It is also important to note that mass shootings, like the slaughter of Black parishioners at the AME Baptist Church in Charleston, S. C. by a white racist consumed by hate, are a uniquely ‘American’ public health problem. When mass shootings hap- pened in New Zealand and in Canada, both countries took quick action to ban assault weapons and ban high capacity magazines. The U.S. lags far behind in addressing this problem. At our February forum, the question was asked, “How does gun violence impact elders?” The answer is both directly, and indirectly. The mass shootings at the South Carolina church, at a mosque in New Zealand, and at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, each targeted vulnera- ble elder church goers. Vulnerable targets also include the young, like the students who were shot and killed at Colum- bine, Sandy Hook, Parkland and other schools. It doesn’t matter in a gun-saturated society wheth- er innocent victims are praying in church, or studying in the class- room, gun violence impacts us all. As the late Sen. Robert F. Ken- nedy said, himself a victim of gun violence in 1968, if we want to ‘seek a newer world,’ we need to mitigate -- and to halt -- the public health menace of gun violence in our society.
