This is a powerful and devastating piece from Jeremy Faust, MD, and Nini Munoz. It connects the Minnesota school shooting directly to data showing how permissive gun laws drive up pediatric firearm deaths. Minnesota’s child firearm mortality rate rose significantly after 2011, showing that policy choices translate into children’s lives lost.
Perhaps your research paper should be required reading for state representatives & Senators. I would suggested it be on the night stand of the occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, however that individual is only concerned with his "ratings" and if he doesn't find them flattering he has the author(s) fired or shamed. 😥
The 3+ hr gong show that aired on national TV earlier this week from the White House would be the most glaring, public display of DJT need for praise regardless it being 'fake' & that is not new!
The mayor of the town where these tragic events occurred (sadly continue to be repeated) underscored prayers are not enough yet we continue to do so 🙏
Dr. Faust thank you once again for your dedication & commitment to making your readers more informed and thus allowing for us to speak trust to power.
I served one term as a school trustee & we often heard presentations with the goal to better educate of students as expected, however many discussions involved fostering "resilience" & zero tolerance for bullying behavior. I don't know how well we achieved our goal with the former & I do know our school systems & society our failing in our goal of limiting the latter.
Apology for my typos, however the side bar with this platform does not offer an option for editing, coupled with the completed comment is not in full view on my phone☹️
School shootings are pretty random and rare events with little tie to the general gun violence within any particular state. Is there data to support the impact of CT's gun laws comparing pediatric gun deaths in CT to similar states that didn't change their laws?
To be fair to Minnesota, and several other states listed as Permissive, there are reasons for that which should be considered.
Minnesota is in the top ten states for LICENSCED hunting and fishing, and it is also home to 11 Federally recognized Native American tribes which set their own regulations for their tribal lands.
There is a long-standing cultural tradition of hunting and fishing in Minnesota, along with many businesses and seasonal recreational facilities, campgrounds and parks catering to these legal activities.
