"The young people who are most closely associated with guns are more likely to be White people who have worse symptoms of anxiety or depression, according to new research conducted by Everytown for Gun Safety, American University’s Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation Lab (PERIL) and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)."

This, fight right wing extremism, reach out to youths, and deal with the racism, stalking and domestic violence that often proceeds massacres.

I would like to know their methodology on how the people that were surveyed were found.

Because data is showing the fastest rises in gun ownership is among lgbt and racial minority people, and women. Guns being the purview of straight white guys is fading away.
