Roxane Gay has written extensively about everything from Black feminism to office culture – and now she tackles a new topic: gun ownership. The author and contributing opinion writer for The New York Times joins host Krys Boyd to discuss her surprise at the thrill of shooting, why owning a gun is a political act for a Black American and what “stand your ground” laws mean to her. She writes about this in “Stand Your Ground,” an ebook/audiobook original essay found on the subscription service Everand.

There are more guns than people in the United States. About half of the guns in the world are owned by Americans. About 45,000 Americans die from gunshot wounds each year, and more than 100,000 survive shootings. We view guns as inherently masculine, and there is distinct racial coding in how we perceive guns and gun use in this country. Still the fastest growing demographic of gun owners is women, and Black women in particular. In a new essay on the Everand platform called “Stand Your Ground: A Black Feminist Reckoning with America's gun Problem”, Roxanne Gay unpacks gun culture and gun ownership in America from a Black feminist perspective.

In the early morning hours following the 4th of July celebrations in Moorpark, CA a security guard spots what he assumed was a drunk driving incident. But when he approached the accident he realized something more sinister had occurred at the intersection between Highway 23 and Los Angeles Avenue. The investigation that would follow would reveal the depth to which humanity could reach.  Sponsor: Miracle Made Upgrade your sleep with Miracle Made!
