Guns, Liberty & A Unique Perspective on Covid19

This episode is the audio from a video that I am posting on my YouTube channel @TheAmateurHuntingEnthusiast. Guest, Genevieve Jones, gives a unique perspective regarding liberty, guns, and the COVID19 pandemic. The diversity of ideas is so important to true democracy. Learning to be civil, tolerant, and even loving of our political counterparts and those who think differently than ourselves is the only way to bridge the divide in our culture.  Find Genevieve on Instagram @beyond.the.unknown [https://www.instagram.com/beyond.the.unknown/] and check out this article [https://carrygirlgear.com/blogs/news/shooting-saved-my-life], too.  To continue the conversation, send an email to amateurhuntingenthusiast@gmail.com
