Forging Peace: Guns to Gardens (Hour 2)
Jeff Wilde and Dan Elsass discuss their innovative Guns and Gardens Safe Disposal Project, transforming firearms into gardening tools. Inspired by the book 'Raw Tools' by Michael Martin and Shane Claiborne, the project aims to get guns off the streets, offering gift cards for surrendered firearms. The initiative aligns with National Gun Violence Awareness Month, urging stricter background checks and red flag laws. Meanwhile, Mike McCabe critiques societal hypocrisy, contrasting modern actions with Christian teachings, highlighting the need for kindness in a cruel age. Weather forecasts and light banter with meteorologist Brittany Merlot offer a brief respite from the weighty topics.
