The new map shows how children’s death has been increased by states with firearms
Gun violence leads to the death of children in the US-and States with gunshot laws with the best burdens, a new study found
Gun violence Primary to cause death to children and teens in the US Since 2020. Now indicated by research, since 2010, these rates Increased by states with permission of weapon laws and reduced states with strict laws.
The new study, published on Monday of Jama Pediatrics, Comparing US firearms’ deaths says before and after the landmark supreme court case McDonald v. City of Chicago. The ability of 2010 court court decision to regulate gun access, and many primarily prompts weapon owning weapon requirements after rule.
Researchers follow each US state in one of three categories – “strictly,” “allow” and “most allowed” Weapon Laws. The more restrictive states are necessarily requirements such as safety training, background checks and waiting periods. They also tried to attack weapons to attack and some gun-enhancing hardware like stock stocks (which can make a rifle fire faster). The more permission of the state has limited requirements for gun possession, as well as laws that allow hidden firearms with firearms with own self-laws “like” Stand your Ground “

Researchers compare each state rate of pediatric dead from weapons between 1999 and 2010 during the period between 2011 and 2023 using the US centers for preventing and avoiding. In 49 states with adequate data, firearm death rates increased in 33 states, 31 considered “allowed.” Rates reduced to most of the four states, which are all considered to be “strict.”
Researchers also use historical data from 1999 to 2010 to predict the number of childhood Death of weapon That is expected in 2011 to 2023. The states with more stable gunshot laws are more or less than 55 more weapons death rather than expected firearms than expected. In the most stable state, the number is 6,029.
“All over the country, you have been watching 23,000 dead over 13 years instead of 16,000,” says the teenager Jeremy, an emergency room doctor at Brigham and Women’s Harvard Medical School. This burden has spread to urban, suburban and rural communities but affected black communities.
The data cannot be proud that different laws cause this difference. The dead who do not include weapons, including homicides and suicides, however, not showing in this state state.
There are two famous outliers of data-Illinois and Connecticut. These two states are in the strict category but have an important increase in death rate. For Illinois, “I don’t have a great explanation, but there is something to look at it,” said Faust. However “if you do not separate one day from Connecticut, Sandy Hook Massers, you have no progress.” School shooting, which occurred in 2012 and killed 20 children and six adults, carrying out strict gun laws with a connection now.
“We live in a society where we have these rights, but we also live in a society with 50 different interpretations of how we need to start studying what to work,” said Faust. “A place like new Hampshire probably doesn’t have the same solution as a place like California. (The solution) cannot be a size – everything.”
