- 0:00 I know that gun violence in America is a very sensitive topic and it's one that's been talked about and debated over time and time again, but after the most recent ending at the Atlanta airport with the potential shooting threat that ended up being avoided, um shadow Atlanta police department.
- 0:22 Um it raises some concerns because a convicted felon did have an AK-47 and once again we find ourselves asking, how does this happen when you know felons are not supposed to be able to access these rifles?
- 0:46 Um is more gun control the answer or do we think that more gun control just opens up an alley for you know kind of black market selling of rifles and guns.
- 1:07 But yeah, I just kinda wanted to open that up for discussion and also talk about you know why we see time and time again the demographic of these shootings is white males, why is this demographic so much more likely to do these crimes of kind of that stem out of self-loathing or you know personality disorders?
- 1:40 Is it because you know this demographic of people is encouraged to be strong and be the leaders of their families and that is why they end up feeling depressed because if they're not being a provider, if they're not successful in life, then you know they end up making these bad decisions because of the mental health struggles they endure and also you know kind of it's a pretty big stigma for you know men going to therapy, they can be perceived as soft.
- 2:16 But yeah, this is just an interesting um topic.
- 2:21 Shout out the his family who reported him after they saw his social media post.
- 2:28 But yeah, I think this is a that incident is a gateway for some conversation on a gun violence and you know shootings are happening all the time, especially recently with school shootings, um, Charlie Kirk's assassination and this and also um mental health for white men who are repeatedly the um the people responsible for these shootings.
- 3:00 But yeah, let me know your thoughts.
