Gun violence statistics in America are growing increasingly dire, but as a country we have not moved any closer towards resolution of the gun policy debate.

Furthermore, our panel will offer some ideas and discussion about new ways to frame the issue, in hopes of fostering alignment to create improved policies around gun safety.
