Finding a bipartisan solution to gun violence

Ways To Subscribe

Political science professors Wayne Moyer and Donna Hoffman join River to River host Ben Kieffer in a conversation about gun legislation. A bipartisan group of senators has reached a deal on a bill, and listeners weigh-in on if the proposal is enough of a response to mass shootings. Guests also unpack revelations from the Jan. 6 hearings, the 50th anniversary of Watergate and what a post-Roe v. Wade Iowa could look like as the final U.S. Supreme Court ruling looms.
