44,000 Americans die each year from gun-related causes, with the majority being suicides. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley talk with Steven Orr about moving past moral arguments to focus on psychological wellness. Steven shares his early experiences with firearms. They examine how mental health drives gun violence stats and why data plus responsible ownership offer clearer paths forward.
