Podcast: How One Maine Group Fights Back Against Gun Violence

The Maine Gun Safety Coalition is working to enact "common sense" gun control in the state.

Cate talks with Geoff Bickford of the Maine Gun Safety Coalition (on Facebook) about the work that organization is doing to enact “common sense” gun control in Maine, and how the lack of gun laws is hurting Mainers and people outside the state.

They also discuss the coalition’s Show Up Network, which brings Mainers who want change into the fight for gun regulation in Maine.
