Seattle City Councilmember Bruce Harrell says he wants to explore the idea of a ballot initiative to let cities pass their own gun laws. Cities are not currently allowed to regulate guns beyond existing state law. We'll talk with Harrell about what changes he'd propose for Seattle, and hear reaction from Joe Waldron of the Gun Owners Action League of Washington.

Also this hour: Bored with eggnog? We get recommendations for holiday libations from cocktail enthusiast Paul Clarke. Plus, what do we say to our children about gun violence? What do we say to each other? We'll try to get to the heart of the matter with Yvette Moy and Cyrus Habib.
