People are dying of gun violence in our homes, in our churches, in our schools, on our street corners, and at public gatherings.

We've recommended common sense gun safety protections,

waiting periods and background checks for those seeking

to purchase a gun, and increase funding for mental health services.

We've called upon the Center for Disease Control and Prevention to conduct epidemiological

research on gun violence. It is perhaps the only leading cause of death where such research is not

being conducted. To those who feel we should not address this as an organization, because it is too

controversial, I would ask, did we shy away from fighting discrimination against AIDS patients in the early days of that epidemic,

even though much of society stigmatized those with HIV?

No. We let science lead us.

And did we mute our opposition to smoking because big tobacco defended it? No. We let science lead us. And even now,
