Excellent- More about What We've Become: Living and Dying in a Country of Arms
The 2018 Nashville killings of four young adults of color by a naked, mentally ill white man with an AR-15 led Dr. Jonathan M. Metzl to question the limitations of biomedical frameworks for diagnosing and treating American gun politics. He argues that public health is a harder sell in a nation that fundamentally disagrees about what it means to be safe, healthy, or free and that mass shootings are a symptom of our most unresolved national conflicts. "What We've Become" sets us on the path of alliance-forging, racial reckoning, and political power-brokering to put things right.

When a naked, mentally ill white man with an AR-15 killed four young adults of color at a nearby Waffle House in Nashville, Dr. Jonathan M. Metzl, a doctor and gun policy scholar based in Nashville, once again advocated for common-sense gun reform. However, as he peeled back the evidence surrounding the racially charged mass shooting, a shocking question emerged: Did the approach he championed have it all wrong?
Dr. Metzl, who has long been a leading expert at the forefront of a movement advocating for gun reform as a matter of public health, has been on constant media call in the aftermath of fatal shootings. But the 2018 Nashville killings led him on a path toward recognizing the limitations of biomedical frameworks for fully diagnosing or treating the impassioned complexities of American gun politics. Increasingly, as Dr. Metzl came to understand it, public health is a harder sell in a nation that fundamentally disagrees about what it means to be safe, healthy, or free.
This brilliant, piercing analysis shows mass shootings as a symptom of our most unresolved national conflicts. What We've Become ultimately sets us on the path of alliance-forging, racial reckoning, and political power-brokering that we must take to put things right.
