On the latest episode of TAG, we’re joined by former Illinois Republican Congressman and 2020 GOP Presidential Candidate Joe Walsh: a self-proclaimed “gun nut” who tells us what propelled his evolution from Tea Party member with an A rating from the NRA to outspoken gun safety advocate. 97Percent’s newest board member explains why “it’s going to take someone like me helping to lead the way to get change”; “it can’t be the Dems out in front.” He shares the feedback he’s received from gun owners and how “they’re looking for a vehicle to jump on to.” Also, in the latest edition of Siegel’s Scope, Dr. Michael Siegel examines the effect of state gun laws on the incidence and severity of mass shootings.
