My guest today is David Hogg.

David is a Gun Violence Activist and a History Major at Harvard University. He rose to national prominence after surviving the mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida in 2018. He is also the Co-Author of the New York Times Best Seller: #NeverAgain: A New Generation Draws the Line

This episode is all about gun violence. Despite surviving a mass shooting, David feels and I agree that mass shootings get more attention than they should and that we should pay at least as much, if not more attention to the far greater number of people getting murdered in violent neighborhoods every day. David and I clash somewhat over the right approach to gun control. We spend a good deal of time arguing about whether it makes sense to have armed security guards in schools. We talk about the Second Amendment and the role historical context should play in our assessment of modern-day policies, and much more.

Ground News is a news comparison platform, empowering readers to see how sources with different underlying biases are covering a story and form a balanced view of the day’s most important news. The platform itself is apolitical. It’s for anyone who’s not afraid of having their opinions challenged, and open to seeing multiple perspectives on controversial issues. Their Blindspot feature enables you to check your news blindspot, and see stories that aren't being reported by one side of the political spectrum, that you would otherwise miss in your bubble. So if you're trying to be an informed consumer of the news, I could not recommend Ground news more. You can check out this platform via www.ground.news/coleman or you can directly download the app from Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
