Gun violence is getting worse. Is this the solution?
The surgeon general's office has declared gun violence a national public health crisis.
It's the first time the body has ever issued a public health advisory about firearms, and for Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, it's a step in reframing the conversation about death by gunfire.
According to the CDC, more than 48,000 Americans were killed by gun violence in 2021, and over half of those deaths were by suicide.
