Gun Control

Thu, Nov 11, 202141 mins

Jon talks about the problem of guns in America. With mass shootings averaging around 12 per week, Jon admits that America has lost the war on guns. Because the issue of guns is so heavily politicized and polarizing, lawmakers have not been able to reach a consensus on common sense gun laws. Jon talks about one such law which prohibits domestic violence offenders from owning guns. He argues that a previous domestic violence offense is the biggest predictor of gun violence. So such laws need to be passed in all states in the U.S. to ensure that both women and the police officers responding to domestic violence calls are protected.
