A new study shows that national nonfatal firearm injury rates surged 33% from 2019–2020. For every firearm death, more than two people survive with serious injury. Death counts understate the true toll of gun violence. ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/abs/10.210…

A new study found: 1 in 6 gun-owning households keeps at least one gun loaded & unlocked. Food insecurity, housing instability & financial hardship double the odds of unsafe storage. We must also fight gun violence by treating its root causes. doi.org/10.1001/jamane…
