About this episode
Governor Tim Walz signed two executive orders Tuesday aimed at gun violence prevention. The first expands outreach and education on extreme risk protection orders, which is a law that allows for guns to be taken away from people deemed to be a risk to themselves or others. It also will promote safe firearm storage. And lastly will look to require insurance companies to provide data on the cost of gun violence. The second executive order establishes a statewide safety council. Rep. Emma Greenman, DFL-Minneapolis, who represents the area of south Minneapolis where Annunciation is located, joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about it.
