Weapons of Minimal Distruction | SFM E32

Guns are dangerous for those who own them and their families, but people still want to feel safe and protect themselves. Following our “X with half the consequences” theme, this week Braus and Scot discuss some non-lethal weapons people can buy instead of guns.

We discuss the relative pro's and con's of baseball bats or compressed air pistols that shoot bb's, nylon pellets, and even pepper spray pellets. If we replaced bullet-based guns with these non-lethal alternatives could protect our homes but still keep ourselves and our families safe from gun violence?

Is There a Link Between Mental Health and Mass Shootings? – Columbia Dept of Psychiatry. TLDR – no there is not.
