Podcasts about Gun debate

In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable podcast the guys discuss the Wisconsin school shooting and the gun debates that will come with it. Also, what is happening with the New Jersey drones? And, is Trump the de facto President?

This week, we're turning our attention to the presidential race. Donald Trump and Kamala Harris seem to have found their message on guns and are sticking to it. Assassination attempts, a major school shooting, and the race tightening haven't moved voters. Neither has any of that moved the candidates themselves. So, we've got Bearing Arms editor Cam Edwards back on the show to look at where everything has landed. He agreed there's little reason to think the campaigns are going to change course on message or intensity at this point. But he argued both sides are taking a flawed approach. Cam said Trump ought to do more to try and entice gun owners to turn out for him rather than just talking about how he doesn't think they will show up. On the other hand, he argued Harris trying to parry claims she'll take Americans' guns by emphasizing her own gun ownership felt inauthentic and didn't do enough to counteract some of the farther left positions she's staked out on guns in the past. Special Guest: Cam Edwards.

Finding herself in a middle seat on a flight home, Jazzalyn Livingston was engaged in a conversation with her seatmate. What started as a casual conversation quickly shifted to topics like gun rights, community and police violence. Despite initial discomfort and assumptions based on political differences, Livingston, who serves as National Program Director for the One America Movement and co-founder of Black Girls Leadership Academy, chose to listen carefully and set her assumptions aside, leading to an unexpected realization of shared values. We'd love to hear about an Uncomfy moment you've experienced. Can you think of a time when you felt your perspective or worldview challenged and instead of getting defensive or bailing out, you chose to lean into the discomfort and stick with it – and you're glad you did?

This week, we've got one of the nation's premier political analysts on the show. Steve Hayes, co-founder of The Dispatch, joined us to discuss the state of the 2024 gun debate. He gave his take on the path Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have taken in their respective campaigns. Then he turned to how the recent mass shooting at a Georgia High School might shake up those positions. Hayes noted guns have not been a top priority for voters thus far in the election. He said that was likely because there haven't been a lot of high-profile shootings this year. He argued that could change because of the new attention the Georgia shooting will bring to the issue, but he wasn't sure if it would reach the level of intense media coverage that's necessary to push either candidate one way or the other.

Recorded live inside UCLA's Royce Hall, the audio drama at the center of this episode takes place in southern California the immediate aftermath of the 2022 shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde TX. Tiffany struggles to balance the need to protect her young children with the urgency of finishing her doctoral dissertation, which is itself related to school shootings. After the performance, actors Natalie Camunas and Sola Bamis are joined by guests Marine Corps veteran Tess Banko and Army veteran Robert Ham to discuss the implications, for parents and veterans in particular, of school shootings becoming commonplace. "Tiffany" is based on the oral history of retired Air Force Captain Jessica Huerta. Jessica, who is also a PhD student in Sociology, joins the discussion as well. The conversation unearths provocative questions about cultures of hyper-masculinity, and the need to balance our freedoms and responsibilities regarding guns. Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 01:56 - Audio drama: "Tiffany" 10:43 - Discussion with Tess, Robert, and Jessica 23:16 - Conclusion 25:23 - Thank you's and credits   Guest Bios: Jessica Huerta enlisted in the Air Force shortly after 9/11. Often she was the only woman in airfield-communications teams, among leaders in security forces, as the wing equal opportunity adviser, and as a public affairs officer. As a citizen-airman, a sociology doctoral candidate at UCLA, and a parent, she became aware of the discrimination fathers face when they seek deep emotional connections with their families and greater involvement in childcare. Jessica believes research to demonstrate the strategies fathers use to defy rigid gender rules could greatly improve the lives of men, their partners and their children across our military, veteran and civilian communities.   Tess Barragan Banko, MSW/MPA, a Marine Corps veteran, serves as the U.S.VETS West Los Angeles project director and The Veterans Collective community development director. A survivor of post-traumatic stress disorder and military sexual trauma, Banko deeply identifies with fellow veterans and families on their paths to recovery, wellness and empowerment, and is honored to serve the community on behalf of her military and veteran sisters, brothers and their families.    Robert Ham is a 4x Emmy winning director/writer, a decorated Army Combat Veteran and an alumni of the USC School of Cinematic Arts MFA program. During his time in the military he served a combat tour to Afghanistan in '09-10 and then would deploy to over a dozen areas in the Pacific. Robert received the Department of Defense Military Videographer of the Year award three times (the highest decoration for military story-telling), the most in Army history.

