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 bridge, we can see guns in terms of the western settlement and genocide, of indigenous peoples. she 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 get fast to that 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, 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 was 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 drug

not as in 2, 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 statistics, look, just go to our southern border and mexico and they have a lot of gun laws and 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 you, if it's not ro, is a criminologist, she studies guns on every gun starts legal guns get into the legal markets via secondary markets or fact 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 shops, 13 people that columbine high school. they went to a semi automatic rifles pistols and several explosives. 2007,

a massacre on the campus of virginia tech. a students killed 32 people with 2 semi automatic pistols. in 201220 children and 6 adults with shot dead, sandy hook elementary school in connecticut in 2018 around page at the high school in pumpkin florida. killed 14 students since 3 staff members. these numbers represent incalculable suffering. the orlando, florida, behind this memorial is a full midnight club called the pulse, an institution for the local gay community. on june, the 122016, it was the scene of one of the deadliest shootings in us history. the

friends and move survived the attack the noon, but she noticed too close friends, christopher lane, and then called true antoine guerrero. 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 160 8 in the morning, a man carrying in the salt rifle and tipped in like a few minutes later he had been to fire the so as the night was ending, drew and his partner, one square really intent on finishing their last dance 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 phobia and religious fanaticism. brandon's friends drew antoine were killed on the dogs through an 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 that that night. full pallets had. she's been on a long road to recovery. ever since learning to will confuse have right. tell them again. but how would and so 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 that what are

some of these out there that still wants to finish the job? so it's just, it's hard on the, on the national level. 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 happens 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 the just what i need for the new year. it's pretty cool. the, this is, is really come in these results. it can be realized xavier's the cell phones intuitively more. 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. mister chair and 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 janice, a long distance 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 bullet tough you don't say in the head, leaving him in a vegetative state. the 2 victims of a random shooting a tragedy. this affects the 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 series by law enforcement, but uh, you know, 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 goes for someone else to 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 bill around safe storage. so if a child in your home is injured because you doesn't, safeway 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 half an hour 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 trackers. got the got them here. got them here. coming to us. 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 capt. 2 people who enter the us illegally from mexico. i do it a lot by myself just driving down the. ready and i'll see somebody the group of guys tucked in the bushes and was just stopping neil dukes on the goals. he took the phone and get him back in the back and i but somebody satellite, phoning, co, border control, tell him where i'm at which direction i'm going where it may be. drive up to usually that spot and there are 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 the legal as long as they didn't hold the mind going against the well, the many of the vigilantes say day of us to ins and to force in iraq or afghanistan, the americans that lead to 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. that 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 airy drop. okay,

is the north town before the boat at the nearest police station is more than an hour away by com 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 mazda. so in judge managed to call for help. the little one, where are you registered? my daughter my her shot them. how old is your daughter? 10. the

at the house of the 2nd dimensions, right? 2 bedrooms is the idea to 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 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 added to 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 weiss died that this whole system wouldn't be in the 18th century um, diminishes in full slavery, no. was in 18. $61.00 white's fee is if the results were realized. then black pretend that ton uh, led a bloody insurrection against white slaveholders. the militias revenge swiftly followed to now was hines. more than a 100 of the slaves killed. the threat was met 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, um, you know, we have african americans and people of color being done 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 lando test aisle was shot dead in his car to ring a traffic stop the 2020 brianna 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 are 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 found and president of the national african american gun association naca. since its founding in 2015 membership has grown 245000 so black americans in the us buying homes in large numbers is a new phenomenon. for what's the name of the folder? oh is this is what stores based on the 9th count in buffalo soldiers doing the regiment o 3, again, runaway slaves the former businessman is proud of his heritage and 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 an awakening because we've never had this many black folks in the united states having guns at the same time. free as it has to be there to be shot by the twins, because you're 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 turned on all those black men and women, and many,

many more and many more organizations, they may die for nothing. the one thing we should do after a black person a shot is the next day. we also carry historically asking americans had 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 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 counsel puns that males in america are 18 times more likely to be injured by

a gun. and 12 times more likely to be killed with the flying around you. it can 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 is the lowest rates of fly around depths. cities like music, while 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 shown where the fault for his knife. the hey, talk to stephanie bonnie: is the true massage and who helped save him or do this? i guess i see how you doing

this is an alarm from 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 asian. did you have the cost? me remind me this is the volume. yeah. okay. so much there at the mustang and the here so so you had this one here. he was hit by 6 splits during an altercation. one of them into the major all 3 in his optimum, he badly survived to lake crossed this big artery in vein. 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 the foot. so this house and walk onto the saw, i will be driven all over the place because my foot can't pick up. is the bridge right here to 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, physical or something with the lens on processing me in . thank you. the really talk to bonnie is 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. 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 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 to pumps the crystal tanner last 2 if have 4 children to guns violence. now she's raising her 2 grandchildren. the boy was 5 where he had just her 5 that february and royce was

a 23 myself. and 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 law to the last family photo. we all took together my 50th birthday we were able to capture in 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 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 to 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 in 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 are going to have to, all people are gone, you're 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. where do i get out on the street and make something to happen? and make sure that everybody in the world so that you can test, knows your child. june davis was just 17 years old. when 45 year olds miko done, shall seem to dest over loud music. for guy, driving to gas station, michael windows and tell the kids and the music. loud music bothered him, so he decided that was enough. and he reaches into his glove compartment,

pulled out was going on holster. 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, gets into a stance to start shooting full of bullets into the car. he shoes 10 bullets into the car trying to kill all the kids. and he only shot my son and hit him twice. done later claims he felt threatened, unpacked 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 are killed the guy. yeah. yeah. right, right. mm. and then when you have a situation cause you brain, now you want to, you know what, it's about people who say it's not about the gun, it's about the person. 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 sent it to all these people that make the law goes floor you money. yep. american gun make has a strong thing or so the operators of arizona's gun site academy. that's good news. the bar after 5 days the intensive training cost is coming to a close. the participants put them marksmanship to the test. the

instructor at 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 curves. i'm a former police guy, i'm a former military. i have a flag in my yard and 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. when it could happen. the united states, a country d, p divided most americans won't stick to gun control, but people like attend,

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 the young person. there are a lot of young people in here. we need more. we more the young people who are the defenders of our constitution. our bill arrives to say, hey, you teach these young people to be responsible with firearms. they are going to be responsible with drinking and driving and dating and life in general brands. and i'll see you back again. sorry, the, the american mis face, family, homeland, and weapons, the self defense fund. with each new victim, the american dream defense. deep into an american catastrophe. the,
