Emma Barnett meets...: Fred Guttenberg
Fred Guttenberg’s daughter was murdered in a 2018 mass school shooting in Parkland, Florida. Since then, he’s become a prominent opponent of the gun industry, its lobby and the lawmakers it funnels money too. As the drumbeat of gun-fueled killings across America continues to accelerate, Guttenberg has loudly called out members of Congress and other politicians for a lack of action, saying they have “blood on their hands.”
Guttenberg joined Emma Barnett meets… to discuss the lack of gun regulation in America, where a Republican-appointed supermajority of the Supreme Court has continued to expand gun rights, and how his daughter’s death prompted him to take a stand against gun violence.
