194: What Research Says About Bringing a Gun Into Your Home
Send a text
Many gun owners across the US report that they store their guns safely. But what does safely, or responsibly storing, a firearm look like? In a study conducted by John Hopkins and Dr. Cassandra Crifasi, Deputy Director of the Center for Gun Violence Prevention and Policy, it was found that less than half of the U.S. gun owners store all their guns safely. So, how can gun violence prevention advocates — who know the risk of unsecured firearms — change this public health crisis? How can we all better craft messaging that reaches gun owners, and gun owning communities? To find out, host JJ sat down with Dr. Crifasi to discuss what programs work, what systems don't, and the importance of credible messengers.
