Join "Mind Over Murder" hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley for a discussion of "Mass Shootings: Where Do We Go from Here?" Among the issues covered are whether law enforcement and the media should be releasing the so-called manifestos of mass shooters, and how the media should be educating the public as to the physical damage being done to shooting victims by AR-15 style rifles and other high velocity weapons of war. Does publishing the rantings of mass killers benefit the public in any way? Do these high powered weapons even have a place in the civilian world? Should they be sold to anyone beyond the military and law enforcement? This bonus episode of "Mind Over Murder" originally ran on May 8, 2023.
