Rachel Maddow visited Pittsburgh to cover the NRA's national convention there last weekend, and she talked to City Councilman Rev. Randy Burgess, who represents Homewood, one of the poorest and most crime-ridden neighborhoods in urban America. Burgess challenged the NRA to come to his district and to see what gun violence had done to his community. Rachel's interview with him and tour of Homewood is nothing short of astonishing.
Part 2 of the interview:
As I've said before, responsible gun ownership, which the NRA strongly advocates, is one thing. But the rampant gun culture in this country is something entirely different, and that dark side of that debate is seen in neighborhoods like Homewood every day. It's heartbreaking, and it continues to happen because increasingly, it seems like the rest of us just don't give a damn because everybody has their own problems.
I'm betting not everybody has problems like this.
