New Study Contradicts "More Guns = More Crime" Theory

Dr. Mark Hamill, a trauma surgeon and associate professor at the University of Nebraska Medical Center who was a primary author and researcher for the new study, joins Cam on today's show to discuss his findings and the current state of "gun violence" research in the medical community.
