Lecture: “The Safety Myth: Why Guns Don’t Make Us Safer—and What Does”  ? Speaker: Dr. Jonathan Metzl  Join us for a compelling evening with Dr. Jonathan Metzl as we delve into the critical question of safety in America, particularly in a bustling city like New York. Drawing on insights from his bestselling book, What We’ve Become: Living and Dying in a Country of Arms, Dr. Metzl examines the dangerous equation of more guns equating to more security, revealing how this belief leads to violence and division rather than safety.  In this fast-paced talk, he will explore the cycle of mass shootings: the shock, horror, and political gridlock that follows, pondering what these events reveal about our society and the normalization of violence as an acceptable price for freedom. Through years of research with gun owners, activists, and survivors, Dr. Metzl illustrates how guns symbolize security for some and danger for others, ultimately deepening societal divides.  Blending storytelling and rigorous analysis, he will discuss what safety truly means in dense cities and how we can collectively rebuild trust and reduce harm. Don't miss this opportunity to rethink safety as a shared responsibility rather than an individual pursuit!
