Po Murray, Founder and Chairwoman of Newtown Action Alliance, joins Deepak Puri in an interview about ending gun violence. After the shooting at her local Sandy Hook Elementary School, Po took a fresh look at gun control and the role she could play in keeping weapons of war out of the hands of civilians like her neighbor who shot and murdered 26 people that day.

Po and Deepak discuss:

  • Working with survivors of gun violence to create a sea change in the dialogue about guns
  • Role of revenue from the sales of weapons of war in lobbying for relaxed gun laws
  • Marketing of assault weapons to young people
  • Need for individuals to speak up to their elected officials about the need for an assault weapon ban
  • Lunch lobby sessions to urge Congress and other elected officials to act
