On March 16th, 8 people were shot and killed in Atlanta. Since then, there have been 49 other mass shootings. Combine that with the number of people we lose every year to suicide and when thing becomes painfully clear — we need to talk about guns. On this weeks episode, Hillari sits down with Dr. Cass Crifasi from the John Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Prevention and Policy to discuss why we need to include gun owners in the gun policy conversation, what actually helps reduce gun violence, and what reforms we should be pursuing.
