In Episode 132, we talk about murder, the families who survive unthinkable violence, and how gun control laws, in any form, will never stop a killer from wreaking havoc if he/she has the intent to do so. With homicide reaching an over 30% increase in the last year and a half in major and some smaller cities, we find ourselves feeling unsafe. We talk in depth about this controversial subject and help you better understand the true causes of this violence. https://marymac.info/2022/06/12/the-mary-mac-show-its-not-the-weapon-ep132/ (Visit my blog for this episode here.) www.MaryMac.info www.TheMaryMacShow.com www.GriefAuthority.com www.FoundationForGrievingChildren.org/donate/
