Why is #GunViolence a uniquely American Public Health Crisis — a question I often get.

At the core of this problem is having Easy Access to Firearms.

Easy access ➕ ‘numerous variables’ can lead to injury, death and disability.

That’s The Formula.

It's the guns.

'When babies die at a church school, it is time for us to move beyond thoughts and prayers. Remind our lawmakers of the words of the British statesman Edmund Burke: 'All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.''

-- Senate Chaplain Barry Black #Nashvile

“When babies die at a church school, it is time for us to move beyond thoughts and prayers,” Senate Chaplain Barry C. Black says.

“Lord, deliver our senators from the paralysis of analysis that waits for the miraculous.”

The red line is when Republicans ended the national assault weapons ban.

The parents of two children who died by AR-15 gunfire consented to having The Post visually reconstruct what the bullets did to their bodies.

A spokesman for the family of Peter Wang, a Parkland victim, said the 'parents want people to know the truth' wapo.st/3JRkV4o

All Americans need to understand what these weapons of war do. If you think you have a right to these weapons, then you accept this as normal. #shame ⁦NRA⁩

We know that MAGA Republicans are extreme and out of touch.

But the effort to impose the death penalty for women who seek abortion care is a sickening level of cruelty.

These people must be stopped.

Trauma surgeons @josephsakran & Kimberly Davis see what bullets do to peoples’ bodies. In a new op-ed, they're pulling back the curtain on the trauma they see and experience in the operating room.

In a civil society, we are at war with ourselves. We, as Americans, are not more violent than any other country. We have structural issues but so do other countries. We have income inequality but so do other countries. We have racism but so do other countries. What is unique: gun

We have reached another level of depraved insanity in this country.
