Why mass shootings in America don't result in new gun laws
from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy
America has experienced yet another mass school shooting, this one at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. Every time this happens, people ask why it happens so much in the United States compared to other countries. Why does the gun culture in the United States and access to guns seem immune from legislative regulation, even after mass shootings? Why does it seem like nothing ever changes, no matter how many people are killed, even children? Are we ever going to do something, anything, to end or reduce mass shootings in America? We asked Dr. Susan Liebell, Professor of Political Science at Saint Joseph's University to come back on the podcast to talk about guns, mass shootings, and legislative paralysis in the United States.
