Elizabeth Choma, clinical assistant professor at the George Washington University School of Nursing, is a pediatric nurse practitioner whose work focuses on firearm safety education in families. She can discuss this gun violence in the U.S., statistics about having firearms in your home and the importance of keeping your guns secure.
