Gun violence in both Minnesota and the United States needs common-sense policy reforms. We lose too many lives every single year to both homicide and suicide by firearm. Many more are wounded by gunfire and have chronic, debilitating injuries that severely impact their livelihood. In the medical field, data drives decision-making and we need to continue to provide funding for gun violence prevention to make our communities safe. Gun violence is not solely a Twin Cities area issue – most rural Minnesota counties have a gun death rate more than two times the rate of our urban areas. Additionally, gun violence costs our state billions of dollars per year. 

Justice has seen the dire impacts of gun violence on our communities in patients he has treated, taking care of both adults and children who have died due to firearms. Together, we can enact policies that keep everyone safe while respecting the rights of responsible gun owners. These policies include banning assault-style weapons, closing the gun-show loophole, banning ghost guns, and enacting laws such as lost and stolen firearm reporting requirements, bulk firearm purchase restrictions, magazine capacity restrictions, and gun industry accountability laws.
