Summary

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. www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Alex Andreou. Producer: Chris Jones.
