Malcolm Gladwell Says We’ve Been Thinking About Gun Violence All Wrong

Malcolm Gladwell (journalist, podcast host, and author, “The American Way of Killing”) joins Chris Cuomo to explain why America has fundamentally misunderstood its gun violence epidemic. Gladwell challenges the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the Second Amendment, examines its controversial historical origins, and argues that the country’s focus on assault weapons and mass shootings distracts from the greater toll of handguns and suicide. He also makes the case for more police officers and fewer people in prison, discusses the political divisions preventing meaningful reform, and weighs in on the future of MAGA and Donald Trump.
