Summary

We are seeing increasing calls for violence around the country, an incitement to violence by Trump and his compatriots, and an overall threat to our democracy and our public safety with the stockpiling of weapons and ammunition to use against a government, or fellow citizens, with whom people disagree. Join me, and well known public safety advocate Fred Guttenberg, as we talk about these threats and about giving Americans the tools to move off this platform of lies and onto a platform of facts and action. The gun violence we’re seeing in America is actually pretty new. It wasn’t always like this, and it doesn’t have to be like in the future. The choice is ours.
