editAdding information regarding public health dimension of gun legislation. Bcapdevi (talk) 22:20, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
It might be helpful to add a section titled "Public Health" to reference a 2022 correspondence between researchers at the. University of Michigan and the New England Journal of Medicine which states that "generational investments are being made in the prevention of firearm violence, including new funding opportunities from the CDC and the National Institutes of Health." The correspondence refers to "funding for the prevention of community violence (that) has been proposed in federal infrastructure legislation" and the researchers emphasize the significance of such policy measures as a preventative public health solution in light of data indicating rising child mortality as a result of firearm related incidents, citing statistical evidence of firearm-related deaths replacing motor vehicle accidents as the leading cause of child mortality in 2020.
Would this information be a helpful addition? The source is at the URL: https://doi.org/10.1056%2FNEJMc2201761. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bcapdevi (talk • contribs) 22:26, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
