Here we have a paper that is going to be presented as important in the study of gun violence.....a pediatric paper looking at children injured by guns...
The problem?
89% of the "children" are males over the age of 18....
So....we don't trust anti gunners to be truthful or objective.....
Differences in intent of pediatric injuries underscore importance of safe firearm storage
Firearm-related injuries are a leading cause of injury and death in children and adolescents. Knowing more about the differences in the intent of pediatric firearm-related injury, for instance, unintentional injuries compared with injuries related to assault, can guide injury-prevention efforts.
The study abstract, "Emergency Department Visits for Pediatric Firearm-Related Injury: By Intent of Injury," will be presented on Friday, Nov. 2, at the American Academy of Pediatrics 2018 National Conference & Exhibition in Orlando, Fla.
