The theme of this year’s symposium is "Beyond Thoughts and Prayers: Translating Gun Policy Science into Action to Reduce Firearm Violence." The symposium is free to attend, and registration is now open! Gun policy is currently viewed as a highly polarized, highly contentious issue. It is characterized as a zero-sum, winner-take-all game, as opposed to one where everyone benefits. However, there is more common ground on gun policy than people are led to believe, as well as ways to build on existing consensus to reach actionable solutions to gun violence. Featuring success stories at both the state and federal level, the symposium will explore how policymakers, academics, activists, and other stakeholders can help bridge the cultural and political divide to enact lasting and effective gun violence prevention policy. Together, we can change the contentious, overly simplistic way that gun policy is currently characterized in America.
