the area the idea of carrying a gun as a mark of whiteness against a racial other or the threat of another is something profound. that was one small part of research. tapping into this long history of why many americans feel like they need to carry guns, and the particular narratives that are play to by the nra and the politicians that tell them that they need to have guns against a racial threat, when i found in other research, the biggest art was having a gun in your home, in terms of gun suicide and partner violence or other things like that. one of the things i want to ask you specifically is a question i have been thinking about all week long. this is, why supra white supremacy and someone who has a white nationalist ideology behaves violently as an expression of this ideology? what i am saying is, you can hate anything, but why not just

Addressing gun suicide should be a top priority for the new VA secretary Chris Marvin (Ohio National Guard) As Denis McDonough takes over as President Biden’s secretary of Veterans Affairs, he will have his work cut out for him preventing this deadly crisis. Luckily, he can begin by doing one thing that Secretary Robert Wilkie –– President Trump’s appointee –– essentially refused to do during his tenure: discuss the role that guns play in veteran suicides. Wilkie purported to hold veteran suicide as a top priority, saying, “If we do not focus on [suicide prevention]…we will be doing a disservice to those veterans we care for.” But he and his VA focused solely on the (undeniably critical) mental health component of suicide, while largely refusing to discuss the weapons that make suicide attempts so deadly. In fact, he repeatedly refused to address any solution that involved guns, despite the fact that guns are the most fatal method of suicide and seven of

your problem here. mentally ill, mentally disturbed it s a mental problem. mental health. it is a top uk that comes up after almost every shooting when the police, the neighbors, the media are searching for answers. in some shootings like the parkland case where 14 students and 3 adults were killed in a florida high school, mental health was an issue. nicolas cruz s lawyers claim he had a chronic battle with mental illness. overall let s look at basic statistics. america s rate of gun suicide is 7 times the european s union average. the gun homicide rate is 21 times higher. surely it doesn t have 7 or 21 times the amount of mental illness as in europe. then there s this, an fbi report that studied 63 active shooter cases from 2000 to 2013 and
