Season 2023 Episode 13 | 9m 31s

The debate over guns in America is again rising after a deadly school shooting in Nashville. Republicans in Washington responded to the tragedy by saying it is too soon to judge while President Biden admitted that he has exhausted all of his executive authority to act on gun violence. Wednesday evening, the growing tension between the two parties boiled over into the hallways of Congress.
