Hello
Center for edison, health, and society at Vanderbilt University and the author of what weve become living and dying in a country of arms. Dr. Jonathan metzel, thank you for coming to the show. President biden released a statement reflecting on the columbine School Shooting Anniversary and hes asking Congress To do something, so communities wont continue to suffer due to the epidemic of Gun Violence. This year alone, there have been 19 Gun Related Deaths and schools. In your view, what has changed since columbine and what still needs to change . I think it is important to remember that columbine was a wake of the moment for a particular kind of problem that intersected semi automatic weapons. It was a shooting that happened in a suburban area, white children were the victims as well other people. It brought a question of Gun Violence home to a lot of people. I just remember that moment as

Dr. Jonathan metzel, the question occurs to me when we showed a picture of the waffle house shooter. Was he taking a life after that manhunt . Yes, that is the story i tell in the book. Not only was he taken alive, what show is there were five or six incidences before the shooting. He tried to jump the fence at the white house, he came to the attention of the fbi and he jumped make it into a pool and jumped out and shook his gun at people. The story i ask in the book is what does it take to this on a white man in america . That is really the story of the book. It turns out, it is very hard because the loss, the system, people see a white gun as a patriot. He was taken alive after the shooting. He was not killed. Dr. Jonathan metzel, as always, thank you very much for coming to the show. Thanks so much. Up next on the saturday
