Gun violence in America is a policy choice.
Year after year, our experts find that states with better gun laws have lower gun death rates. Yet tens of thousands of Americans continue to die every year, because some states refuse to take action. It’s long past time they put safety first.

Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov should be coming home for winter break, celebrating the end of finals, and planning what comes next.
