We’re only about 54 days into 2023 and there have already been more than 80 mass shootings in America this year.
Last weekend, there were 10 in three days. I’m sure you heard the news, but it probably didn’t shock you. We’ve become numb to this rampage of gun violence.
But not those working to loosen our gun laws. They’ve been busy in states across the country including our own. Is the answer stricter or more lenient laws?
We talk about the intersection of our laws — including the Second Amendment — and gun violence with the director of the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), as well as others.
Guests
Steven Dettelbach, director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives
