Fi****ms are used in half of all su***de deaths.
Every day, 64 Americans die by firearm su***de. That’s one every 22 minutes. 💔
I am grateful for the invitation from LSU Health Sciences Center to attend Guns & Mental Health, hosted by The Armory Project, Walk the Talk America, Louisiana Range Gun Club, and The Rustic Renegade. 💛
I had the opportunity to shoot different types of fi****ms and learn appropriate gun safety, which gave me a deeper understanding of both gun culture and the importance of responsible ownership.
The shooting range is actually therapeutic for many, involving a state of calm, focus, and the intentional use of deep breathing.
