04 - Gun Free Zones & Appealing to Values

On our 12th and final episode of Season One, Sarah's soft skills segment is about how to talk with politicians and cultivate those relationships. Jon's Bad Argument of the Day is about, well, arguing.

In this episode, Sarah wraps up the series on online discussions, delving into how to manage these conversations in spaces where it's difficult to control the message. And Jon's Bad Argument of the day lays out an alternative to "registration leads to confiscation" which may resonate more with those who think that registration is "common sense."
