What Should Be Done About Guns in the U.S., And How to Do It

Two more high-profile mass shootings this past month have rekindled the national debate over guns, gun rights, and gun regulation. Politicians have weighed in from the Presidential campaign trail and on Capitol Hill, but common ground remains elusive. Some say we need to tighten laws and oversight in the interest of public safety, while others say the solution is for more civilians to arm themselves in the interest of self-defense.

GUESTS:

  • Bob Clegg - president of Pro-Gun New Hampshire and former state lawmaker
  • David Pierce - Democratic state senator from Etna. He has co-sponsored a bill that would establish a criminal penalty for providing a firearm to a person prohibited from possessing a firearm.
  • Adam Winkler - professor of law at the UCLA School of Law and and author of Gunfight: The Battle Over the Battle over the Right to Bear Arms in America.
