During the event, speakers highlighted the critical intersection between public health and gun violence, arguing that misinformation undermines efforts to address this pressing issue. Advocates called for comprehensive strategies that include education, community engagement, and policy reform to combat the spread of false narratives surrounding gun safety.

Participants urged lawmakers and community leaders to take decisive steps toward creating safer environments, stressing that the health and safety of communities depend on accurate information and effective prevention measures.
