778: Long Gun

Gayle King and ShootingTracker.com Statistics Discussion

Gayle King confronts Paul Ryan with statistics from ShootingTracker.com, claiming there have been 354 mass shootings in the U.S. since January. The hosts deconstruct this exchange, questioning the definition of a "mass shooting" and the validity of the frequency metrics used by the media. They suggest the numbers are being manipulated to create a sense of urgency for gun legislation.
