The Scoot Show with Scoot

On today's show, Scoot talks about former U.S. Olympic canoeist David Hearn getting arrested by the U.S. Park Police and charged with a misdemeanor for destruction of government property at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Then, the Supreme Court sided with a marijuana user challenging the federal ban on drug users owning guns. As pot becomes legal and more accepted in more places, should someone who smokes marijuana be allowed to own a firearm? Should it be treated like alcohol, or is there a real public safety concern?  Finally, a new study says phones are not just taking over kids’ lives at the dinner table. Parents are just as bad, if not worse: nearly 70% of kids and 78% of parents used a device during their last family meal. Do you put your phone away when you eat, or has dinner just become screen time with chewing?
