The Bunker – News without the nonsense

Bunker USA: Can America solve its mass shooting crisis?


Listen Later

Young people living in America are more likely to be shot and killed than to die in a car accident. Does that shock you? What about this - there have been over 600 mass shootings recorded in the US every year for 3 years, not far from 2 a day. Why is it getting worse? And Are there any solutions at all? Dr. Patrick M. Carter is Co-Director at the Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention at Michigan State University. He joins Alex Andreou in The Bunker.


  • “It’s hard to say exactly what the reason for the increase in mass shootings is, but they are increasing.” – Dr Patrick Carter
  • “There isn’t a single solution, it isn't just about banning guns.” – Dr. Patrick M. Carter.
  • “We are decades behind on research for this public health problem.” – Dr. Patrick M. Carter.
