By Elizabeth McGuigan<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems every public health journal is obligated to publish one junk-science article on kids and guns per year. The latest is a \u201cstudy\u201d published in Pediatrics<\/em> called \u201cState Gun Laws and Pediatric Firearm-Related Mortality.\u201d It is in the headlines<\/a>,<\/strong> and it is a mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through a series of deliberately terrible study design choices, the authors conclude that there are fewer children dying from firearm-related causes in states with more gun control laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study falls into the same trap that we have seen<\/a> so<\/a><\/strong> many times before. The authors choose to count as \u201cchildren,\u201d anyone from 0-21 years old. No one would be surprised<\/strong><\/a> to hear that the study finds most of the firearm deaths are due to assaults among 18-21-year-old male African Americans. As the authors state, \u201cThe majority of firearm-related deaths were assault related (61.6%) and occurred among males (87.3%) and 18- to 21-year-old individuals (68.7%).\u201d So why lump toddlers in with adult assault victims? It\u2019s simple. There\u2019s fortunately not much of a story for the rest of children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Missing Data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So the study design is misleading. Unfortunately, the data are terrible as well. Because the authors use data from the Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System (WISQARS), certain states are automatically excluded. In eight states, there were fewer than 10 firearms related deaths among children. The data for these states are not available, to ensure no one can identify specific individuals in such a small number of fatalities. However, this means that the study of gun laws vs. fatalities misses the exact states with the lowest number of fatalities. These states are: Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do most of these states have in common? They do not have the kind of ineffective gun control laws that this study suggests help protect \u201cchildren.\u201d The authors essentially cherry-picked the states that support their pre-determined conclusion, and even then, only with methodological gymnastics and a careful glossing over of certain findings. These include the fact that there was no causation found between a law and a rate of mortality. There wasn\u2019t even a statistically significant association between laws such as background checks for ammunition purchases or laws that require firearm identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, despite the best efforts of the authors, the poorly designed study didn\u2019t even clearly conclude what the resulting headlines proclaim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Real Deal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The real story \u2013 unintentional firearms deaths are at record lows<\/strong><\/a>. Firearms are involved in just 1.2 percent of unintentional fatalities among children 14 years of age and under, and are among the least likely types of unintentional fatalities among children. In the last two decades (1995 \u2013 2015), the number of unintentional firearm-related deaths involving children 14 years of age and under has decreased by 73.5 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no doubt that criminal activities involving young adults are a cause for concern in our communities. But in order to be effective, a solution must address the actual problems. And as we wrote earlier this week, criminals do not obey the law. They will not run a background check when they are illegally obtaining a firearm on the street. They will not register their illegal firearm with law enforcement. These policies will not stop crime.\u00a0We need real solutions for safer communities<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
