BREAKDOWN ASL PODCAST | EP. 4: 'They Controlled It All'

Season 2024 Episode 16 | 44m 16s

When a gunman opened fire in Lewiston, Maine, in October 2023, he used an autoloading rifle. Episode 4 of the ASL-interpreted video of the "Breakdown" podcast examines the history and politics of guns and hunting in Maine, the state’s unique “yellow flag” gun laws and its powerful gun lobby, which shaped state officials’ response to the Lewiston shootings.
