Podcasts about gun deaths

Hardly a week goes by in the U.S. without a mass shooting, as the recent shooting at a high school in Georgia earlier this month reminds us of. In that tragedy, a 14-year-old student is suspected of killing two students and two teachers with a semiautomatic assault-style rifle which was legally purchased by his father. The National Rifle Association, along with some conservative lawmakers and the gun lobby argue that mental illness is to blame for mass shootings – not the easy access to firearms.  A new study by researchers at Oregon Health & Science University challenges that view. It compared the U.S. to 40 other countries for the prevalence of mental health disorders and deaths from firearms over a 20-year period, from 2000 to 2019. It found that death by firearms was 20 times greater in the U.S. compared to the other nations, while the prevalence of mental health disorders in the U.S. was similar. It also found that the firearm death rate decreased, on average, in those other countries whereas it increased sharply in the U.S. over that timeframe. Joining us to share details about the study is Archie Bleyer, a pediatric and young adult oncologist at OHSU. 

Reese and Jasmin discuss car accident deaths outpacing gun deaths in NYC so far in 2024, the machinations of a secret group of wealthy Christian conservatives seeking to make the US a white, Christian nation, and France bussing immigrants out of Paris ahead of the summer 2024 Olympic games.

This is an urgent call for change! Gun violence is having a devastating impact on American society. In this episode, Burke argues that the U.S. must address this crisis to save lives and reduce its massive economic toll. Key points include:The staggering human and financial costs of gun violence: 45,000 deaths and $557 billion annuallyDebunking misconceptions about the Second AmendmentProposing concrete solutions, including:Banning assault weapons and extended magazinesImplementing a gun buyback programRequiring licenses for gun ownershipBurke challenges political leaders to treat this as a critical national issue requiring immediate action. He calls for serious candidates to present specific plans for reducing gun deaths, framing it as essential for America's safety, economy, and future. This episode offers a fact-based, non-partisan approach to one of the country's most pressing problems.To download your free copy of A Bold Plan for America: https://aboldplan.com/book/For quizzes, blogs, and more content visit: https://aboldplan.com/See A Bold Plan for America for citations: https://aboldplan.com/download/ABoldPlanforAmerica.pdf 

In the rural South, we are conditioned to a self-image of small communities like fictional Mayberry where crime and violence are almost non-existent and the real dangers from gun violence lurk on the streets and back alleys of Chicago, New York, Detroit, and Los Angeles. However, the mean streets are not limited to the big cities. Rural Mississippians now live squarely in locales prone to gun violence. We don't live in Mayberry in the rural South. We live in a region and a state with a dangerous rate of gun death and gun violence, and we are as a state among the nation's leaders in household gun ownership. The adage in television news is that “if it bleeds, it leads.” In Mississippi, the first 10 minutes of virtually every newscast recount shootings that occur with such frequency as to become commonplace. In Mississippi, we consistently and strongly support the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms for hunting and self-protection. Mississippi does little to interfere with the right to gun ownership, possession, use or acquisition of firearms. We are an open carry state, a Castle Doctrine state, a “stand your ground” state, and one with what are considered by the National Rifle Association and other pro-gun entities as some of the most Second Amendment-friendly gun laws in the country. At the same time, liberal or “progressive” entities supporting limits on Second Amendment rights label Mississippi as having the worst gun laws in the country. The Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence – named for gun violence victim former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona – describes Mississippi's gun laws as follows: “Mississippi has the weakest gun laws in the country and the highest gun death rate…(the state) passed a dangerous permitless carry law in 2016 which allows almost anyone to carry hidden, loaded guns in public without a background check or law enforcement oversight.” From across the political spectrum in the gun law debate, there is ample hyperbole and alarmist rhetoric. But the fact is that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has ranked Mississippi as having the highest rate of gun deaths in the country at 29.6 per 100,000 residents. That's just over double the national rate of 14.2 gun deaths per 100,000 residents. Mississippi was an early milepost in the nation's litany of school shootings when student Luke Woodham killed his mother at their home, then drove to Pearl High School and fatally shot two students and wounded seven others on Oct. 1, 1997. That shooting was a little more than a year after Jackson firefighter Kenneth Tornes killed his wife at home, then drove to Jackson's Central Fire Station and killed four of his supervisors. That was a quarter-century ago. Now, the scourge of gun violence has become more commonplace and pedestrian. Young people are settling what seems to be insanely inconsequential differences and disputes with deadly force using guns. Last year, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association's Surgery found that firearm deaths are more likely in small rural towns than in major urban centers. Data from the CDC showed that politically red states had the highest firearm mortality rates while the politically blue states had lower firearm mortality rates. In Mississippi, 2020 research showed that of gun deaths, 47% were suicides and 47% were homicides. That compared with 61% suicides and 36% homicides nationally that year. From a practical political standpoint, legislation restricting Second Amendment rights is a non-starter at the Mississippi State Capitol. But Mississippi's increasingly consistent rank as the state with the highest rate of gun deaths should concern conservatives and liberals alike. The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities reports that the greatest impact of rising gun death rates is on Black youth. The group cited that “the rate of gun-related deaths for Black youth has increased every year since 2013, with a 108.3% increase from 2013 to 2020 compared to a 47.8% increase for white youth during the same time.” The state with the highest percentage population of Black youth? Mississippi at 42.9%.

