For decades, increased gun violence “has led to loss of life, unimaginable pain, and profound grief” for millions of Americans.
Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children and teenagers in the United States. Schools, malls, and places of worship have become battlegrounds for active shooters. Last year, a poll showed that the majority of Americans said that they or a member of their family has been affected by gun violence.
And still, politicians have caved to lobbyists and extremists who think unregulated guns are more important than reducing death, injuries, and trauma. But recently, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy officially declared gun violence a public health crisis. This advisory is a huge step forward as it paves the way for funded research, data collection, and risk reduction.
Dr. Murthy also called for new, strong gun control measures. Please sign this petition to Support the U.S. Surgeon General’s call for a ban on assault weapons and large-capacity magazines!
