HBO's "Task" is a great show...and I especially loved this inclusion of secure gun storage! It's a a quick reference, but it helps normalize an important part of responsibile gun ownership that can save lives at home @markruffalo.bsky.social @meganranney.bsky.social

Researchers and gun violence prevention advocates had hoped state research hubs like New Jersey’s, though few in number, would serve as a fallback in the absence of federal dollars and play a bigger role in funding going forward.

Governor Phil Murphy’s move to slash a New Jersey research hub comes as the state braces for leaner budgets under the Trump administration.

excellent commentary from @meganranney.bsky.social on a study (next post in thread) on how many of use are directly affected by mass shootings and how ( @michaelhobbes.bsky.social voice): even our perception of them is racist jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

This brings me to the third and final important part of this study, which is minimally discussed in the report: it highlights inequities in our even acknowledging the patterns of gun violence in the US. Some have hypothesized that the US pays disproportionate attention to mass shootings because they affect mostly White people. This report shows this perception to be incorrect: as with other types of gun violence, Black adults were more likely to report exposure to mass shootings.

The report does suggest, however, that we simply are less likely to talk about mass shootings that affect Black individuals or other marginalized groups. eTable 2 in Supplement 1 of the report is purely descriptive but shows that a lower proportion of Black (as well as Hispanic and lower-income) respondents say the mass shooting at which they were present received media attention.
