U.S. Surgeon GeneralVerified account

The NRA helped make it impossible for the CDC to study the gun issue as a health crisis. As a health advocate, do you agree that the American people should be able to factually study this issue using the resources available in their own government?

As Surgeon General, please also use your moral authority to publicly support allowing NIH research into preventing #GunViolence. Research is needed to eliminate these preventable emergency visits and the emotional/economic costs to society.

As someone who lost friends at Columbine, watched in horror as people fled from the Aurora movie theater & have seen 10 police officers shot since 12/31 - I completely disagree; this is NOT a “local conversation!” This is an epidemic & it is YOUR job to address the source of it!

No. Real change starts with national, federal legislation to end gun violence. Real change starts when people like you stand up to the NRA.

During the hurricanes gun shops were burglarized. Weapons are stolen from people, from their homes and businesses. Bad guys don't follow the law.

What would you suggest the topic of all these local conversations be?

Our school has impemented active shooter training a lock down fob system for the entire school.And a select few teachers have CCL and train. In the office they have a quick access safe with Armilite rifles, We are protecting our kids. While the rest of you do Sqat..

What about the gun shows? They get a free pass and can pretty much do anything they want
