As gun violence continues to impact communities across the US, researchers and policymakers are working together to understand better the causes and correlations of this public health emergency. One newer area of consideration is the intersection between alcohol misuse and gun violence.

Panelists Joshua Horwitz (CGVS), Silvia Villarreal (CRBFP & CGVS), and Maryland Senator Cory McCray discuss what is known about the dangerous intersection of alcohol misuse and firearms, as well as laws and policy recommendations that show promise for decreasing gun violence.
