The Dori Monson Show is on KIRO Newsradio (weekdays Noon-3).

NRA President and retired Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North stopped by The Dori Monson Show Wednesday to talk about the 2020 field of Democratic presidential candidates, and to go over new gun laws in Washington state.

“None of these things are going to stop the kinds of heinous crimes we’ve been watching over the past several years,” he told Monson. “When you look at some of these acts — these mass killings — the legislation that Washington, and many other states, are enacting aren’t going to stop any of these.”

You can listen to the full, two-part interview below, and tune into The Dori Monson Show weekdays between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m.
