Across the political and social spectrum voices clamoring for greater government control over access to guns as a means to diminish gun violence, clash with gun rights advocates who point to the Second Amendment as a fundamental right to be preserved, that empowers the individual and his/her own security, which in turn can act as a deterrent to mass shootings. If there is one point of consensus within this hotly contested debate, is that the alarming increase in the rate of mass shootings can no longer be ignored and it demands immediate action. Proposed solutions are diverse, ranging from the federal ban on assault weapons, the clamping down on the access of guns through enhanced criminal and mental illness background checks, the closure of the "gun show loophole," and greater oversight in the glorification of violence in the entertainment industry, to an actual increase in gun access, a stronger push for concealed carry laws, and elimination of "gun free zones" by having armed guards in public spaces. Each of these proposals spark fundamental questions that strike at the core of our social and political fabric, which within the political realm often equates to being categorized as a "non-starter" issue. On this episode of Inside Outlook, we bring together these divergent voices for a civil discussion to address these questions, and to explore inroads towards a lasting solution. See less
