Show Notes
A new study reveals that a significant number of Americans have contemplated using a gun for harm, with 8% admitting to bringing a firearm to a location with intent to shoot someone. The study, conducted by the University of Michigan, found that men, younger Black individuals, Midwestern residents, city dwellers, and low-income households were more likely to have these thoughts. While most people dont act on these impulses, the sheer volume results in thousands of gun injuries annually. The primary triggers were enemies, government workers, family members, ex-partners, and current spouses. The study acknowledges its limitations and calls for further research to understand and prevent these incidents.
