5:17 pm
essentially kicked out of those buildings and so why on earth did. design museum not realize that this was going to be a controversial booking of course they knew the irony is that the exhibition of the artists what they were drawn from is called hope to know it was meant to celebrate the relationship between technology and graphic design and political activism among the big name artists with drawing their work is the designer behind the barack obama hope poster and the creator of the i love new york logo that is being picked up on behalf of milton glaser up in new york. we dedicate our lives to activism and fighting for inclusion and fairness pointless and empathy and that's absolutely dogs with the hosting of and leonardo who profit from the deaf and destruction the museum's director says he regrets their decision to remove their work we have a mixed economy we sell tickets we have two shops a cafe a restaurant and events business and that events business means that we will rent

were the headlines and back with more news in half an hour here is there next to the stream to hope you can stay with us. full of struggle. there there were no doubt he seemed to me. full of pleasure let me go and make you blind me found me and the rest on me an intimate look at life in cuba today if you go to rome and don't go to work again the saying doesn't move daniel says so i wonder what i'm going to move my leave. cuba. just see. i mean ok your in the stream today the fault lines between gun control rights will be looking at those most of the debate right now it's all over the news and that is three d. printing guns these things five k.
5:22 pm
we're talking about that in just a moment that's right imo it could be a lot of also speak to youth activists who are continuing their push for gun reform months after march for our lives changed the conversation in the wake of the deadly parklane attack we want you to join the conversation on twitter and you too. should gun violence in the united states be treated as a public health issue for some people it seems like there should be an offer you say yes to that question but in the united states public funding for research into gun deaths and injuries has been severely curtailed so yes for more on this we're joined from northampton massachusetts by meg and randy she is chief research officer at the american foundation for firearm injury reduction in medicine known as a firm that's one of the groups that wants more research into gun violence adam skaggs is chief counsel at the giffords lost in churches prevent gun violence he joins us
5:23 pm
from new york craig deluce is director of legislative and public affairs at the firearms and policy coalition which advocates for. gun rights in the us he joins us from sacramento california and here in the studio is lawrence smith and he is executive director of the national organization for change he's also co-founder of the upcoming national march on the n.r.a. the national rifle association and that rally goes ahead on saturday welcome all of you to the stream and i want to start with a member of our community who heard we were doing this topic and tweeted in this this is dan who says if something is dealt with as a public health issue that's not to say that it is just one more service that health professionals provide it is an approach to dealing with health issues google public health approach and you'll see issues like seat belt use bike helmets tobacco use megan that all sounds rational and reasonable why then is
5:24 pm
gun control and gun use not on that list that's a great question and so the biggest reason gun violence and gun injury is not on that list is because as you said earlier there just hasn't been funding to address it as a public health issue at its core graham injury is no different from any other type of injury like car crashes or poor drowning or poisoning right and we've dealt with all of those public health issues over the last four or five decades we've developed a whole thing behind preventing injury and we haven't done it for guns simply because there has not been funding to do the research and epidemiology and the intervention trials that we've done that have successfully decreased car crashes over fifty percent that have decreased. by carbon monoxide and so on and in this something called the decay amendment which if i don't bring it up someone else will bring out for our international audience just explain what that means. sure the
5:25 pm
tikki amendment is a. a law that was passed that basically prevents federal agencies like the centers for disease control from conducting gun research. these were passed in the one nine hundred ninety s. after. the c.d.c. began researching a number of different gun issues and looking at the causes and possible ways to prevent. gun injury in the united states and this was passed in one thousand nine hundred six senate essentially said that funding that was appropriated to the centers for disease control's could be used to advocate for or against gun controls the practical effect and it was the federal research stopped and we haven't seen any federal dollars of any research will now going to dedicated to studying this problem since the midnight psych so that the challenge there is he's already contradicted himself he said that it didn't allow for research when specifically he
5:26 pm
just restated the words of the amendment which mean it didn't eliminate the ability to do research what it said was you cannot advocate for gun control meaning you cannot advocate for implementing policy restricting the constitutional right to keep and bear arms then the problem is that the folks at the c.d.c. if they can't advocate for gun control than they do then for some reason they've chosen that's ok i got mine and then i think any of their thought after that and then with path congress actually took away from thirty three the amount of money that they were spending on fire injury firearm injury research and anything any adult any channel any any congress is any congress can decide to put those resources to put resources towards that and that doesn't even include the discretionary resources that they have amongst the hundreds of millions of dollars they have to do research so much i'm going to do it and i think on the point that the congress could any congress could appropriate those dollars and allow the c.d.c.
