What happens when a gun violence prevention researcher walks into a gun shop, sits down with the owner, and actually listens? For Dr. Michael Siegel, it changed everything.
In this episode, Wilk sits down with Dr. Mike Siegel to talk about his Bridging the Divide on Firearm Policy project — a three-year effort that brought together 23 gun owners and non-gun owners from across the country to find real common ground on gun policy. The result isn't a watered-down compromise. It's a 67-page bipartisan policy framework that both gun rights advocates and gun violence prevention leaders helped write.
They dig into what it actually takes to bridge a divide this charged: the role of respect, the power of listening, and the surprising policy agreements that emerged when people stopped talking past each other and started talking to each other.
If you care about reducing gun violence — or protecting constitutional rights — or both — this one's worth your time.
