in gun-related deaths—but Warren's answers were nonetheless weaker than the previous statements of her competitors, Senator Cory Booker and Senator Kamala Harris .
"Gun violence is a national health emergency in this country. We need to treat it like that. We can do the things that are sensible," Warren said in the debate held in Miami, Florida, on June 26."We can do universal background checks, we can ban weapons of war, but we can also double down on the research and find out what really works."
When NBC's Chuck Todd, one of the debate's moderators, asked if the federal government needs to figure out a way to get the guns already out there off the streets, Warren circled back to her original statement and said that we need to treat [gun violence] as a"serious research problem." She then said how guns in the hands of collectors who haven't fired them are different from guns that are sold and turned over quickly.
Warren says she wants to treat gun violence as a national health emergency:"We can do universal background checks, we can ban the weapons of war, but we can also double down on the research and find out what really works."
