Today, we\\u2019re doing our best to cut out any sensationalism or politics about the sometimes-very-controversial topics of gun violence and gun laws, and even how or if mental illness plays a role. Instead, we\\u2019re focusing on what the data shows about all of it, like who is really most at risk of getting hurt and the actions that may actually keep people safer.

First up, I\\u2019m speaking with researcher and practicing emergency physician Dr. Megan Ranney. She\\u2019s the co-founder of a nonprofit bringing together medical and public health experts focused on responsible gun stewardship and reducing the rate of firearm injuries and deaths.

And because we know mass shootings can often cause anxiety and fear, we\\u2019ll chat with licensed family therapist Emma McAdam, who you may know from her popular YouTube channel \\u201cTherapy in a Nutshell.\\u201d She\\u2019ll talk about how to calm those emotions so we can still live the life we want.
