This midterm, many Republican candidates nationwide have made crime a focal point of their campaign, while democrats have largely steered clear of the issue.

WTBU Reporter Tyler Carroll discussed these dangers with Ruth Zakarin; the executive director of the Massachusetts Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence, and John Rosenthal; the founder of Stop Handgun Violence.
