Informações:

Synopsis

What if we considered gun violence as an issue of national security? Increasingly, terrorist groups, and specifically white supremacist extremist terrorists, have been turning to guns as instruments of terror for attacks in the United States. Sonali sits down with Lou Klarevas, political scientist and author of Rampage Nation: Securing America from Mass Shootings, to talk about the intersection of gun violence and security studies. They discuss how and why most deadly terrorist attacks in the United States are now perpetrated using firearms. And she talks with Colin Clarke, a Senior Research Fellow at The Soufan Center about the rise of white supremacist extremist terrorism in particular. Finally, she talks with her sister, Anjana Rajan, who has worked on designing an approach to identifying and preventing attacks by white supremacist extremists using cryptography as a fellow at The Aspen Institute.
