Statement from FCA President & CEO, Dr. Jeffrey Reynolds

May 24, 2022 | Happenings, News

“Once again, lives have been lost and torn apart by senseless gun violence, this time at an elementary school in Texas. We mourn with the families of the 19 children and 2 adults who were killed, as well as all those impacted by this horrific act. We know that practically every parent in America is hugging their children a little tighter tonight and feeling more vulnerable and exposed than ever before. At FCA, we continue to view gun violence as one of our nation’s most pressing public health problems. While a single, comprehensive solution eludes us, we believe that responsible gun safety legislation, adequate public funding for prevention programs and comprehensive mental health support for children, teens and adults, including those impacted by violence are critical components of a long-overdue national strategy to save lives.”
