Charles Booker:
We are dealing with the trauma of gun violence as a public health crisis
New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit Thursday against the

accusing top executives of "years of illegal self-dealings" that funded a
"lavish lifestyle." Kentucky state lawmaker Charles Booker says, "This is
personal to me. I lost a cousin this morning that was murdered. And over the
past 4 years, I've had 5 cousins murdered. We are dealing with the trauma of gun
violence as a public health crisis.” He goes on to say the NRA is weaponizing
hate.
