friends in move survived the attack, the most too close friends, christopher lane, and then called through antoine guerrera. we got here just after midnight. i ordered the same drinks we always ordered and then went out onto the patio to hang out with one another. at 150 age in the morning, a man carrying and the salt rifle in tifton like a few minutes later he had been to fire the so as the night was ending, drew and his partner one we're really intent on finishing their last stance

together. and i just needed to use the bathroom before we called the new for home. so i stepped into a bathroom this just over here and everything about it was so normal in the moment until it was abnormal. there were gunshots, the music was still going in the base. you could still feel it in your feet, but it was like, sole club was silent for a moment and then gunfire again. this time, louder and not stopping about a dozen people rushed into the bathroom with me. they looked like they had seen the most terrifying thing they had ever seen or by the shoe to my team, to catch his allegiance to the terrorist organization is not make states possible most hoops, homeless phobia and religious fanaticism. brandon's friends drew antoine were killed on the dogs through an old 49 people,

ron or escape again. and also i get the sphere every now and then the what of somebody's out there that still wants to finish the job. so it says it's hard on the emotional level and nobody has the right to take your life away from you or your family. there was a, a mass shootings 3 days ago or 4 days ago in tennessee at a school, 13 people were shot and it didn't even make the nightly news because it just happened so often that it's not even the most outrageous thing that's happening in our country. right now, why would i want to bring a child into that world? why would i want to bring a child into a world where they're gonna spend the 1st 18 years of their life and practicing you know how to use their backpack to, you know, tie somebody's gaping wound in the classroom. my mom's company is a perfect factor back to school. a chilling public awareness campaign from families

of children killed sandy hook. i'm just studying just what i need for the new year. it's pretty cool. the this is, is really come in these results. it can be a real live saver, the cell phones into to the, the, the group behind decides believes identifying warning signs and would be killers. could help the in arizona, one women channels pain by fighting for strict to the news. and i would like to

welcome our 1st witness, the gentle lady from arizona. thank you mister chair, members, mr. chair and dying in slow motion, my life will be cut short by the complications of my gunshot wound. november 15th, 2004 was such a beautiful night. i was holding my fiancee's hand as we drove to dinner. we were 36 hours back from our dream trip to fiji, where we committed to marrying. and that i deal with moment. someone fired a gun, the jennifer lumens knife changed forever. in the phoenix shopping center deluxe, the lock front lock a bullet to the neck, left to a paraplegic, the alexa. alexa,

all lights on another planet to feel the same. the head leaving came in a vegetative state. the 2 victims of a random shooting a tragedy. this affects a significant number of americans each year. the culprits, whenever course, i'm absolutely no idea who shot me. you know, there, there been a lot of working theories by law enforcement, but no one has ever been caught. no one's ever been charged. so 17 years later, you know, i still don't know. why was it someone, someone who hated us that much, that they wanted to kill us? this is someone who mistook goes for someone else. someone who just fired a gun in that direction and we just happened to be there. i don't know,

but it's no different than lots of other folks who get shot in the united states. jennifer long didn't advocate so background checks on gun purchases and safe guns storage. every year i've run a very simple spell around safe storage. if a child in your home is injured because you doesn't safely secure your firearm, you're facing a fine. that's all a fine. um and i haven't been able to get that bill heard. i run it every year, but i can't get it moved into a committee. i think that it's possible to do it. i have to believe that in order to keep doing it, if this were easy, we'd be done. and it's not simple. it's not. but i believe so little by little by little, we're going to make a difference. she's waging an uphill battle in

a country that's more um to the nasa. every vodka, arizona huff and alice drive from the mexican border. this disaster diarrhea located it on the was started by donald trump, has been home to extreme missed anti immigrant finishes for years. the mat. you're the jack. i got the got them here. get them here. going address. there is again, you know, it's a female with the big guy a tim soley and his right wing vigilantes train several times

a year to track down my grants. they want to capture people who enter the us illegally from mexico. i do it a lot by myself just driving down the. ready know, see somebody the group of guys tucked in the bushes will just stop and yell, dukes on the goals. he took the phone and get him back in the back. and i, but somebody satellite pony color told, tell him where i'm at which direction i'm going and where it may be drive up to is usually that spot and there are wait. and it's like time police know, ready to zone for they get it right to something that different, right. they say that to help out the us border patrol which they claim is over stretched.

