This week, hosts Jarrett Hill and Tre’vell Anderson are talking about the rise in gun ownership in the Black community. 

Since March 15th there have been 45 events classified as ‘mass shootings. This year alone – as of the time we’re producing this episode – there have been 147 mass shootings. 

With a rise in gun circulation, a 36% increase in background checks for firearms and an uptick in gun sales during the election year we’re asking the question: should Black Americans join in on America’s seeming obsession with guns? 

But first…

Pass the Popcorn

Tre’vell and Jarrett discuss the Derek Chauvin trial and how we can possibly find a way forward as a nation.
