Gun violence has a human toll equivalent to a medical epidemic.
Over the course of the last day in the United States, roughly:
- Forty-eight children and teens were shot;
- Of those, seven kids died;
- And 41 were shot and survived;
- Nearly 300 people were shot in murders, assaults, suicides, suicide attempts, and unintentional shootings;
- Almost 90 people died today as a direct result of gun violence.
And that’s just today.
And yet, time and again, we are told there isn’t much anyone can do to prevent this from happening.
Assembly Democrats led the fight on passing responsible gun legislation to get us closer to another number. Zero.
No More Victims.
