phones is interesting because it's very much about consolidating this imagery of what is a real american get past that right that's is your last draw 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 the 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 threat 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 low reading. participants learn how to use that width and in all sorts of situations. some training battlefield scenarios, others in domestic spaces. the jetta shooter

out with one another. at 150 age in the morning, a man carrying and the salt rifle entered in 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 dance together and i just needed to use the bathroom before we call 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 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 look 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 motives homeless, sophia 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 most 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

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 comes just trying to study the 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 life 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, 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 janice alone, dean's knife changed forever in the phoenix shopping center. alexa lock front, lock a bullet to the neck, left to a paraplegic, the alexa. alexa, all lights on. another bullet to fiance in the hedge 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, 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. as in arizona state legislator, jennifer longed an advocate. so background checks on gun purchases, unsafe guns, storage every year i've run a very simply fail around safe storage. there's a child in your home is injured because you didn'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 track of the

got them here. got them here. coming address. there is again, you know, it's a female and that's 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 road and i'll see somebody the group of guys tucked in the bushes. i was just stopping the duke's on. like it was, he took some good american getting back and i personally satellite, phoning, co, border control, 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 the get it right to sound the different they say the to help out the us border patrol, which they claim is a 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 day of that to ins and to force in iraq or afghanistan, the americans live that lead to tim solely used to work in construction. that move to the border of to the 2008 financial crisis. an odd fine. if donald trump, he says he even travel to washington on january the 6th 2021,

but didn't take policy and the attack on the capital of 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 area draws 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 the fatal incidents 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 where is registered for 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 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. adage, county, the, 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 sleeve control, 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 $1861.00 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 mob. 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 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 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 spot 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 on august. 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 it's, this is one story. based on the 9th tells me both of those soldiers doing them all the regiment. 03 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 that 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'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. net turn, all those black men and women, and many, many more, and many more organizations that they die for nothing. the one thing we should do after a black person a shot is the next day we all to carry a historically asking americans have been given this socialization that we do not need to have guns. we're the only community ethnically in the world that believes that there's this 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 puffs. that smells 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 this cities like music or 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 to hey, to talk to stephanie bonnie, 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. the plastic. see? oh, nice, nice, nice, nice easy. did you ever costs me remind me the this is the volume. yeah. okay. so most of them, most of ma'am i'm here so so you had this one here.

he was hit by 6 split steering an altercation. one of them into the major, all 3 in his optimum. he badly survived, slowly crossed this big artery in vain. so originally, so he's had his valley 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 him 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 the drop foot. so this house and walk onto the salt. i will be driven all over the place because my foot can't pick up. this 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, physically processing me in . thank you. the talk to bonnie is a specialist in gun shots. injuries she spent is advocating for guns violence prevention. a lot of people don't realize or understand what happens after somebody get 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 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, it absolutely can be characterized as an academic gun violence isn't limited 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 of pumps. the crystal tanner last 2 if

have 4 children to guns violence. now she's raising her 2 grandchildren. the lord was 5 where he had just her 5 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 50th 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.

self help groups with parents of magic 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 is the thing that i learned to join this q after you sit on the couch, after all the cameras are going to have to 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 bid for a week set a time? where do i get out on the street and make something happen? and make sure that everybody in the world knows your child. davis was just 17 years old. when 45 year old michael dunn shall

seem to dest, allowed to music for guy, the driver to 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, gets into a stance and start shooting for more bullets into the car. he shoots 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 are killed the guy. yeah. yeah. right, right. mm hm. and then when you have a situation, cause you brain, now you want to use it. hm. 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. ok, 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. keep the guns 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 instruct to add 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. 6 i'm a formal judge sky, i'm a former military, i have a flag in my yard. i vote for donald trump. so i am
