I have grown increasingly concerned about gun violence and wanted to use my expertise to help address this enormous problem, in which the U. S. today is awash in gun violence. Every day in the United States, approximately 30 persons die of homicides committed by someone using a gun. Mass shootings (defined as four victims not including the perpetrator) now occur on average more than once a day, most committed by boys and men. In fact, murders are committed by males in more than 90 % of the cases in which the sex of the perpetrator is known.
