Two Further Reports

Two very late entries to the research, both very good.

This is an overview of the largest study on gun violence in the U.S. to date. The findings are pretty startling. The authors found that for every 1% increase in gun ownership proportions, there was a 0.9% increase in gun homicides.

This is a report that came out some time ago and found, essentially, that guns pose a greater risk to people living around them than to anybody else. Fascinating stuff. The comparative statistics on childhood gun violence are heart-breaking.
