Ep. 20 Why We Can't Legislate Our Way Out of Gun Violence

Lately, in the US, many people and especially politicians, push for more legislation in response to mass shootings. We discuss why that is nearly futile. We touch on topics such as an "assault weapons" ban, "universal background checks", "red flag laws" and the 2nd Amendment. We do not pretend to know everything about this subject and so if we stated something that may be false or misconstrued, please let us know.
