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.

It's getting some attention. My hope is that we reach places that are concerned about rights and hopefully they'll see that you can enact safety reforms in ways that are consistent with our system and laws.

Freaking brilliant - Let's use this. We must be outraged and we must USE this.

Let's kill less kids

(or if you prefer, fewer; but I think "let's kill less kids" is better.)

Thank you. I truly believe we can make this country safer, and in a way that is consistent with our Constitution. This study shows that

Love this! This one is close to my heart, as you know! I probably think about these issues more than I should.

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?
