beginning. and we can see that with regard to the early american republic with regard to the revolutionary war and, you know, throwing off the british, we can see guns in terms of the western settlement and genocide, of indigenous peoples. it really is part of the origin story of the us and it's a thread that continues to be went through american society the, the designer of wireless films is interesting because it's very much about consolidating this imagery of what is a real american. i got it fast left, right? this is your last dra or you'll never handle guns in oregon. and we often see these sort of incredibly flat stylized troves of, um yeah,

whether it's indigenous people, whether it's mexicans, whether it's african american. so people of color and they're really only there to make possible this sort of fearless self reliance is dependent uh you know, the weight so we don't see the mass of brutality and both massive in the sense of agree just but also mass brutality, the mass genocide of indigenous peoples, we don't kind of, we don't get confronted with that side of what the quote unquote settlement of the west, which is really a violent genocidal project. we don't get confronted with that. instead we get this sort of frontier mess of what it means to be in america, which is very much wrapped up in in whiteness and in masculinity. the address

for joseph jeff. back at the guns site academy, participants train until late in the evening. at the shooting range and beyond the ready. okay, try to read participants learn how to use that width and in all sorts of situations . some training battlefield scenarios, shot authors and domestic spaces. the jetta shooter gun this is going to go shot. right. okay. bigger guy, since you guys are going to shoot and it has got it because the only says the only shut off down in here. maybe uh, showing more instructions for kids like tv or movies. you shoot someone that is my

but do we need to make murder twice as bad? but isn't it true that there are more gun related death in united states that anywhere else? no, i don't believe that's correct. i do not. you look at some statistics, let's just go to our southern border and mexico and they have a lot of gun laws. must look at the deaths there and compare those most murders in mexico committed with weapons smuggled across the board from the usa. the just send me up. it's sorrow is a criminologist. she studies gun vine and every gun starts legal guns get into the legal markets. the secondary markets, or best of your gun, somebody purchases their gun in the south seats or goals and purchase 10 guns or

whatever. and then they could sell them in the black market in the states with more restrictive gun loss. every gun has like a serial number and a, the gun is the face and then it appears. all of the sudden somebody gets killed and they find the child showcases and if they find the weapon they realize that this weapon was to face and it's not registered to 91. the numerous mass shootings in recent years have shown just how easy it is to a client, an us and all of weapons. the in 1999 to teenagers, show 13 people at columbine high school. they went to a semi automatic rifles, pistols and several explosives. 2007,

friends and move survived the attack the noon but she noticed too close friends, christopher lane, and then called true 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 salts 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 call the 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 the whole 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 my team, to catch his allegiance to the terrorist organization is not make states possible. most hoops, homeless siberia and religious fanaticism, brandon's friends drew antoine, were killed on the town, strew in old 49. people, died. 53 were wounded. at the time it was the worst mass shooting in the country's

history. after the tragic the brandon will became one of the most committed anti gun activists of his generation. he now meets with politicians speaks before the us congress and fights for financial compensation for this devices. the, his friend. amanda was also there that night. full pallets had. she's been on the long road to recovery, ever since learning to will confuse her, right. tell them again, but tell wounds and not just physically when i go out and i am always looking at exits, to making sure my surrounding just in case you know, if i have to, you know, ron or escape again and also i get the sphere every now and then the what are some

of these out there that still wants to finish the job? so it says it's hard on the, on the national level and nobody has the right to take your life away from you or your family. there was a mass shooting 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 is 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 going to 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 fact for back to school,

attending public awareness campaign from families of children killed sandy hook. i'm just trying to study this is just what i need for the new year. it's pretty cool. the this is really come in these results. it can be a real live saver. the cell phones intuitively more the the group behind decides believes identifying warning signs and would be killers, could help the in arizona, one woman channels her 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. mister chair, i'm dying and 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 janet illuminations knife changed forever in the phoenix shopping center deluxe. the lock front, lock a bullet to the next left to a paraplegic, the alexa. alexa,

all lights on another planet to fume, saying the head leaving came in a vegetative state. the 2 victims of a random shooting a tragedy. this affects the significant number of americans each year. the culprits would never cause. i'm absolutely no idea who shot me. you know, they're, there been a lot of working series 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. the someone who mistook us for someone else or 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 longed an 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 drivers got the got them here. got them here. coming address. there is, again, you know, it's a female and it's to big guy. the tim solely 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 road and i'll see somebody the group of guys tucked in the bushes. i'll just stop in the duke's on the goals. he took the phone and get them back. they get in the back and i personally satellite phone call, border patrol, tell them where i'm at which direction i'm going and where to maybe drive up to usually that spot and they're waiting for certain police know ready to go and get it right to something different they say they're there 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 find americans that lead to tim solely used to work in construction. that move to the border of to the 2008 financial crisis. an out in front of 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 too tyrannical, they're pushing the, the airy drop. okay,

is the north town before the boat at the nearest police station is more than an hour away by calm diminishing i give some of the towns $600.00 or so inhabitants a feeling of security despise the 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 on test honda. the mazda, so in judge managed to call for help. the settlement where you registered my daughter, my husband, they shot them. how old is your daughter? 10 the

at the house of the 2nd amendments, right. 2 bedrooms is the idea of the tub. well regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free states. but this constitutional phrasing is state in the united states, historical racism, the historian, gen, if acosta and the origins of militias, the closely linked to slavery, the at that time the state militia was the slave pitfall. 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, there was lots and lots of concern about slave rebellion 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 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 haines. 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 the lynch mob. and then of course, we see this all the way until the so called self defense shooting, in which, um, 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 philander test style was shot dead in his car during a traffic stop. the 2020 brionas taylor was killed by police in her apartments in the middle of the night. in the same yes, 3 white men shouts, unload, operate. well he was joking. killings that shook the country and stopped. protest is now

