On this week’s Washington Week:
Heated Gun Debate: Tempers flared in the halls of Congress this week over how to address gun violence following the deadly elementary school shooting in Nashville. President Biden and Democrats are calling for the assault weapons ban to be reinstated, as Republicans call any legislative action “premature”.
