JAMA devotes special issue to gun violence
« on: September 28, 2022, 09:27:21 pm »
The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) has devoted an entire issue to gun violence in the US. MedPage Today (September 27. 2022) gives a rundown on the articles included in the issue--"JAMA Devotes Special Issue to Gun Violence":

Now that JAMA has weighed in with an entire issue on gun violence, I don't expect much to change. Yes, gun violence is and should be a medical issue. But the time has come for less talk and more action, less gathering of statistics (the facts are definitely in and have been in for a long time) and more real change that will result in a reduction in the number of firearms in circulation.

More statistics are being gathered. This is an article in JAMA Network Open (November 29, 2022) by pediatrician researchers at Emory University, Brown University, Harvard University, and other institutions, "Trends and Disparities in Firearm Fatalities in the United States, 1990-2021":
