Description

Gun violence is surging. Despite lockdowns and social distancing, 2020 ended up as one of America’s most violent years in decades. 2021 is following a similar path. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden has laid out his strategy. In this special debate, we review three gun debates that still have relevance today. 
 
1.) The Constitutional Right To Bear Arms Has Outlived Its Usefulness (Sanford Levinson of 
University of Texas Law School and David Kopel of Cato Institute) 
2. Guns Reduce Crime (John Lott, economist, and former Seattle Police Chief Gil 
Kerlikowske) 
3. Unresolved American Policing (Paul Butler, Jason Johnson, Rafael Mangual, Sue 
Rahr, Vikrant Reddy)
