S2 E28: “This not talking about politics thing that I was taught growing up, that doesn’t serve us” – Talking About Guns with Leigh McGowan

TAG: Talking About Guns

She was given a death sentence. Years later, she asked herself, “What am I doing with this extra life I’ve been given?” On the latest episode of TAG, we chat with Leigh McGowan about her Webby-award winning @IAmPoliticsGirl “Breakfast Rants” and podcast that have attracted nearly 2 million followers and earned her praise for her breakdown of complex issues into no-nonsense, everyday speak. We delve into what the Right and Left get wrong on gun safety; we discuss the need to prioritize responsible gun ownership and regulation vs. banning; and she leaves us with a piece of advice: “Vote for leaders who aren’t afraid of change and who acknowledge solutions.”
In the latest edition of Siegel’s Scope, Dr. Michael Siegel dives into concealed carry: the history behind it, recent trends, the difference between shall issue vs. may issue, and how 97Percent’s roadmap addresses it.
