Focus on Carson: Lawmakers try, try again on gun control

About this episode

The episode discusses the renewed efforts for gun control measures in Nevada and the impact of the Trump administration's cancellation of pandemic-era grants.

Gun control measures that were vetoed in 2023 came back again for an emotional hearing this week, even though their odds look slim. And the Trump administration canceled pandemic-era grants supporting vaccine and mental health programs, leading to layoffs. Nevada Independent reporters Isabella Aldrete and Eric Neugeboren recap the week for Focus on Carson , a program produced by KNVC community radio in Carson City.
