Jeanine Pirro Pledges DC Carry Crackdown; ATF Nominee Sails Through Confirmation Hearing

from The Weekly Reload Podcast · host Stephen Gutowski

Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I discuss US Attorney Jeanine Pirro's recent comments promising to crack down on gun carry in Washington DC, which drew widespread criticism from gun-rights supporters. We discuss how they arrived as DC police still haven't resumed publishing data on gun crime arrest statistics despite pledging to do so. We also cover the relatively uncontroversial confirmation hearing for Trump's ATF Director nominee, Robert Cekada.