it's not a legal as long as they didn't hold the mind going against that. well, the many of the vigilantes say they of us to ins and to force in iraq or afghanistan, the americans live there. liza tim solely used to work in construction that move to the border of to the 2008 financial crisis. an audit fine if donald trump, he says he even travel to washington on january the 6th 2021. but didn't take posts in the attack on the capital. the founding fathers, the constitution is easy to follow. they made its short, quick, simple. it's to protect us against the government. if they become to tyrannical, they're pushing the

the area okay, is the nice town before the boat at the nearest police station is more than an hour away by calm diminishing i give some of the towns 600 or so inhabitants a feeling of security. despise a fatal incident on may. the 30th, 2009. that's when members of a different vigilante group broke into a private home, claiming drug smugglers lift that they killed a 10 year old. go and test all the the, the mazda. so in judge managed to call for help the settlement, whereas you registered my daughter, my husband, they shot them. how old is your daughter? 10

the at the house of the 2nd dimensions. right. 2 bedrooms is the idea. the tub, well regulated militia is necessary to the security of this free states. but this constitutional phrasing is state in the united states, historical racism for history and gen. if acosta and the origins of militias a closely linked to slavery, the at that time, the state militia was the slave patrol. so if the federal government, by virtue of the us constitution didn't protect a states rights have alicia, or in other words, have a slave patrol that could fundamentally undermine the system of slavery. that was part and parcel of the united states. adage, county, the,

or there was lots and lots of concern about labor value and about insurrection, about the idea that in slaves, peoples would understandably rebel. and so without a slave patrol, there was a lot of fear among ways that um, that this whole system wouldn't be in the 18th century, um, diminishes in full slavery nose. in 18. $61.00 white's fee is if the results were realized. then black preaching, not 10, uh let a bloody insurrection against white slave holders diminishes revenge swiftly followed to now was hind more than a 100 of the slaves killed the thread was med really with an extreme show of force. and so we see this not just in terms of the brutality of slave patrols, but also the brutality of, of white supremacist militias in the aftermath of the civil war. so the ku klux

klan, we see this in the context of lynch mobs. and then of course, we see this all the way until the so called self defense shootings in which, you know, we have african americans and people of color being gone down. these are very much imbedded in the racial politics of the united states. the use of documented cases show a deadly packing of police violence against the black circle. in 2016 for alondo cass dial was shot dead in his car to ring a traffic stop the 2020 brionas taylor was killed by police in her apartment in the middle of the night in the same yes. 3 white men shots a mode operate. well, he was joking. killings that shook the country and sparked protest. so now

a shot prize in anti black hate crimes has led more and more black americans to um themselves. how you doing jo? nice to meet you ma'am. nice to meet you. i know. all right, phillips macy's found and president of the national african american gun association. since its founding in 2015 membership has grown to 45 thousands. so black americans in the us buying say knowledge numbers is a new phenomenon. for what's the name of the folder? oh is this is what stores based on the 9th calendar in buffalo soldiers doing them all the regiment? 03 again. runaway slaves for

my business man is proud of his heritage on the organization. he founded with the goal of preserving, i'm protecting the community, the, we're probably about 14000000 ask americans world nationwide here in the us to have guns. now, as a lot of folks, 14000000 the pandemic to me was the, the line and the saying that combine with the political and racial tension that you have in the country right now. i'm not gonna call it a renaissance. we're asking americans, i'm gonna call it in a wakening because we've never had this many black folks in the united states having guns at the same time. free as an african american tv show by the twins because you over there. the worst thing that i can do is to say, you know what, i don't deserve this got my ancestors, harriet tubman, the buffalo soldiers, the tuskegee airmen. the black panthers of self defense, the deacons of defense, not turn all those black men and women, and many,

