Moyers & Company. A New Case for Gun Control
Description
The death of Trayvon Martin ignited debate not just over our justice system, but on legislation such as the "stand your ground" laws that contributed to the tragic result. In this edition of Moyers & Company, Bill talks with author and gun control advocate Tom Diaz about how a lethal combination of self-defense laws and concealed carry laws - championed by the NRA and the gun industry - dilutes our legal protections against gun violence. He warns that the genie is out of the bottle and we should be gravely concerned about the unrelenting marketing of guns. Diaz's latest book is The Last Gun: How Changes in the Gun Industry Are Killing Americans and What It Will Take to Stop It.
