Ex-NPR CEO Admits Gun Control Doesn’t Work, Still Supports It Anyway

On Tuesday’s Morning Joe, former CEO of NPR Ben Stern came on the show to promote his new book Republican Like Me. Most of the segment with Stern focused on the book’s themes of political polarization in the U.S. being a distortion of Americans’ true unity as a “moderate country” and Stern’s experiences speaking to Trump voters about their beliefs. However, at the end of the discussion, Stern oddly made the case that while ‘most’ ‘gun control measures’ would not have a ‘major effect’ on gun homicides, he was still ‘fine’ with those very same restrictions on Americans’ Second Amendment rights.
