Episode 277: How Tech Should Save Lives in Mass Shootings

In this episode we look at how technology should be used to save lives in mass shootings. We also discuss ways that preparations can be taken to reduce the impact of impulsive mass shootings. This is Part 11 of Brendan’s Solving Guns project.

This is a multi-part series that we are sharing first with our polilogue listeners—a project that is years in the making.  The goal is to examine every form of gun violence, to go deep on the reasons why people own guns in the first place, and to find solutions without passing gun restricting laws. Not because these types of laws are a bad idea or a good idea—but because there is so much else that can be done more immediately to reduce gun violence. Whether you love guns or hate them, my hope is that the solutions here can unite those on the left and the right behind one goal: to save lives. Something we can all agree on. 

You can find this project, with written versions and some videos online at www.SolvingGuns.org.  You can also find access to the 2000-plus pages of facts and statistics that Brendan leaned on for this project.
