Surgeons clean hands took them 25 years. Max Planck, the physicist said, you know, you never change anybody's mind. The old guys just die and the young guys grow up believing in your theories. And so we can hang the crepe around this, but the beauty of this is that we can change We can change in our social network almost overnight, almost overnight. And I want to go back to who has a gun.

I was talking to a preventive medicine doctor about this. And she said, oh yeah, my husband just bought a pistol. Like, oh, you know, like that would be the last person I would believe would have a pistol in their house. It wasn't. And so you never know. And so what you need is you need to have that comeback that says, you know, 40% of households have a pistol in them, have a firearm in them.

Many of them are unsecured. I just ask, thank you very much for securing your firearm, or thank you very much for accepting my question. There's no moral. It's not a moral question. It's not judgmental. But I want to hear some more from Theo and what she's been up to.

And our friend Rachel Weigert, who's a ER doc over at Children's, says the most disheartening thing in the world to hear is the wail of the parents over the body of a dead child. If you want to lose a friend, if you want to lose a friend, have somebody shot in your house. Remorse forever.

Lock it up separately somewhere else in the house.

Lock it up separately somewhere else in the house.

Yeah, there is a spectrum. I mean, we like locked separately, both locked. If, you know, and this may be, you know, well, I need, I just am not comfortable with, having an unloaded firearm in that lockbox. Okay, that's not ideal, but it's a heck of a lot better than having it in your desk drawer. I wanted to go back to Barry with a couple of things. One, we can, I own a gun.

I have a rifle that's up at the lake. It's locked. It's got a trigger lock on it. And so I'm one of those beasts that own guns. But, you know, where we connect socially is we're all parents or grandparents and we can act. That's our social network. Okay. Okay. and whether or not we own a gun. And I really, you can tell, I really bristle at this idea of let somebody else do it, okay?

If we all take a little action, ask, ask to ask, We can solve this problem. We don't have to rely on anybody else. We can, in our social networks, we can solve this problem of unsecured firearms. We all own it.

We all own it. But what I like about Barry's example is this diffusion of innovation that when you see other people doing it, you do it. People like me lock up their guns. Oh, I better lock up my gun or I'm going to be embarrassed the next time I go to a party and somebody says, hey, do you lock up your guns? Oh, hell no.

I just I tell my kids, you know, stay away from them, you know, and then, you know. Yeah. And so it's this diffusion of innovation, of modeling. And that's this. And what we've been hearing is this is not should not be an embarrassing thing.
