In 2016, voters in households with guns voted for Donald Trump at rates that exceeded virtually all demographic divides other than party identification. But a weakened National Rifle Association (NRA) and the rise of a much stronger, robustly resourced, and more organized gun regulation movement has changed the political calculus around gun rights and regulations, writes Regional Gun Violence Research Consortium member Matt Lacombe.

While next month's election is dominated by the presidential race and control of Congress, there are significant marijuana policy issues on the ballot as well. At the federal level, Republican and Democratic presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have weighed in on rescheduling and federal legalization of marijuana. At the state level, several citizen-initiated ballot measures would legalize either recreational or medicinal marijuana (and in Oregon, a ballot measure will decide a cannabis labor issue). And at the local level, some municipalities may decriminalize marijuana in their jurisdictions while others opt out of marijuana retail sales.

Last month's Executive Order from President Biden directing the US Departments of Education and Homeland Security to publish updated guidance on active shooter drills came amid ongoing concerns about the potential negative impacts of such drills. But the conversation around drills often confuses "active shooter drills" and "lockdown drills" (the two are not synonymous), and new research suggests some amount of perceived risk is inherent to effectively training preparedness. In a new blog, members of the Regional Gun Violence Research Consortium Jaclyn Schildkraut Amanda Nickerson & Emily Greene-Colozzi explain why the terms and the new research matter.

Recent cases of soil contamination in several US states by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have heightened concerns about the safety of biosolids—organic materials produced from wastewater treatment often used as fertilizer. PFAS can enter biosolids through wastewater and subsequently contaminate groundwater, crops, and animal byproducts. As research links PFAS exposure to health risks like cancer, questions arise about regulatory standards for biosolids. In a new blog series focused on PFAS and biosolids, Laura Rabinow, PhD outlines how (and how much of) this material is produced and how it gets used. https://lnkd.in/erRnVFAA

Schools are back in session and school leaders and policymakers continue to grapple with how best to ensure school safety. In the context of school gun violence, the emphasis on deterring and responding to major attacks in school security discourse can come at the cost of a lack of prioritization on prevention, writes Regional Gun Violence Research Consortium member Jack Rozel, MD, MSL, DFAPA in a new blog. And one of the most effective tools in the gun violence prevention toolkit is behavioral threat assessment and management (BTAM). Read the blog: https://lnkd.in/e-ccDdUh