Dan Froot and special guests, Refujio "Cuco" Rodriguez and Bryonn Bain, explore how guns shaped the lives of two brother living in Miami's Liberty City neighborhood. The jumping-off point for the converstion is Dan Froot & Company's short audio drama "Rich & Dave," based on the brothers' oral history. Rich and Dave struggle with the emotional toll of gun violence in their community, managing family responsibilities while charting a path away from troubled pasts. The drama highlights their familial bond, the pressures of their environment, and the pervasive presence of guns, even when not visible. Following the audio play, Dan discusses the broader entanglements of gun violence, race, and the prison-industrial complex with guests Justin Alston, Refujio Rodriguez, and Bryonn Bain. They emphasize the importance of empathy, understanding systemic racism, the need for community resources to address the root causes of violence, and the case for prison abolition. Through personal stories and informed insights, the episode suggests that acknowledging each other's humanity could transform the gun debate. It is an appeal for dialogue and support over judgment and punishment.

In this truly insightful episode with Professor David Yamane of Wake Forest University, we dive into the concept of Gun Culture 2.0 and the transformation of America's gun culture. The conversation explores the shift from hunting and collecting firearms to self-defense, gun ownership as a hobby, and the tactical world of gun ownership. David emphasizes the importance of civil conversations and the challenges of emotional arguments, as well as the need for open and nuanced conversations that focus on shared values and common ground. We discuss David's upcoming book, Gun Curious and Jordan talks about how he actually read it. (we're all shocked) It's rare to get someone as eloquent and knowledgeable on the topics from the "other side", and David's perspectives are invaluable to the conversation about gun rights, gun control, and more.Check out this episode's sponsor, The Reload and use code "ABW2A" for 25% off a membership!If you like the show and want to support us, head to our Patreon to do so where you'll have access to exclusive merch and content!Pre-order David Yamane's new book Gun Curious

But now, one week after the mass shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl parade, Kander — a fifth-generation Kansas Citian — tells us how the gun industry's biggest scam is also its greatest legal strength.

But how many lives have thoughts and prayers saved? You might be surprised some of the pushback the status quo is getting now: including a chilling campaign using AI.

Welcome to Oaktober Fest, our annual celebration of spooky season lasting the entire month of October! This episode highlights the tragic death of Yoshihiro Hattori, a 16-year-old Japanese student on an exchange program to the United States.    When "Yoshi" and his friend and fellow student Webb Haymaker knocked on the door of a house where they believed a Halloween Party to be held, they were met with gunfire, killing Yoshi and leaving Webb with a lifetime of emotional scars.    After the Yoshi's untimely death, two families, forever linked through tragedy, would work together to lead a massive campaign to change America's gun laws.     Ultimately, the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act was passed, mandating background checks on gun buyers and a five-day waiting period on all purchases.    Give: Yoshi Hattori Memorial Scholarship (afsusa.org) Sources: Mascia, J.

Merely defining gun violence is difficult, and coming to agreement on what to do about it often seems near-impossible in the United States. But people on all sides of the debate agree that they want to feel safe, even if they have different ideas of how to achieve security. What will it take to truly listen to each other and make progress on this issue? U.S. Representative Lucy McBath, advocate John Feinblatt, Cato Institute legal scholar Clark Neily and sociologist Jennifer Carlson come together at the 2023 Aspen Ideas Festival to share their unique perspectives and expertise on fighting gun violence. Journalist and public radio host Jenn White moderates the discussion.

Eric Zorn, Publisher of The Picayune Sentinel, joins John Williams to talk about the mass shooting epidemic in the U.S., his thoughts on former mayoral candidate Willie Wilson writing a series of columns for the Chicago Tribune opinion section, and why he’s concerned that President Biden that is avoiding news conferences.

We focus this episode on the recent shootings that have shaken our country. But rather than engaging in the same tired political debates, we take a different approach and explore the issue from a psychological standpoint.We discuss the role of fear and division in driving the polarization of the gun control debate, and how both sides can do a better job of bridging the gap. We examine how the Second Amendment has become a symbolic battleground for deeper societal anxieties and explore ways to address these underlying issues.Join us as we explore this complex issue with nuance and empathy, seeking to understand rather than to win an argument. Whether you're a gun owner or a gun control advocate, we invite you to listen and engage with an open mind, as we strive to find common ground and move towards a safer and more united future.

It seems we're stuck in an endless cycle these days -- gun violence, thoughts and prayers, calls for legislative action, complete inaction, move on to the next tragedy. Wash, rinse, repeat. On today's episode, I'm speaking with human rights lawyer, Qasim Rashid, who has become an outspoken voice on social media for social justice in all forms. He's an extremely knowledgeable resource when it comes to understanding the history of the United States' obsession with gun culture. He helps us understand the resistance to common sense gun laws and how this issue ties back to segregation and Jim Crow. We also discuss ways to take action to ensure this pattern does not continue indefinitely.
