Interrupting the Next Mass Shooting – Chapter Three, Episode 4 – Security, Culture, and Laws

What exactly are “common sense gun laws”?  Are they simply in the eye of the beholder?  Can you protect Second Amendment rights while implementing stricter gun policies?  Do gun laws work in deterring mass shootings?  Are reactive gun laws effective in the aftermath of a shooting?  WGN’s Ryan Burrow digs deeper into laws that are introduced, strengthened and criticized following a mass shooting.  Northwestern University Professor Lori Post explains her research on the effectiveness of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons ban.  Dr. Shannon Fratarolli, a professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, discusses her extensive research on Extreme Risk Protection orders, and what many would call “Red Flag Laws.”  And Dr. David Riedman, a professor of security and risk management, and the creator of the K-12 School Shooting Database, looks into the inconsistency in laws state-to-state on accountability among parents and guardians of a young shooter.
