Just a superficial glance at the summary of this awesome study tells me (a retired bilingual "inner city" educator) that it should be unpacked and shared with educators-- so they can create lessons that show their students how the gun industry is directly affecting them.

Thank you. This study poses as many questions as it offers answers, but we have to be curious and honest enough to explore.

Congratulations on an important and impressive study! My hope is that it will be shared and cited widely in order to nudge our lawmakers into action on this critical public & pediatric health issue.

Absolutely great to see this study. Was the data broken down by age groups? Is there any way to see contrast between preschool age kids, elementary age, etc?