The challenge of distributing aid to Gazans who need it most; tracking U.S. data on firearm homicides and suicides; the link between climate change and conflict; and the importance of U.S. support for Ukraine. For more information on this week's episode, visit rand.org/podcast.

Axon's Moonshot initiative has an ambitious goal to drastically reduce gun-related deaths in encounters involving police officers and the public. The primary aim of the Moonshot initiative is to reduce these fatalities by 50% within 10 years. In this episode of the "Policing Matters" podcast, host Jim Dudley engages with Axon's experts to unravel the complexities of officer-involved shootings and the potential for reducing gun fatalities. Axon has initiated an ambitious project: the Axon Public Safety Gun Fatality Database. This database, a product of meticulous research and analysis in collaboration with the Institute for Intergovernmental Research (IIR), aims to provide groundbreaking insights into shooting deaths involving officers and civilians from 2021 through June 2023 across all U.S. jurisdictions. The discussion pivots on the genesis and objectives of Axon's Moonshot goal and the database. Guests Mike Wagers, Senior Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at Axon, and Ty Nguyen, Senior Data Scientist, discuss the unique approach and methodology behind the database, highlighting how it stands apart from existing studies. The episode also explores the initial findings and their implications for enhancing law enforcement training, decision-making and safety.

Hour 1 - Marty talks about the accidental deaths of children because of guns, content on social media, and gets the weekly forecast with Accuweather Meteorologist Dean DeVore. 

“The Origin of The Charlie James Show” “Stats about Gun Deaths across the Globe and Why it Matters” “Joy Behar Doesn't Know how an AR-15 Works” “Sunny Hostin's Lies about ‘Assault Weapons Bans'”

An investigation is underway in St. Paul Thursday after three teenagers were shot overnight near Hazelwood Street and E. Maryland Avenue. One girl died. She is the 27th homicide of the year in St. Paul. Her death is also part of a disturbing trend in gun fatalities among children. A report out today by the American Academy of Pediatrics finds firearm deaths among children have skyrocketed in the U.S. From 2011 to 2021, there was an 87 percent increase. In 2021 alone, 2,590 children died of firearm injuries, making guns the top cause of accidental death in children. Dr. Anupam Kharbanda, Chief of Critical Care Services and a pediatric emergency medicine physician at Children's Minnesota, joined MPR News Host Cathy Wurzer to talk about how to reverse this trend.

