23 People. Opposing Views on Guns. One Surprising Outcome. – BJ Campbell and Dr. Eric Fleegler
About this episode
BJ Campbell and Dr. Eric Fleegler discuss their year-long experiment to find common ground on gun policies despite opposing views.
BJ Campbell, a Second Amendment advocate, and Dr. Eric Fleegler, a physician and researcher focused on preventing gun violence, were part of a year-long experiment—two dozen people with radically different views on guns meeting month after month to find common ground on policy. It sounds impossible. At first, even they thought it would fail. But something surprising happened: they were able to create a set of gun policies they could all stand behind. How did they do it?
