Why Do We Keep Blaming Guns Instead of Mental Health and Data?

from Solving America's Problems

Most gun violence comes from breakdowns in data, mental health support, and social media’s toxic effects. Education could shift the trajectory. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley talk with Steven Orr about rethinking gun control, confronting societal neglect, and how stronger mental health conversations plus better schooling can prevent future violence. Varied opinions clash, but the resistance to real talk stands out.Timestamps:(00:00) Reform clips miss the point – violence isn’t just about guns(06:24) Rapid-fire forces honesty – education and mental health are the levers(08:45) Real lesson hits home – society avoids the hard conversationsConnect:Steven Orr – Instagram | X | LinkedIn | Website🌍 Connect with us: Instagram | YouTube | X
