Seven pages of heavy reading but worth a look.
“Gun Violence” as a Public Health Issue: a Physician’s Response
Conclusion
Organized medicine’s decades-long campaign to have
firearm-related fatalities considered as a public health rather
than a criminal justice issue is not evidence-based. Its reliance
on weak, even tainted evidence and spurious reasoning,
and its attempts to suppress or discredit contrary evidence,
is consistent with a political agenda of incremental civilian
disarmament.
