Summary

Bryan and Amanda are joined by Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, the largest gun safety reform organization in the country. With more than 6 million supporters, Moms Demand is more popular than the NRA. So why don’t our laws actually reflect Americans’ values on gun safety? Watts shares how the NRA wields disproportionate impact over the gun safety debate and whether the pandemic has made school-age children more or less safe from guns. She describes how volunteers across the country have pressured state legislators to radically alter gun laws that keep communities safer. Finally, she shares the first thing she would urge President Biden to do to address gun violence in America. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
