Driving the Change for Banning Assault Weapons with Kitty Brandtner, founder and co-president of March Fourth

  • Summary

  • In this episode, I sit down with Kitty Brandtner, founder and co-president of March Fourth, to discuss the organization’s push for gun reform in the U.S. and why federally banning assault weapons is their singular goal. Kitty shares the string of events that led her to founding March Fourth, why radical gun reform viewpoints aren’t moving the needle forward, and why a federal assault weapons ban is the simplest and most effective path. She explains the history of assault weapons bans in the U.S., how we arrived at our current mass shooting epidemic, and how the mental health impact from gun violence has a ripple effect throughout a community. We also talk about bringing children up in the era of lockdown drills, holding onto hope and the recent progress that March Fourth has made, actionable items we can all take to help March Fourth’s initiative, and more.Key Takeaway / Points:What led to Kitty founding March FourthOn March Fourth’s mission and tempered radicalism On the history of assault weapons bans in the U.S.How we arrived at our current mass shooting epidemicOn the mental health impact of our trauma-filled realityOn bringing children up in the era of lockdown drillsOn hope and the recent progress that has been madeOn actionable items we can all take now to help March Fourth’s initiativeWhy calling our representatives mattersWhat Kitty does to fill her cupBuy the Quiet Your Mind Journal and Adult Affirmation Coloring Book hereThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
