Ghost Guns Now a Proven Untraceable and Undetectable Tool For Assassins
We begin with the arrest of a 26-year old at a McDonalds in Pennsylvania who had a ghost gun with a 3D-printed silencer in his backpack which was allegedly used to assassinate the CEO of UnitedHealthcare and examine why untraceable and undetectable firearms are so easily available as kits for anyone with a 3D printer to work around the gun laws in states that have them. Joining us is John J. Donohue III, a Professor of Law at Stanford Law School and Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. He has written numerous publications on gun control policy and is the author of Shooting Down The More Guns, Less Crime Hypothesis.
America’s Dual System of Justice: Punishing Street Criminals While Corporate CEO’s Get a Slap on the Wrist
Then, with the shooter likely to get the book thrown at him while corporate CEO’s will be getting enhanced private security, we look into our two-tiered system of justice where street criminals get harsh sentences and corporate criminals often end up with a slap on the wrist. Joining us to discuss the eagerness to incarcerate America’s most marginalized citizens while never developing the capacity to consistently prosecute corporate wrongdoing is Anthony Grasso, a professor of political science at Rutgers University. He studies American political development, law, criminal justice, and racial and class inequality and is the author of the new book, just out, Dual Justice: America’s Divergent Approaches to Street and Corporate Crime.

He is the editor and publisher of The Editorial Board, a daily newsletter about politics in plain English for the common good, and we discuss his article at RawStory, “Kash Patel’s top enemy probably isn’t who you think it is.”
