Over the course of eight days in California, at least 25 people were killed in four separate mass shootings. Less than one month into 2023, the US has already seen 39 mass shootings. We'll discuss why politicians, mostly Republicans, refuse to support basic gun control.
On this edition of Your Call, we discuss the ongoing epidemic of gun violence in the United States. Over the course of eight days in California, at least 25 people were killed in four separate mass shootings. California has the strongest gun laws in the country, but some of the weakest gun laws in the world, according to UCLA Professor Adam Winkler. Across the country, there have been more than 1,300 gun deaths, 2,250 gun injuries, and approximately 1,700 suicides in the first 25 completed days of 2023. We’ll discuss the power the NRA holds over Republican politicians and why this epidemic is unique to the United States. Guests: Adam Winkler, professor at the UCLA School of Law, and author of Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America Ryan Busse, senior advisor for Giffords, former vice president of sales for Kimber, a small arms company, and author of Gunfight: My Battle Against the Industry that Radicalized America Nick Suplina, senior vice president of law and policy for Everytown for Gun Safety
