Political Rewind: How Scientific Research Could Bridge Bipartisan Gun Safety And Control
Thursday on Political Rewind: The coronavirus pandemic dominated headlines this past year. But the news this week returned to a different public health crisis: the massive toll of gun violence in the United States.
The killing of 18 people in Georgia and Colorado in the past week prompted renewed calls for change. In Congress, lawmakers are calling for stricter gun control measures, including increased background checks on potential purchasers. Meanwhile in Georgia's state Capitol, similar measures jockey for space with bills expanding the freedom of gun owners to open carry.
On today's show, we speak to Dr. Mark Rosenberg, a former CDC official and a longtime advocate of using scientific research to stem gun violence. The panel is also joined by Betty Dickey, the former chief justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court and an ally in the push for more gun violence research.
Panelists:
Betty Dickey — Former Chief Justice, Arkansas Supreme Court
Kevin Riley — Editor, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Dr. Mark Rosenberg — Former President and CEO, Task Force for Global Health
