Turning the Tide on Gun Legislation

Welcome back to another inspiring episode of The Hot Dish, where we delve into the pressing issues shaping America's rural and small-town communities. Our hosts, Heidi and Joel Heitkamp, guide us through a compelling conversation with two remarkable guests who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience from their respective fields.

First, we hear from fourth-generation farmer Harold Wilken, who shares his transformative journey into sustainable organic farming. He discusses the importance of sustainable practices for the future of farming.

Afterwards, we welcome Alabama State Rep. Phil Ensler, who sheds light on his courageous legislative efforts to ban gun conversion devices. Listen further about the complexities of advocating for gun control, the bipartisan support his bill has garnered, and the crucial role of education in demonstrating the dangers of trigger activators. Rep. Ensler's dedication to public safety and his unwavering commitment to his constituents offer valuable lessons in political courage and the potential for impactful legislation.
