Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
During the 1990s, numerous cities across the country pursued lawsuits against gun manufacturers. Now, after Congress provided legal protections for the gun industry, New York City has decided to go after dealers far outside that city’s boundaries, including Virginia. Advocates say irresponsible dealers are making it easy for felons to buy weapons. But hard data is hard to come by. We look at the future of anti-gun litigation.
