Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Michael Martinez
Guns on display at a Las Vegas shooting range.
Days after the deadly shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Fla., legislators rallied in Washington for a 15-hour “filibuster” in support of a tighter background checks for certain gun buyers. But while the deadliest mass shooting in recent history spurred many to call their congressional representatives for tighter gun laws, it remains to be seen if any measure can gain momentum on Capitol Hill. Kojo examines the seemingly-cyclical gun debate with one of our region’s federal lawmakers, U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.).
