gun safety

The events that took place in our recent history draw attention once again that there's a difference between the ideal when it comes to law enforcement, and our current reality. And although the political battle is still making hay for this side or that, we as a community have some things to discuss when it comes to the recent shooting of a Utah citizen.

Even if it's not as simple as the pundits make it out to be, event of this sort have ramifications, even if it's not in the way our cultural detractors would like it to be.

More importantly, we as the community ought come together on this matter, if not to bring up moral and legal challenges against those responsible for what took place, than certainly about what it means to look out for one another.

Ethan Song loved to ski, hike, and play Spikeball. He loved his 10 cousins and would play card games with them for hours. Ethan assisted his mom in finding homes for almost 100 abandoned puppies.

According to police reports, kids pulled the trigger of the rifle on at least one occasion. Young people were able to access weapons for months, even when a parent was in the home. On at least one occasion, Ethan was secretly taught to shoot by the parent. The Song family honors his life through actions that help keep kids safe.

Gun violence is a serious issue that affects communities across the country. From school shootings to accidental shootings, the impact of gun violence on our children can be devastating. As parents, educators, and community members, we all have a role to play in protecting our kids from gun violence. In this podcast, we will discuss practical tips and strategies that you can use to keep your children safe.

We provide an overall context of why the US, despite being an advanced country, sees gun violence regularly across schools and public places and lawmakers continue to fight on both sides of the aisle trying to parse the second amendment while the death toll climbs steadily. 

The most important of the podcast is related to having these tough and delicate conversations with kids and tips and strategies to remain vigilant and safe. Let us put an end to the tragedy and bring about positive change.  Let us do our part.

On this episode Raphael is joined by Peter Ambler, the executive director of the gun safety organization Giffords. Since co-founding Giffords with Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, Navy Captain – and now U.S. Senator – Mark Kelly, Peter and their team have faced unimaginable tragedy with courage, determination and grace, and they’ve worked together with people from all walks of life to lead the way toward meaningful progress on gun safety.

In our conversation, Peter shares their remarkable story, offers advice for brands on how to affect public policy for good, and how he maintains his personal energy to keep fighting for change in the face of so much challenge.

In this episode of Colloquy, part two of our discussion of guns and public health in America. In part one, we got a sense of the scope of the problem: nearly 400 million guns owned by US civilians, over 45,000 gun deaths in 2020, dramatically elevated risk of suicide among people who own handguns, and much more. 

So, can anything be done about the problem in a society as politically polarized as ours? David Hemenway, one of the country's leading experts on guns and public health, says yes. If we set aside our prejudices and assumptions and focus on areas of common concern, we can work together to improve safety and public health—even in places where gun rights are sacrosanct. But Hemenway says we shouldn't stop there. There's plenty to be done in states like Massachusetts, where guns are more strictly regulated.

David Hemenway is a professor of health policy at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center. The author of five books, Professor Hemenway, has written widely on injury prevention, including firearms, violence, and suicide. He headed the pilot for the National Violent Death Reporting System, which provides detailed and comparable information on suicide and homicide. In 2012, he was recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as one of the 20 most influential injury and violence professionals over the past 20 years. Professor Hemenway got his PhD from GSAS in 1974. 

Joe Madison unleashes on Alex Jones for the hatred he showed toward the families who lost their babies in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting almost 10 years ago.

Black women and women of color around the country tell Joe Madison what is motivating them to get a gun.

Today Ali and JoDee welcome back Adam McLean. Adam joins them to talk about making the switch from teaching to instructional design, tips for setting up your resume or LinkedIn profile for these types of roles, and the best places to look for job opportunities in instructional design.

WHY IS IT THAT EVEN WHEN DEMOCRAT'S HAVE A WINNING ARGUMENT THEY LOSE ON THE ISSUES? I GIVE MY THOUGHTS ON WHAT DEMOCRATS NEED TO DO TO BREAK THROUGH THE WALL OF MISTRUST IN OUR POLITICS. I SUGGEST SOME EXAMPLES OF GUN SAFETY REFORMS THAT SEEM TO WORK IN OTHER COUNTRIES. HOW WOULD I TALK TO CONSERVATIVES IF I WAS ON FOX NEWS?

Becky Pringle, President of the National Education Association, calls for an end to empty promises and a commitment to common sense reform to protect students, teachers and administrators from gun violence in school.
