Last week I criticized, 4 feeding gun culture, the host of a radio show. He attacked me but invited me on his show. I inferred this as a challenge to debate & set 2 provisos: neither speaks over the other & no one speaks > 2 mins. He sd no one tells him how to conduct an interview. 1/5

Today on air, he sd he’d be glad to debate me, I can call in. But debate is not an interview. Basic rules to debate: speaking uninterrupted & w/in time limits. The few callers to the show who disagree w/him, he speaks over or cuts off. He can do that. As host he controls the mic. 2/5

Most callers fawn over the host. Example: caller claims 2nd Amend includes tanks, missiles & F16s. The host neither egged on nor corrected the caller. The 2nd Amendment doesn’t protect a person to have any weapon for whatever purpose. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 626 (2008). 3/5

He said I advocate repeal of the 2nd Amend, but I said the 2nd never was meant to protect an individual’s right to bear arms. He spreads misinformation about/glorifies guns. We need to counter misinformation. I know a little bit about debate & it requires a level playing field. 4/5.

Lincoln said “Let the people know the facts, and the country will be free.” I’m Mark Small, pro-separation of church & State, pro-choice, pro environment, pro-civil rts & anti-gun GOP nominee for Indiana House Distr 86. I approve of this blog. Hell, I wrote it. 5/5
