I want you to understand the deep connection that the issue of guns and gun violence has with the work of the Luskin School of Public Affairs. Among the other focuses is a focus on Mental Health. Guns are the single biggest killer of women. They are the single biggest cause of successful suicide. It turns out people may try to take their own life more often than we would like, and its a tragedy, but we are not very good at it unless there is a gun present.
