Following the tragic shooting in an Orlando nightclub that claimed the lives of 49 people, there is again public outcry over gun control and the legality of owning powerful firearms like the assault rifle that was used in the attack. A Philadelphia Daily News columnist reported this week that she was able to purchase an AR-15 rifle in just seven minutes on Monday. Our guest on this part of the program was Ladd Everitt,Director of Communications for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, one of the leading gun control organizations in the country.
