You're listening to, atheistically speaking. Oh, Hello and welcome to atheistically speaking this is episode 259 and I am your host

Thomas Smith.

0:36.8

All right here it is part two of the master class on the second amendment.

0:42.3

Everything you need to know and I bet you there's still some stuff,

0:45.4

plenty of stuff we didn't get to, but it's such a solid background of information for any,

0:51.5

to educate us going into any discussions of the Second Amendment going forward.
