Episode 270: Solving Guns in Crime and Disputes

In this special episode we are excited to bring you Part 4 of Brendan’s Solving Guns project. This is Part 4.  This part introduces the issue of guns used in crime and one of the top reasons guns are used violently—resolving disputes. How can we reduce this kind of gun violence without the need for gun control legislation?   

This is a multi-part series that we are sharing first with our polilogue listeners—a project that is years in the making. The goal is to examine every form of gun violence, to go deep on the reasons why people own guns in the first place, and to find solutions without passing gun restricting laws. Not because these types of laws are a bad idea or a good idea—but because laws are not solving this issue right now. Whether you love guns or hate them, my hope is that the solutions here can unite those on the left and the right behind one goal: to save lives. Something we can all agree on. 

You can find this project online at www.SolvingGuns.org, where you can read a written version of this and in the future where you can watch a video version that Brendan is producing. You can also find access to the 2000-plus pages of facts and statistics that the project is based on.
