Gun violence in the U.S. is an epidemic.

Adam Cohen

I've pretty much always used my positions as a bully pulpit. What that means is strongly advocating for the things I feel are really important. Gun violence, to me, is the highest-priority public-health issue, and I have to make sure Congress is aware of it, the American people are aware of it, the president is aware of it, and that we all begin together to develop policies to exterminate the disease - the epidemic, really - of gun violence.

Joycelyn Elders

The Brady Act was passed in response to what Congress described as an 'epidemic of gun violence.'

David Souter

Wayne Messam

You can just assume that better law enforcement response is going to quell the epidemic of gun violence in this country.

Chris Murphy

I'm so sick and tired of all this violence, this gun violence. And how could I speak on it - you know - being one who has advocated violence and gun violence? The only way I could do it was through a song that spoke from the heart.

Snoop Dogg

We have an epidemic of gun violence in America, and in trying to understand how that has happened, part of what we need to do is help equip our children to respond not with fear but with kindness. This has to be the way we go forward.

Terrifying mass shooting and high-profile officer-involved incidents have dominated the national conversation on gun violence in recent years. But most deaths by gun are not headline-grabbing massacres. They`re more private, more intimate, and perhaps in that way, even more horrifying. Domestic violence, make no mistake, domestic violence is a gun issue.

Melissa Harris-Perry

I am so proud to be the Mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania - a storied steel town I like to say built half the world.

John Fetterman

I work tirelessly advocating for gun violence prevention and promoting common-sense gun laws that could spare other parents the pain of having their child taken by senseless gun violence - laws the NRA's leadership has fought against relentlessly.

Lucy McBath

On my left arm, I have the zip code 15104. That's Braddock, Pennsylvania, my home and the community I was honored to serve as mayor for 15 years.

John Fetterman

In Chicago, which has the toughest gun laws in the United States, probably you could say by far, they have more gun violence than any other city. So we have the toughest laws, and you have tremendous gun violence.

Donald Trump

It seems that the only gun violence some leftists approve of is gun violence aimed at cops and other groups they see as oppressive or racist.

Gary Bauer

Since the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School three years ago, we have lost over 90,000 Americans to gun violence. This is a manmade crisis that needs to be treated as the public health epidemic it has become.

Elizabeth Esty

When I ran the first time in 2001, they called me 'The Latino Mayor.' By the time I left in 2013, with a 58 percent approval rating, half the people liked me, half the people didn't. I was everybody's mayor. There was never any criticism that I was just for one group.

Antonio Villaraigosa
