Two days ahead of the one-year anniversary of the Newtown mass murder, Dr. Nancy Snyderman took to the air on NBC's Nightly News, labeling gun violence a public health issue. However, neither Snyderman nor anybody quoted in the story made it clear exactly why the gun issue is a matter of public health. Anchor Brian Williams introduced the December 12 news package like this: "As we approach the one-year mark on Saturday of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, there is a plea tonight from this country's psychologists. They say the gun issue is not just a political issue, that protecting our children from gun violence, including in their own homes, is a matter instead of public health."
