In this episode we bring you Part 9 of Brendan\\u2019s Solving Guns project. After the horrific events in Texas, we shift the focus to ways that we can improve the police response to mass public shootings.

This is a multi-part series that we are sharing first with our polilogue listeners\\u2014a project that is years in the making.  The goal is to examine every form of gun violence, to go deep on the reasons why people own guns in the first place, and to find solutions without passing gun restricting laws. Not because these types of laws are a bad idea or a good idea\\u2014but because there is so much else that can be done more immediately to reduce gun violence. Whether you love guns or hate them, my hope is that the solutions here can unite those on the left and the right behind one goal: to save lives. Something we can all agree on. 

You can find this project, with written versions and some videos online at www.SolvingGuns.org.  You can also find access to the 2000-plus pages of facts and statistics that Brendan leaned on for this project.
