Host Jeff Pegues does a deep dive into guns and gun violence in America with an exclusive interview with Steven M. Dettelbach, the newly confirmed Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

Director Dettelbach explains how advances in technology have fueled the rise of untraceable “ghost guns” and illegal gun modifications, what legislators at the federal level must do in order to assist ATF field officers, the struggles local police forces are facing across the country when it comes to tackling gun violence, and how his “small agency, with a huge task” is making the most of its resources to confront the violence facing Americans on an everyday basis.
