In this episode, Alex Ooley discusses a quiz on US gun laws published by The Trace, an organization that promotes gun control. The host acknowledges the bias in the quiz but finds it instructive. The quiz covers topics such as background checks, private sellers, failing a background check, psychological evaluations, timeframes for background checks, training courses for concealed carry, permitless carry, registration of pistols, ownership of certain weapons, minimum age for AR-15 ownership, federal regulators and recalls, and lawsuits against manufacturers. The host provides explanations and critiques for each question, highlighting the importance of individual rights and the potential dangers of gun control measures.
