The organization has over 200 staff members, most of whom have lived experiences that uniquely position them to help change someone's mindset.Susan and Carl emphasize the importance of community partnerships, support, and collaboration both locally and nationally.

May 15, 2025 ~ Jova Lynne, Co-director of the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, joins Kevin to discuss The Gun Violence Memorial which pays tribute to victims of gun violence and is in Detroit right now.

The U.S. is known around the world for its problem with gun violence. The vast majority of murders in the U.S. are committed using guns. But what leads one person to shoot another? The "conventional wisdom" says gun violence is usually the act of calculated criminals or people acting out of desperate economic circumstances. But economist Jens Ludwig believes the conventional wisdom is wrong. Today on the show, he explains why he believes many of us fundamentally misunderstand the problem of gun violence and how behavioral economics reveals some potential solutions. Jens's new book detailing his research into gun violence is called "Unforgiving Places: The Unexpected Origins of American Gun Violence".Related episodes:Can credit card codes help address gun violence?

What happens when your abuser carries a badge and a gun? For victims of officer-involved domestic violence, the journey to safety becomes a dangerous maze with few exits. Bruce Bieber joins us with the heartbreaking story of his daughter Abby – a rising star deputy sheriff who was murdered by her intimate partner, himself a detective in the same sheriff's office. This wasn't a random tragedy but the culmination of systemic failure, as her killer had previously been reported for domestic violence years earlier, only to have the incident swept under the rug. Through tears and determination, Bruce reveals how his quest for answers uncovered layers of institutional protection that prioritized shielding officers over protecting victims. When he discovered that approximately 40% of police families experience domestic abuse – potentially hundreds of thousands of households – he transformed his grief into purpose. The parallels between Abby's case and countless others expose a chilling pattern: documentation disappears, investigations vanish, and perpetrators not only remain employed but often advance in their careers. Questions about the failure of fellow officers to intervene when Abby was killed reveal uncomfortable truths about the "blue wall of silence" that protects abusers in uniform. Bruce is now fighting for legislation requiring Florida's law enforcement agencies to adopt protocols for handling cases when the abuser wears a badge. His urgent message resonates beyond one family's tragedy: if we immediately act when officers commit robbery or deal drugs, why do we still treat domestic violence as a private matter rather than the crime it is? Share this powerful episode with someone who needs to hear it, and join us in breaking the silence around officer-involved domestic violence.

More of Paul McCartney and his political notions.    Animal Rights, Gun Violence, "No More Landmines", and the environment have been a big part of the "McCartney brand" for the last 30-35 years.     We continue from last week, as we touch on nearly a full album of political thought from "the cute Beatle", and how Paul's brand of radicalism was both similar and different to that of his bandmate John Lennon.

In 2007, economist Jens Ludwig moved to the South Side of Chicago to research two big questions: Why does gun violence happen? And is there anything we can do about it? Almost two decades later, the answers aren't what he expected. Unforgiving Places is Ludwig's revelatory portrait of gun violence in America's most famously maligned city. Ludwig says his research disproves the popular narrative that shootings are the calculated acts of malicious or desperate people; he says it shows most shootings actually grow out of a more fleeting source: interpersonal conflict, especially arguments. By examining why some arguments turn tragic while others don't, Ludwig says gun violence is more circumstantial—and more solvable—than our traditional approaches lead us to believe. Drawing on decades of research and Ludwig's immersive fieldwork in Chicago, including “countless hours spent in schools, parks, playgrounds, housing developments, courtrooms, jails, police stations, police cars, and lots and lots of McDonald'ses,” Ludwig joins us with San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott to discuss his work in behavioral economics. As Ludwig says, progress on gun violence doesn't require America to solve every other social problem first; it only requires that we find ways to intervene in the places and the 10-minute windows where human behaviors predictably go haywire.

Armed American Radio, gun rights, Florida State University shooting, Second Amendment, gun control, evil, political agenda, self-defense, Ryan Petty, Mark Walters Summary In this episode of Armed American Radio's Daily Defense, host Mark Walters discusses the recent shooting at Florida State University with guest Ryan Petty, a Parkland father. They explore the implications of gun violence, the political responses to such tragedies, and the ongoing debate surrounding the Second Amendment. The conversation emphasizes the reality of evil in society and the importance of self-defense rights. As news unfolds about the FSU shooting, they critique the immediate calls for gun control and reflect on the failures of past legislation. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to support their rights and remain vigilant against tyranny. Takeaways Evil is a real and present danger in society. Political agendas often exploit tragedies for their own gain. Gun control measures do not effectively prevent violence. The Second Amendment is crucial for self-defense. Legislation cannot replace personal responsibility for safety. The media often highlights mass shootings while ignoring defensive gun uses. Tragedies like the FSU shooting highlight the need for armed presence in schools. The Parkland bill did not prevent further violence at FSU. Understanding the nature of evil is essential for personal safety. Support for the Second Amendment is vital in combating tyranny. titles Evil and Gun Control: A Real Conversation The Reality of Gun Violence in America Florida State Shooting: A Call to Action Understanding Evil: The Need for Self-Defense Political Agendas and Tragedies: A Discussion
