Host Lillian Cauldwell welcomes Bruce Thatcher, author of Gun Mania. What is GunMania? How can we reduce death and injury caused by guns?" is the wrong question. A much better question is "how can we reduce the overall rates of suicide and violent crime?" Gun Mania brings that question to the forefront by looking at the history of America and four other nations to identify why guns are a core element of only the American culture and implications for reducing our rate of violent deaths.
