TAG: Talking About Guns
Talking About Guns is a podcast created to demystify a typically loaded and polarizing topic, featuring a variety of guests who represent different perspectives in the gun safety debate. Our guests approach and dissect a wide range of gun-related topics and issues including relevant national news, personal stories, safety training, access to firearms, constitutional rights and freedoms, responsible gun ownership, gun culture, gun policy, and the role of firearms in keeping our communities safe.

S2 E18: “This isn’t just the NRA with a Latino coat of paint” – Talking About Guns with Latino Rifle Association
In the latest episode of TAG, we chat with Latino Rifle Association President, P.B. Gomez, about the deliberate irony of the organization's name, how the LRA is opposed to certain cultural norms of gun ownership, why gun “laws with good intentions have consequences for marginalized communities,” and his goal of making more gun safety education content available in Spanish.
Dr. Siegel also joins us for another edition of “Siegel’s Scope,” where he talks about police shootings of Black victims and how the issue is being framed inaccurately. He explains why rates vary so much across the country and why body cams and implicit racial bias training are not the right solutions.
