Immediately following a mass shooting, public officials will say that “now is not the time” to discuss what changes—for example, making it more difficult to get an assault weapon—could have prevented the shooting, yet once the media cycle moves on, so does the momentum for change.

Guest: Brett Cross, father of Uziyah Garcia, who was killed at Robb Elementary School in May 2022.
