USA Gun Culture Vs. Gun Access and Use (American Issues Take One)
We Can’t Separate Gun Violence from Movies. The hosts for this show are Tim Apicella and Jay Fidell. The guest is Chuck Crumpton.
Last week a 85-year-old white man in Kansas City, MO shot a black male teen in the head because he rang the doorbell at his front porch at 10PM. The 16-year-old teen walked up to the wrong house as he was trying to pick up his younger brother. Fear was cited as the reason the homeowner aimed his 32 caliber gun and fired through the front glass door, seriously injuring the teen. How did the right to protect oneself or family turn into the perceived right to shoot (without provocation) first and ask questions later? The homeowner was recently charged. The panel discusses how our decades fascination with violence in our TV shows and movies reflect where we stand in today’s gun culture and the wave of new weapon laws and mass shootings.