Professor David Hemenway, the author of “Private Guns, Public Health” joins us to explain how we can reduce gun deaths if we treat the problem more like a public health issue, just like Ralph proved when dealing with the auto industry. Plus, Ralph weighs in on the repeal of the child tax credit, and Francesco DeSantis reports news items that tend to get ignored in the corporate media in our segment “In Case You Haven't Heard.”David Hemenway is an economist, Professor of Health Policy at Harvard University, and director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center and the Harvard Youth Violence Prevention Center. He is a former Nader's Raider, and he is the author of Private Guns, Public Health,  and While We Were Sleeping: Success Stories in Injury and Violence Prevention.Just by making it harder for criminals to get those guns, we have fewer criminals using those guns. That's a fundamental law of economics and of psychology— if you don't want people to do something, make it harder. If you want them to do it more, make it easier.David HemenwayThe key about public health is: what we're trying to do is prevent. Prevent. Prevent. Prevent. And too often, in the United States, what we try to do is blame. And often, blaming, all it does is say “Oh I don't have to do anything. It's somebody else's fault.”David Hemenway[Reinstituting the Child Tax Credit] is something so simple, it's something that helps so many families, it increases consumer demand because most of this money is spent on the necessities of life… and the Republicans are blocking it in Congress and not paying a political price. And that's the story of the Democratic Party— they don't make the Republicans, who are as cruel as any Republicans in history, pay a price.Ralph NaderIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantis1. A Princeton University study, published at the end of August, traces the effects of unconditional cash transfers on homelessness. Focusing on Vancouver, Canada, researchers gave homeless people $7,500 Canadian. Conforming to the results of previous studies, the subjects used this money to get into housing – yet, what was remarkable about this study is it showed this program actually saved taxpayers money overall by relieving $8,277 per subject by removing them from the shelter system.2. From Axios: 15 Senators have penned a letter to Secretary of State Anthony Blinken urging him to stop the planned admission of Israel into the Visa Waiver program. This program allows a country's citizens to travel within the United States for 90 days without a visa. Built into this program is a provision demanding US citizens in a given country are treated equally – which is not the case for Palestinian Americans living in the West Bank. Israel claims that they are working to achieve compliance with this section of the law; however, this group of Senators argue that “There is no provision in law that provides that a visa waiver country can discriminate against certain groups of U.S. citizens for the first seven months of the program simply because a country claims they will treat all U.S. citizens equally for the last five months."3. California Democrat Ro Khanna is making his pitch that President Biden should campaign on reelection on an anti-corruption platform, per the Huffington Post. Khanna, who previously chaired the Bernie Sanders campaign in California, has authored a five-point plan, consisting of “banning candidates for federal office from receiving donations from lobbyists or political action committees of any kind, banning members of Congress from trading stocks, limiting Supreme Court appointees to 18-year terms, imposing 12-year term limits on members of Congress, and requiring federal judges and Supreme Court justices to adhere to a new and more robust code of ethics.” Beyond the hard policy though, is a political point – Khanna argues “What we cannot allow to happen is for a former president ― twice impeached and four times indicted ― to position himself as the outsider in the race.”4. On September 7th, General Motors submitted a proposal to the United Autoworkers in a near last ditch attempt to stave off a strike from the newly re-energized union. In response, UAW president Shawn Fain released the following statement, “After refusing to bargain in good faith for the past six weeks, only after having federal labor board charges filed against them, GM has come to the table with an insulting proposal that doesn't come close to an equitable agreement for America's autoworkers. GM either doesn't care or isn't listening when we say we need economic justice at GM by 11:59pm on September 14th. The clock is ticking. Stop wasting our members' time. Tick tock.”5. On September 10th, Senator Richard Blumenthal sent a letter to the Chair of the Federal Election Commission urging her to crackdown on “telemarketing calls and online scams that prey on [Americans'] goodwill and civic engagement,” noting that a recent charity scam defrauded consumers of over $150 million dollars, while a recent “network of scam…(PACs) took in $140 million.” Many speculate that Senator Blumenthal was spurred to act on this issue following the release of a documentary series on telemarketing scams focusing on the Civic Development Group, which raised vast sums for charities, which only received between 10 and 15% of that money. The Civic Development Group has itself been shut down by the FTC.         6. Labor journalist Michael Sainato reports that last week, the NLRB ruled in favor of the United Mine Workers of America, blocking Warrior Met Coal's attempt to stage a decertification election at their Brookwood, Alabama facility. UMWA President Cecil E. Roberts is quoted saying the NLRB “based [its] decision on a ruling…that determined Warrior Met Coal...violated the law before the strike began, continue to violate the law today, and intend to keep violating it in the future.” The UMWA strike against Warrior Met is the longest coal strike in Alabama history.7. The Intercept reports Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican of Tennessee has introduced a new amendment to the NDAA which would bar the Pentagon from providing assistance to Pakistan amid the “ongoing crackdown by the military establishment and its civilian allies.” Pakistan has been experiencing political turmoil since the ouster of popular president Imran Khan on dubious legal grounds. Pakistan is a major recipient of US military assistance and the Biden administration has resisted attempts to reign in the ruling regime since Khan was deposed.8. A new piece in Insider covers the clash of conservative and liberal populist Senators JD Vance of Ohio and John Fetterman of Pennsylvania. The two have been collaborating on rail safety legislation following the East Palestine derailment, and we have covered the degeneration of this legislation on the show before. Now, Vance is turning his attention to banning mask mandates, which Fetterman calls  “silly performance art” which is taking time and attention away from the stalled rail safety bill.9. Finally, a cover story in the Nation chronicles the “Confessions of a McKinsey Whistleblower.” The author was assigned to the McKinsey teams advising ICE and the Rikers Island prison, and he lays out how he tried and failed to resist the brutal and insidious nature of these institutions from inside the firm. The story is worth reading in its entirety to see behind the curtain of a firm which tries to wrap itself in platitudes like “Change the world. Improve lives.” Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

AP correspondent Ed Donahue on Gun Deaths

Debunking Sen Murphy and his claims of US gun deaths he's using to justify gun bans

Noel Kopriva is a member of Missouri Moms Demand Action, a nonpartisan group working toward common sense gun regulation. She spoke about how gun owners can keep their families safe and help prevent suicide deaths using the “Be SMART” model of ownership.You can read more about Moms Demand Action in this month's Vox magazine.

