One Doctor Takes a Stand on Firearms Violence
“I have a great appreciation for the research presented by Dr. Rahn Bailey and his colleagues in the medical community. This anthology offers specific information that is unique to the concerns of gun violence. Firearms and gun violence in America have been at critical points of discussion for decades and this book challenges us to find solutions to this problem. Dr. Bailey and his colleagues offer a clinical medical perspective on gun violence and consider it a “health crisis.” I was particularly drawn to a statement in the book that stood out for me: “We have a social responsibility to optimize the management, audit the outcome, and where possible, prevent the damage.” As a member of the North Carolina Legislature, I find this medical view of gun violence to be a tremendous challenge that should be taken seriously.” —State Senator Paul A. Lowe, Jr. North Carolina District 32
