I feel like I know even less after reading this piece.
It has an obvious bias - it purports to talk about gun violence, but then only talks about murders.
When talking about the dangers of having a gun in the home it does not attempt to tally injuries - which would be a sentinel event indicating imminent risk of death.
> Public health scholars have continued to research from a place of hostility to firearms.
Public health scholars are also hostile to viruses and bacteria. Public health scholars are also interested in promoting health of prostitutes and prison inmates. Guns don't make people healthier
To be clear, I don't think guns can be outlawed in America, so I don't think working towards that is a good use of political capital.
