20: Sixteen Seconds

It's the Brady Briefing, another time where JJ casts alone on everything from court cases to mass shootings, in this, a weekly wrap up on gun violence and gun violence prevention for the week of November 9th to November 15th. 

In this cast we have a lot of ground to cover--from straw sales, to mass shootings, to “2nd Amendment sanctuaries” to DOJ programs to court cases to the shooting at Saugus High school. It’s a lot, and it’s all awful. But remember, we're in this together.

Today in this wrap-up, you'll learn about:

what straw sales are, and why they're dangerous; why doctors are LESS likely to talk about gun safety after mass shootings;why a “Second Amendment Sanctuary" prioritizes guns over people;why the case against the Bushmaster AR-15 gun by Remington is so important;why the U.S. Department of Justice’s announced "Project Guardian" initiative is toothless;and finally, what happened at Saugus High School. 

So, you know, a lot. 

JJ also shares some amazing quotes, an even better tweet, and more conversations about PLCAA.
