Gun violence deaths among children are preventable if we begin to act. Gun violence is the leading cause of death among children. I recently shared some thoughts with KTTC in Rochester, Minnesota on why people across the aisles should care, and what we can do next.
The way I see it, there’s three factors in this issue. There are physical elements, individual behaviors, and social factors. To understand and tackle this issue, we need to address all three. I explain this and actionable next steps out in my book, “Saving Our Kids: An ER Doc’s Common-Sense Solution to the Gun Crisis.” Watch the full interview here.
