** **Unfortunately and continually relevant, this episode covers gun violence in America, with a specific focus on assault weapons bans. To zero-in on this type of legislation, we tapped the author of the California state assault weapons ban, Congressman Garamendi, CA-08 who made the legislation happen back when he was in the CA state legislature. Now in a federal role, he shed light on what’s happening with S.25, whether it has a chance, and what conversations with colleagues look like. He also shared details on the evolution of the gun industry and how this problem became the epidemic we’re dealing with on a daily basis. Discussion of the ‘94 federal ban was also included.
