The epidemic of gun violence has devastated our country – with deadly repercussions for women, people of color, and other marginalized communities.
While no single gun violence prevention policy will put a stop to this violent epidemic, there are policies that, if enacted, would drastically reduce death, injuries, and the trauma of our communities and our nation.
Closing loopholes that allow violent people access to firearms, banning the sale of assault weapons, mandating background checks on all gun purchases, and increasing funding for community violence intervention programs would go a long way at preventing gun violence.
