“That was all the CDC needed to know, as in, don’t mess with this subject anymore”

Dr. Art Kellerman is Professor and Senior Vice President for Health Sciences  at Virginia Commonwealth University and CEO of VCU Health System. He also is a public health expert especially around the epidemiology and prevention of firearm-related violence and injuries.

In 1993 Dr. Kellerman helped author “Gun Ownership as a Risk Factor for Homicide in the Home”, a paper which led to the Dickey Amendment and a slammed door on further gun violence and injury prevention research. Hearing his perspective and insight is absolutely fascinating.
