Some members of the medical community want to see gun violence designated as a public health issue. Their goal is to reduce incidents of gun violence in the same way as campaigns that targeted polio, smoking-related cancer, or car accidents. Opponents, including the National Rifle Association, say gun violence needs to be viewed as a crime and just that.
