So some people are trying to confront the problem another way – through tackling the image of guns in society. Mariana Amatullo and Elisa Ruffino of Art Center College of Art and Design, explain a pilot project they’ve launched with LAUSD called “Where’s Darryl,” that tries to teach kids guns are “Uncool.” Meanwhile, a group called Moms Demand Action also believes the messaging around guns has to change. DnA went to the E3 gaming show to find out what attendees thought about such an effort. We heard a range of opinions from Kelvin Valencia, Kenya Vasquez, Daniel Garcia, Trent Blair, Kristin Perez, Amber Gregerson and Phil Owen

Press Play with Madeleine Brand
Accusations of lying fly between James Comey and White House During his testimony Thursday, former FBI Director James Comey accused President Trump and other White House officials of lying when they said the FBI was in disarray and its staff had lost confidence in him. President Trump’s lawyer said Comey was wrong -- that the president never asked for his loyalty, and never asked him to back off the investigation into former NSA director Michael Flynn.

Securing Public Spaces, Super Wealthy Asians Vehicles are increasingly being used as weapons, as seen in the London Bridge attack over the weekend and in New York’s Times Square last month. The Compton-based company Calpipe is designing security bollards to help make public spaces safer. And novelist Kevin Kwan satirizes the “crazy rich” Asian jet set and their luxurious tastes in his latest book, “Rich People Problems.”
The Business
In 'Speechless,' Scott Silveri combines comedy, family & disability Scott Silveri has written and produced sitcoms for more than 20 years. In all that time, he never encountered a TV family that looked anything like the one he grew up in -- with a mom, a dad...and a brother with cerebral palsy. He changed that with his show Speechless on ABC. Silveri tells us about looking to his own past for stories, and why he was determined to make a family comedy and not just a "disability show."
