Gun reform is often framed as a political issue, when in reality it isn’t. The epidemic of gun deaths in our country makes this a public health issue and a public safety issue.
If you care about children, veterans, police officers, women, or are pro-life, gun reform is your issue. Guns are the leading cause of death among children and adolescents; 68% of veteran suicides are by firearm. Assault weapons in the hands of the public put police officers at greater risk and makes their job more challenging. Every year, more than 700 women are killed by intimate partners using guns. If you value life, you should be at the forefront of fighting to save lives.
