Café Inquiry (ONLINE) – Should We Consider Owning a Gun…
October 26, 2025 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
This event is held online. (Click the button to join the Zoom meeting.)
Should We Consider Owning a Gun… to protect ourselves and our families? Steve Andersen is considering purchasing a firearm – something that never dawned on him before. Join us ONLINE as Steve takes us through the various questions he’s seeking answers to – should it be concealed carry? Just in his home? It’s not a decision he takes lightly, and we’d love to have you share your thoughts. If you already own a gun, your perspective will be especially valuable. This should be a fascinating discussion as we probe the pros and cons of gun ownership and all it entails. Here are some facts and statistics about guns from the Pew Research Center. Here are the results from the 2025 National Survey of Gun Policy from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Finally here are the links to part 1 and part 2 of Australian comedian Jim Jefferies’ comedy routine about gun control from his 2014 Netflix special. Content warning – there is some very coarse language and occasional insensitivity. So best not to watch where the kiddies can hear. Or your boss. Hope to see you there!
Café Inquiry starts with a short introduction of the day’s topic, followed by casual discussion.
This event is free and open to the public. Donations appreciated, but not expected.
Attendees are able to future propose topics which would align with Michigan Humanist’s purpose: from atheism, agnosticism, humanism, secularism, and freethinking to broader subjects in science and humanities, such as religion, philosophy, social issues, politics, evolution, morality, ethics, and psychology.
Café Inquiry (Grand Rapids) meets each month IN PERSON on the second Sunday and ONLINE on the fourth Sunday.