5:27 pm
to begin doing this lifesaving research. i don't fortunately we haven't seen it done so there hasn't been any advantage and general dollars and i can give you that i don't why you haven't seen it done it's because congress is terrified of the n.r.a. the reason why is because the n.r.a. and gun manufacturers they have the ability to move voters so they are terrified of the n.r.a. and if the congress is to push for c.d.c. research for gun control. well i'm going to go and lawrence i'm going to just one thing in so research it's not a partisan issue right so we have successfully decrease deaths from car crashes without taking cars off the road we actually have no one cars on the road now than we had in the one nine hundred fifty s. and so good i mean by the way and find us ways don't let people who. don't want this right use with the idea that we should be doing research the problem is that when you go into research with the idea that guns are bad and we need to ban guns within your research is obviously going to be one with a level head with michael research that we would all like to research what we would
5:28 pm
all like to see is research that is. does not advocate but is actually unbiased research and unfortunately for the groups that do do it it's anything but i suggest let me just want to get to community and i want to get this perspective you know taking into account what you all are saying here this is mike ph d. and he writes in in terms of funding for health and gun violence i think it's a couple of things politics has reduced available funding fear of being seen as political and awareness that there are fewer funds has prevented scientists from submitting relevant grant proposals but then he takes this and this next week to a more personal level an issue with covered here in the stream but i think it's important to remind people he says that lack of awareness that suicide accounts for sixty percent of gun deaths and believes is incorrect ideas has led people away from prioritizing projects looking at suicide and firearms and gives a stat that around half of all u.s.
5:29 pm
suicides result from firearms that's from the c.d.c. lawrence i want to go to you with that because that's bringing it down to a personal level and i know that you can relate to that and yes. i went to a poor community i lived in a poor community i went to a poor school where our questions were and with like thirty plus kids i have seen students hide guns in their book bags. i have seen students high guns in their shorts and we have metal detectors and usually our school system the they talk to us about this they say hey we're going to have you know gun violence in your area when someone dies because we know not to expect a child to one of our friends to come to school there is literally no research for the african-american community where mental health is being run rampant literally i walked in on my mother trying to kill herself i lost it on a lost him. so you know i don't want to see that happen to anyone in research will take that
5:30 pm
a long way it is sad that we are now seeing more gun violence and we are seeing car accident i lost three sisters in a car accident and bamber actually already actually most recently they discovered there are actually more people going to be a car accidents than by gun violence but i agree let us research suicide and suicide prevention and there are groups like both the n.r.a. and the national shooting sports foundation that are working with suicide prevention organizations in order to help address the issue and i don't disagree but when we talk about gun violence we're forgetting that it is a violence issue when you were talking about when you're talking about gun suicides you're talking about a suicide issue we're focusing on what you want to focus on the tool and we're saying focus on the problem and i hear what you're saying though i think that that community member who tweeted and said it's. the fact that these things are readily available that makes that but i want i don't i want to push on just a little bit to a story that has been generating plenty of headlines over the last few days you all
5:31 pm
know it's three d. printed guns now u.s. federal judge on tuesday blocked a texas organization from publishing the schematics for such weapons that was just hours before they were about to go blind i'll just as rob reynolds has more. in three d. printer technology machines extrude minuscule layers of plastic or resin that gradually build up three dimensional objects using patterns we asked professional three d. printer peterman adi to make one for us consumer printers are available for as low as three hundred dollars so anybody that has three hundred dollars can essentially print one three d. printer guns have no serial numbers so they're untraceable they don't require permits or background checks so anybody can have one and because they're plastic they can go through any metal detector. so you hear the the issue laid out there i
5:32 pm
want to play a comment that we got from the c.e.o. of a three d. printing company when we heard he but we were doing this story this is what he told of his era opensource gun designs have been around for as long as i can remember before the internet you can get them by mail order by am at a gun shop and the tools to make guns have been around since well since the luddites fail to stop mechanisation. let's say we were successful at banning or stopping people from uploading in publishing gun designs on the internet that really wouldn't do anything there are many ways to acquire and capture the data today there's low cost laser scanners and three d. digitizers that you can put any object under and it will capture that three d. data in a matter of minutes so really this whole conversation is pointless. it's pointless adam back against that what do you think well look you know it we're dealing with a situation as package that you just played demonstrated where putting making
5:33 pm
downloadable guns available to anybody anywhere means that somebody who can't go to a gun store and buy a gun because they'll fail a background check maybe their domestic use or they have a long criminal rap sheet whatever the reason somebody who is unable to pass a background check and buy a gun can just download one off the internet with a click of a mouse only if they have a three d. printer that's problem one as we heard these are untraceable so law enforcement can't trace them in any way that makes them the only legal gun traffickers dream come true and because they're plastic they can be smuggled through traditional metal detector technology so you know this is a serious threat it's a problem that warrants a very strict sponsor and to just shrug your shoulders and suggest you know doesn't see here this doesn't matter at all i think really vastly understates the real risk presented here and craig i want to show something from your twitter thread because dean tweeted out the president of united states he says i'm looking to free the
5:34 pm
past that guns bring sell to the public already sleights the n.r.a. doesn't seem to make much sense.
