As of the time this episode is released there have been 30 more. 97 Percent is probably one of the most important statistic, and organizations, you've never heard of but you should start paying attention.  97Percent’s mission is to reduce gun deaths in America by changing the conversation around gun safety to include gun owners, conducting original research to identify common ground, and leveraging technology to make our communities safer. Their name was inspired by a 2018 Quinnipiac University poll, which found that 97% of Americans support universal background checks: a critical gun safety policy that has yet to be made into federal law. This week we hear from 97 Percent's Executive Director, Mathew Littman to hear more about what their organization is doing and how they are keeping Americans safe from gun violence.
