Tracing Handguns: Local & Global Perspectives

Guest Host:

Every handgun used in a crime has a unique story. It may have been made in Hungary or Brazil, sold at a mom-and-pop store or a pawn shop, and traded or bartered dozens of times. We examine the pathways handguns take from manufacture to use and explore the challenge of addressing "crime guns," while respecting the rights of law-abiding dealers and owners.

I listened to part of this show as I was driving home from an appointment. I question why you did not have a representative from the National Rifle Association as a guest. I hope you at least invited someone, although I doubt it because the NRA would have shown up and provided views you did not seem to want to hear. All the participants with the exception of the ATF agent seemed very pro-gun control; they were obviously biased. I thought the ATF agent was objective and not overzealous in demanding the sacrifice of personal freedoms as many law enforcement and security officials are doing these days.
