LGM Podcast: Firearm Supply Shocks and Canyons of Violence
By 
Our guest for the latest Lawyers, Guns and Money Podcast is Dr. Geoffrey Williams, an economist at Transylvania University. Geoff and I talk about some of his latest work, which looks at shocks in firearm supply during the 1980s and 1990s, and how these interacted with the crack epidemic to produce an increase in urban violence. Towards the end of the podcast we discuss what the availability of 3D printed firearms might mean for future supply shocks.
