“We Ought To Work Together To Find Common Ground”: GOP Senator On Gun Control

On Thursday night, President Biden addressed the nation about recent gun violence throughout the country calling for Congress to act saying, “After Columbine, after Sandy Hook, after Charleston, after Orlando, after Las Vegas, after Parkland, nothing has been done. This time that can’t be true.” Earlier that day, the House Judiciary Committee was locked in fierce debate and disagreement about the Democrats’ proposed gun legislation. Meanwhile, a bipartisan group in the Senate continued negotiations on what a compromise on gun safety might look like. U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) joins the podcast to discuss why gun control must be a bipartisan conversation to work, why he believes we must prioritize America’s fiscal responsibilities over aid to Ukraine and his plan to balance the federal budget and give taxpayers a smaller government.
