Episode: #56 - David Leyonhjelm - Freedom and Firearms
Description: Pietro is joined by David Leyonhjelm, former Australian Senator for the Libertarian Party (known then as the Liberal Democrats). During his time in Parliament, David was a staunch advocate for gun ownership rights, and the two discuss many of the aspects that make up the conversation on firearms. Some of the issues discussed include: the restrictions on guns, the myths and misconceptions around guns, various comparisons and statistics with other countries (such as Switzerland, the Czech Republic and the US), the libertarian position on guns, and how Australians value feelings about safety over reasoned argument.
