Take 2 – Mass shootings, municipal elections and Huntsman resignation

The three-member panel discussed the recent shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, which brings the total number of such incidents up to at least 17 this year. 

Additional topics discussed include:

  • MASS SHOOTINGS: What can be done? A space for hopes, prayers, regulation and change.

  • JON HUNTSMAN, JR. RESIGNATION AS U.S. AMBASSADOR TO RUSSIA:  How would he shake up the governor race or would he?
