Despite Studies, Researchers Hold Off On Gun Control by Kelly Kennedy. USA TODAY. March 4, 2013.
The work of three gun violence researchers is profiled, highlighting their avoidance of advocacy positions. The role of unbiased research in this area is important and will probably become more so. For example, researchers at the CDC now have room to proceed in light of President Obama executive order revoking the prohibition of gun research at that institution.
One striking finding of one of the researchers: The life expectancy of Americans is lower than other Western nations because of shooting deaths of young people.
