Demarco is with us, for marylanders trying to prevent gun violence, and hes with attorneys. You heard dr. Monget before the break, and her desire that we allow federal dollars for research, and is it reasonable to begin there .

We know, yes, observely what works and doesnt work, but we cant count the number of homes that currently use gun locks or safe boxes.

So for more than a year, despite his formal credentialed to be the top doc, morphy was not confirmed. After the midterm blowout of 2015, senators worried about the power of gun owner oceans, now defeated for reelection, were able to confirm dr. Morphy out the door. The national discussion, debate, argument, whatever you want to call it about guns has often argued the two sides shouting the same things at each other year after year, across an enormous chasm. Shootings gain a lot of attention, but the country is basically stuck. I know that there are some w
