b'In the aftermath of a series of horrible mass shootings across the country, there is a knee-jerk reaction to demonize gun owners and call for sweeping gun control legislation.\\nBut more often than not, those in the media and political classes calling for assault weapon bans and other gun control don\'t understand the very things they\'re legislating.\\n"There\'s just a complete lack of basic knowledge on the topic of firearms," says Stephen Gutowski. "How they work, how they\'re regulated, what the politics even are around them, why people oppose different policies that are often put forward in the wake of these shootings."\\nGutowski is a firearms reporter and founder of gun news site thereload.com.\\nHe joins this bonus episode of The Daily Signal Podcast to discuss gun laws, and proposed gun control legislation.\\nListen to the podcast or read the lightly edited transcript below.\\n Hosted on Acast.
