S3E28 / Gun Violence in America / Trusted Messengers / Cathy Barber, Emmy Betz, Marc Holley, Ralph Demicco

Gun owners, their kids, and their families and friends are dying from gun-related suicides. By the numbers, this is the biggest gun violence problem we've got. We live in two very different worlds when it comes to guns in the U.S. The people for whom their only experience of guns is as a problem… and the people for whom guns will never be a problem… until… they are. What can we say to gun owners to help them understand that we care about their safety? Who the messenger is—that matters. Guests: Dr. Emmy Betz, Associate Professor, Department of Emergency Medicine, University of Colorado School of Medicine; Ralph Demicco, former owner of Riley's Gun Shop and Co-Chair of the New Hampshire Firearm Safety Coalition; Dr. Cathy Barber, Director of Means Matter at the Harvard School of Public Health’s Injury Control Research Center; and Marc Holley, former marine and owner of Atlas Defense. | insicknessandinhealthpodcast.com | glow.fm/insicknessandinhealth | #EndGunViolence #GunViolence #GVP #GunSafety #MentalHealth #MentalIllness #Suicide #SuicidePrevention #TheGunShopProject #MeansMatter #MassShooting #IntimatePartnerViolence #DomesticViolence #EveryTown #MomsDemandAction #MomsDemand #StudentsDemandAction #StudentsDemand #MarchForOurLives #BradyCampaign #FamilyFire #Giffords #ThisIsOurLane #EnoughIsEnough #NeverAgain #NationalEmergency #MedHum #MedHumChat #NarrativeMedicine #HealthHumanities #SocialMedicine #SocialJustice #SDoH
