Following the horrendous mass-shooting in Las Vegas, where 59 lives were taken and over 500 were injured, we took a deeper dive into common sense gun prevention and discussed what elected officials from across the country can do to prevent future gun-violence. We first sat down with former Wisconsin State Representative Mandela Barnes who shares why this issue is important and necessary to dissect (00:00 – 20:45) and in the other half we talked with Arizona State Representative Daniel Hernandez (20:50 – 50:40) , who is known for his heroic act in saving Representative Gabby Giffords’s life after she was shot in 2011.
