State Representative Ruwa Romman joins us from Georgia where she is working hard to represent District 97, as well as advocating for better background checks, studies on preventing gun violence, and solutions to keep guns out of the hands of abusers. In 2022, she became the first Muslim woman to be elected to the Georgia State House of Representatives. ?Do most of us even know that the simple statistical STUDY of gun violence is not even allowed on a federal level in the US? No, and that’s why we have no clue how deeply guns affect us. Let’s find out what our closest politicians, the ones at the state level, are doing in order to support and make the study of gun violence imperative to our understanding of how urgently we need to address it starting at the kitchen table and masjid levels. ?This is a public health issue, NOT a control issue, as Rep.
