NPR show on gun control.

[Mulay El Raisuli]

Does NPR put out transcripts of shows? I.E., is there anywhere I can go to read what was said?

2nd this request. Would love to read it.

Write the producers and request one, thats what I would I would do. They may not have one.

Can I ask why a transcript in addition to listening to the show?

If Adam Winkler is the "anti" in this debate, we are on pretty solid ground... My question is, all this talk about "reasonable gun laws", what about the 20,000+ we have on the books already?

We need a total reform of gun laws and enforcement (ATF) in this country based on the SCOTUS decisions and the trend towords shall issue permiting. How about scrap all of NFA and most GCA and the laws and EO's pertaining to importation and we'll start discussing "reasonable"...

FYI, the link by the OP takes you to the particular show, which lists the episodes in chronological order and can be played on demand. Just look for the one entitled "The US Gun Fight", currently the 2nd one down on the list.

Thank you. I tried several times but it wouldn't play. I'll try again.

You can also hit the "download" link to the right if the player is not working for you.

which channel is NPR?

Wow.

UCLA Law Professor Adam Winkler and Ed Peruta are the guests. Felt both handled themselves well. Here is link.

Carry issues are a big part of discussion.

Thanks very much for sharing that link, it was a very interesting discussion. Connecticut Public Radio does a great job.

I had never heard that show, "Where We Live," and it's not broadcast on my local NPR affiliate, KQED.

The hope was that I could read the transcript instead of listening to the show. I can read a whole lot faster than I can listen. Also, scheduling a listen isn't easy.

But now I know how to listen on my time & I'll give that a shot.

Thanks.

OK. I listened to it. Interesting! I've never heard Mr. Peruta speak before & I find him to be a fairly good spokesman for our cause. I wish he had been given a little more time to go into Nunn v. State (AKA, Nunn v. Georgia), a case I am very fond of.

But Winkler. What to say about him? I don't know that he's intelletually honest so much as he's being as tricky as most Liberals. He does like using 'key phrases' that don't really reflect reality. He starts out by saying that we have a problem with "gun violence" in this country. Actually, we don't. No country does. The problem is with VIOLENCE, not with how it gets perpetrated. Rwanda didn't spend the summer of 1994 having a problem with "machete violence." They had a problem with mass murder. I tend to doubt the basic honesty of anyone using terms like that.

No time to follow the link to the comments & such. Maybe I'll find a transcript there. Maybe I won't. Still, this was well worth the time spent.

They were extremely effective at the tactical mission of full-auto weapons: providing covering fire. Without their full-auto covering fire any one of the cops nearby could have popped up from behind his cruiser and taken them both out with head shots with his service sidearm. They were that close.

I think you watch too many police shows on TV. How many times do police successfully get off a head shot with their handgun vs. The number of times they miss and hit innocent bystanders?

I'm still trying to catch the show. Obviously, you're reading with a critical mind. Just cause a show has two proponents arguing a point of view does not make it fair, balanced, nor pure journalism. It also what questions the moderator ask or not ask, what "key phrases" are used to frame the debate, ie far right vs far left, gun violence, immigration, undocumented worker, etc. I mean isn't this why we are encouraged to replace CCW with LTC.

I don't watch teevee at all.

The point is, the full-auto weapons were doing exactly what they were designed to do: keep the enemy's heads down.
