Finding Common Ground on Guns, with Anthony Colandro and Kevin Ryan
truethirty.substack.com
Listen now (76 min) | “We don’t need weapons of war on our streets.” “We need to ban assault rifles.” “We need universal background checks.” “America’s gun culture is killing our children.” As part of my reporting on the subject of guns in America, I’ve interviewed folks who voiced these above narratives – people who believe that more gun regulations are necessary to combat the violence in our streets, and that we need to legislate a nationwide ban on assault rifles.
Once again you have taken on a tough topic with true journalistic curiosity. Thank you for presenting multiple sides with these important issues! I agree with Bill Maher that Hollywood's overwhelming portrayal of guns as 'cool' and the best go to solution for both the good and bad guys, iin blockbuster after blockbuster, is a real contribitor to gun violence. Making millions on programming children to believe that guns represent ultrimate power is a major source of the problem imo.
And once again, I appreciate your continue interest in our organization! :-)
Thanks for all your time and energy!
