There is greater awareness that firearm violence, as a subset of violence in general, is a serious health problem and that it is preventable.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=peaceandhealthblog.com&#038;blog=2530833&#038;post=1952&#038;subd=ippnweupdate&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

They will also be discussing the next ten years, and opportunities for advancing our global common cause – to prevent needless injuries and deaths from firearm violence, which still injures hundreds of thousands each year, and maims and traumatizes millions more.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=peaceandhealthblog.com&#038;blog=2530833&#038;post=1929&#038;subd=ippnweupdate&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