In this episode of Colloquy, part two of our discussion of guns and public health in America. In part one, we got a sense of the scope of the problem: nearly 400 million guns owned by US civilians, over 45,000 gun deaths in 2020, dramatically elevated risk of suicide among people who own handguns, and much more. So, can anything be done about the problem in a society as politically polarized as ours? David Hemenway, one of the country's leading experts on guns and public health, says yes. If we set aside our prejudices and assumptions and focus on areas of common concern, we can work together to improve safety and public health—even in places where gun rights are sacrosanct. But Hemenway says we shouldn't stop there. There's plenty to be done in states like Massachusetts, where guns are more strictly regulated.David Hemenway is a professor of health policy at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center. The author of five books, Professor Hemenway, has written widely on injury prevention, including firearms, violence, and suicide. He headed the pilot for the National Violent Death Reporting System, which provides detailed and comparable information on suicide and homicide. In 2012, he was recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as one of the 20 most influential injury and violence professionals over the past 20 years. Professor Hemenway got his PhD from GSAS in 1974. 

In this episode of Colloquy, part one of a discussion about guns and public health in America. We'll move past the horrors of Uvalde—and El Paso, and Parkland, and Orlando, and Las Vegas, and Sandy Hook—and talk about the larger issues: too many gun deaths and injuries, too little training, information, and regulation. Leading us in the discussion is David Hemenway, professor of health policy at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center.

Hosts: Scott Simpson and Cate Klundt In our last segment we talked about the alarming rise in gun deaths among children and teens.  The statistics are clear but the solutions are not. Where are these teens and children getting these guns? Why are they being allowed to use them? To give us some more insight, we are joined by Clark Aposhian, Chairman of the Board for the Utah Shooting Sports Council.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hosts: Scott Simpson and Cate Klundt In 2020, firearm deaths among Utahns 18 and younger hit a record high– a whopping 42.  While the majority of those deaths were suicides, a sharp increase in homicides also drove the shift. One child was just 2 years old. But many of the victims were older teens. What is the reason for so many of these deaths? To help us learn more about it, we are joined by KSLTV Investigative Reporters Annie Knox and Daniella Rivera.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Saadia Mirza joins us from Texas to break down the insanity of America's gun violence epidemic. Our discussion takes place in the aftermath of the Uvalde school shooting, at a time when there are too many mass shootings in America for the media to cover. Saadia shares how her connection to a victim of the Sandy Hook massacre led her to become incredibly outspoken about this ongoing American nightmare. She completely dismantles common myths pertaining to guns, including the myth that the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. In addition, she explains the enormous human and financial cost of gun violence in America. Tune in to hear us discuss how the NRA, gun manufacturers, and the republican party have distorted the gun debate, pitting Americans against one another to amass wealth and power.  Be sure to follow Saadia Mirza on TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter for more crystal clear political commentary!Support the show

Mass shooting deaths represent just a fraction of people killed by gun violence in America, and more than half of all gun deaths are suicides. The numbers are staggering: in 2020, the most recent year with available data, 45,000 people in America were killed by guns. This episode, a few of the people touched by that violence share their stories.

Let's take a numbers-first approach to gun legislation. In the wake of horrible mass shootings, gun control and advocacy groups are digging their heals, and often relying on bumper sticker canards. Rather than approaching this issue ideologically, or even inductively, we're going to look at ways to dramatically reduce gun deaths by looking at the numbers.   “Gun Deaths by the Numbers” with Guy Smith:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gun-deaths-by-the-numbers/id1439837349?i=1000508430461

As a wildfire swept through Flagstaff, Arizona, one woman saved nearly two dozen horses in her care. But they have no home to go back to. Kathy Oliver, who runs the Sacred Peaks Equine Sanctuary, joins us. And, in 2020, firearms were the leading cause of death for children, surpassing car crashes for the first time in 60 years. Lisa Vitale of Children's Hospital of Michigan explains how children often find guns that aren't well-hidden at home.

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start with the only story anyone seems to be talking about – Elon Musk's Twitter takeover – before turning to more industry news: a bad quarter for Netflix, and a streaming service that didn't even last one quarter: CNN+. We give our dispatches from the streaming warfront. Disney has a plus too, but they have a definite minus in Florida, as Governor Ron DeSantis revokes their special tax status. More on that feud. Some sobering new data from 2020, the worst year on record for gun deaths among children. We get into the gun reform debate. And finally, we close with a classroom controversy in San Francisco, where a teacher brought in raw cotton plants to teach kids about slavery.  [2:40] Musk/Twitter [9:46] CNN+/Netflix [18:36] Disney vs. Florida [26:38] Teen Gun Deaths [40:47] Cottontroversy Sticher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-lost-debate iheart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-lost-debate-88330217/ Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/752ca262-2801-466d-9654-2024de72bd1f/the-lost-debate LOST DEBATE ON SOCIAL: Follow Lost Debate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lostdebate/ Follow Lost Debate on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lostdebate Follow Lost Debate on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thelostdebate
