Summary

Milly, Alise and Amanda react to yet another mass shooting in America, this time in Boulder, Colorado. They discuss the fact that shooters in Atlanta and Boulder are 21-year-old men, and how our society needs to get better at interrupting violent ideation before lives are lost. They run through the familiar gun safety refrains related to universal background checks and automatic weapons bans, and consider whether Congress will finally take action. Then, they discuss Spring Break crowds in Miami and why the Florida government is to blame. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
