On this episode of Path to the White House, Scripps News Reports breaks down the evolving battle over gun rights in America.

We track promises on gun regulation from President Biden and former President Trump, and we talk to lawmakers in Nevada working to enact new laws to curb gun crime in the state — and the state officials who don't believe existing gun laws need to change.

We investigate the evolution and influence of the gun lobby in the United States, hear from real voters on the firearms issues that matter to them, and explain the technologies like fingerprint locks and motion sensors that proponents say could make guns safer.
