Red Flag, Talking To The Past

Scott Pelley reports in the wake of mass shootings on how states have turned to ‘Red Flag’ laws that allow law enforcement to temporarily remove firearms from someone posing a threat. Colorado just passed such a law but residents there are fiercely divided—half the counties have declared themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries, with some sheriffs vowing not to enforce the law; produced by Ashley Velie. 75 years ago, the world was convulsed by a very different crisis than the pandemic we face today – the end of World War II. As Holocaust survivors near the end of their lives, Lesley Stahl reports in a double-length segment that thanks to a new project using artificial intelligence technology, they will be able to keep having conversations and telling their stories forever, produced by Shari Finkelstein. These previously broadcast segments have been updated for this summer edition.
