a public health issue — particularly, the effect of state firearm laws
on gun violence rates at the state level. I’ve written about the
correlation between gun laws and mass shootings, the impact of
concealed-carry laws, the firearm industry’s influence on the gun
culture in the United States, and more. I’ll be back at 1pm ET to answer
your questions, Ask me anything. ***** SIGNING OFF FOR NOW - However, I
will check in this evening and tomorrow to answer any additional

great questions!
