Gun injuries fall during NRA conventions, study says - CNN

During National Rifle Association annual conventions, when about 80,000 gun owners spend a few days focused on seminars, events and meetings, America seems to be safer, new research suggests.


When a state hosted a convention, and presumably a higher percentage of local gun enthusiasts attended, gun-related injuries in that state fell 50%, said Dr. Anupam Jena, the study's senior author and an associate professor of health care policy at Harvard Medical School.

Gun injuries fall during NRA conventions, study says - CNN

During National Rifle Association annual conventions, when about 80,000 gun owners spend a few days focused on seminars, events and meetings, America seems to be safer, new research suggests.

More specifically, the rate of firearm-related injuries when NRA members gather en masse falls by 20% nationwide, according to a study published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
When a state hosted a convention, and presumably a higher percentage of local gun enthusiasts attended, gun-related injuries in that state fell 50%, said Dr. Anupam Jena, the study's senior author and an associate professor of health care policy at Harvard Medical School.
The Harvard-led researchers looked at the number of hospitalizations and emergency room visits tied to firearm injuries during convention dates and the three weeks before and after conventions. To reach their conclusions, they combed through nearly 76 million medical insurance claims filed by privately insured patients between 2007 and 2015.

njury reductions were most significant among men from the South and the West, where gun ownership -- and likely NRA membership -- is greater.
"Fewer people using guns means fewer gun injuries, which in some ways is not surprising," said Jena, who is also a practicing physician at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. "But the drop in gun injuries during these large meetings attended by thousands of well-trained gun owners seems to refute the idea that gun injuries stem solely from lack of experience and training in gun use."

Are nra conventions gun free zones like cpac ones?

Nope....you can carry your gun into the convention areas.....

I believe it. While the convention is going on, everybody drives and walks around on eggshells and trying to avoid gun nuts.

The NRA is not impressed by the findings. "This study is another example of when data and numbers fly in the face of logic and common sense," said Jennifer Baker, the NRA's director of public affairs, in a statement.

I wouldn't make any conclusions either after a brief scan through the OP linked article.

It is a nice piece of information....and shows that the New England Journal of Medicine will post anything...
