Today’s piece is a recent interview with Dr. Jonathan Quick who “has explored how consumer products can create harmful patterns of use that mimic infectious disease outbreaks, a concept he has called ‘market-driven epidemics.’”

An armed society is a polite society? -- "One of the most well-known and widely articulated slogans approvingly deployed by pro-gun advocates comes from a 1940s work of fiction, and the “polite society” being described is one in which shooting someone over a crab leg is completely normal."

“In recent years, several HBCUs have been shaken by gun violence during culturally sacred moments, often during Homecoming festivities when the yard is meant to be our sanctuary.” #HBCU #gunviolenceawareness #GVP

“Guns are used to threaten and intimidate far more often than they are used in self-defense. Most self-reported self-defense gun uses may well be illegal and against the interests of society.” #GVP #gunviolenceawareness #mythbusting #selfdefence #DefensiveGunUse #disinformation

Amidst the horrible near and far mass shooting events over the weekend, yesterday, December 14, was the 13th anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, CT. #sandyhook @sandyhookpromise.bsky.social #gunviolenceawareness #GVP #schoolshootings

GVPedia founder Devin Hughes has just released his first book - The Myths We Carry: An Advocate’s Guide to the Gun Debate. It’s a handy compendium of all the major themes and arguments Hughes has been researching and promoting since he started GVPedia back in 2012.

A prime directive of GVPedia is to continually search for and compile the latest peer-reviewed academic and scientific studies and reports related to gun violence. Check out the November #ResearchRewind open.substack.com/pub/armedwit...

GVPedia founder Devin Hughes recently joined the Jewish Gun Violence Prevention Roundtable’s webinar as one of its guest speakers. The discussion explored common, if often incorrect, assumptions about gun ownership, and dove into research about the risks and realities of gun violence.

GVPedia leader Devin Hughes reports from the 2025 National Research Conference for the Prevention of Firearm-Related Harms in Tempe, AZ. After many fascinating and harrowing presentations, his main takeaway was that the GVP movement is not focusing enough on gun lobby disinformation.

"This is the moment for state senators, representatives, mayors, commissioners — whoever holds power — to lean into populist energy that doesn’t just perform, but produces. Because right now, too many of us are fighting back in lowercase." #gunviolenceawareness #CVI #violencereduction

As we’ve previously reported, there’s a better statistical chance of accidentally getting shot by a dog than a “good guy with a gun” stopping an active shooter. This most recent example of mutt marksmanship happened in Berks County, PA. #dogshootsman #gunviolenceawareness #GVP #DefensiveGunUse
