About this listen

Episode 3: “Why Politicians Avoid Compromise” explores the political incentives that make bipartisan gun legislation nearly impossible, even when proposed policies have broad public support. The episode explains how primary elections, interest-group pressure, media dynamics, and deep mistrust between gun-rights and gun-control advocates punish lawmakers who seek middle ground. Through real-world examples, it shows why compromise often damages political careers while rewarding ideological purity. The result is a system where gun policy becomes a tool for mobilizing bases rather than solving problems—locking Congress into polarization, gridlock, and missed opportunities for meaningful reform.
