Programming Note: This conversation was recorded on Monday, 9/8, before the horrific and tragic killing of political activist Charlie Kirk. Gun violence is among the leading causes of death for children and teens in the United States. News of yet another mass shooting breaks almost weekly. And still, gun reform remains fiercely partisan. It is indeed a cultural flashpoint in a country that feels as divided and polarized as ever. This week, Preet is joined by John Feinblatt, the President of Everytown for Gun Safety, and Adam Winkler, a constitutional scholar and expert on the Second Amendment to discuss whether gun culture is changing for the better, whether legal reforms are making any progress, and whether the private sector can step up in the face of political deadlock.  Then, Preet answers your questions about Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to a minimum-security prison, and asks for your thoughts on Newsom's posting. In the bonus for Insiders, Preet, John, and Adam discuss U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's decision not to federally prosecute individuals for carrying rifles or shotguns in D.C.
