Dan Baum, “Gun Guys, A Road Trip” Author and Self-Identified Jewish Liberal Democrat Says “My party has an institutional hostility to firearms.”
March 6, 2013
Here’s an interesting 4:07 interview with Dan Baum, a former staff writer for the New Yorker and author of “Gun Guys, A Road Trip”, a self-identified Jewish liberal Democrat. In it he says, “My party has an institutional hostility to firearms.” Finally, some truth from a Democrat about gun control.
“There are all kinds of things we could do that have nothing to do with gun bans. But it would involve including the gun guys in the debate and what we’ve done now, with all this talk of assault rifle bans and magazine bans, is we’ve driven them out of the debate. We’ve driven them into this defensive crouch that they often go into… It’s just a pity that the very people who know guns the best, who could have a lot to add to how we can live safely among these guns, are not part of the conversation… My party has an institutional hostility to firearms…”
