their jobs to prevent tragedies. They attempt to strip the emotion from situations like the Orlando shooting, reviewing a number of statistics that show how ineffective stricter gun control would be to prevent gun violence. They discuss the Constitution and how – no matter what you believe – as Americans, we must respect the laws of the land and the methods in place to change those laws if we disagree. In regards to the Second Amendment, they consider the “well-regulated militia” of the state and how this allows people to have the last line of defense from a tyrannical government.

On this episode of Blunt Force Truth, Chuck Woolery and Mark Young discuss the news, why we’re delivered disproportionately negative news stories in this age of the Internet, and why people respond most to tragic news. Mark sheds light on brain chemistry and why we’re essentially addicted to bad news. They discuss our perception of reality based on the reports we see every day, despite the statistical facts that often dispute that perception. News rarely lets those facts get in the way of a good story, though, because good news doesn’t get much attention. They give suggestions on how to stop relying on depressing, sensationalist news that misleads your mind. Be grateful for what you have, stay positive and don’t let yourself fall prey to the negativity that the mainstream media wants you coming back for.
