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.

0:00.0	The following podcast is a dear media production.
0:04.0	I have been very open about my political views over the years and I have made it very clear
0:10.8	who I will be voting for and supporting this upcoming presidential
0:15.2	election in November and that is why I am so honored to be partnering with the
0:19.8	Harris for president campaign. Kamala Harris is offering a new way forward for the American people.
0:25.0	She believes it's time to finally turn the page on Trump
0:28.0	and build a future where our freedoms are protected
0:31.0	and anything is possible if we create the right
0:33.7	foundation for it. She will create an opportunity economy and bring down
0:37.4	costs whether it be groceries or housing or prescription drugs so that every
0:41.8	American with hard work and ambition has a chance to compete and a chance to succeed.
0:47.0	Something I feel very passionately about and talk about often on my platform is women's reproductive freedom and that is one of the main
0:54.0	reasons I will be supporting Kamala Harris in the presidential election in
0:57.8	November. The importance of this topic is also why I do not want Trump's Extreme Project 2025 agenda in action.
1:06.0	It gives him unprecedented and unchecked power to do whatever he wants, especially when it comes
1:11.2	to the rights over our bodies.
1:13.8	I am urging you all to get involved
