    It feels right to me. People are being injured, maimed, permanently disabled, and killed. All by a particular piece of readily available technology. When we can point to the single thing that causes all those individual health emergencies, and it’s consistently happening across the country on a daily basis to many many people, in public spaces that are otherwise quite safe, that’s most definitely a public health crisis.

      Additionally, all the mental health impacts. Our children are afraid to go to school, a place they are legally bound to be, because of gun violence.

      If you look at gun violence the way you look at disease I’m sure there are correllaries. Cycles of one person inflicting pain on a group, and that group transmitting that pain back onto a different group.