many more and many more organizations they, they die for nothing. the one thing we should do after a black person a shot is the next day. we also carry historically asked americans have been given this socialization that we do not need to have guns. we're the only community ethnically in the world that believe that that is think about that statement. you don't need guns to protect yourself, but everyone else around you has guns. what kind of crazy, mental state do you have to be to believe that? and people wonder why. okay, why are blackman being attacked on a sunday after looking at houses and jogging in 3 white guys, drop by in the truck and jump out and, and, and beat him up and shoot him. why does that happen? because we continue to act like we're, it's okay to be a soft target. statistically in comparison to the white counts of pumps. black males in america are 18 times more likely to be

injured by a gun. and 12 times more likely to be killed with the fly around you . a new jersey. the city sits just across the river from new york count as long suffered from high rates of poverty and crime. nearly haul says new ex, approximately 300000 residents of black gun. those in new jersey are among the strictest in the country and the state test, one of the lowest rates of fly around this cities like music, all the exception here on average, someone dies from gun violence every day. the intensive care units at university hospital in newark treats many gunshot victims this is where the soon last thoughts for his nice lot. hey, talk to stephanie bunny, is the true massage and who helped save him or do this?

i guess i see how you doing this isn't a lot for me. so how are you feeling today? like how are things going to be so you had to re thread the surgery from when you guys close up the stomach. yeah, so much or can i take a look? can i see what the bed? sure. all right, so this is the plastic speed. oh, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice easy. did you have the cost me remind me. yeah. this is the bullet. yeah. okay . so much there at the mustang, ma'am, i'm here so so you had this one here. he was hit by 6 bullet steering an altercation. one of them into the major author in his optimum. he badly survived crossed this big artery in vain. so originally, so he's had his belly put back together and that's where we took skin to cover other places. when we 1st did it, there was so much swelling in his valley that we left them open and then we put

prevention. a lot of people don't realize or understand what happens after somebody gets shot. were very good at sort of counting the number of people who die. but there's really very little attention paid to the people that are shot and survive. and that's a lot to a lot of people. um and so a lot of times people are never really the same. they might have all kinds of injuries that they can never recover from. some people may require imputation. they might have bad hernias. they might need cost to me bags to all kinds of things that are really life changing. gun violence looks like an infectious disease that looks like the flu. sometimes you know, one person gets it and then the next person, the next person in the next person. and given the volume that we see,

that the number of people that are affected is absolutely can be characterized as an academic gun violence isn't submitted to the in the city. it is alone being wide spread throughout the country. jacksonville, florida is no exception. the here 2 guns often children and test families. the pumps. the crystal tanner last 2 if have 4 children to guns while and now she's raising her 2 grandchildren. the board was 5 where he had just her 5 that february and royce was

to get revenge. the janae's breath. i don't now what with her in the office parking lot really have a send shots, janae, endo now with a 9 millimeter pistol. the after that crystal device, you test self to the guns safety movement. she also organizes self help groups with parents of minded children. so we can go make this hard, we just don't talk. we all are dealing with with that last looks like for us individually. and so that's really our topic today. what is that experience being

like for you? and how has the changed you and brought you to this place that we're all standing them today? because of down by what are the things that i learned after joining this q after you sit on the couch, after all the cameras are going to have to all people are going you in the room by yourself. so now you say, do i roll into a fetal position in a stand a bit? so we set a time, what do i get out on the street and make something to happen, and make sure that everybody in the world knows your child. davis was just 17 years old. when 45 year olds, michael done, shall seem to dest as a loud music, to guide the driver to gas station, michael windows, and tell the kids the music. loud music bothered him, so he decided that was enough. and he reaches into his glove compartment,
