Challenging Minority Rule and Advocating for Sensible Gun Control
Instances of minority rule impacting legislative decisions have been observed, leading to challenges in passing bills such as immigration and gun registration. The need to de-gerimander, remove money from politics, and counter the influence of effective lobby groups has been emphasized. The speaker highlighted the polarization around issues like arming teachers post the Parkland shooting and the importance of sensible gun control measures. The personal impact of school safety concerns due to gun violence led to reflections on the significance of these societal issues and the decision to relocate to London temporarily for safety reasons.
