Why gun culture is killing us and what we can do about it from the perspective of a gun violence survivor - me - and the most powerful gun violence prevention organization’s CEO. We will unpack the paralysis in Congress and how lawmakers became so out of touch with most of the electorate on this core public safety issue.
