On the latest episode of Talking About Guns, we chat with former 8-term NY Congressman Steve Israel about the conversation with a Republican colleague in a members-only elevator that inspired his novel, a political satire imagining a world where it’s mandated for all Americans to carry a gun. We break down the power of voter intensity (“an obligation to support extremes”) vs. NRA funding (“not as influential as people think”). And Israel shares his thoughts on the chances of future legislation.
On another special edition of Siegel’s Scope, we dive into Part 2 of the research 97Percent and Dr. Siegel just released – which identifies four policies to keep guns out of the hands of violent people that are supported by gun owners and estimated to reduce gun homicides by 28%.
