Gun Violence The Public Health Crisis

In this episode of Real Physician Reacts let’s talk about the recent mass shooting that occurred at Highland Park in Illinois by Robert Crimo III and the continued Public Health crisis that gun violence has become here in this country.

In a country where gun violence continues to be on the rise, especially since the pandemic began with more than 45,000 Americans dying by a gun in 2020, a 15% increase over 2019, and over a 40% increase from 2010. Despite U.S. civilians owning more than double the number of firearms per resident as the next highest country, the United States can not seem to curtail this growing issue.
