Your take: gun control
In the wake of Saturday’s tragic shooting, Americans are searching for someone or something to blame. Takeaway listeners weigh in on whether it’s the fault of a disturbed man or the ease with which he purchased his gun. Do we need stricter gun control laws? One listener texted from Pontiac, Michigan: There are so many firearms currently in circulation that any further discussion of gun control may already be academic.
