Gun violence takes a devastating emotional toll on the people who experience it, leaving profound trauma and consequences for those who experience it. We must speak up about the long-lasting financial, legal, emotional, and physical impacts of gun violence. Gunshot wounds can lead to disability, pain, injuries, and financial hardships. Delegate Price's bill, HB798, is one way we can show survivors of gun violence that we support them.

As a gun violence survivor, survivor of suicide loss, and a multigenerational gun owner, I'm asking you to support HB798. We need a comprehensive approach to address this crisis & funding this Center will help leaders & researchers make real strides in ending Gun violence in the Commonwealth.

Gun violence costs Virginia 7.1 billion dollars every year of which 292.5 million is paid by taxpayers. We need a comprehensive approach to address this crisis & funding this Center will help leaders & researchers make real strides in ending Gun violence in the Commonwealth.
