Gun violence in the U.S. is widespread, commonplace, and massively at odds with figures from other developed countries. In today's program, host Jorge Gestoso interviews Ladd Everitt of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. They discuss the relationship between gun ownership and homicides; the historical basis and implications of gun culture in the U.S.; the power of the National Rifle Association's, its ideology and ties to the gun industry; and new grass roots movements for gun control and the need for industry regulation. teleSUR
