As many as 39,773 AmEricans losE their lives to gun violEncE annually according to a study recEntly published by the CentErs for DisEasE Control and Prevention.1 In 2019, a total of 418 mass shootings occurred in AmErica. Of thosE, twEnty-nine occurred in TExas. As past mass shootings demonstratE, no location is off limits. PlacEs of worship, schools, workplacEs, moviE theatErs, retail stores, homEs, and even streEts have all beEn locations of mass shootings in TExas alone. In fact, somE of the deadliEst mass shootings in AmErica have occurred on TExas soil. Although it is apparent that the problEm of mass shootings reaches far beyond schools, I have chosEn to focus solEly on mass school shootings for the purposE of my resEarch. This thesis Examines the commEmoration procEssEs of the 1966 University of TExas (UT) TowEr and 1999 Columbine High School (Colorado) mass school shootings in order to show stakeholders’ ability to creatE falsE historical narratives and embed them into sociEty’s collEctive mEmory. This, paired with each shooting’s larger historical contExt, shaped how sociEty talked about and remEmbered each tragedy. The creation

  • America's Background Check System and Ways to Improve It
    America’s Background Check System and Ways to Improve It The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence In the aftermath of the horrific shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on February 14, 2018, and the massacres in Sutherland Springs and Las Vegas in late 2017, the background check system and how it works has once again become the subject of public attention. That system exists because of the tireless work of Jim and Sarah Brady. Congress enacted the Brady background check system despite fierce opposition from the National Rifle Association (NRA). This system is the best and greatest defense America has against access to guns by dangerous people. It seems that consensus can be reached on few things in Washington, but this is one where consensus is almost unanimous: 97 percent of Americans believe that the background check system should be fortified.1 The question before policy makers today is how to best strengthen this system, which has already blocked more than 3 million attempts to buy guns by people barred under law from having them.2 This report provides those answers, along with some key facts as to why the system needs improvements and the fixes that address those needs. Real change in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) requires: (1) Closing the legal gaps that today result in at least one in five guns being sold without a background check; (2) providing greater funding to state, tribal, and federal agencies for inputting records into the system; and (3) ensuring state, tribal, and federal agencies take greater responsibility for inputting all relevant records into the system in a timely manner by becoming more directly involved in conducting background checks themselves.

  • The Evolution of Feminist and Institutional Activism Against Sexual Violence
    Bethany Gen In the Shadow of the Carceral State: The Evolution of Feminist and Institutional Activism Against Sexual Violence Bethany Gen Honors Thesis in Politics Advisor: David Forrest Readers: Kristina Mani and Cortney Smith Oberlin College Spring 2021 Gen 2 “It is not possible to accurately assess the risks of engaging with the state on a specific issue like violence against women without fully appreciating the larger processes that created this particular state and the particular social movements swirling around it. In short, the state and social movements need to be institutionally and historically demystified. Failure to do so means that feminists and others will misjudge what the costs of engaging with the state are for women in particular, and for society more broadly, in the shadow of the carceral state.” Marie Gottschalk, The Prison and the Gallows: The Politics of Mass Incarceration in America, p. 164 ~ Acknowledgements A huge thank you to my advisor, David Forrest, whose interest, support, and feedback was invaluable.

Politics trumps history, this is an advocacy book, not a history bookBy John R. Lott Jr.This review was published in The Weekly Standard August 1, 2016Pamela Haag calls gun makers merchants of death. And Americas love affair with guns, she says, didnt really start until the late 1800s, when the merchants of death convinced Americans that they wanted guns. She describes how gun makers were innovators in advertising, using promotional materials to lure Americans into buying firearms, even deploying skilled marksmen and trick-shot artists to show off the guns.Haags story centers around the Winchester family, famous for its rifles, and she focuses on two members of the family: Oliver Winchester, who started the company, and Sarah Winchester, his daughter-in-law, who was supposedly haunted by her familys blood fortune and experienced an enormous, haunting debt of guilt.The Gunning of America, however, is an advocacy book, not a history book, and Haag carefully selects her facts and gives readers a biased presentation of history.