a shot prize in anti black. hate crimes has led more and more black americans to um themselves. how you doing to jo. nice to meet you ma'am. nice to meet you. i know. all right. phillips, macy's founder and president of the national african american gun association nocka . since its founding in 2015 membership has grown 245000 so black americans in the us buying alms in large numbers is a new phenomenon. for what's the name of the folder? oh is this is what stores. based on the 9 pals in buffalo soldiers, who is a mobile ad regiment o 3, again, runaway slaves the former businessman is proud of his heritage on the organization. he found it with

the goal of preserving, i'm protecting the community, the . we're probably about 14000000 ask americans world nationwide here in the us that have guns. now that's a lot of folks. 14000000 the pandemic to me was the, the line and the saying that combined 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 absence in there to be shot by the twins. because you're 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 air, and the black panthers of self defense, the deacons of defense. that turn all those black men and women in 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 terry. historically, asking americans had been given this socialization that we do not need to have guns . who are 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 and 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 fire around you it can you just say 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 x, approximately 300000 residents. of black gun, those in new jersey are among the strictest in the country. and the state test one is the lowest rates of firearm deaths. cities like music, on 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 that he's nice not 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. see? oh, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice asian. did you have the cost me remind me. yeah. this is the bullet. yeah. okay. so much there to most of i'm here so so you had this one here. he was hit by 6 bullet steering a notification, 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

skin over. so for like probably 6 months, he could look down and see it, his like intestines just under the skinny, physically how to drop foot. so this housing walk onto the saw, i will be driven all over the place because my foot can't pick up is the break room . are right here. we have some kind of function. so i'm, so the piece the foot drop is going to be permanent, but the hand can still be worked on the skins gars are there. and then there's the emotional scars, you know, physically processing the trying to figure myself from this to thank you to give the best talk to bonnie as a specialist in gunshots. injuries she spent is advocating for guns violence

prevention. a lot of people don't realize or understand what happens after somebody gets shot for 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 clos 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 epidemic. 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 boy was 5 where he had just terrified that february and royce was

a 23 myself. that's been hard to accept that she should be calling me. yeah. yeah. just like the rest of my grandchildren. but she also me my so this is like our family. wow. so the last family photo, we all took together my fifties birthday. we were able to caption that moment of us all being together, not knowing. or that would be the last family picture that we would ever take. the in april 2015, christos dosa janae was running a chain of daycare centers. she became estranged from her husband and he decided

to get revenge the teenage process. now what with her, in the office parking lots really have a send shots genay under now with a 9 millimeter pistol. the after that chris told, advised you to self to the guns safety movement. she also organized whose self help groups with parents did 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 downside, what are the things that i learned to join this q after you sit on the couch, after all the cameras, the gong asked, all the people are gone. you in the room by yourself. so now you say, do i roll into a fetal position? and stay in the vehicle we set a time or do i get out on the street and make something happen? and make sure that everybody in the world knows your child. june davis was just 17 years old. when 45 year old michael dunn shall seem to dest over now to music for guy, the driver to our gas station, michael windows until the music loud music bothered him, so he decided that was enough. and he reaches into a local farm,

pulled out a gun on hold through it, slide it back, turns around and start shooting in the car, pull the kids, they back out the driveway. they're trying to get away. he rode to the back of his car can thanks a lot stance to start shooting for more bullets into the car. he shoes 10 bullets into the car trying to kill all the kids. and he only shot my side of him twice. done later came to phelps records and talked to, to, in self defense in 2014, he was sentenced to life in prison. so he wouldn't have that bravery. many of these people that killed the guy. yeah. yeah. right, right. hm. and then when you have a situation cause you brain, now you want to, you know, what do you say about people who say it's not about the gun? it's about the 1st. i say it's always about the gun. the reason why it's all about

the guns because the gun manufacturers. okay. they making trillion dollars, where they spend the most money, they send it to congress, they send it to the senate. they send it to all these people that make the law. keep the guns floor you money. yep. american gun make has a strong thing or so the operators of arizona is gone. site academy. that's good news. the after 5 days, the intensive training course is coming to a close the participants put them marksmanship, to the test. the

instruct to ed heads is credited with some 60000 directors and 15 psycho shooting steering his career as a border patrol agents. we don't like the government threatening to take our guns away. you don't like that at all. they're trying to say people like me or domestic church. i'm a former police guy, i'm a former military. i have a flag in my yard. i voted for donald trump, so i am a domestic terrorist. there might be another revolution in this country. i hope not . i pray it doesn't happen, but it could happen in the united states, a country d, p divided most americans won't stick to gun control. but people like ted feels differently. first

and foremost, let me say thank you. thank you for being safe. when you go out of the range, again, you find a young person there, a lot of young people in here, we need more. we more the young people who the defenders of our constitution are. bill arrived, the 2nd amendment. and if you teach these young people to be responsible with firearms, they are going to be with possible with drinking and driving and dating and life. in general. france, we'll see you back again. sorry. the, the american mis face, family, homeland, and weapons to self defense. with each new victim, the american dream defense, deeper into an american catastrophe. the

view will tell you who we are happy that we are back to the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use the sales force and for the future in the stories and issues that are being discussed across the country. news africa. in 30 minutes on the w, the,

you might see me how much can we do simultaneously? multitasking these, the modern man. because if we do too much at one video all wrong mess, things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage, humans and multitasking watch now on youtube, the w documentary. so you don't think and feel the same way you expect and want different things from life and your parents do. i just want to pursue what sets nice law on fire or you think you kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, unreasonable stuff. i want my son to become
