American children call on the government to control guns. (Data map)

Overseas Network, June 12th. The recent research on the New England Medical Journal (NEJM "showed that the firearms became the biggest reason for the death of American children and adolescents for the first time in 2020. Nearly 2/3 of the gun violence caused to death was murdered.

According to data from the US CDC (CDC), a total of 4,368 children and adolescents under the age of 19 in 2020 were killed under the gun, which means that 5.4 among American children and adolescents died of fire violence and gun violence. Nearly 2/3 of the deaths were murdered. "Washington Post" analysis of CDC data found that the violent shock of gun violence by African -American children and adolescents is particularly serious, and the possibility of death is more than 4 times that of white children. The second severe ethnic group affected by the firearms is the American Aboriginal people, and the Spanish Americans are behind.

Another data of Nejm pointed out that since the 1960s, the relevant conditions of preventing the death of vehicle accidents have continued to improve, and it is in a strong contrast to the prevention of gun death. The report pointed out that driving safety has been standardized by the National Highway Traffic Safety Management Agency (NHTSA), but gun safety lacks similar institutional control. Due to the opposition of politicians, few government research funds have always been assigned to the field of gun safety. (Overseas Network Hou Xingchuan)
