COVID-19 is scary, and part of that is the news that surrounds it--from physical distancing that can lead to social isolation, to worries about what the economic downturn could bring. And, all those things can be made even scarier when we think about it in relation to by increased risks of gun violence, because gun violence is, unfortunately, a constant in the US. . Christian Heyne, the Vice President of Policy at Brady, and Mighty Fine of the American Public Health Association talk with host JJ about things we can be doing in these times, when both are intersecting, to help ourselves and one another.
