Boston Bombings and Gun Safety - Apr 17,2013

Karoli & Cynematic on todays show. With a Senate vote scheduled for 4 pm Eastern today on universal background checks and other key components of gun safety legislation, comprehensive immigration reform introduced by the Gang of 8, and a horrific bombing in Boston that killed 3 and maimed or seriously injured hundreds more – this has been a week that is testing our country in numerous ways. Are we resolved? Resilient? Can we secure the improvements to gun safety laws we need even as we face the NRA's opposition to the use of chemical taggants in explosives? Of one thing there's no doubt: the Boston Marathon bombing has inspired MORE people to defy the fear the incident was meant to provoke. On today's show we'll talk about all of this AND the moneyed interests that use social media to try to divide and conquer progressives. Weekly political discussion from the progressive POV, hosted by the MOMocrats. Produced by Engender Media Group.
