Ep. 43: Gun Control and the Left w/ Daniel Denvir

Dead Pundits Society

Joining me this week is Daniel Denvir, host of The Dig Podcast and author of a new piece at In These Times on gun control called, “We Can Fight for Gun Control Without Locking People Up.” We talk about the recent school shooting in Parkland, Florida and what kind of movement needs to coalesce around these students in order to make it successful. We deal with a number of controversial questions concerning the left and guns: Should the left fight for gun control? How do we achieve gun control without locking people up? What do we make of the legacy of guns and the black freedom struggle? Check out Daniel’s writings on guns control here: -“We Can Fight for Gun Control Without Locking People Up,” http://inthesetimes.com/article/20947/gun-control-disarm-police-mass-incarceration-parkland-socialism-nra -“A Better Gun Control,” https://www.jacobinmag.com/2016/09/gun-control-mass-incarceration-drug-war-nra-shooters ***To catch my B-Side conversation with Daniel, head over to www.patreon.com/deadpundits and subscribe today*** ——————————- Twitter: @deadpundits Facebook: www.facebook.com/deadpunditssociety Patreon: www.patreon.com/deadpundits iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id1212081214 Soundcloud: www.soundcloud.com/deadpundits
