Dr Ellis might need to take that up that discrepancy with your American Academy of Pediatrics then
Or maybe the AAP's study is biased. Or they've assembled their data in a manner that supports the conclusions they preferred. Wouldn't be the first time.

This is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. The study cited did not reach the conclusion the news article is presenting. Here is that study, here is it's conclusion:
The study is saying if you were a victim of a gunshot then you're likely going to be a victim of violence again. This study said nothing about suicide other than suicide by gun is more likely to succeed. My source did not contradict this. My source said if you're denied a gun you'll just find some other way to kill yourself.Hospitalization for a firearm-related injury is associated with a heightened risk for subsequent violent victimization or crime perpetration. Further research at the intersection of clinical care, the criminal justice system, and public health to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions delivered to survivors of firearm-related injury is warranted.
Who's rights were being infringed on with seat belt laws?
Well, I have things to do besides swap links nobody reads. Laters.

Times change as do crime stats. The UK currently enjoys the lowest overall crime figures since records began and our gun laws have doubtless contributed in some small way to that . I think thats pretty significant even if you don't
His stats were out of date. I updated them. Of more relevence is the fact that our already very low gun crime continues to fall as the few guns left in circulation are steadily removed.I didn't say you didn't have some excuse why not. I just said you ignored them as irrelevant, because you don't WANT to consider stats that don't support your position.
I can't make you see something you dont want to
Ditto.
