On this episode of Talking Left, we discussed the 30+ gun deaths that occur every day in our country and the regulations (or lack there of) surrounding them. In the wake of the horrific tragedy that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut, which left 26 people dead - 20 of them children, the country needs to be discussing sensible gun regulations. We may never be able to eliminate violence from mentally-ill individuals, but we can certainly limit their access to weapons of mass murder and make streets and schools safer for our children. First, we were joined by Cliff Schecter - an out-spoken advocate for increased gun regulations. His work with Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Fix Gun Checks has been pivotal in making people aware of the numerous, needless gun deaths that occur in this country every day - and what we can do to stop them. Next, we heard from Karl Frisch, of Bull Fight Strategies, about his take on the Connecticut tragedy, how it will effect the news cycle, and how the "talking heads" on the Right are already reacting. Last, we spoke with Lee Papa - otherwise known as The Rude Pundit - about Antonin Scalia's immoral rulings on guns, gays, and the Bill of Rights. As always, Dr. Rude didn't fail to add some much-needed levity to the show, given the intense topic! Thanks to Rocky Mountain Mike for writing and producing our incredible theme music!
